Editing Crooked Rook (section)

==Abilities==
She has demonstrated the ability to manipulate the spiritual makeup and to undo or twist the bindings of [[Others]] after trapping them in boxes.<ref>[8.7 Spoilers:] [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/02/04 New Other Correspondence]</ref> This can allow her to radically alter the type of the [[Other]] in question.<ref>“Scary like… I saw her trap an Other. Bogeyman, strapped to a spiked wheel. Had a bunch of spirits with her, and they dove into the trap. A wind elemental too, I think. Adjusted the box, rotated parts of it. She asked for reinforcements in case it came out fighting. I was there, so were goblins. Trap opens, and the Other isn’t strapped to the wheel anymore. No spikes. Looked happier, balancing on the wheel, cavorting around like a circus performer. Then she bent down, picked up a corroded iron spike that had been stuck in the ground, and put it in her belt. For the next time.”<br><br>“She changes them, fundamentally?” Verona asked.<br><br>“Took the abyss out of it, put in some wind and spirit. Like it was easy.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/02/09 Excerpt] from [[Shaking Hands 9.1]]</ref> She has showcased the need to be specific about what changes she makes to others so that they are stable long term.

She is capable of storing a room or location inside a box, allowing her to move her base of operations easily.<ref>Lucy asked about some plants and about the structure of the space, and Rook explained the various purposes different plants had, the origins, and told Lucy how this space was one of several she could fold up to put in a box and keep with her.- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/10/24/fall-out-14-6/ Excerpt] from [[Fall Out 14.6]]</ref>

She mentions that she's a member of a sect of Oni who build boxes and cages, with an implication that these are related to the positions and roles that Others take in the world.<ref>[[Shaking Hands 9.Z]]</ref>

She is battle-hardened and has experience in combat, despite suffering many losses.<ref>“The tense wait before calm turns to fighting, before a letter is delivered, before an army arrives on the doorstep.”<br><br>“How many nights like this have you had?”<br><br>“I couldn’t say for sure, because it’s hard to say for sure what qualifies.  At least twenty.”<br><br>“How many turned out okay?”<br><br>Rook was silent.<br><br>“Rook?” Lucy asked.<br><br>“In the longest run?  Two nights out of those twenty, I was happy with the outcome.  I was disappointed after, in both cases.  Because the victory was squandered, in the first case, and because the victors became as vile as the people we’d been fighting in the second.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/04 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.10]]</ref>
