Angel

Angel (天使 Tenshi) is a kind of spiritual being present in Claire: Chronicles of the Carmine Blood.

Traits
In religious senses, an angel is a wholly spiritual being, thus does not have the needs of a normal human beings. They are commonly depicted being serene, loving and positive, and serves as God's paraphernalia and is depicted to be the immaterial voice of God. Their role is to support and guide humans and fulfill God's tasks. (all the said definitions come from Wikipedia and Touhou Wiki).

Apart from these, according to CaraPrincess, an angel in the Carmine Blood universe have these abilities:


 * Purifying every being's hearts
 * Flight (this is obviously a common trait among members of this species)
 * Control of light
 * Eternal life
 * Ability to bring tranquility to every being's mind and the surroundings

In most religious traditions (and in the series), they are created beings, created by the power of God. However, in some (extremely) rare cases, Angels can be created from a lesser-ranked spiritual being such as Tsukumogami or a Soul of a Human by or a by purging their sins and impurities, such as the example of Ritsuko Shinko's elevation of status from a Tsukumogami of a tambourine into an Angel. However, it is not clear how this process works, since instances like these are extremely rare, and according to CaraPrincess, it is a Holy Mystery that only God could know.

Archangels
Archangels (大天使 Daitenshi) is an Angel of high rank. True to their rank compared to normal Angels, they possess far much greater power than that of a normal Angel, and thus, they are usually tasked to maintain everything good in the universe by purifying evil beings' hearts. They usually lead many other angels, but are still loyal to God. The only known member of this subgroup is Megumi Kiyono.
