#6 Angel
Angel Deverell: Everyone always told me my dreams were lies, because I said out loud wht I should have kept secret. But all I ever wanted was to make it true: to wish and to wish and to wish, and to make it true.

And if God had posessed me with with beauty and wealth, I could make it as hard for you to leave me as I to leave you!
