Oh I would not suggest removing Beastie altogether Jesper! That one is too well known, but to add a supplementary angel with the feminine would add to the Package. I am not talking St. Michael here, but rather Lillith, or Mary, or one of Lot's daughters, or even Dinah (who was raped), or the Harlot by the side of the road...no, not the harlot, because it would better be the absolute opposite of Beastie...but not too soft, not Bianca, but the shrew. Probably a Mary would make a good bet.
