I've been around for four hundred and sixteen years. In that time, I've helped people fall in love over a million times, in different generations. I've never really had time to look around for myself, other than to dress to keep up with the times.
I've met a lot of different spirits, but none have actually managed to keep me entertained like April. Although, like it's my job to safeguard Love, it's kind of her job to safeguard Entertainment. When I first met her, she helped me get a couple together via one of her special "tricks". Unethical for me but it did the job.
Have you guessed who I am yet? Sorry, I shouldn't tease because it's not really right but I couldn't help it. My name was Angelique De Lotte, born in Paris, France in 1596. But now, I'm kind of known as Cupid.
And yes, I have wings.
My job entails me, keeping an eye on Love. But not romantic love like the Cupid or Eros from Greek Mythos. No, as Cupid, I create and safeguard any and all types of love. As a matter of fact, familial love (or love between a family) is the most common form of love and the one I am most drawn to. Romantic love comes second and makes me extremely busy on Valentine's Day. To be honest, I kind of dislike Valentine's Day because I'm working for the whole day before it, during it and after it to keep up with the demands of romance. Anyway, off topic. After Romantic love comes platonic love.
Now I may not be seen by a lot of real people, but some of the ones that do see me give off the most protective platonic and familial love I've ever felt and it quite frankly equates to a sugar rush when I'm surrounded by that much love and affection.
So that's me, does anyone else have something to say?
