The Haunted Child
Sensitivity before interpretation — the first consciousness formed inside the House of Fracture. Absorbing impressions without the vocabulary to decode them, feeling the ancestral weight before understanding its name. The body reacts before it understands itself.
Upright
Raw sensitivity, absorbing what cannot yet be named, early perception of hidden patterns, identity formed under psychic pressure.
Reversed
Naivety to one's own porousness, over-identification with inherited ghosts, unformed protection against what seeps in.
Iconography
A small figure in the crystal corridors, surrounded by reflections she cannot yet interpret, absorbing everything.
Mythic function
Excellent for origin stories where the character discovers she is sensitive to what others cannot perceive.
“Represents inherited conditioning: the psychic absorption of ancestral pattern before it has been named.”
