So I've had two characters floating around in my head since before the move, and I'm toying with the idea of merging them into ONE GLORIOUS BEING but want to test the waters first for fear of apping her and then LEAVING HER TO DIE IN A PIT OF USELESSNESS.
Off the bat she'll be a temporary character, but I have three scenarios under which she could feasibly stay on but those are irrelevant right now. ANYWAYS, X was born elsewhere to a working class family. As she got older, they realized she was a seer in some capacity. She eventually went on to tout her abilities as higher than they were, and eventually used "Matchmaking Visions" and their associated friendships/income to elevate herself to the middle class.
One of her most successful matches will have returned to England a few months ago from that same elsewhere and have been very devastated on her bestie's behalf at their singleness, so she'll send for the seer that found her SUCH HAPPINESS~, arriving in May!
Where do you come in?
I have a couple of ideas of what could be done with her — for the most part, she'd be a supporting character in your story moreso than the hero of her own. She has had some genuine success, more coincidental success, matches that suck but they're convinced they're just doing something wrong because IT WAS FORETOLD!!!111 so they pretend it works, and total flops. Ideas include:
Is there anyone that would find a way to force their character into one or more of the above situations?

Ideas include:
- Character facilitated Hurling Roulette, which I do most years anyways but now there's an added element.
- A "Matchmaker's Ball" for UC singles and the people who drag them there.
- "Romantic Counselling" for new debs
- Psychic couples' therapy for existing pairs that are on the outs
- WITCH WEEKLY GET AT ME
- Bribe your way into the arms of you beloved, or bribe someone else out of their arms
Is there anyone that would find a way to force their character into one or more of the above situations?
