Character Name: Vanessa Ives
Fear Manifestation:

Being rejected/abandoned. Being alone. Losing control of herself. Feeding into the 'losing control' is giving into her hidden self (Amunet). Hurting or killing loved ones, or failing to protect them. Losing her faith in God (already mostly there). Fulfilling her prophecy and summoning the apocalypse. To that, giving in to WANTING to fulfill the prophecy and just be done with it.

Some settings behind Vanessa's old fears have already manifested in the hospital (asylum memories) and the haunted cottage (witch hunt memories). More might manifest in the form of a burning woman hanging from a tree, bath tubs overflowing with bloody, freezing water, and shadowy figures in the forms of loved ones whispering devilish enticements or condemnation.

She is mainly going to be making the fears of others worse, provoking and magnifying them, but her stuff can be thrown into the mix for extra spice!

Infection Involvement:

Vanessa is Patient Zero for the infection, but because of her connection it has also taken the longest to completely take her over. For most of the event, she'll bounce between moments of clarity and then wanting to spread the infection to others. By the end of the event, she'll be completely taken over by despair, rage, and self-loathing, and along with glowing red irises on black sclear, her veins will appear an inky black, and her shadow will be shifting between a serpent's and tentacles. This connection will also be bringing the dark 'goddess' Amunet closer to the surface.

If you want to say Vanessa infected your character, feel free!

Goals:

This is an opportunity (for herself and others) to find out just how dangerous Vanessa can be when enticed by true darkness, and potentially learn a little more about her hidden trauma. This is also an opportunity for her to learn some of the darkest secrets of others in-game, and show that she'd never reject them no matter how bad they get.

I expect fallout and repercussions when all is said and done, and am fine with this leading to negative CR for some.
