*Hearing the Hurt - Being a Spirit of Compassion, Cole uncontrollably feels the pain in places and people. He can remember things from other people's lives, even things like the last emotions of people who have died horrible deaths. He doesn't do this intentionally, it simply happens - and it isn't mind reading. He can only 'hear' things that cause a person hurt or discomfort, usually things they need to confront.
*Not Very Memorable - Cole has a way of not sticking in the minds of most people he meets. This is a skill he's learned to control over time, and he can actively make someone forget they've seen him, even in the middle of a conversation so that he can try a different line of conversation if his social skills fail him. Naturally, the general population gradually forget his face and name when he is out of their sight for a while, but those he chooses to interact more with can hold on to his memory without much issue.
*You Can't See Me - At will, Cole can simply not appear to people. Sometimes it's force of habit, sometimes more purposeful, but when he disappears like this, his presence simply doesn't register to the person he is hiding it from. He can walk right up to them, even brush past them, and he simply can't be perceived. There is a measure of at least some focus involved with this, however, and if caught off-guard or unconscious, he cannot disappear. Magic that dispels the abilities of spirits can also negate this power.
SO - my questions for you!
Can Cole read your character?
If Cole reads your character's pain, what will he find? Anything in particular you want him to zero in on? (Feel free to be esoteric, too! What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?)
Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such)
Can Cole make your character forget him?
Can Cole make your character not see him?
Anything else you want me to know?

What sights, sounds, smells, tastes?) LOTS. Ellie's got a metric fuckload of stuff to dig through, but she's absolutely steeped in violence, survivor's guilt and she's just so. Tired. Of being tired. Fire, blood, seawater, and snow are prominent with her, especially snow mixed with ash and blood mixed with seawater. Lots of awful guilt, lots of anger. Crippling amounts of loss, particularly of a father-figure. Basically, she started out as a good person, tried very hard to be a bad person, and succeeded. Now she's reaping the emotional fallout. I'll extrapolate if you want to dig.
Is there anything you DO NOT want Cole to mention? (CWs and such) N/A.
Can Cole make your character forget him? Sure, just give me a heads up.
Can Cole make your character not see him? Of course. Though he might be surprised to find out Ellie can do that, too!
Anything else you want me to know? Ellie's a mess of guilt and loneliness and loss, but hides it as best she can. She wants connections with people but has issues with letting them get too close.
