Character design by Jellorat, story and personality by orphidor

Erinna Halliwell

Erinna is often more comfortable with the dead than the living. Spirits are more straightforward than living people, usually acting on simpler goals like revenge, justice, or finding the answer to a question. For Erinna, communicating with the undead is second-nature thanks to her natural mediumship abilities and her straightforward, trustworthy demeanor. She's exceptionally empathetic and intelligent, but she has a tendency to be blunt and slightly stubborn on times.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

She often walks long distances in the evenings. Her goal isn't simply exercise, as the activity tends to provide her with quiet time to think. Her speed and strength isn't as great as her stamina.

Special abilities

This is partially due to natural ability, but she's practiced long and hard to hone her skills in this regard. Erinna is also highly sensitive to energies related to both living people and locations.
