Varvara might looks sweet, but she's... actually an ageless demon, with powers that are the definition of godmodey. She can basically pluck facts out of the air about people and events, intuit things about them and know things that are going on that she has no reason or rational way of knowing. She can also appear to one single person in a room with no one else present seeing her. None of this is mind reading or manipulation - in the classical sense, she cannot read minds and has no psychic influence; she will never know what your character is thinking at any given moment, though the knowledge she gets herself will certainly let her guess.

There are exceptions to this! Supernatural beings will have more resistance to her, and priests/exorcists (the denomination does not matter) will be downright immune to much of her bullshit. They will be able to see her even she doesn't want them to and they will be much, much more difficult to generally get a handle on for her.

I will never do any of these things without a player's express permission and full knowledge of what Varvara will know and what she'll do with that knowledge. So, one catch all permissions post, let's go!

*Note: Anything she knows about your character can and will be used against them - likely nothing horrendous, but she is a troll. E.g. she may simply bring it up completely casually to freak them out.

Yeah, I know, it's long. I apologise. ;;

Character: Katou Keiko
Canon: Strike Witches (the Africa series to be exact, wiki page here. quick reference notes here.)

1. Is your character religiously affiliated - a nun, priest, exorcist, shaman, etc. or supernatural in nature? Yes. It's never really made clear how religious the Army "shrine maidens" are, though, so it's up to you how you want to handle that. She also is bonded to a fox with spiritual powers, which counts as supernatural, I guess?
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? Just of the trivia/common folklore sort.
2. Are you willing for Varvara to know certain facts about your character that she has no reason to know? Yes.
2b. If yes, what? Use the infopost above as and when needed! I can't really think of anything which is off-limits.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Yes.
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? Yes.

Character: Strength
Canon: Black★Rock Shooter (2012), app is here.

1. Is your character religiously affiliated - a nun, priest, exorcist, shaman, etc. or supernatural in nature? No.
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? No.
2. Are you willing for Varvara to know certain facts about your character that she has no reason to know? Tentatively, yes.
2b. If yes, what? The whole business with their respective humans involves other cast members as well, so I'll have to check with them if/when it ever comes up.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Yes.
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? It might be a shared aspect.

Character: Miki Sayaka Oktavia von Seckendorff
Canon: Puella Magi Madoka Magica, app is here.

1. Is your character religiously affiliated - a nun, priest, exorcist, shaman, etc. or supernatural in nature? Not religious. Is magical.
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? Yes. It's limited and almost entirely related to magical girl stuff + Madoka-verse witches.
2. Are you willing for Varvara to know certain facts about your character that she has no reason to know? Yes.
2b. If yes, what? Just about anything you can look up is fine. Again, events/issues common with cast members will be checked with them beforehand.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Yes.
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? Yes.
