A bright ring or circle of light typically hovering above or traditionally behind the head that either symbolizes purity or to denote that the character is an angel, a saint, or dead. This tag applies to all kinds of halos which hover over one's head, not just those that are considered traditional - for such halos only, see traditional halo.
Not to be confused with the optical phenomenon caused by ice crystals in the atmosphere surrounding the sun or moon, forming a halo, or halo-like artifacts of light caused by bright light sources interacting with the camera lens. The latter is a lens flare.
For the video game franchise, see Halo (series)
