long dusty blonde hair. Green eyes- but drawing them with red is a good way to symbolize when they’re not all there

cryptic and awkward. their movements and speech patterns and smile all feel unnatural and a bit inhuman. They don’t really know how to smile “normally,” and they’re prone to paranoia.

Almost always wears layers, usually in neutral colors. Unless there’s a job to do that might get messy, in which case they prefer something simple and sleeveless.

they speak calmly, even softly. but the actual words rarely are so pleasant. they will look into your soul (metaphorically) to figure out what eats at you, and call you out on it directly. This analysis is aided by the ability to sense if a person is carrying baggage in the form of secrets or grief or general uncertainty. From there it’s just a matter of guessing what.

But if they get too far into their *own* head, they can question the reality around them, which can actually warp said reality, making things worse. walls rust and barbed wire begins to grow like vines, creeping along surfaces but also along their body.

Even at their best, there's always some around their neck, gently digging in.

They're completely willing to do bad things if they believe the reason is justified. This usually involves taunting or hurting others. After all, sometimes, people need to suffer to find their way in life again. While seeking to punish others, they sometimes find control of their powers, warping the world nearby in their favor or bringing wire out of the ground to trap victims.

But again, it comes out of their twisted idea of morality. They do *mean* well, and carry genuine sympathy for a majority of the people they meet.
