Mystique

CHARACTER NAME: Mystique
CANON: X-Men Movies (Original Trilogy)

May Wanda read your character’s thoughts/surface emotions? Yes when in disguise, no when in her natural form. Mystique's own mind is extremely resistant if not immune to telepathy, but when in disguise she puts out a psychic 'blanket' of surface thoughts flavoured as the person she's disguised as.
What she might find (disguised mind): Psychic blanket thoughts: Tomorrow's laundry list, what nice weather it is today, whether that zit on her tummy is worth seeing a doctor about...etc.
What type of block: Beneath the psychic blanket would be a layer of painful static to discourage further probing, and underneath that is absolute mental silence. If Wanda were to scan Mystique in her natural form that's all she'd pick up unless Mystique were deliberately projecting.
Can Wanda mentally manipulate your character? Maybe? We'd have to discuss. Mystique's very resistant to mental suggestion, so anything Wanda tried to plant might not last long.
Willing to develop CR plotting around shared thoughts in future? Probably not, as Mystique doesn't like psychics poking around up there.
Further notes if applicable: Beware the lies Wanda!
