Dominion: Why I Think Noma is A Secret Angel



Noma could be hiding some wings underneath that uniform.
              Ever since we discovered that higher angels have been hiding in Vega, it made me wonder that maybe one of them healed Michael. But which angel? Theories abound and first people thought it was Gabriel, but the mystery angel wasn't wearing his signature leather pants. Then I wondered: maybe someone close to Michael. My mind immediately went to Noma in "The Flood".

Everyone in Vega has secrets...

           1. In "The Flood" Arika said that Noma was hiding a big secret. Noma joked that she was "afraid of heights". Hmmmmm that seems like an ironic joke somehow. The only other big secret Noma could be hiding is that she's either in love with Alex or Claire. Either way I sense a love triangle there. But a dark secret would be a closeted angel.

Noma's ready for battle

           2. Angels are essentially warriors. Their purpose is not just to deliver God's messages but also to fight for Him. It would make sense that Noma would join the Archangel Corps. Also she would want to stay close to Michael just in case incidents like the one he was in earlier occurred. 

Archangel down!

       But why wouldn't she tell Michael? Good question. One reason could be that she like the other higher angels wish to remain anonymous. Yet joining the Archangel Corps isn't exactly staying neutral. Maybe Noma is the humble angel. But this brings me to reason #3 which stems from #1:

"Take my advice: RUN"
"I'll be fine"
"I'm sure that's what the lady in the box said too."
          3. Noma could be spying for Gabriel or Uriel or even Raphael. Perhaps her mission is to keep an eye on Alex.

Noma's just one of the boys

          Michael said that on this plain, he can't tell who's a higher angel or not. He knows a certain few but not everyone. There could be angels in Vega that he doesn't even know about. So to answer a burning question: No, Michael would have no way of knowing if there was an angel hiding right under his nose. Noma is in the perfect position whatever her purpose or true intentions to either help Michael or destroy him. But if it was Noma who healed Michael then obviously she wants or needs him alive. We don't know that much about Noma yet and I would be happy to see her character explored more. I know she's important somehow, like "turn the tides of the war" important but I don't know why. We'll have to watch more episodes to get a deeper feel for Noma.
