The woodlands around Jacob's Bell are hers in a way few people can claim, having been there for thousands of years. The [[spirits]] within it are also within her power and will side with her under most circumstances.<ref name=":5">“Bullshit!” Roxanne joined the cry.  Evan was only a step behind her.
We managed to make Mara look annoyed.
“I have been here for a long time,” Mara said.  “My day is a ritual.  My <em>existence</em> is ritual.  The spirits that dwell here are mine.  They will side with me.”
Her face was cloaked in shadow, framed by her hair, shrouded by the 
canopy, and something told me it was intentional, as if she 
instinctively knew where the light fell, here.  The only light there, in
 her silhouetted form, was a gleam at one eye, like the edge of a knife.

She has an instinctive awareness of her environment while within<ref>Mara was running, one eye on the gunmen, and she was moving faster than I
 did.  As light as I was, my feet still stabbed through the snow, five 
steps in six sinking me to mid-calf or knee level.  Mara’s footsteps 
didn’t.  She moved easily over the crust of snow, and when her feet did 
punch through it, she found something solid beneath. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/20 excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.7]] </ref><ref name=":5">“Bullshit!” Roxanne joined the cry.  Evan was only a step behind her.

</ref><ref>I moved, but every movement came with cues.  The crunch of snow.  With 
years of experience, she would know, she’d intuit exactly where I was in
 respect to her. - [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/16/sine-die-14-6/ excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.6]]</ref> and could seemingly dodge bullets.<ref name=":2" /><ref>Rose fired.<br>
Mara moved in the same moment, away from the bullet, simultaneously 
turning to glance at me.  To see a small cloth doll with a weird 
leathery face being dashed to pieces.<br>
The bullet didn’t strike home, but I was <em>pretty</em> sure that she’d been grazed.  Clipped in an ear.  One hand went to the side of her head.<br>
“I thought you said this gun made me accurate.”<br>
“Benefits you,” the man I’d nicknamed ‘Shotgun’ spoke, holding his 
trademark weapon.  “Can’t help you if the target can dodge bullets.”<br>

The easiest path through her woods was always a trap, and would lead you to her.<ref>“Take the harder path!  The obvious path is a trap, here!” another voice
 said.  It might have been the male Behaim.  He was grunting as the birds assaulted him.  “Paths will turn you around and send you back into her clutches!”
- [https://pactwebserial.wordpress.com/2014/12/20 excerpt] from [[Sine Die 14.7]]</ref> [[Practitioner]] children were warned to always take the harder path there, and use the church bells from the town as a guide.
