steelfeatheredAs a Stormwing, if a mortal nearby is experiencing fear, sorrow, anger etc, Hisako can ambiently consume it and is strengthened. In canon other Immortals and also gods are excluded, but what "immortal" and "god" means in this context is distinct, and it's not clear if they only feed on humans or if animals count too. Let's skirt that issue and just go case by case! Do you want your character's suffering perceived and fed upon?
Hisako can't read minds, but this can give her a bit of insight into the person, what their character is like and what they're going through - it's very different to jumpscare someone confident and someone flinchy. There are no effects one way or another on the person experiencing the suffering, she's not making it better or worse. Canonically people can't even tell it's happening but if you want your character to pick up on her presence, I'm down with that.
It's said that Stormwings "drink" fear etc so might as well get fun with it. If you wanna suggest any synesthetic aspects like flavor or texture, go right ahead! Does what a character feels come with a toothsome teriyaki tang? Are there topnotes of damp earth and peppercorn? Is it like picking blackberries and getting scratched by the thorns?
And if you'd prefer she got little to nothing from your character, whether that's some property inherent to them, psychic shields, or even if they're a perfectly ordinary human and you just don't want it, please tell me.

Date: 2026-01-07 04:06 pm (UTC)INSIGHTS OR TENDENCIES: Prickly, but surprisingly insightful. Also prone to violence.
TASTING NOTES: Prickly, like eating something you're allergic to. Surprisingly bold flavor, despite its initial hesitant flavor.
