Ángel Guerra[2] is the father of Isabel Guerra in Paranatural. After a brief cameo in Chapter 4, he makes his first major appearance in Chapter 6.
Appearance[]
Mr. Guerra has long, brown hair and an oblong face. In his flashback appearance in Chapter 4, his hair covers his right eye, he has short stubble and sideburns, and he wears a purple shirt.
In Chapter 6, his now-visibly graying hair is pulled back behind his ears and tied in a loose ponytail, his facial hair has grown out into a goatee, and he appears to be more muscular than he was in the past. At first, he wears a black t-shirt over beltless blue jeans with what appears to be a phone in his back pocket; while training with Penny Spender, he wears a light green t-shirt depicting the words "WORK OUT YOUR CONFLICTS".
Personality[]
While arguing with her grandfather, Francisco Guerra, in Chapter 4, Isabel refers to her father as "some meek flower".[3] In-person, Mr. Guerra appears to be more confident, relaxed, and mature.
Background[]
In a flashback, Mr. Guerra is seen visiting Isabel in the hospital after her violent encounter with a Doberman Pinscher. While Isabel resides with her grandfather at his dojo, Mr. Guerra does not seem to live with them. He currently appears to work at an antiques shop at the Mayview Mini Mall.
Paranatural[]
Chapter 4[]
As Isabel recounts her memory of their "first meeting" to Eightfold, a young Mr. Guerra can briefly be seen hovering over Isabel in the hospital alongside Ed Burger and Isabel's mother. Afterwards, Eightfold points out that Isabel's story had some facts both missing and incorrect, singling out that she had excluded something about her parents.[4]
Chapter 6[]
After successfully stealing a lantern possessed by the Ghost Train from Mina Zarei, Penny returns to the mall's antique shop and offers it to Mr. Guerra, who agrees to pay "the usual" for it. After changing clothes, Mr. Guerra wields a bamboo stick and warns her to be cautious about revealing her white spectral energy before beginning their "lesson."[5]

Relationships[]
Family[]
- Francisco Guerra - Francisco is stated by Isabel to hold disdain towards his son, implied to be due to his docile personality.[6] In the flashback in chapter 7, Francisco refers to his son as "worthless" for abandoning his wife without concern for Isabel's wellbeing; he also believes that everything his son did to lead a normal, non-spectral life was in effort to rebel against him.[7] On the other hand, Ángel describes his upbringing as very controlling: he wasn't allowed to bond with tooled-up spirits, unlike the other students of the dojo. This is cited by Ángel as a mean intended to make him reliant on his father, for fear that his son would leave.[8] Furthermore, Ángel believes that Francisco was disappointed that his son hadn't developed the same spectral energy color as his own, red, but had got his mother's black instead.[9]
- Isabel Guerra - Mr. Guerra isn't very present in Isabel's life; she resides with and is raised by Francisco at his dojo, where Mr. Guerra refuses to set foot in. It's implied that after the separation of her parents, Isabel stays most of the week at the dojo, where her mother lives too, and that she spends the weekend at her father's place.[10] After Francisco scolds Isabel for her overconfidence while sparring with Scabs, Isabel argues that he dislikes her father for the opposite reason, referring to him as "some meek flower."[11]
- Amy Chen - Mr. Guerra was once married to her, but they divorced long ago[12]. Francisco implies they had already broken up over six years ago[13].
Other[]
- Penny Spender - Mr. Guerra appears to be relatively friendly towards Penny, and seems to be a sort of mentor figure towards her. He is concerned for her well-being, warning her about the consequences of revealing her spectral energy in public.
