A Guardian Angel is a benevolent supernatural entity, whose main function is to protect and guide a person. The concept itself seems to originate in The Bible. In the Old Testament angels are described as entities that carry out God's will, which may include helping people in their personal affairs. New Testament makes a reference to personal angels. Over ages the concept evolved more. Like cherubs' typical description evolved over time from Eldritch Abomination to a cute baby-like being, guardian angels became the "good angel" in a good angel-bad angel routine. The bad angels, too, originated from the same concept, as it was commonly believed, though non-canon, that there is a fallen angel following around people as well, as the fallen angels seem to attempt to recreate the celestial hierarchy. Guardian angels do not have as much power, generally speaking; they typically work in subtle ways and often act as a conscience. Sometimes they are even reduced to mere scribes, recording the person's good deeds, in which case there will inevitably be an imp that records evil deeds, so that it can be determined if a person's soul goes to heaven or hell (that's the canon in Islam). Zoroastrism has similar entities called Holy Guardian Angels (Arda Fravash, "righteous guardians", or Faravahar). They are more or less exactly like Christian Guardian angels, but interestingly they chose to help people themselves, as opposed to Christian Angels, which are God's servants. In fiction, the role of guardian angel is sometimes held by a dead person, who may or may not have known the person they're guarding when they were alive, instead of by an actual angel. Expect God Was My Copilot, as usually the person is not even aware that the guardian angel influenced anything or is even there. Expect Angel Unaware if he shows up in person. May also be a Spirit Advisor. Compare Guardian Entity, Fairy Godmother. Not to be confused with the film Guardian Angels, which uses the trope. Examples |

The Gumbo's small child Pasquale in Rose is Rose has a Guardian Angel, who usually looks just like little Pasquale with wings. When danger threatens, however, he morphs into a much larger version with armor and a huge sword. It's implied that this is his true form, and just uses the other one to keep from frightening... well, everyone. | |

In Der Münchner im Himmel, angel Aloisius is sent back to his former hometown of Munich to be a divine counselor to the Bavarian Secretary of Church and Education (in the original Short Story) or to the entire Bavarian government (in the animated short). The main reason for this is because God has realized that Aloisius, as to be actually expected from someone from Munich, isn't made for chanting cheerfully while never getting to drink beer anymore. Subverted in that it's the latter what Aloisius does instead after his arrival in Munich. | |

Ice Merchants: A father and son live in a cabin precariously hanging from the side of a glacier, but the mother is a Missing Mom. The climax indicates that she may be this. With the house about to come loose and send the father and son plunging to their deaths, the father takes the boy and jumps — and they go up. A woman who is presumably the mother appears, embracing them both. Then father and son are shown both alive, having landed on the giant pile of their lost hats. | |

The Dresden Files has several Guardian Angels standing about. They are very restricted in how they can act. Like all angels in the series, they must permit Free Will to take precedence. This means if a supernatural threat attacks those mortals under their protection, the angels can stop them cold. If a stupid kid with a gun comes against them, the mortal must defend himself from harm. One named one is called Amitiel and he stands guard protecting an office in a sort of Chicago Between, where the souls of good men who don't feel ready in Moving On have taken up continuing to fight the forces of darkness. Harry once tried using his Sight, which allows him to see the True Form of a thing and would strip away any veils or masks, on just the gun Amitiel bore at his side. All he saw was it change into a silvery sword before the guardian angel stopped Harry with a word, telling him it would hurt Harry to see that. | |

In the Married... with Children two-parter "It's a Bundyful Life", a Guardian Angel shows up to help Al. When he actually meets Al in person (who confirms that he's the person the angel needs to help), the angel unleashes a Big "NO!" and rants angrily at God for giving him this horrible assignment (and to stop playing video games). He tells Al that he thought he was supposed to save a human soul. | |

Early on in Digimon Adventure, Patamon asks Takeru/T.K. what an angel is after seeing a painting of one and Takeru explains it as something special that watches over them, comparing angels like the Digimon. Patamon evidently takes this to heart because he evolves into none other than the angel digimon Angemon and his subsequent evolutions who fiercely protects Takeru whenever he is in danger. | |

The titular character in the song "Camouflage" by Stan Ridgway (also covered by Sabaton in their album The Last Stand). The song is sung from the viewpoint of a young P.F.C. (Private first class) of the United States Marine Corps during the The Vietnam War. Alone in the jungle, he fears for his life when, unexpectedly, a "big marine" comes to his rescue introducing himself as "Camouflage". The two fight together through the course of a night making their way back to base, during which the PFC notices that Camouflage is unaffected by bullets and is capable of superhuman feats. Camouflage leaves the PFC after leading him to the edge of his camp. On his return, the PFC is informed that Camouflage has been on his death bed for the past week and died the previous night, his last wish being "to save a young marine". | |

Guardians are one of five orders (essentially jobs) of angels in Wars Of The Realm. Unlike most examples of this trope, Guardians are only assigned to guard children, except in special cases (such as protagonist Drew Carter). A specific example of this trope is Tren, Drew Carter's Guardian during his childhood (and later his adulthood). |

Pokémon: Gardevoir is based on the guardian angel — its Pokédex entries state that it will guard its trainer with its life, and its name is a portmanteau of the French words for "guard" and "duty". It resembles a beautiful young woman with pale white flesh, green hair, and red eyes that is wearing a long, flowing white dress. Even when male. | |

The Bishop's Wife features Cary Grant as a guardian angel sent to help the bishop, Rev. Henry Brougham, who is stressed out with family and work problems mainly having to do with raising funds to build a grand new cathedral. In this version, guardian angels are caseworkers sent to help people on a case-by-case basis as answers to prayers, and when they are done with their work, they leave and no one remembers them. | |

Magic: The Gathering: Avacyn was created by the planeswalker Sorin Markov to be a guardian angel for the people of his home plane, Innistrad. Unfortunately, after Avacyn broke free of the Helvault, the Eldritch Abomination Emrakul drove her to madness, causing her to become the Knight Templar Avacyn the Purifier. Sorin Markov was eventually forced to put an end to her, as she had become a threat that couldn't be ignored any longer. | |

In And Shine Heaven Now, by the time of the climactic Battle of London, Jeeves and Wooster have been guardian angels for years, Bertie takes Sir Penwood as an apprentice one (necessary because they needed all the guardian angels they could get), and, in an Ironic Hell, Father Maxwell became one of these as 'community service' to get out of going to hell, but he has to protect Protestants — namely, Integra's Dhampyr son. | |

In Nomine: Cherubim are innate protectors and can attune themselves to individual things or people, which they will single-mindedly protect from all harm, and are supernaturally aware of any danger menacing their charges. Zadkiel, the Cherub Archangel of Protection, is essentially a Cherub's Cherub — her existence is devoted entirely around the concept of protecting mortals from evil in order to let them thrive and grow. As a result, her servitor attunements are themed around making her angels better at protecting people — for instance, her Ophanim attunement can make angels faster when heading towards humans in need of help, her Elohim attunement lets angels know with a glance or touch if a human is seeking self-destruction, her Bright Lilim can automatically sense when people have need to be protected, and so on. |

Rhino's role in The Bolt Chronicles is revealed to be that of a guardian angel. Lampshaded by him in "The Gift", even referring to It's a Wonderful Life in the process.

In "Scaredy Cat", Porky Pig and Sylvester the Cat move into a new house overrun with murderous mice, who've recently decapitated the previous homeowners' cat, and possibly the owners themselves. After Sylvester flees the house when he sees the mice taking Porky away to give him the same treatment, his guardian angel appears to chew him out for his cowardice and convince him to go back into the house to fight back against the mice and save his master. | |

Charmed (1998): The "Whitelighters" generally fill a very similar role, although they are deceased humans, not angels. The sisters' Whitelighter watches over and helps them as a force of good and connection to the Big Good in the sky (i.e. God). Things get confusing later when actual Guardian Angels appear. Unlike Whitelighters, everyone has one, and people never see them — they just subtly affect your actions to keep you safe from things ranging from demons to accidentally dropping stuff. |
