TLV Nerfs: Clairvoyance is wobbly and imprecise. 'Knowing' through touch needs your opt-in.
Katie is a psychic/clairvoyant. She just 'knows' and 'sees' things. She seems to require a person or a related item to focus her visions. Her best visions come from physical contact with someone. Revelations have also been known to come to her in symbolic dreams.
Some future events she can describe directly: who you will marry, how many children, etc. A lot of the information mentioned in her advertisements are part of the present, no future-looking required: where someone is, how much money they have, etc. In these straightforward instances, she keeps her consciousness and goes about her business.
Sometimes, she goes into a trance where she is speaking without her own awareness. These predictions are much more cryptic and imprecise, but also certain to come true. This seems to happen around monumentous moments in fate. For example, her intertwined fate with Philomela and her own death.
She does not directly 'read minds' like a telepath. But she will get context off someone that will make her clairvoyance more precise.
She pretends to do things like reading coffee grounds or palmistry for the theater of it, but she's faking. She will also give fake fortunes if she feels like it. Because she can.
Katie is also a violent murderer.
•CONTACT METHOD: PM or itsabee @ discord
•THREAD-JACKING: Fine, unless marked private.
•FOURTH WALLING / CANON PUNCTURE: The Bloody Benders are an inspiration for this fictionalized penny dreadful. I'd be fine with the comparison. I can't even imagine how else you'd manage this 4th wall.
•BACKTAGGING: Yes
•AVOIDED TOPICS:
•PREFERRED GENDER PRONOUN: They/them
IC CHARACTERISTICS:
•CURRENT CANON POINT: End of book, bloody messy death.
•PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Katie is considered a dark-haired beauty. She is 18 years old and the average height for 1870. (Aka kinda short by modern standards.)
•DEMEANOR: Katie is found to be very off-putting by most people, immediately. She stares too much and too deeply. She is much too forward in her bearing: she respects and fears no one. She doesn't care about unspoken social rules unless it benefits her.
•ABILITIES: Please see my big text above.
•MEDICAL INFORMATION: Nothing of note.
•CABIN INFORMATION: Shabby Victorian parlor and matching door.
•OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS: Not as such. But she will take offense for the excuse to act out and get violent.
IC PERMISSIONS:
•MENTAL: Katie has no ability to protect herself from other mental abilities. Someone should teach her.
•MIMICRY: Yes, just let me know.
•VIOLENCE: Yes, just let me know.
•MAGIC: Yes, just let me know.
•DEBATE: Yooou can try, Katie is not debate savvy and very uneducated.
•OTHER / NOTES: --

•AVOIDED TOPICS:
TL;DR I don't like NPCing bigots. Text does not trigger or squick me, but I don't find it enjoyable to engage with external racism and homophobia (/other forms of hate). If it's appropriate to the setting, I'd prefer it be kept to an absolute minimum and then to move on. I mind it less when it's an internalized thing a character is dealing with.
