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: Charlie
Character name: Ellie, Jude
Are you comfy with Nina using her powers where you can read?: Yes please
Can Nina use her power to affect your character(s) emotionally?: Yes! Ellie may or may not notice something wonky, while Jude will be very sensitive to any changes in his emotional state that he didn't authorize.
Can Nina use her power to tell things about your character(s)'s emotional state? Absolutely
Can Nina use her power to affect your character(s) physically (e.g., easing pain, nausea, etc.)?: You bet
On the off-chance your character get into a scuffle with Nina, can she use her powers offensively on your character?: Unlikely but hell yeah, as long as it's not something permanently disabling or disfiguring.
If your character sees Nina's powers, will they freak out because it looks like blood magic?: Ellie is fine with blood magic as long as it doesn't delve into the realm of unwilling sacrifice, so she's generally good. She won't mind Nina's powers being used to benefit her, but will resent anything that feels like a loss of her own free will. Jude comes from a place where these powers are prized but potentially very dangerous. It'll be a plus for him unless she blatantly abuses them in his presence.
