about vanessa

[darkurges]

Poised, mysterious, and utterly composed, Vanessa is a seductive and formidable beauty full of secrets and danger. She is keenly observant - clairvoyant even - as well as an expert medium, and has lent her talents to Sir Malcolm in his search for his daughter, Vanessa's childhood friend Mina Murray. Her supernatural gifts are powerful and useful to those around her, but they are also a heavy burden. Her inner demons are very real to her and everyone around her, and they threaten to destroy her relationships, her sanity and her very life.

Appearance/Personality:

True to her personality, Vanessa primarily appears dressed in a stately, polished manner and maintains an air of refinement and inscrutability. When her inner Demon is in ascendence, however, she becomes much more instinctive and much less restrained, her behaviours seeming almost feral and animalistic.

Powers:

Abilities that Vanessa possesses when she is conscious:

Mediumship: The ability to communicate with spirits.
Empathy: The ability to sense the emotions of other people.
Clairvoyance: The ability to perceive information via the mind's eye.
Divination: The ability to intuit psychic insight into a situation, often via tarot cards.

When her demon side has control it is unclear exactly of what kind of powers she possesses. Telekinesis has been showcases so is mind-reading with her exposing facts about the people around her that she had no way of knowing unless she was there or has been reading their minds. The demon has also shown he is able to alter her reality and make her see visions or have her hallucinate or perhaps good at creating illusions.
