Character: Felix Harrowgate Is your character especially logical or creative (or a complete lunatic)? Felix might be one of those strange cases of creatively logical? He's very scientifically minded and prefers to read non-fiction over fiction, but a lot of that he applies to the practice of magic. While it's something he's born with, magic is very much a scholarly field where he comes from, and he loves to learn. He's also far more willing to buck accepted theories and come up with his own solutions to things. Does your character have any echoes that Katie can see/interact with? Boy, does he ever. Felix's life is full of traumatic stuff. Canonically he often has dreams about fire or water (specifically the river from his city called the Sim, which is characteristically dark-watered and smells faintly metallic), though the biggest echo would likely be his former master Malkar. Malkar more or less made Felix into the man he is now and was absolutely awful into him. Felix does manage to kill him in canon but then spends the next book obsessing about the possibility of the man coming back to life. Feel free to ask or read his history on his journal, if you want to know more.
Other things of note: Felix was insane for awhile! Or, more accurately, it made him hideously sensitive to magic and all things with one foot in the spiritual world. He could see ghosts, see the imprint of spells that would normally be invisible, see people's auras that translated to their emotions, etc. He still retains some of this sensitivity if he's ever deprived of his own magic. Also, he does tend to actively ward his own dreams, meaning that he doesn't have nightmares all the time, though it's clearly not 100% effective. I don't know if she could sense the echoes are present but blocked in some sense, or if it would cut them off for her too? Again, feel free to ask.
