Wanda is a simple creature who likes things with thought put behind them. You can give her a card that's an A4 piece of paper folded in half with pen markings saying, "Happy Birthday, Wanda", and she'll be happy. She grew up with so little, so anything means a lot to her.
Things she likes: Cassette tapes (video and music), second hand books, cards (including tarot!), jewellery such as rings and bracelets, and anything that reminds you of her even if it doesn't make a lick of sense.

TELEPATHY PERMISSIONS.
If you're okay with having your character's mind read, please let me know by filling in my super fancy form. I'm using this form as a soft indicator as to who is up for what in the zoo. If I see an opportunity for Wanda to read your character's mind/mind control them, I will reach out to you 1:1 to discuss opportunities, intention, potential fallout, and follow-up.
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: plurk, discord (compels), smoke signals
CHARACTER: ness tavane, oc
MENTAL BARRIERS: no barriers, but she is also telepathic! she's got a lot more restrictions than wanda, but she can and absolutely will get all up in wanda's business if wanda gets in hers.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: It's Complicated—ness is very invested in not dying in thedas (been there already at home) and so she doesn't want to have any association with blood magic... but also, her magic is helping her be useful and cool to the authority figures she cares about impressing. more generally, Do Whatever You Want, but leave her out of it. will not narc, will absolutely judge if magic is used stupidly.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: y, hoist this bitch by her own petard
OTHER NOTES: it is not telepathy or mind control but ness is stephen's magic apprentice and thinks the sun shines out of his ass and i feel like there is fertile ground there for shenanigans.

PREFERRED CONTACT: discord @ shadowesque is best, but if you wanna hit me up on plurk at the same name go for it
CHARACTER: Mobius
MENTAL BARRIERS: Nothing on the surface; ideally Templars shut down magic before the magic mojo fucks with your head! There might be a smidge of resistance there from Templar-y training but nothing to keep her out unless he actively asserts, y'know, reality into the situation
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Absolutely Big Fucking No What The Fuck Bruh
More nuanced: he's had someone very close to him be able to mildly influence emotions which was a really gd complicated thing bc that's fucked up but was also used for ggggood, generally. (And might have briefly had empathic abilities himself that gave him lots of Feelings.) Wholeass telepathy is a new thing for him, though, and he's got Secrets and Things He Doesn't Like To Talk About that he would be unhappy to get poked at. Blood magic is overall no bueno. uhhhhh except when we absolutely have to use it to fix shit that got hella broken maybe, okay. All rules have exceptions!!! But also blood magic is shit that can very easily lead down a very bad path of demon stuff, and we don't like demon stuff, RIGHT WANDA?
anyway everyone be glad he's an ex-templar that isn't beholden to the strict rules of his order anymore
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Y if ever the stars seem to align that way but that would destroy any positive cr they might garner before then so y'know. in case of emergency break glass
OTHER NOTES: also close strange cr. that's his bestie right there. that can't possibly become potentially complicated down the line somewhere or anything. He is also Aware of MCU things, broadly, to a point, both from things being discussed with Mobius and also having visited a mishmash MCU world where he became acquainted with some of the history and modern tech and fun things don't worry about it. Not gonna break that 4th wall but might like vaguely recall hearing her name and that she's got magic and was part of that there Avengers group of good guys maybe. /HANDWAGGLES

PREFERRED CONTACT: hmu on disco
CHARACTER: Gwenaëlle Baudin
MENTAL BARRIERS: Zip zilch nada.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: She has a typical native unease with blood magic (and therefore telepathy), but ultimately her attitude is do not fucking fuck us. She's not going to tell the cops, but the cops finding out is absolutely her top concern. If it can be useful then it also needs to be smart and discreet, etc.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Not no, but this is a potential CR nuke. I wouldn't rule out possible scenarios where they could work through that, though.
OTHER NOTES: Gwenaëlle has a comedic lack of filter. Nine out of ten times if Wanda reads her mind, it's probably the exact same shit she just said. Twice in the game history everyone's been affected by some kind of truth potion and she has failed to notice until told despite being affected. It's not that there's nothing deeper to discover (there are things she doesn't necessarily talk about or that she isn't necessarily totally self-aware about!) but I think the main impression Wanda would get from her is that wow, what you see is basically what you get.

PREFERRED CONTACT: still disco babey
CHARACTER: Petrana de Cedoux
MENTAL BARRIERS: None.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Much more relaxed on the subject than the native population (familiar with similar-but-different magic elsewhere), but: something she will put in her pocket in case she ever needs to use it. Would not go straight to "tell the cops", would strongly prefer not to tell the cops (ACAB), but is not above exploiting a known advantage like "having information someone might prefer the cops not be aware of" if pressed. Ya girl's a politician.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Y if it comes up/feels like a good place for the story to go, but this is a guaranteed CR nuke. Probably not something positive CR could survive. Weaponising the cops back on the table.
OTHER NOTES: Grief and motherhood trauma? Let's fuckin go, I've wanted this specific CR for SO LONG.

PREFERRED CONTACT: our sprawling discord dms
CHARACTER: Stephen Strange
MENTAL BARRIERS: Yes, and they’re better now that he knows to be on his guard around her; they’re not impermeable, though, so she can absolutely get through them. Maybe she can always get through since it’s her bread-and-butter, but he’s gotten better at sensing when it’s happened?
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: He’s distressingly open to it, and would do it himself if he could tbh. But he’s also extremely private and would dislike her finding out too much about him without consent, so he’d be fairly prickly about her picking up some piece of unintended personal information. Since he’s already well-familiar with Wanda’s telepathy, though, I am extremely here for telepathic conversations in general and she can drop a casual message to him anytime and he won’t be fussed about having a chat mentally.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Y but obviously OOC discussion needed. It wouldn’t totally nuke CR (they’ve already been through the wringer together), but it would for sure Cause More Problems.
OTHER NOTES: Since he has the beginnings of dreamer abilities, down the line I v much want them to have eerie conversations in Fade-crafted dreamscapes!! Him accidentally creating a version of the Sanctum Sanctorum, her subconsciously moulding a version of Westview, them having a détente in this spooky magical setting. I just think it’d be neat.

CHARACTER: Astrid Runasdotten
MENTAL BARRIERS: None.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: She’s a local, but from a tribe called the Avvar who are way more chill about magic attitudes; they’re comfortable with spirit possession which the regular church frowns upon, etc. She’s not bothered as long as it doesn’t seem to be used for harm or hostile purposes; she’s also an open book so what you see is largely what you get anyway.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Y! Obviously it’s not great but wouldn’t be as much of a hot-button issue for her compared to Stephen.
OTHER NOTES: A simple shimbo.

PREFERRED CONTACT: Discord (shambolism)
CHARACTER: Lazar
MENTAL BARRIERS: Nope
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: He's a local, so he knows that stuff's bad. He does not, in practice, care. Unlikely to narc*, and not generally considered a reliable witness.
* Unless specifically asked whether it's happened by Yseult.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: OOC, this is cool if we talk about it first. IC, he'll consider it equivalent to knifing him, and respond accordingly.
OTHER NOTES: Lazar does not have much of a filter, and is doubtfully a very useful person to mind-read.
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: Discord (shambolism)
CHARACTER: Isaac
MENTAL BARRIERS: None
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Neutral when used on other people. Extremely negative when used on him. Will narc to the other native mages. He's very private, and if he's aware she can read his thoughts he'll get very mean about what she's seeing there.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: OOC, this is cool if we talk about it first. IC, this is a CR nuke that he would consider an open attack. Some measure of violent response is likely.
OTHER NOTES: Isaac has some shady magic of his own, and has been closely involved with a number of blood mages. It's something he can keep a secret about if he doesn't feel directly threatened by it. If you're interested in someone recognizing/deciding that's what's going on, I'm potentially down.
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: Discord (shambolism)
CHARACTER: Cedric Carsus
MENTAL BARRIERS: Minor magic resistance. May be able to disrupt mind control if he notices it as it's taking hold.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Extremely negative. He's the magic cops. Would currently narc about it to Riftwatch leadership, and the Chantry at large.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: OOC, this is cool if we talk about it first. IC, this is a CR nuke that he would respond to violently, and tell the Chantry about.
OTHER NOTES: This would prooobably be a 'hit up the mods about broader world consequences' situation.
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: Grab me off the game discord! Or circuitry on plurk.
CHARACTER: Kostos Averesch
MENTAL BARRIERS: Not inherently but he can dispell magic if he's aware it's happening.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Blood magic opinions are negative but some of his best friends are blood mages & he knows what it actually looks like, so he'd be able to tell the difference and not freak out. Telepathy separate from blood magic concerns he would get over. He says what he's thinking anyway so if someone wants to cut out the middle men of mouths and ears that's fine.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: OOC yes. IC he would be upset. Not necessarily a CR destroyer but definitely a big angry fight causer.
OTHER NOTES: He would not tell the cops unless it seemed like it was endangering other people/Riftwatch as a whole in an urgent way, but he's likely to tell other rebel native mages & co about anything he sees as a Problem they need to collectively address under the table. And he's a spirit medium, so essentially a spirit-specific psychic, and they should hang out.

PREFERRED CONTACT: errorchord @ discord or
CHARACTER: Clarisse La Rue
MENTAL BARRIERS: Nope
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Not opposed to it (and has had telepathic dreams before herself), won't narc, but will likely get annoyed that it's being used on her.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Yyyyy
OTHER NOTES: So many daddy issues
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: Grab me off the game discord! Or circuitry on plurk.
CHARACTER: Redvers Keen
MENTAL BARRIERS: Templar with some magic resistance & the ability to silence mages if necessary.
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Not good. Bad. Blood magic in particularly he will kill a person over and say sorry afterwards if someone thinks he should have waited, but he wouldn't necessarily confuse telepathy for blood magic.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: OOC yes, IC he would react badly enough that we should chat about it first.
OTHER NOTES: Definitely will report anything he's aware of to outside entities (he has a lot of Templar and Chantry pen pals) so step lightly.
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: Grab me off the game discord! Or circuitry on plurk.
CHARACTER: Bastien
MENTAL BARRIERS: Nada
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Normal level of afraid of blood magic, but he's been around the block enough to know rifters are Like That and listen to explanations rather than grab a pitchfork. But he'd consider telepathy without permission a violation on a personal level and be pretty pissed about it. (This is not unrelated to the fact that he's a huge liar.)
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: IC yes, OOC he might be reluctantly forgiving depending on the circumstances (e.g. "a boulder was about to fall on your head and it was easier to mind control you into moving than try to tell you") but outside of those special situations it's likely to be a positive CR killer. He's a big fan of his autonomy.
OTHER NOTES: Nope!
no subject
PREFERRED CONTACT: plurk, pm, discord
CHARACTER: Jayce Talis
MENTAL BARRIERS: Nope
CHARACTER OPINIONS ON TELEPATHY/BLOOD MAGIC: Wary-curious. Would not appreciate it used on him, but would possibly find it understandable dependent on intent and circumstance.
ARE YOU UP FOR MIND CONTOL?: Hesitant yes because it might irreversibly negatively impact CR regardless of circumstance BUT at his heart he is inherently curious and may be able to rationalize his way through it.
OTHER NOTES: Overall a Good Person but usually puts up a bit of a polite front.
INVENTORY.
