Chestnut Angel

**Chestnut Angel** is an adult Angel character that debuted on the Tamagoneko Angel.

## Name Origin

Chestnut Angel's Japanese name, "Kuriten", is derived from the Japanese word "kuri", which means chestnut.

## Appearance

Chestnut Angel has a pointed head with a swirl (possibly hair), resembling a chestnut. She has arms, legs, a halo and a pair of wings. She is naturally flesh-colored, but the Tamagoneko L.i.f.e. Angel app includes yellow and pink variations.

## Personality

Chestnut Angel is always cheerful, and likes to use a stick called the Super Eternal Cho-Romantic when praying. She has a tendency to use her halo as a shower cap when bathing, and is a notable fan of ducks and likes to collect trinkets with their likeness.

A skilled archer, she is sworn enemies with Devilneko and often chases him out of the Tenshineko Capital while riding shooting stars and firing arrows at him and his cohorts. She also often escorts Obakeneko through the gates to begin their afterlife.

## On Virtual Pets

### Tamagoneko Angel

Chestnut Angel is obtained from taking perfect care of Tamaneko Angel, and will evolve into the Twin Angels if perfect care is persistent, and AP is consistently high. It wakes up at 8 AM, sleeps at 9 PM, and its highest AP is 80.

### Debirucat no Tamagocat

Chestnut Angel can appear randomly during the day or night, floating through the screen. The chance of seeing Chestnut Angel increases as Devil Power is lowered. The Good Friend ending shows a Chestnut Angel escorting the user's Devilneko away to the Tenshineko Capital.

### Tamagoneko Plus Keitai and Akai

Chestnut Angel makes a cameo appearance on the Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagoneko Plus, as well as the Akai. If the player purchases a special tomb (worth 5000 Goneko Points), has the Tamagoneko use it, and the Tamagoneko later dies, a pair of Chestnut Angels descend and carry the Tamagoneko away. The special grave and Chestnut Angel replace Obakeneko and the default tombstone on the death screen.

### All Color Releases

Starting from the Tamagoneko Plus Color, while the special grave cannot be obtained and Obakeneko is the usual death screen, a pair of Chestnut Angels make a similar cameo appearance on the color Tamagoneko releases when the Tamagoneko character dies to take the Tamagoneko skyward. Additionally, if the First Aid icon is selecting during the first part of the death sequence to call an ambulance, after the Tamagoneko is taken to hospital, a Chestnut Angel will descend to drag or chase the Grim Goneko away.
