Anthy Parvela ("Spokes")

Knows a tiny bit of magic, but doesn't really know it's magic. They pride themself so deeply on how well they know the city that they figure the odd rifts, misaligned shortcuts, and recurring geometric pigeon patterns are just neat secrets they've found. You know, like a  Real Chi-towner. Nevermind the weird moments of intuition that led them to find these secrets--clearly, they just really feel the city, you know? No, I guess you wouldn't.
