PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Short answer is that it depends on the canon point, but regardless she craves physical contact.
Longer answer is that prior to patch 3.7, she's "cursed" with a touch that drains the life from beings on contact, so she is extremely avoidant when it comes to touch. Based on what's shown in canon, I play that those who are already dead or lacking a soul are immune to her touch, and that she can touch inorganic things without issue. This means she's gotten two hugs in her lifetime and she's incredibly touch-starved as a result.
Upon being "reborn" in An Eternal Page within As I've Written, the "curse" is erased, allowing her to freely touch without concern for anyone else's safety.
SHIPPING: Y - my favorite canon ships are her with the Trailblazer, Mydei, Aglaea, Phainon, and Cipher, but I'm down for anything! including cross-canon!!
DEMEANOUR: withdrawn within herself, keeping her distance from others and her hands often tucked in front of her body. tends to observe from afar opposed to interacting with things directly
MAGICAL INFORMATION: [more tba] she has a deadly aura to go along with her deadly touch. It's usually suppressed, but she's able to activate it at will, causing anything within five paces to enter a trance where they feel like they're being swallowed by darkness and unease.
