Origin[]
A female anthropomorphic ferret turned angel. In life, Farrago was a soldier during a quasi-medieval time, 800 years before the current setting on a post-apocalyptic Earth. She was part of a squad sent to rescue their captured Queen's soul from Hell and was given wings. She made observations on life in Perdition and speculated that Hell was an escapable place, and was happy that many of the damned took her for an angel.
She perished in Hell when Father Rask, her former priest (who was later revealed to be the embodiment of Lust), cut off her wings and strangled her. She entered Heaven as a result of her life choices, where she volunteered to be an actual angel. She retained the bloody, severed wings for some time after assuming her new role.
Outgoing, friendly and understanding, Farrago held no qualms working with Jack, the Grim Reaper and embodiment of Wrath, a figure whom most other angels tended to avoid. Her wings were restored when she kissed Jack, but her lower feathers were partially darkened to reflect Jack's Sinful influence. Their relationship came to a tragic end when Jack struck her in a fit of rage, believing she was to blame for a sexual assault on a friend of his.
Farrago was heartbroken and disillusioned by her relationship with Jack, and eventually requested that her mind be wiped to prevent negative memories of him. God reluctantly agreed, and Farrago treated Jack as a new acquaintance, with a regretful Jack devastated that he had to play along. Farrago entered several relationships during this period, including with Reckonin.
Farrago now is part of the Heavenly force providing military and tactical advice to the rebellion in Hell.
