Nina is a Heartrender, which means she has a gnarly set of powers! She's able to do the following ethically dubious things:

Affect others emotionally. Nina can spike or lower heartrates to amp up or lower anxiety, and she can manipulate brain chemistry to steer people's emotions in a certain direction. Note that this is a temporary state, lasting no more than a minute, and hormone manipulation will require direct physical contact.

Detect physical manifestations of emotions. She can do things like intuit when someone might be lying based on their heartrate or tell when someone is angry from their blood pressure.

Affect others physically. Nina can also affect others' biology by doing things like damaging internal organs, disabling muscles, and even stopping hearts. Gross! But she can also ease pain and discomfort and do some limited healing.

Tailor appearances. She can bring about limited changes to others' appearances through Tailoring. This is generally limited to subtle changes (tweaks to natural features). It takes a while and will eventually go back to how it originally looked.

What I'd like from you is to know the following:

Name: Ammmy
Character name: Julius, Cosima, Vanya
Are you comfy with Nina using her powers where you can read?: Generally yes, though I appreciate keeping vivid descriptions of things visibly moving under skin to a minimum if possible.
Can Nina use her power to affect your character(s) emotionally?: Generally cool with it, but please check in if it's something directly contrary to what they're already feeling (amplifying something existing is fine)
Can Nina use her power to tell things about your character(s)'s emotional state? Yes
Can Nina use her power to affect your character(s) physically (e.g., easing pain, nausea, etc.)?: Yes
On the off-chance your character get into a scuffle with Nina, can she use her powers offensively on your character?: Blanket yes if it's something temporarily disabling, but please check in if it's something they'll need time to recover from!
If your character sees Nina's powers, will they freak out because it looks like blood magic?: Cosima is chill; Julius will probably be a little freaked out and will have some personal feelings, but isn't going jump directly to reporting her or taking action; Vanya has formerly decided rifters don't count in order to avoid cognitive dissonance, though it may make him reluctant to trust her.
