Node:
Access to her family-owned Node.
Sanctum:
An isolated tunnel off the main part of the chantry; once belonged to her mother, now hers.
Wonders:
●●● Vita Custos Raphaelis, Cultrum Sanationis (Life-Guardian of Raphael, Knife of Healing) – Arete 5
This item is used for only one thing: working healing magic. It can also be used as an Instrument, but its only magical effect demands a sample of the blood of the target to be healed, and then it will cast a Life 3 Healing effect, as if cast by a Mage with Arete 5. This blade belonged to Phaedra’s mother, and was passed to her upon her mother’s death.

Paradigm
A World of Gods and Monsters
Turning the Keys to Reality
Her paradigm exists at a crossroads between these two ideas. The world is full of gods and monsters, and the keys exist to ‘hack reality’ and deal with them skillfully.

Avatar
The Questioner: Faye’s Avatar takes the form of some quasi-angelic being with a thunderous voice that mostly exists to challenge her with questions and tease her with potential truths that are left for her to solve or discover. They have a somewhat adversarial relationship, though not enough so to be considered ‘in conflict,’ because her Tytalan nature more or less demands this approach.

Other Details
- Car: As she lives in NY City, she has no car. She uses Uber.
- Family: Faye’s mother is dead, a Tytalan who managed to blow herself up with Paradox. Faye’s father is also a Tytalan, still alive and a Master within the Tammany Hall Chantry.
- Musical tastes: Faye goes for big-band and jazz standards, weirdly enough.
- View of Sleepers: She doesn’t have much patience for people she sees as ‘less than,’ and that’s decidedly how she sees most Sleepers. She doesn’t go out of her way to be an asshole to them, but with her awful Charisma, she doesn’t have to try to come off that way.
