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. ;;

1. Is your character religiously affiliated - a nun, priest, exorcist, shaman, etc. or supernatural in nature? She's a ghost (youkai, supernatural creature) who lives with Buddhists but isn't religious herself??
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? Iiiii think it's safe to assume she does. Basics, at the very least.
2. Are you willing for Varvara to know certain facts about your character that she has no reason to know? Hell yeah
2b. If yes, what? Used to be really angry and capsize ships/drown people all the time, given some sort of salvation by a Buddhist nun, spent a few hundred years sealed underground by humans, still kinda angry and is.... kinda trying to tone down the homicidal thing? And she can't remember her human surname; Murasa is what people called her while she was sinking ships all the time.
3. Are you willing for Varvara to know things about what your character is/has been doing without being present for them? Yah.
4. Would you be willing for Varvara to appear to your character while all others in the area remain oblivious to her? Go for it.
