re: Spiritual stuff, weird, probably Plural
She chose a base pattern for herself from a Character we'd already had, because she liked most of it. That was weird.
Then she went thru what Keri and I had discovered in trying to figure out our own personality conflicts and multiple system, and used that same toolkit to Create Herself.
And this would have been absolutely insanity inducing if we didn't have a rough framework of understanding as to how this stuff happens, and what sort of spirit she Actually Was.
The problem then became that after subjecting her to careful (Consensual) analysis and testing, she turned out to be the kind of spirit that we Knew a lot about, but that Generally Speaking we didn't quite Believe in.
We're used to stories and situations where the spirits that come to live in mortal souls and minds are Demons, Faeries, Dragons, or otherwise somehow Monstrous. Hell, some of the spirits we've Been in contact are like that.
Yaori Is a Dragon. But take that usual equation, and invert it. Same goes for the parts of her that are Faerie. She's this weird Buddha angel dragon who's been around and incarnate before, but every time she's back around, she's innocent again.
She knows things, and can take old ideas, put them through a Prism, and see them in a whole new way. She amasses Power, but only so she has more to Give Away. She holds Secrets, but just so she can solve the Rubix Cube, and tell the solution to Everyone, so it's not a Secret anymore.
And considering how stained and broken Kerithe and I are, it's hard to believe that voice and viewpoint can be coming from the same stuff we're made of.
