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? Half-ghost, with a strong sense of will, so I'd say that, hey, Danny sometimes falls for the same trick more than once, but if he pushes hard enough, he has a strong resistance. Though no out-right immunity.
1b. Does your character have knowledge and experience in occult matters? Yes! But really only things Danny learns on the fly/what his friends send him for research.
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? This is where it might get a bit tricky, as I'd like to keep Danny's ghost schtick separate from his "normal" for at least a while, so it depends on whom Varvara is faced with. The link to Danny's canon is basically for you to go ahead and pick and choose from, with the exception of too much having to deal with his ghostly abilities/going-ons until there's more CR/plot relevance. the occasional is fine, though!
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? Sure!
