Joys are made of spiritual energy, they are free form. They can change because they are free form. I really really really doubt that those who follow the Laguna faith even remotely know what they angels look like except for maybe Applaud. There's also nothing saying that they have even heard of Rodin.

If they did then Antonio Redgrave probably would have made a remark about Rodin, Antonio was delving deep with the history and lore surrounding the Laguna faith and the Ithavoll Group; someone probably would have spoken of a fallen angel or would have spoken about Rodin.

Rodin was the most human-esque but that doesn't necessarily mean anything (Joy was also humanesque). Sapientia was narsissistic. Fortitudo was humble for the most part, he apologized for many things. Temperantia was impatient. Iustitia was the only one that didn't really show much emotion other than his admiration for Bayonetta's power and his willingness to be a sacrifice.

I also doubt that the Virtues help someone in person. More they are simply a meaning. A representation. Their job is mainly in service towards Juby.
