Liana

Trivia

Despite her appearance and demeanour suggesting morbid interests, she reads frequently on various topics for her own benefit concerning work; not all of them solemn.

That said, she keeps bones at times, which are occasionally 'animated' by her and allowed to roam minutely.

Smoke diffusers are crafted and placed occasionally around wooded or vacant areas. Many of these are used as nondescript markers for travel purposes by various individuals, and are integrated with arcane cryptography.

Resulting smoke forms specific shapes and may remain as long as the canister or base diffuser does, the fumes not moving beyond those shapes even with interfering wind. Certain individuals pivy to this turn that over after a relative duration to dissipate the effect, the nontoxic smoke then vanishing.

Buys, makes, and uses clips that occasionally are altered to 'speak' certain phrases in response to reverberations in the air, or audible stimuli. Several of these are variously worn by her on occasion. The number on her person tends to fluctuate depending on the amount she needs to use at a given time.

Typically, not ornate in direction, instead preferring utility over reputation. Initial extrinsicism may partly be reason for this decision, but the difference in surroundings have not prompted change in decision otherwise.

Dark clothing is often frequented to that degree regardless of the season, the reason for this potentially various. Withdrawn, but not averse to interaction, a stoic and steadfast demeanour characterises her person.

Accessories are often left at important locations and may be retrieved later. Despite the cost, she may leave certain clips around random locations in order to confuse or divert persons she does not want to interact with.

Similarly, she keeps one around her doorstep when away from her residence occasionally, typically to state when she might return.

Occasionally hikes to ghost towns nearby the province in order to practice craft without complication, or otherwise test related items.

Sometimes meets Eos on these meanders, who seems to occasion relevant locations in order to not break anything important with her own ventures.

Does not have an online presence, alike to Celeste and Asteria, whom she interacts with on occasion. Instead, a local focus is typical, her products not advertised or shipped as theirs are frequently. She finds that easier, not having consistent support as they do.

An often-literary individual in habit, she often seems to text other individuals with prose and other short-hand wording. When included in matters, appears friendlier to a degree, although this does not differ by far when retaining agency alone.

Has written poetry, usually melancholy in tone. She finds that reflective on a conscious and emotional level.

Although not a newcomer to relevant scenes, she has only recently embraced the idea of arcane practices. She can be considered adept at it regardless.

Somewhat introverted, but does not find socialisation tiring by far.

Frequently visits osteria and trattoria with one or more individuals, which often varies between the same persons, and often talks about written works, events or distant occurrences during those time frames.

Appears to have a sense of organisation with her responsibilities, often putting effort into relevant patterns.

Had a normal upbringing in regards to schooling and leisure. Although she was not unaware of going-ons, having relative freedom caused interest in attempting beyond what she knew.

Does not have college certification and does not believe she needs that.

Does not like sea and ocean settings, the ebb of the waves unnerving her. This source of this unease is uncertain to her, but likely correlates to prior attempts at swimming.

Has no allergies as far as she is aware. That does not mean she actively smells grass and flowers; aside from when hiking.

Works part time as a shop assistant at an unrelated and undisclosed bookstore, the monetary aspects to that necessary and not overlooked.

Has an interest in archaic artwork and architecture, often finding the styles and details present unique. Sometimes visits museums to see relevant pieces.

Archaic designs are occasionally inspiration for her own craft. Resulting work involves attempted unique directions.

Smoke, smog, and vapour are utilised in a manner that can be considered either capnomancy or libanomancy. To gain insight into surrounding factors beyond inherent awareness, communication with other powers is at times yet a focus. The fumes from incense, candles, or other sources are influenced by such forces evidently.

It is infrequent that such occurrences are evident, with the prevalence of other factors. Yet there have been durations where the use of a cigarette or other fumigatory has formed images from the resulting streams.

These do not appear to be disregarded as a factor, and the precedent that incense typically drives away negative forces brings further depth.

To that end, she has had foresight on various occurrences, activity at times stemmed before it can occur or become worse.

There are downsides to this however. Perceptions of past and future events are often evident to her when actively working. These scenes are often alternatingly mundane and gory. She cannot avert worse visions, insight often random, which can mean need for fortitude and may correspond to her more self-reflective direction.

Events that evidently took place irrelevantly are often disregarded or 'shifted past' within her conscious field. That still can mean flinching occasionally if worse is apparent.

Has stated that she has not seen her own death, but the validity of that is dubious.

Other means of communication with relevant factors evidently are possible, although this is not often attempted through capacity already ambiently present.

As planes of existence vary along a myriad axis, it is not unreasonable to believe that she and related practitioners are looking into other realities on a minute scale; often directly, and at other times through the word of ens that pass along those lines.

There is not always a basis for complete trust evidently, but enough through necessity that risks are regardless considered.

Related to this is the frequent use of necromancy, or reanimation of dead matter. The remains of various species are repurposed through arcane means.

It is not beyond rhetoric to assume that such structures are again inhabited by the individual that passed, if not another consciousness that fulfills the same role.

The scope of awareness per invocated individual is dubious, albeit that a degree of communication appears to exist between that consciousness and her own self.

There may not be agreement to resulting advice, although there is enough logic to assume that at least part of related discourse is valid to a situation.

There are gods and spirits, in colloquial terms, nearly everywhere. Directing one to attach itself to a physical frame is not beyond reason either.

How this is managed is technically uncertain, albeit it is assumed that a conduit exists that adheres the consciousness to the skeletal form. If a consciousness is dismissed or is no longer able to hold onto that structure, inertia may be again attributed to the remains in question.

Once dormancy is again achieved, what is left behind is carefully collected and stored in a nondescript location.

As this is not always possible, with decay and breakage having relevance on a physical level, there is occasional need to replace those structures.

This is something that does not take too much time out of her schedule, although a factor that can vary per attempted basis.
