Reese Alexander (StarryEyedSeer)

## Overview

Both kinds of Enchanter, essentially, specializing in information, tools, and people. They currently live with their two frequently-absent mentors in Erie, Pennsylvania.

## Appearance

Tall, lanky, and pale, with perpetual dark circles under their eyes. Their hair is short, curly, and currently dyed dark blue, and their face is glamoured to look more androgynous. Almost always wearing a slightly oversized olive green military jacket, a plain t-shirt, jeans, and black leather boots. Their nails are frequently painted black.

## Powers/Practice

Their Practice is mainly centered around forging, manipulating, and reading connections through Sympathy and Binding. Heavily information-focused, both in using information to forge and manipulate connections and in using connections to collect information. Their Item Crafting is centered around vision, Sight, and other senses to a lesser extent, and they favor glasses and other lenses as base items. They also make heavy use of their Sight to gather and keep track of information, to the point that they can no longer entirely turn it off.

### Sight

When they're viewed with the Sight, their eyes are heavily emphasized.

When their own Sight is active, the world turns sepia and all visual textures are replaced with that of parchment, with the exception of existing ink markings. Watery smudges of ink indicate things and people that are intentionally hidden, and things that are intentionally being used to hide something. Heavy concentrations of power are shown as heavy splashes of still-wet ink. These effects became much more prominent after they took their implement, and are easier to see up close than far away.

They see connections as strands of ink-soaked twine, affixed by brass pushpins.

### Equipment and Tricks

* Their implement, a magnifying glass, which enhances their Sight and makes it easier for them to find hidden things. When looking through its lens with their Sight active, they can see tracks left by people and Others in the form of inky footprints that last for a duration depending on the power and metaphysical weight of what left them. Can be attuned to a single connection to only show tracks left by a specific entity.
* A fountain pen that refills its ink cartridge when stored in a dark place and supplied with power, condensing the darkness into shadowy ink. Originally the personal item used in their Awakening.
* A crystal suncatcher powered by a lesser light elemental. Refracts light around the user when active, creating a mirage that makes them appear to be a few feet away from their actual location. Only works for about a minute before the elemental needs to be recharged.
* A spyglass that can be linked to a specific connection, making it much easier to perceive that connection with Sight while doing to opposite to all other connections.
* Elemental diagrams on their boots that enhance their running and jumping.
* A circular metal pendant engraved with diagrams that allow them to conveniently feed power into the diagrams on their boots.
* Dark Fall glamour, grown from a sample provided by SilverWolf.
* A nonmagical charm bracelet, meant for holding other useful equipment glamoured into small charms.
* Their canine teeth are glamoured to be sharper than normal. More useful for emergency blood-drawing than actually biting people.
* A throwing knife, enchanted to return to the wielder's hand after being thrown.
* A light switch that, when pressed against a container of food and toggled, changes the flavor of the food inside to its "opposite" flavor.

## History
