Alma/Stereotypes

Self:	An odd scientist at times. Sometimes she has a mild neophobia about jumping in to things, but she pushes though it. It's the suspicion. But she's not consistent, sometimes it's neophilia instead. It's the sensation of wonder. context. She wants to give people real second chances, not this return to the wheel myth. Too many people want to cure what they don't understand or send them to hell for it. Sometimes she's a difficult student. She's too smart for her own good. If she didn't wear her hair in a ponytail it would get caught in the zipper of her vest of many pockets or fly in her face. "ptwww fppt plah", she says, as it gets in her mouth.
Mages:	Everything is magic. If you don't think this it is because you haven't honed your perception enough to observe the action of power interacting with the world. I may not know how to detect it yet, but I will. She's willing to learn about established doctrines because they are instructive, but they don't really tell you how things really work. People are distracted by all of these stories. And notice how anthropocentric they are all are. Beware everyone's language. Language changes people. Control language and you control minds.
Sorcerers:	Sorcerers are mages, right?
Fera:	Wolf birds! Not just wolves. At first I thought they were just a bunch of narcissistic murder-people who thought I was spying on them when all I'm doing is my job. Now I realize that people get afraid and will want to defend themselves the best they can.
Vampires:	holy fucking shit. you mean to say vampires are real? no kidding? that's kind of terrifying. Note to self, avoid vampires because they will probably rip your face off.
Fae:	Do they like crows? I like Matthew in Sandman.
People:	Office hours in the Hall of Science and the outdoors. Help them grow or leave them alone? Why not ask them what they want. Guard their borders.
The City:	meet it and call it hello. it's an insular hagiogeography.[1][2]
Nature:	I love nature, but have you ever been bitten by it? Wet boots are pretty nasty too. Sometimes offices and dry clothes are really great.
