## Biography

### Early life

Gabriel was born to a French father, Ariel Reaux, and a Palestinian mother, Zainab Mansour. His mother fled what was then the Empire’s Palestine during the human Nakba with his grandmother. His grandparents did not survive, but his mother landed in the Empire’s France. She was taken in by a Mizrahi Jewish family who also fled due to the corruption of magic in the now-destroyed Palestine. Eventually, while in a French emergency camp, she met Ariel and they later married and had two children together: Gabe, and his younger sister Evangeline.

Zainab had initially named Gabriel *Jibril*, but later realized the name was bound to Palestine and saying it too much would tether him to the corrupt magic and, with enough time, kill him. She and Ariel quickly changed his name to the English *Gabriel* in order to keep him safe.

Gabe grew up with a fairly good childhood. He and his family moved quite a bit from the Empire’s capital to France, then America, and back to the capital. At some point, he met Anita Ibrahim and became good friends with her. He and his family left for a while, then came back. When they returned, his sister, Evangeline, fell in love with Anita’s then-girlfriend, Angelica, who left Anita to be with Evangeline. Anita was heartbroken, and Gabe was there for her while she sorted through her grief. They later fell in love and began dating.

## Appearance

Gabe has brown skin and curly hair, both inherited from his mother. He has the same shade of blond as his father, but like all angels of color, the hair near his scalp resembles that of the ethnicity he’s closest to on Earth—in his case, his roots are a dark brown. He has light brown eyes, like Zainab. He is tall and lean, with large wings and a halo that wraps all around his head.

## Trivia

* Gabe is multilingual: he can speak English, French, and Palestinian Arabic. Due to spending more time in France, he tends to speak the language more than the others. However, he is still fluent in English and Arabic, albeit with a unique accent. As is customary for angels, he also knows some basic Greek and Latin.
* He prefers his Arabic name as opposed to the English translation.
* He has a deep desire to see Palestine, whether it be the one on Earth or in the Afterworlds.
* Gabriel’s Arabic name is taken from his maternal grandfather.
