Grethe Angelsen

"Money can buy happiness.You just gotta find the right dealer."

Personality
If happiness could take angel form and discover capitalism along the way, it would have manifested into Grethe. Grethe is always smiling, cheerful and energetic, almost threateningly so. She loves to  'help'  others, and appears to be a very friendly person. However at heart, none of this is particularly true. Grethe is an extreme Stepford Smiler and everyone can tell. Her personality is completely obscured by the artificiality that seeps from every part of her facade.

Grethe takes great pride in the idea that she is projecting an ideal. Due to her Guardian Angel role, she considers her literal god-given purpose to be guiding and protecting humans, as well as give them something to strive for- in this case eternal happiness.

However all this outlook has given her is an inflated ego. Despite her permanent facade of humbleness, it's clear she often looks down on others. While she acts like she cares for others wellbeing, she's very patronising about it. In conversations it's clear she doesn't really listen, dominating them with her own thoughts on the matter. She's extremely self absorbed, and if anyone doesn't go along with what she's saying, she will ignore them.

Grethe doesn't often drop her persona, except when she's with friends or people she sees as equals. Beneath the facade, Grethe is quite predictably very immature. She's quite petulant, with a tendency to complain about all the things she couldn't show irritation towards at the time. Grethe is quite an irritable person in general. She's also very hot-headed and quick to argue.

Beneath it all, Grethe is terrified of the idea of sadness. Despite her story's moral, Grethe adamantly denies and tries to ignore any issues that could make her sad. She refuses to feel sadness at all costs. The sadder a situation is, the more stubbornly she tries to stay happy. Even if she has to deny its existence.

Grethe is also very averse to emotional help from others. Despite being generally needy in all other aspects of her life, she gets irritated when anyone tries to comfort her, should she ever be upset. She'd frankly rather solve things by herself should it ever come to it.
