aspecialsnowflakeVarvara 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. ;;

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? To a degree, yes. As part of the Doctor, he's dealt with demons and the like before.
2. Are you willing for Varvara to know certain facts about your character that she has no reason to know? To a degree, yes.
2b. If yes, what? Because of the full extent of Doctor Who and that I'd need to clear some of the things with the Doctor's player, that is something she and I would have to talk about first.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Yep
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? Yep
Character: Albert Wesker
Canon: Wesker's EV App with canon links and info
1. Is your character religiously affiliated - a nun, priest, exorcist, shaman, etc. or supernatural in nature? Nope.
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? No. Wesker is a man of pure science.
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? Very little is fully off limits with Wesker. He will ignore or deny it for the most part. There is a chance he would simply not care.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Because so much of Wesker depends on his planning, I'm going to ask that she not. It can take me a week or upwards of months to build something for him that she could blow with a few choice words. Should she want to talk to him personally about them without others about, I'm for that.
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? Yep

Also, people who want power like Wesker wants power are hilarious to her. (Also better than TV - especially 40s Russian TV)
If she were to pick up on anything in game, chances are she'll be more entertained by not telling anyone at all, haha. But yeah, I'll definitely keep her out of his business in that regard.
