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! If you would like to opt out of her completely then you can also use this post to let me know. 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?
How hard should I avoid the topic of animal experimentation? (CWs will be applied at minimum no matter how you answered and I will avoid this subject as much as possible.)
The form mostly 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 and would exert her. She wouldn't be likely to do this unless she feels threatened as mind riding is something that feels natural to her.
Mind Control:
I wouldn't do anything relating to this without discussing 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 would struggle if she wasn't already calm.
Dream Walking:
Again, I wouldn't do this without discussing this with the player. She can walk in the dreams of others 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 are drawn to Cy. They become visible to those without any innate ability to do so when they're interacting with her.
Wild Road Morphing:
This is unlikely power to come into play, but there are roads formed by ancient magic in her own world that are created and maintained by use by cats. They are usually known as wild roads or highways and are set apart from the natural world. There are many mysteries and illusions on these roads, and while they traverse them domestic cats take on much wilder forms that fade upon leaving them. They're primarily used by cats, but other animals can and do use them. Humans (who are not usually considered animals by animals themselves) are the exception to this and are a great threat to the wild roads. Their interference with them inevitably causes damage.
