Foxy
Foxy is a popular #Freak who is known for her deep understanding of how other people think, feel and experience life. She is a social animal and is treated very much like the town pet in #CloudNine.
# Behavior
- Soft spoken and timid when alone, but becomes more outgoing the more people she is around
- Tends to freeze up and stay silent whenever she's afraid
# Abilities
Foxy's most powerful and concerning ability is #MindModel, which simulates a temporary exact clone of a situation, including people, plays them out with precision - to fully explore what could happen, what can't happen, and what definitely will happen, all in the span of a second. This is a result of the extreme depth in which she understands perception itself. It unfortunately also makes her anxious, because she constantly faces the true terror of reality's endless complexity, thoughts that are not shared, uncertainties that are not usually accounted for. #MindModel is different from #MindRead, which is a direct invasion of someone's soul to listen in on their intent. Unlike #MindRead, a #MindModel can be incorrect if its fed enough convincing false information.
She doesn't cast this intentionally; she wishes she could stop nearly perfectly predicting other people's thought process, but this spell is cast without control (#AutoCast). From her point of view, she has a full mental model of all the possibilities of what someone could mean when they say something, what someone could be feeling, and when enough information is provided, exactly what someone must be feeling, thinking or planning. This combined with Foxy's immense endurance of mind makes for an anxious, but extremely high performing life where things just go her way and she's surrounded by an overwhelming amount of love and support.
This special ability of hers does come with other advantages as well. This makes her extremely competent as an architect of systems, even though she feels weird being treated like an expert and rarely wants the responsibility unless someone is there to calm her down.
# Reputation
- #CloudNine - Extremely positive. Treated like the town pet.
- #Online - Lurking under an anonymous identity. She tried being online for a few months but was quickly overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people, and although she encountered plenty of good people, she also encountered too many people who had toxic behavior, and this spooked her into leaving the internet for good and focusing on the few #Freaks she meets in person instead.
# Motives
- She hopes to one day find inner peace and to find a way to stop her cursed #AutoCast of #MindModel, so that she may live a worry-free lifestyle.
- She loves intimacy with her heart and soul - making new close friends and enjoying time with existing close friends is something that makes her deeply happy with life.
# Friendship
Making friends with Foxy is very easy - she takes interest in new people and learns about them. She always seems to have something to talk about, always interested in what others want to talk about, just because it comes naturally to her.
The only care that must be taken is that she picks up on signs of distrust or discomfort and that makes her panic and freeze up. This makes Foxy not a good match for people who have significant trust issues, who may see her proactive friendliness as creepy or disingenuous. Phrases like "Why are you asking that?" from a place of suspicion are sure to cause her to withdraw.
The best language of friendship with Foxy is the language of soothing. She worries a lot, and having a rock to lean on is something that means a lot to her.
