"....and whenever they catch you, they will kill you.
....But first, they must catch you"
― Richard Adams, Watership Down
Jolie has a way about her, a precarious way, like she's got one foot in play and the other in sincere mischief.
That isn't the only balancing the new girl in town is pulling off.
Otherworldly sea green eyes catch the light with a glassy sheen that promises she sees more than she should.
One foot in this world, one foot in twilight, the girl with piercing eyes works hard to hide what she sees.
New to Town
Jolene is new to town, but not big cities, a transplant from Los Angeles, who is getting to know the city, it's denizens, and her place here. According to her "It was time for a change.".
I've got Some Tricks up My Sleeve
With clever fingers and a beguiling smile every so often the little trouble maker likes to show off some close up magic tricks, making cards and coins dance to her will while playing it cool, like it's no big deal.
Word Play
Jolene loves learning new languages, and will always jump at a chance to be exposed to a new one, or practice one she already knows.
Straddling Worlds
With a foot here, and the other in the Twilight, Jolene is constantly immersed in both worlds, and constantly working to hide that fact. To not react to the flitting of spirits, or answer a stray question or song that the rest of the mundane never heard asked.
Wandering Locus
It isn't just that she's in both worlds, she thins the space between them, a walking locus that is like a beacon to the spirit world and those looking to cross in either direction, the wayward waystone is also a font of essence, so it's no surprise spirits linger near her....hungrily.
Renowned
Jolie has been recognized for her deeds by the spirits and bares silvery renown brands that are visible in the Hisil.
Married to the Mob
Well, Dating? Maybe? Jo has been seen in the company of Darren Lynch quite a lot lately, and spending time with his friends more and more often. (Status: Crime 1)
Darren Lynch The first person I think of when I wake up, and the last person I think of when I go to bed. But he's the last one I'm calling in a real emergency.
Herr Doktor Altman: I consider myself fortunate to have found a mentor in Herr Doktor Ludwig. He is as gracious as he is patient...
Sonja Anastasijevic: There have been days I'm certain I wouldn't have gotten around to eating, if it wasn't for Sonja. The best cook I know.
Sieghilde Altman Rescuer of strays...wait a second....I'm starting to notice a pattern with the Unbekannt.
Jano Kills Crow: When he looks at me, I know he sees me. He thinks I'm worth looking out for, and I'm going to do everything I can to prove him right.
Orana Davis: Don't ever ask her something you don't want the answer to. Orana cuts to the heart of every thing...
Sierra Roen: I'm still getting her measure, but she seems like a good resource, and maybe someday a friend, who knows...

"When you light somethin' on fire you may as well watch it burn. We'll be warm for a while love. And then we'll be done for." - Darren Lynch
