First there's Archangel Chamuel, and now here's my take on Archangel Gabriel, the messenger angel. I have a blast with this character, especially with this card version, and I have talked to my friends about them.

I made Gabe to look like one of those illustrations next to Raphael and Michael. They indeed do look masculine but also feminine. I read that in Daniel's Book (Chapter 9), Gabe is described with male and female characteristics. So, I imagined Gabriel is intersex with they/them pronouns; they can be addressed however they wish to be pleased, especially as archangel or simply Gabriel.

Besides as a messenger, I read that white lilies are the flowers that Gabriel is holding, and they are the one who recognizes Mother Mary's purity and tells the news about her having a child soon while holding that said flowers.

With that understanding, I don't think Gabriel would be fond of Lilith at all, especially knowing what curse she brought upon Jewish mothers.
