Character from Pale by Wildbow
A practitioner who survived an awareness that causes severe mental breakdown — practicing incarnate methods with omens and curses while managing the psychological cost of knowing too much.
Nicolette survived becoming aware of something that typically destroys minds — the series doesn't specify what, but the aftermath is visible in everything she does. Her incarnate practice methods work through omens and curses, connecting to fundamental forces rather than manipulating specific Others or elements. This practice style suits someone who has already touched something fundamental and lived. As a Belanger, she has access to her family's institutional resources, but her relationship with the Practice is more personal and more scarred than Alexander's administrative approach.
Carries the specific tension of someone whose awareness extends beyond what a human mind is designed to process. The Belanger family bearing is present but strained by whatever she survived.
