Chestnut Angel (くりてん Kuriten) is an adult Angel character that debuted on the Tamagotchi Angel.
Name Origin[]
Chestnut Angel's Japanese name, "Kuriten", is derived from the Japanese word "kuri", which means chestnut.
Appearance[]
Chestnut Angel has a pointed head with a swirl (possibly hair), resembling a chestnut. She has arms, legs, a halo and a pair of wings. She is naturally flesh-colored, but the Tamagotchi L.i.f.e. Angel app includes yellow and pink variations.
Personality[]
Chestnut Angel is always cheerful, and likes to use a stick called the Super Eternal Cho-Romantic when praying. She has a tendency to use her halo as a shower cap when bathing, and is a notable fan of ducks and likes to collect trinkets with their likeness.
A skilled archer, she is sworn enemies with Deviltchi and often chases him out of the Tenshitchi Capital while riding shooting stars and firing arrows at him and his cohorts. She also often escorts Obaketchi through the gates to begin their afterlife.

Debirutch no Tamagotch[]
Chestnut Angel can appear randomly during the day or night, floating through the screen. The chance of seeing Chestnut Angel increases as Devil Power is lowered. The Good Friend ending occasionally shows a Chestnut Angel escorting the user's Deviltchi away to the Tenshitchi Capital.
Tamagotchi Plus Keitai and Akai[]
Chestnut Angel makes a cameo appearance on the Keitai Kaitsuu Tamagotchi Plus, as well as the Akai. If the player purchases a special tomb (worth 5000 Gotchi Points), has the Tamagotchi use it, and the Tamagotchi later dies, a pair of Chestnut Angels descend and carry the Tamagotchi away. The special grave and Chestnut Angel replace Obaketchi and the default tombstone on the death screen.
All Color Releases[]
Starting from the Tamagotchi Plus Color, while the special grave cannot be obtained and Obaketchi shows on the usual death screen, a pair of Chestnut Angels make a similar cameo appearance on the color Tamagotchi releases when the Tamagotchi character dies to take the Tamagotchi skyward. Additionally, if the First Aid icon is selecting during the first part of the death sequence to call an ambulance, after the Tamagotchi is taken to hospital, a Chestnut Angel will descend to drag or chase the Grim Gotchi away.
Tamagotchi Uni[]
Chestnut Angel is an NPC exclusive to the Angel Festival Tama Portal location on the Tamagotchi Uni. They can be seen in an animation at the Angel Square activity spot, sharing treats with the user's Tamagotchi and Ginjirotchi Angel, and serve as the player character in the location's minigame.
Raisable characters exclusive to Angel Festival have a unique death sequence. Instead of being taken away by the usual two Chestnut Angels upon death, four angels will take the Tamagotchi away instead.
They can also be seen together with Deviltchi as the special Tama Search character "Angel & Devil", able to be met either while at certain World Tamagotchi Tour events or by setting the user's Wi-Fi SSID as "FyKHSZlwQCzTpGuDHrJclhA2Kq9vYNdP".

Trivia[]
- Chestnut Angel was present in the 15th Anniversary Character Poll with updated artwork, presented as a possible female candidate.
- While most Angels' Japanese names break the traditional Tamagotchi naming convention by either ending with "ten" or "tenshi", Chesnut Angel is referred to as Kuritentchi (くりてんっち) rather than Kuriten in the Japanese webpage for the Angel Festival Tamaverse Ticket.
