❣️ Physical Contact:
Yes, Nina's a full-contact individual. If she doesn't like it, she'll take steps, but if it comes up, go for it.
❣️ Mental Contact:
She has some resistance to being controlled due to her abilities, but mental contact itself - go for it.
❣️ Fighting/Injury:
With plotting, sure!
❣️ Death: Nah.
❣️ Kissing/Hugging: Nina's very physically affectionate with her friends, so if you're in that category - go for it. If not, beware!
❣️ Abilities: Nina is a Grisha, a heartrender and a tailor. She also has training as a spy and a soldier and is multilingual.
❣️ Canon Point:
Just at the end of the Shadow and Bone show (notably, before she has to make a Certain Choice, although for memes and whatnot we could go to the end of the show, just lmk), with some influence from the book.
❣️ Shipping Prefs:
Development; Matthias Helvar - I am all about the slow burn

I prefer FTB.

💞 BACKTAGGING: Absolutely, I'll do my best. We all live in the real world. If I drop a tag that you're interested in continuing with me, please just drop me a line!
💞 FOURTHWALLING: It's not really something I'm interested in playing out, but I don't mind if it really comes up.
💞 Off Limits : Nina's seen a lot of bad and scary stuff, but I'd prefer a head's up for sexual abuse and extreme gore.

💓 Permissions

As a Heartrender, Nina can read emotions (via heartbeat) and also influence emotions. She has other abilities that go with this, but these are the ones that are the most iffy to play out.

💘 FIRST THING: Is it cool if Nina can get a read on your character's emotions?
💘 SECOND THING: Is it cool if Nina manipulates your character's emotions if it comes up?
💘 THIRD THING: If you'd like to opt out of interaction with Nina, just lmk here.

wow guess he's staying hERE then

what a hARDSHIP. such torment. woe, etc.

(icon relevant)

💘 FIRST THING: Totally, this works perfectly for me! I'd love it if Varric could very slowly figure out that she can read his emotions/heartrate, but that'd be a thing to discuss and only do slowly.
💘 SECOND THING: Also cool! Varric's pretty emotionally in touch with himself and might figure something out if his emotions move too drastically too often around her, but again, we can discuss that!
💘 THIRD THING: NO NEVER

💘 FIRST THING: Absolutely! Most of the time he's an open book so it's fairly easy to read on his face unless he's just really determined to not show something, but that usually involves extremely personal subjects.
💘 SECOND THING: Totally! But if he realizes she's doing it, I can't guarantee he'll be happy about it.
💘 THIRD THING: Never

💘 FIRST THING: Yes, this is cool - I'll always include in narrative if Sam's being duplicitous, trying to hide something, being cagey, or when he's being genuine, so you can always pull from that. if you want, feel free to have Nina additionally figure out that whenever he's up in the air, flying around, he's incredibly, deeply, profoundly happy, and she can also absolutely infer over time that sometimes he looks a lot more happy, open and relaxed than he actually feels, that he's as a rule considerably more relaxed when around his cast mates, and that he's 100% running himself ragged and pushing himself hard.
💘 SECOND THING: Let's talk about: So Sam wouldn't be cool with it under normal circumstances (but he can't prevent it,either). However, I'd love for this to come up sometimes when he has a ptsd related nightmare or something. He'd probably be grateful to have the after effects soothed away, and he knows someone whose nightmares prove a struggle for his sleep, soooooo that might lead to interesting CR options down the line. So if that's something you'D be interested in threading out, lemme know :3
💘 THIRD THING: no opt-out, she's being adopted

First Thing -- absolutely, that's something we can work with. With physical contact, her senses of a person are heightened, so if he's being all cheerful and then like, touches her shoulder or something but is actually feeling D8, she'd immediately cue into that. We can definitely play around with the heartbeat while flying thing too, because the first time she senses a heartbeat above her head Nina is going to Freak Out, What.
Second Thing - Yeah, Nina actively tries to avoid doing this to people that she isn't just going to burn, so Sam's already off the list for casual emotion manipulation - as are most people in the camp. If it comes up otherwise, we will definitely talk about it! And ooooh, I agree - that'd be VERY interesting to play out using her abilities to help people. In the books, that's how she makes her living while spoiler spoiler spoiler, so yes, DEFINITELY interested in doing some stuff like that down the line!
Third thing - So's he. XD Good thing he has big brother practice, Nina will doubtless be *awful*.

Aaaahhhh loving it. He definitely needs more people who realize that he's really good at seeming open without actually opening up, and that he keeps a lot of his pain very internalized and carefully concealed. Sam's a god at code-switching xD

I like the idea of threading that out once they've gotten to know each other a bit better. Sam's unlikely to accept the help *or* want to extend it to Bucky until he's built up some trust with Nina, but I'd *definitely* love to build towards it :3

💘 FIRST THING: Yeah, sure! Mops' physiology is different and she has really thick blood, like syrup, so her heart rate might be slower or faster, but her AI monitors it and can extrapolate a lot about what she's thinking or feeling based on that. Nina might need to take a moment and adjust but I'm cool with it.

Mops tends to present as more put-together than she is. She's a little bit awed and insecure about being surrounded by "real humans", who by and large are smarter than the people she's used to, and also deeply concerned for them since they're also much more fragile and can be troublesome.

💘 SECOND THING: It's fine! Mops has a strong grasp on her own interiority and is extremely good at reading others (in a completely mundane way), so it's not unlikely that she'd notice, but how she'd react is very dependent on a lot of factors.
