PING SURVEY/PERMISSIONS
Goodness it's been a while since I've had to do one of these. Anyway, Kaiko gets some pretty specific pings that are not always easy for me as a player to work out, so if you plan on tagging her filling this out would be doing me a huge favor— particularly if you're not playing someone I can wiki or whatever!
If your character is a ghost or other kind of undead, artificial in some way (mechanical or biological. cyborgs also count), full of VENGEANCE or just unfairly wronged in general, bad at emotional honesty with themselves, or has a tragic backstory of the I HURT PEOPLE I LOOOOVED/shunned by the people around me type, let me know please! You don't have to go into detail; Kaiko is a baby so her ability to actually tell pings apart is next to nonexistent. They all just sort of strike her as "hey this person has something interesting going on!"
(If you want to go on for a while about what's up with your character anyway, though, I am not stopping you. I love juicy details, give them to me.)
ALTERNATELY: If your character has a history of murder or hurting other people for shitty reasons (enjoyment, making themselves feel powerful, etc.), particularly if it was tied up in other types of crime (theft, extortion, sexual assault, etc.), that is an entirely separate ping that will get her attention fast, though she won't necessarily do anything about it she isn't provoked. (Of course, if you would in fact like her to do something about it, give me a list of their crimes and we can work something out :)) Or, if you don't want her to noticing that your character has done unpleasant things, let me know! I don't want to ruin anybody's fun.
...I know this a lot of assorted fiddly stuff, so thank you!

SHORT STUFF: Elaine's highly spiritually sensitive and emotionally constipated and killed like 6 people for pretty much no reason
LONGER STUFF:
1. Before coming to forest (and for a long time while she was there) she perceived herself as a monster due to the popular opinion that she cursed her entire family by being born, which is held not only by most of society where she lives at large but also much of her family (except for her grandmother and mother, who spread the rumor, and her father who loves her anyway and refuses to dignify questions about it with a response. she gets support from exactly none of them.). She was never outright physically harmed but folks are typically not super comfortable with her due to that and tend to ignore her at best. Max social isolation. At worst she's been poisoned before and one of her uncles tried to convince her dad to drown her in a river before she got well enough to leave the house.
2. The purpose of this rumor was partially to ensure that she maintained relatively little ego and stayed easy to mold and manipulate so she could be sacrificed to a god as part of a church coup (which has larger meaning in the larger metaplot but that's unimportant, the important part is elaine has always been a huge tool on every level). The ideal here is that she's completely free of worldly desires so it perceives the body as empty and possesses it, but if that fails the person just gets eaten. Her death that led to her coming to AFD was the result of the second, despite her trusting in her mother (who convinced her of these things) and her god that she could do this and make up for the trouble she's caused her family and make her friend happy and also be happy herself through a marriage with that god. But nope, she fucked up and died alone, and her mother moved on to another child because she wasn't ever all that special to begin with.
3. In combination of 1 and 2 Vanilla Elaine is literally Avenger Elaine so that's where all the anger over these things got repressed off to.
IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS JUST LMK

anyway if she's spiritually sensitive I dunno how much she'd pick up from Kaiko but she's basically Lilith if Lilith had turned into a really pissed off ghost for a while instead of going to forest so. she pings of incredibly nasty powerful onryou and probably feels similar to Lilith if Elaine got that kind of ping? shrug shrug shrug
