Prue's a Dreamer who has lived her whole life in Nevers. She's a studied historian(PhD) and begain her employment with the Healey National Museum even before she had completed her education. She has an intense fascination with the past and delights in finding hints and traces of Lucid activity hidden deep within historical narratives. She always knew about the existence of Lucids but it wasn't until late adolescence, when she met and became close friends with Tessa Silva, that she understood the intricacies of Lucid abilities as well as her own vulnerabilities to them as an observing Dreamer. Her fascination for Lucid illusions runs as deeply as her love for history, and so her position within the Inner City of Nevers suits her better than anything she could have hoped for.

There are much greater vulnerabilities that hang over Prudence's head than Lucid illusions...things that she properly fears. Past abuses inflicted upon her by poor judgement of character and dubious taste in romantic partners has instilled a litany of anxiety disorders. Large crowds, loud noises, and yelling masculine voices have, on several occasions, brought her to her knees in the form of poorly timed panic attacks. Navigating her morning commute to work is always her greatest, most draining day-to-day hurdle.

Ongoing Story

When the west wing of the museum went up in flames long after the doors had closed for the evening, Prudence had a sense that she'd be dragged into it somehow. Such trouble always has a way of finding her. And, she was correct. Mae Bellamy was subsequently placed under Prue's supervision while she carried out her generously endowed number of community service hours as a way of "paying off" the damages caused by the event. Corralling Mae to stay on task came with its own challenges, but perhaps the greatest challenge that the dubious youth brought into Prue's life was Thomas Bellamy. Everything about that man causes her ears to burn and her sentences to run on. Perhaps she'd have to do something about that... Mae certainly seems keen to work with her on it.

Personality

Prue is shy, soft spoken, and bookish. However, she's fiercely loyal to her values and while she might not raise her voice about issues that concern her, she will certainly find other ways to ensure her concerns do not go unrecognized or untended. She's a studious lass, with a love for the 'old fashioned'. She's a cautious optimistic who has a penchant for attracting troubling circumstances and manipulative "friends".

Sleepers, Dreamers, and Lucids (oh my!)

In this world, there are three kinds of people. Sleepers are those who preceive the world as it is intended to be seen. They see nothing peculiar, nothing "out of the ordinary". Dreamers, on the other hand, see a great deal more. They are often dismissed as having an "overactive imagination" at best, or as "crazy" and "paranoid" at worst. They see things for which there is no "real world" explaination...and often try to find an explaination themselves. "Ghosts", "aliens", "demons" and some wide assortment of conspiracy theories are often the work of a dreamer trying to make sense of the largely unpreceived world around them. What they don't know is that these inexplicable, almost tangible distortions of reality are the work of Lucids.

Lucids make up a small fraction of the human population. They are innately capable of producing convincing illustions, distorting the world around them to their liking. For the most part, these illusions, while convincing, have no effect on the physical world. There are...exceptions...rare exceptions. The extent of physical manefestations seems to be very limited and to a Sleeper observer, may appear as small telekentic feats. You know the sort; bending a spoon, lighting a candle, filling the air with hair-raising static... little more than that. To a Dreamer (as well as to fellow Lucids), the illusions produced by a Lucid can appear so convincingly real that, even though it cannot cause physical harm, it can still pose as a significant psychological and emotional threat. And so, in cities like Nevers where Lucids tend to congregate, a secret governing system is established between them. Exceptionally potent Lucids are assigned roles as Matriarchs and Patriarchs of allocated districts and are granted administrative powers over a localized infastructure designed to police the activities of the Lucids living under their jurisdiction.

All Lucids manifest a perminant, illusionary extention of themselves. These are called Avatars, and will often take on a form that is psychologically significant to its respective Lucid. When a Lucid becomes a Matriarch or Patriarch, it is expected that they "extend" their Avatar to blanket their district. The result being that every district under the watch of a Matriarch or Patriarch will have an appearance unique to the style of its specific overseer.

Prue's Point of View

Prudence never believed in the paranormal growing up. All the strangeness she saw must have had logical explainations to them. It wasn't until she met Tess that she learned about Lucids, proper.(to be completed later)
