Naomi

Naomi is an angel that was responsible for sending 'an incursion' that claimed several angels' lives to save Castiel from Purgatory. Her exact status is yet to be shown but it appears she holds some authority in Heaven.

Season 8


Naomi makes her first appearance at the end of A Little Slice of Kevin. After Castiel confronted Crowley, she whisked Castiel to Heaven. She told Castiel she was responsible for saving him from Purgatory. Naomi asked Castiel to tell her information about the Winchesters, which Castiel did casually, much to his own surprise. Naomi then urged Castiel to help the Winchesters recover the tablet. Before she sent Castiel back to Earth, Naomi made it clear she wanted Castiel to report to her every now and then. She also promised that no one will even know when and if he reports to her. Castiel disagreed, but Naomi disregarded his resistance and merely smiled. True to her word, when she sent him back, he was unable to remember he had spoken to her. In "Hunteri Heroici", near the summation of the episode, she yanks Castiel to Heaven, and has a brief word with him. She tells him she doesn't want him in Heaven unless she permits it, prompting Castiel to question what he should do, after which she asks him what he wants to do.

When Samandriel inadverdently revealed the existence of a tablet pertaining to angels, she ordered Castiel to assassinate the captured angel. Naomi was convinced it had to be done to protect the angels and heaven. She also wanted Castiel to bring Samandriel's remains to heaven so she could examine how much information Crowley extracted from Samandriel.

Powers & Abilities
While her exact rank in the Heavenly Host is unknown, Naomi is an undoubtedly powerful angel with a high degree of authority over Heaven and its denizens, even ones as powerful as the Fallen Angel/Seraph Castiel. As an angel, she likely possess all of the basic powers and weaknesses of an angel, and a few unique ones. Her powers include:


 * Compulsion - Naomi could compel other angels to follow her command. During their conversations, Castiel replied immediately and in full to any question she put to him. She later forced Castiel to murder Samandriel, an order he was unable to refuse.
 * Memory Manipulation - When Castiel was returned to Earth, he was unable to remember speaking with her.
 * Summoning/Banishment - She was able to transport Castiel from Earth to Heaven and then teleport him back to the exact place and time without the Winchesters noticing. She could also prevent Castiel from re-entering Heaven again without her consent. She has also shown the ability to converse with Castiel in Heaven while Castiel himself was also present on Earth.
 * Chronokinesis - Her discussions with Castiel took up no time on Earth.
 * Superhuman Strength - Naomi could easily lift Castiel, a Seraph, off his feet.
 * Healing - She relieved Castiel of his insanity.
 * Rehabilitation - she forcefully restored Castiel's alignment and obedience to Heaven, albeit with imperfect results.
