Venessa Ursidai Ven-nes-ah Ur-sid-eye
Ludus Descendant
The watered down power allows for a more hands on exprience.
" My life is a romantic tragedy, I cry as my laptop dies in my arms "
A descendent of Ludus is another way of saying she's essentially a cupid, more or less, thanks to her mother passing on the baton. As a result, she's a supernatural empath with the ability to see fate lines of the colour red. This can be seen as a huge boon or absolutely unfortunate as Venessa loves to dip into everyone's business, usually with the intent to better things. The unfortunate part comes in that she's not exactly as emotionally intelligent as you'd hope a cupid to be. She also has a pension for soap opera-level drama.

ABILITIES

She can see the the red strings of fate, typically in relation to love
-
To a degree, she can influence these threads, usually only to tie knots, loop them around someone else temporarily or change their length slightly.

-
Her abilities are often channelled through the iconic use of arrows released from a bow
-
Her bow is formed from her bones, appearing rapidly when needed from her right wrist
-
A deep red heart-shaped mark on her inner right wrist is a source of her Ludus-infused blood to lash out and form arrows when summoned, ready to release

More muttering, except this time loud and scattered with colourful language.
RELATIONSHIPS
Mikel Faltrek
Partner
Mike and Venessa sort of just sunk into a relationship through a silent understanding, carefully reading one another without consciously doing so to know exactly where the relationship was going. To this day neither has officially asked out the other, something they like to joke about to tease others. You know, playing dumb about dating or outright denying it.
Venessa rarely stays planted for long enough to forge bonds with others, like a leaf in the wind she just won't settle. Most can't shift their character to handle it, but Mike? He is both a leaf in the wind riding along with her and a dead zone for her to settle comfortably for some time before the wind picks up again.
Close Friend
Sherri Goltoro
Venessa loves that Sherri is always down to be easily swept up into things and has no problem with Venessa popping in and out of the scene. They can always pick up the friendship and even their conversations right where they left them no matter how much time has passed. They have similar minds for imagining and letting their minds run away from them, so this can result in some awesome ideas, or it can lean the other way and they get nothing done.
Friend
Cepheus Vottel
They're both leaderly extroverts who are well aware they will butt heads if they try to overlap too much. But they get along well in shorter bursts of interaction or when someone else is taking the lead instead. They also form the brigade of: mess with our girl Sherri and we'll screw you over socially.
Friend
Vince Ebseden
Venessa struggles to understand Vince but he's pretty damn good at reading others, she's noticed. But she drives him crazy with his refusal to use that ability for more, or at the very least tell her so she can do something with it.
They bond over being theatre nerds and analysing symbolism and themes in literature, then applying the same language to other things that make the others roll their eyes. Also soap operas.
Latzen Soldar
As a general rule, do not allow these two to be left alone. Especially with any piece of technology. Similar energy for creatively achieving their ambitious goals and trying things just to see if they can, all with the lack of wondering if they should.
Zela Lovelac
They keep each other updated on design trends and such.
