What They Know

• Aspects: Wander (teleports toward Named and auto-teleports from danger), Narrate (knowledge of all stories on Calernia — significantly crippled after Catherine stole fragments), Guide (direct interference with events in Creation)
• Effectively immortal — dies and reappears as a different person with the same consciousness. Has worn countless Names and bodies across millennia
• Can only exist while actively interacting with a Story or Named — she cannot rest, cannot stop, cannot exist outside the narrative
• True identity: Yara of Nowhere — the oldest non-divine entity on Calernia
• Can draw anyone into a lethal story through conversation alone — Catherine nearly died three times in one short chat with her
