After waking from a coma, a young girl with Amnesia searches for clues to her past while battling demonic creatures who stand in the way of her discovering her destiny.

Richiev:

I like where you're going with the internal journey; she did the right thing -- for the wrong reason. She fulfilling the her job description, nothing more.

But I don't think you need to use flashbacks: just re-create the same subjective problem in her post-amnesiac state-of-mind That is, she has a 2nd chance to learn what she didn't learn earlier, to help with a heart (metaphorically speaking). Perhaps her failure to give a "divine damn" was why her antagonist was able to betray and defeat her earlier.

And,now, in her post-amnesiac situation, she initially recapitulates her earlier failure-flaw. But this time, finally, thanks to the influence of her sidekick she learns to do the right thing for the right reason. When her sidekick's life is at stake: she saves the sidekick character physically; the sidekick character saves her subjectively-spiritually.

fwiw.

Good point dpg

Maybe when she was an Angel champion she was battling demons because it was her job but didn't really care much for humans. She was just battling evil because it was evil.

When she gets amnesia and lives among the humans she gets a new perspective. That would be the internal journey of the character.

(Of course that would involve flashbacks which I am not a fan of)

P.S. After all, in all the super-hero franchises, the protagonists are SUPER characters because of their powers and HEROES because of how they USE them -- to rescue and help stake characters.

>>There will be a human sidekick that observes her journey of self discovery.

Only observe? I suggest the sidekick should be more than just an observer. Said human is or becomes a stake character. IOW: the protagonist must win the battle not only for herself but to save someone else near and dear, a stake character.

After all, what are all these powers for? Just to show off? Just to use for own self-aggrandizement? Angels, are by definition, celestial agents that help and protect -- the good ones, anyway. So it would be more dramatically satisfying if she MUST prevail in the supernatural, celestial dimension in order to fulfill her true nature and destiny in the long run. In the immediate context of the story, that means rescuing a stake character who is in mortal peril in the mundane world.

fwiw.

How about this one:
-----
"After being attacked by demons, a teenage amnesic must discover who or what she is if she's to defeat the evil horde that has targeted her."
-----
I now realize the inciting incident isn't when she wakes from her coma but when she's attacked by demons and discover's she may not be entirely human.

My version: "A girl wakes from a coma and realizes she has amnesia; after escaping the hospital to go in search of her past, she finds that when demons REALLY want to keep you from your destiny, they can hide out almost anywhere..."
