Editing Deedee (section)

==Abilities==
*'''Goblin physiology:''' As a goblin, Deedee can rapidly heal and recover from otherwise fatal injuries. She knows how to fight.
**'''Senses:''' Can see in darkness<ref>“You might have to squint to see, but if you look there… there’s a suit of armor.”<br><br>“I can see in the dark, moron,” she muttered.  She looked and saw it in the corner.  Full-body armor, brown, with etchings.  “I can see it.  Badass.” - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb Excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref> in fact her eyes glow<ref name=":2" />, this is in addition to being able to hear/feel/smell threats.<ref>Deedee could feel the dull, unrefined malice drilling itself in between her shoulderblades as she left the girls behind, and saw Ben glance back, aware in his own way that something was fucky.<br><br>“Evil eye,” Deedee murmured.  “Probably born with it, but cyclops bitch doesn’t know how to use it.  She could do a lot of damage if she did.” - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb Excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref><ref>“So I could say I did it.  Now, if that’s the number two fucker-”<br><br>“I have good ears,” Deedee said.<br><br>“-It does things a thousand times more fucked up.  Things I wouldn’t touch,” Cockgnash growled.  He glared at Deedee, “Happy?”<br>[...]<br>“I have to,” Deedee said, dead serious now, her eyes wide.  “Because I can hear some goblins between us and home, and you gotta believe me, I’m pretty fucking sure it’s life or death, that I’m able to say this.' - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/heading=h.7onrtmkk8mas excerpt] from [[Poke 3]]<br><br>[Note: this was an elaborate prank, but still constructed out of true statements, and Ben found it plausible.]</ref><ref>Dee turned her head, her ear twitching beneath the hood.  She wrinkled her nose.  Bad feeling, and it wasn’t the old woman.<br><br>Absently, she reached for the weapon she’d given Ben earlier.<br>[...]<br>She wrinkled her nose, then lunged for the weapon, snatching it up and slipping it over the fingers of her right hand.  Four splintered spokes of wood stuck out, held rigid by the part that extended into her closed fist.<br><br>Coming closer.<br>[...]<br>He had a heavy neanderthal brow, which forced his eyes to be perpetually half-lidded.  The eyes were otherwise normal, but as far as Deedee was concerned, they could have been black with sheer boiling hate, given the vibes she got from him. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb Excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref> She claims to be able to see the real relationship between actors on TV.<ref>“The actor playing the boy-slut and the actress playing the uptight bitch started dating in season three episode four and that’s when you first see the glimmers of the ‘they gonna fuck’ energy.  Then by season three episode seven you get the hardcore ‘they fuckin’’ energy.  I don’t think it could be any more obvious than if he’d forgotten to wipe the pussy glaze from around his mouth before stepping in front of the camera.  But episodes were fucking clearly filmed out of order because the ‘they-fucking’ energy fucking zig-zags, which really fucking throws you if you want any fucking continuity.  Fucking inconsiderate.  But if you go to season four, you get to the ‘hate-fucking’ fucking energy, so clearly they had problems-”<br><br>“How do you even know this?”<br><br>“Because you can learn to see these things.  Especially if your fuckbuddy is an incest wizard and you put in any effort.” - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit# excerpt] from [[Poke 1]]</ref> She can sense when a person has cancer and what kinds.<ref>The woman was the kind of old that made her face very interesting, with bushy eyebrows.  She had a scarf covering hair and a knobby growth at her neck that Deedee could sense with her Other kinds of awareness, and an old fashioned, ankle-length black dress that hid fat and two different kinds of cancer. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref>
**[[Item Crafting|'''Item Crafting''']]''':''' Can create items for various uses, for instance using her prehensile tongue to craft a cursed knuckle duster,<ref>[[Poke 4]]</ref> or making a knife teddy bear.<ref>The goblin put down the black garbage bag she had slung over her shoulder.  She pulled out a stuffed animal that was very clearly modified by a goblin.  Barbed wire collar, one eye was a button, the other looked like it had been taken from a taxidermy set, and was disturbingly realistic.  She squished it down, and a knife blade poked out of the head.  “It’s got a knife inside.  You can always use another knife.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/01/01 Excerpt] from [[Left in the Dust 16.6]]</ref>
**'''Catlike''' '''Agility''': Dee can move with exceptional speed and flexibility, helping her to hide from humans.<ref>Acting on learned instinct, deeming the distance between couch and balcony door too far to cross, she scrambled for cover instead, hiding. [...] He turned to find the light switch, and she retreated deeper into the recess behind the couch while his back was turned. [...] It took him twenty minutes to clean things up, and she didn’t move a muscle as she watched him go about his business, getting everything sorted again.  [...] He seemed ready to collapse on the couch, but stopped himself at the last minute, hand going out to the couch back, making it rock and inch closer to the wall.  Behind the couch, she remained silent, even as it pressed in against her ribs and made breathing hard. [...] She squirmed around to try and get her head beneath the couch, found the space too narrow, contorted further to try to force it, and ended up in a contorted position where she couldn’t even breathe for two long minutes, before she worked her way back down to a regular lying-down position.  She suppressed every gasp for breath and cry of pain to remain wholly silent, even though it meant seeing stars. [...]<br><br>He scooted forward to reach for something, and the scoot gave her the half inch of gap she needed to slip free from her confines before he sat back again.  She was out in a flash, and then crouched beneath the arm of the couch, chin on her knees, eyes wide, as he settled down.<br><br>She waited until he wasn’t moving anymore, then crawled the rest of the way out of hiding, on all fours at first, her movements stiff. [...]  She coughed, then jammed her fingers down her throat to try to clear the jam, which made her gag and cough more, all without progress.
<br><br>“What the hell?” was the surprised cry. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.bep569ofr0x3 excerpt] from [[Poke 1]]</ref><ref>The process saw her move with eerie fluidity onto a tabletop, using both hands and feet, without even glancing at where she was going or taking her eyes off Mags. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.7onrtmkk8mas excerpt] from [[Poke 3]]</ref><ref>I can stick to shadows, I’m a good creeper, but I don’t know what this is about. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref>
*'''Information:''' Something of an information broker, able to find information for the right prices, at least when it comes to goblins.
*'''Urban adapted:''' Able to effectively operate in urban environments without major inconveniences, uncommon among goblins.<ref name=":7">Deedee liked these dark corners of the world.  Places humanity-as-usual didn’t tread.  It was easier to move around here than it was in the city, where pipes were flush with clean water underground and she could feel it, much like she could feel the power running through power lines above, and the wind through ventilation.  It felt like a binding circle that was all around her, three-quarters of the way complete, like someone could finish drawing it at any time.  For many goblins, it was enough that they didn’t go too deep into the cities, or they stuck to parts where power didn’t run and storm drains were clogged.<br><br>Not here.- [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref>
*She can transplant her keen goblin senses to humans, letting them borrow her abilities.<ref>But while she’d been distracted, Deedee had already collected the hairs in question, and applied them to tape.  A finger pressed the tape to Verona’s nose and pressed it firmly down.<br><br>...<br><br>The smells exploded out from everyone there.  Sweat smells, food smells, mixed smells, clothes smells, smells of places they’d been.  There were smells that were casualties of being victim to goblin pranks and tricks and there were smells that were there because people had interacted with others who’d been victim to pranks and tricks.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/01 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.9]]</ref>
*She's able to detect wards.<ref>That shit’s warded, and if you could see it the way I see it, you’d be able to tell.  I’ve taken it on myself to remind practitioner’s kiddos that things that go bump in the night can get ’em too.  So I had to learn.”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/01 Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.9]]</ref>

===Weaknesses===
* Goblin Physiology 
**Charged metal- She in vulnerable to crossing charged metal. She notes that, like most goblins, underground plumbing makes civilized places uncomfortable for her - although it's not enough to keep her out of them<ref name=":7" /> (her boyfriend's place has running water.)<ref name=":6" />
**Anti-Goblin Magic- In one instance she was unwillingly captivated by some unidentified kind of an anti-goblin stone that an [[Aware]] lady had used accompanied by a chant.<ref>Reaching into a pouch on her belt, the woman held out a stone.<br><br>A very, very interesting stone.  Deedee tracked it with her eyes.  It was shiny and somehow filthy while being pure, and it was big.  It pulled at her.<br><br>In a tone like she was pleading but angry, the woman began ranting in German, waving the stone around.  Deedee followed it, her head whipping around to keep the stone in the center of her vision.<br>[...]<br>The woman ranted until they were out of sight.  Deedee craned her neck around, watching the stone until intervening obstacles meant she couldn’t anymore.<br>[...]<br>"I okay.  What was that stone?”<br><br>“Don’t know.  I could try asking what they used to do about goblins, though.” - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1bPsZs1iPqHAcsJr4N7UgW-W7Ne4OCTtUjfvcxIoBmdI/edit#heading=h.vfbm49jh9pqb excerpt] from [[Poke 4]]</ref>
**Hypersomnolence - As a goblin Deedee sleeps far more than a human, comparable to a cat.
