Physical affection: Go for it!

Injuries : Within reason! If you're not sure, check in first.
Death: I'm not averse, but this kind of thing definitely needs to be talked about first.
Telepathy and mind-reading: I mean go for it but you will get a headache it's very magically chaotic in here
Content warnings and sensitive subjects related to the character: Mind control/memory manipulation and ritual sacrifice. (She has also witnessed child abuse/the outcome of CSA in the past. She is never going to bring this up, so this would be some weird extenuating circumstance and I will warn ahead of time.)
Content warnings and sensitive subjects this character won't be involved in: As said above, would prefer to avoid suicide-related stuff. Otherwise, while I'm more than happy with physical affection and romance and fade-to-blacks, I won't be writing any smut. (No problem with it, just no desire to write it.)

Confidants
Katie is incredibly easy to talk to. This is a magical race-wide effect; think of her as a bottle of fine brandy to loosen people's lips. People won't exactly come forth and spill their rare secrets, but their every day thoughts, things they just want to get off their chest, or even a secret they wish they didn't have to keep and have been bursting to tell someone? She's right there. People are certainly welcome to blink and go "why am I talking so much?" Here in Folkmore, assume this effect has been dampened right down and thus only select people might be affected (i.e. if you would have fun having your character offer up info they normally wouldn't, please feel free to take advantage of this! Otherwise, business as usual.)
Echoes
Katie can see/hear the echoes of people's obsessions, traumas, their most fiercely imaginative constructs. These are rare, except for children, who are still young enough to Believe Everything and may well have an imaginary friend following them around, or an echo of their favourite stuffed toy that they treat as if it's alive.
For adults... these can be quite abstract, but if your character is obsessed with something, Katie might see hints of it. It might manifest as an echo of something like the sound of dripping blood, or the flicker of the face of someone deeply missed, or the bars of a song that never leaves the mind. Etc etc. Usually it's just hints. A person who's deeply terrified of water might just have little trickles of water flooding around their feet sometimes. Sometimes it can be much, much worse: as an example, Sam Winchester, who spent months hallucinating the devil and interacting him with as a real character, would absolutely have a fully fledged Lucifer echo following him around. (It's not all bad. It could be a loved one kind of looking out for you, etc.)
These are flavour text for the most part, but echoes can be dangerous and plotted with, because Katie can see them and interact with them as if they are real. And if she enchants someone, they become real for that person as well.
If you would like to play with this aspect, feel free to respond below and we can work out what your echoes might be. <3
