I like the background image used on this site. I want to know the name of creature present above Ask Question button.

1It sort of reminds me of an angel, but it's difficult to tell from the silhouette alone.– FishBasketGordoCommented Mar 30, 2012 at 13:58

1It looks like a One Winged Angel. Perhaps it is preparing for a big fight?– XantecCommented Mar 30, 2012 at 14:00

I have not given her a name... (feel free to write a lore of her!). I originally gave her two wings, but I thought one wing would be more interesting.

I always thought both wings were folded together -- with just the silhouette, it's hard to be sure at just what angle the angel's wing comes out from.– TangoCommented Mar 30, 2012 at 19:57

3Only half a bell was rung. She only got half her wings. Commented Mar 30, 2012 at 23:29

3@OghmaOsiris: Was it that half a bell was rung or a whole bell was only half-rung?– TangoCommented Mar 31, 2012 at 3:51

3@TangoOversway Actually I think a quarter bell was rung twice :)– TacroyCommented Apr 23, 2012 at 21:30
Somehow, I always thought of her as the Angel of Death.
Hov'ring over blasted ground,
Waiting for her soldiers firm;
Hov'ring over roiling seas,
Waiting for her sailors sweet.How the Angel stares around,
Longing for her prey to squirm:
Every dying soul she sees
Can be seized in manner meet.Runes of summons can be found:
Hieroglyphics will affirm,
Those who seek to Death appease,
Questions ask, for her a treat!

2@fez Yep, I thought my answer should be a bit more than a one-liner, so I came up with a poem off the cuff :-) Thanks!– Rand al'Thor ModCommented Mar 6, 2022 at 9:18
