I write supernatural fiction, and I often include angels and demons as characters. Of course none of us know how they actually look–if they even look like anything that can be perceived by the sense of sight, unless they choose to take a form we can see.

When writing, however, I have to stick to references my readers can visualize. It’s not an easy task.

Apparently this is an actual angel captured by NASA on film: youtube.com/watch?v=wn06pPPnG64 Maybe you can use that in your stories?

I think the last few verses 'shines light’on the nature of Gabriel during this event

Tobit 12:18 ‘as far as I (Gabriel) am concerned, when I was with you, my presence was not by any decision of mine, but by the will of God’ explains how God willed the Angel’s spirit to be in the same time-space as Tobit, all things are possible with God

Also 12:19 ‘you saw me (the angel) eating’, but that was appearance no more. It was an ‘appearance’ not reality ie not a body as they thought they saw. Gabriel could also have said ‘you saw me walking with Tobit’, as an experience, ie things us humans do together.

The actual form of Gabriel we are taught is spirit, and there is nothing to contradict this teaching here.

Interestingly the book of Tobit ends with a question, ‘had not an angel appreeared to them?’, after Gabriel’s own explaination they are left in an awe notably comprehending what they had ‘experienced or saw’.
