Angel doesn't need to eat.

She can taste food, and enjoy it- but she won't feel the sensation of an empty stomach, or gnawing hunger pains. It doesn't stop her from savoring what she does have, though; food to her is a means through which care is expressed, and through which she's learned to express her own care.

But, really, she doesn't need to eat in the same way she doesn't need to sleep- her body can certainly grow weary, and her muscles can ache and strain, but she won't feel any sensation of sleepiness.

It's something she shares with her brothers, or at least a few of them. Though all relatively close in age, it isn't difficult to notice differences based on their creation order; the eldest ones have the characteristics of traditional servants, created to tirelessly serve a single purpose. Moving down the birth order means an increase in characteristics more akin to life on Earth- a need for energy, metabolisms, and benefiting from rest.

As angels, they're a spectrum- a representation of what happens when an entire group turns away from the innate purpose they were given, and towards something different. Their biology is gradually following along with them.
