Heh, that's a toughie. We could start by listing our own traits that we think define our angelic nature, and compare notes with what is common.
Traits:
bright aura
natural councellor/helper/listener
few lasting friendships
generally happy/cheerful
very insightful of situations and with people
enjoy/good with tarot cards
good/excellent intuition
I can't think of anything else right now, but I can always edit this later.

From the majority of kin I've met who identify as angelkin, the most common traits I've seen have been:
They're usually healers, helpers and/or teachers (or have the urge to help/heal/teach people even if they don't actually do it), they do seem to have bright auras or have a lot of energy that most people see as light/bright/white, a lot seem to feel the disconnection from where they belong to their current life a lot deeper than some of the other kin races/species. Quite a few angelics also seem to have wings to some degree or another, but that's not a rule, more a tendancy.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I've also noticed that a lot of angelics have a black and white perception of the world, that there's a "good" and an "evil" and no gray area in the middle. This seems to be quite common in the younger angelic individuals, so it might be a this-life cultural programming-type-thing. Because it's not as if the dualistic view of the world is uncommon in the modern western culture. There's also something, mildly negative I've seen and just recently seen in myself: can be quite judgemental, I've watched quite a few angelics be quite judgemental, not so much here, but on other communities, but that could also be a this life thing, I mean some people are just judgemental.
Me myself and I as a sort of angelic (I prefer Celestial, though I think the definition of words is just too subjective to really kick up a stink about):
1. Helper/Healer/Teacher, can't help myself, I'm desperately motivated to help and guide and heal, even those who have or would hurt me. I can't easily turn my back on someone who's hurting, it's like a fish trying to breath air for me with respect to me not caring about people, helping/caring feels as if it's in my nature, as natural as breathing - if that makes sense.
2. "Too much" energy, when I'm unshielded I can overwhelm people with my emotions and energy, when I'm unmasked I tend to have people stare at me for no apparent reason, have random crazy people on the street come up to me tell me their life stories, and then bug off. I've also been told by many people that my energy is very different, healing in some way, even to a point of people experiencing the release of pain when in the same room as I am... have no idea how that works, although I have done sneaky healings for some of my clients when I've felt the pain in them. From many quarters my energy has been described as a "torch", a "light" or a fire, and even the most unsensitive people have said they've felt something different about my energy when I open up for a reading.
3. Talent for learning magick and energy manipulation, if someone describes something they've done and it interests me, I can just feel it, and somehow learn how to do it through instinct (unfortunately I keep chickening out on the cool fun stuff like PK/TK, but for example one day I needed to be isolated spiritually from a psychically abusive partner, and I just *knew* how to cast a circle, then later found out what it meant in the context of witchcraft).
4. The deepest most constant and consistant feeling of being kin for me is this deep feeling of not belonging, of being alien to this environment, and it's deepened the more I've learnt about my past lives and original state of being. So a real deep sense of homesickness or loss.

A lot of what you said hits home Nanara, heh. A lot of it. It's so hard to determine what is just a personality of one, or a trait of many, of course, but I think you've nailed down some good ones, for sure.
I'm sure I might have more to say on this when I'm awake and not so upset about unrelated issues, heh.

*accepts* Heh, thanks.
I'm slightly more awake, now.
I agree with the judgmental part of it. I at first said to myself that no, that part wasn't true. But, as I looked into myself a little more, I saw that yes, it was. I do make quick judgments of people, though I tend to keep the harsh ones to myself. I don't stop with that judgment, though. I do watch and learn and gather more information, and if I find that I was wrong, I'll take my initial "statement" back, and make a revised one. I feel guilty, even now, at the though of having done it, and sometimes while doing it, but... that's how it is, I guess, heh.
As for the healers/helpers/teachers, I agree... I want to be a teacher, heh. That's a fairly recent thing, and I'm fairly certain I'll stick with it. It's a dream, even if it will only ever be a dream.
I don't know about the too much energy part, though. I'm not particularly sensitive to it in a way that I can differentiate it from the way I normally feel, though I do pick up on people's emotions. It isn't like I feel them, though, it's just... I can see it, I just know. I would have to ask someone else who can see this, like visually or can feel it, what they feel or see for me. But, the life stories? Yeah, I get that, too.
Magical ability? I wish. Heh. Not sure I do anything, maybe subconsciously, but I don't know.
And the feeling of not belonging, yes. More and more lately, too. I feel detached from most things, just like I'm going through the motions and not sure what they are about. Not in a depressed I want to kill myself sort of way, but in the way a kitten might look at my computer and be like "... dude, wtf?"
And now, I am going to sit in a sort of senseless state and rot for awhile.
