As Cy is psychic and tends to casually bring up things she picks up on in conversation it would be super useful if you could please consider answering these questions for me! Thank you.

Do you mind Cy reading your character's mind?
Is there any reason she wouldn't be able to read their mind?
Is there anything you DO want her to pick up on?
Is there anything you DON'T want her to pick up on?




The form only has questions relevant to mind reading, but here is a hopefully helpful explanation of her powers in full.

Mind Reading:

Cy tends to pick up on background information, random thoughts, sometimes even information relating to the person/animal they don't know themselves. For her it comes as easy as hearing spoken words and she doesn't quite realise this isn't the norm for everyone. If there's a block she probably could push through it if she wanted to so long as it wasn't too strong, but for the most part she wouldn't be likely to bother with this. What she does mention is usually vague and often indecipherable to those who don't know what she's referring to.

As far as others with psychic abilities they would be able to read Cy's mind too, or even see through her eyes if they had that ability. She can put up a block if she puts on the effort, but how effective this is would depend on how strong the mind reader is.

Mind Control:

With this power I wouldn't do anything without discussion with the player in advance. This is used in canon to induce sleep, and I don't think she would be likely to use it for much else. Perhaps to stop someone doing something she doesn't want them to, but she probably needs to be calm enough to focus to get this ability to work.

Dream Walking:

Again, I wouldn't do this without discussing this with the player. She can walk in others dreams as well as manipulate them. As far as it's shown she can only manipulate what is already there, but she can change the tone and outcome.

Creation:

Cy creates strange lights at times. Moths, birds, etc... at others.

Mediumship:

Ghosts seem to be drawn to Cy. They become visible to others without her powers when they're interacting with her.

Wild Road Morphing:

This is unlikely to come up in game, but I'm including it here anyway just for the sake of completion. In Cy's canon there are special roads called highways that are used by animals as shortcuts. They can't be used by humans, and if a human tries to get around this it can cause great damage to them. The roads are maintained by use and will start to fade if they fall out of it. Older roads that survive change the forms of the user into something bigger. Domestic cats become big cats in the case of Cy. After leaving the highway she may retain this form momentarily, but she will quickly return to her smaller tabby self.
