Or to manipulate another's thoughts in their moment of weakness. At first it's relatively uncontrolled, but by the time of the Final Liberation Rite, the Reader has enough skill to reach out to another's mind and speak to them instead of passively listening. Telepathy: Turns out, words aren't the only things they can read.Rousing Speech: You deliver one to the remaining Nightwings shortly before one of the final Liberation Rites.

Punny Name: At first the Reader seems to be just a title stemming from the fact that they can read, but they show an aptitude for determining people's emotions and motivations, reading them, which ends up being full blown Telepathy. No Name Given: As is common for a Featureless Protagonist, though notable in that all the other Nightwings are referred to by their names almost exclusively.

In fact, the reason why they're exiled is because they know how to read. Never Learned to Read: Inverted, as they're the only one who knows how to read in their group aside from Volfred, and the Nightwings purposely took them in so that they could direct them in the Rites.or you can simply choose to stay quiet or to say they don't remember anything from before, so they can end up with an unknown past, which will be lampshaded in the epilogue.
Multiple-Choice Past: Exactly who they were and what they did are questions you can answer with a few choices in text - they might be a crippled scholar, an old farmhand, or a war-orphan. Depending on dialogue options, their relationship ranges from mere companionship to a more explicitly intimate relationship. Maybe Ever After: Provided they complete Sandra's Trials and speak to her regularly, they can take the Beyonder Crystal with them back to the Commonwealth or in their travels around the Downside. The personal narration for it basically says "We gotta do whatever it takes." I Did What I Had to Do: If you lose the final rite against Oralech, when he hesitates to ascend, you can use your powers to mentally manipulate him into giving you his ticket home. As a result, they can receive several bonuses for the Rites. The Heart: Often helps their teammates through their issues and fears. Handicapped Badass: The player has the option of making them disabled as a backstory option within the game proper they're implied to have suffered some form of disabling injury during their fall to the Downside which renders them unable to compete in the Rites (at least temporarily). Even then, they will be fully cloaked and only their back and the fact that they're humanoid is noticeable. Featureless Protagonist: Only in the first image of gameplay, and the final image of the credits, will they appear. Deadpan Snarker: It isn't frequent, but in narration and dialogue choices, the Reader has their moments. Badass Pacifist: They don't even take part in the Rites, but their leadership is enough to make them a hero to the other Nightwings. In-game, studying the Book of Rites can grant global bonuses as the Reader's understanding of the Rites grows, or they can individually mentor Nightwings to help them better understand the Rites and the Book, represented as a large experience boost. Badass Bookworm: A given, considering that they were taken in for their ability to read. In the epilogue, if they stay in the Downside, the Reader will simply stay friends with the other Nightwings as they Walk the Earth. Of course, given that the rites are coming to an end for at least the rest of their life, it won't happen to this Reader. Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence: According to the Book, a Reader becomes the Voice to the next generation of exiles. However, Volfred and Bertrude have optional dialogues that make more sense with a human Reader. On the other hand, it's never clarified if Saps have legs and only root themselves during Rites, and whether or not the Reader would be a Savage or Nomad is impossible to clarify. Ambiguously Human: The Reader is heavily implied to be human, but could be a Sap note The Reader's anatomy is clearly wrong to be a Bog Crone, Wyrm-Knight, Harp (as they have no arms), Drive Imp, or Cur, and has not spent enough time in the Downside to become a Demon. It's possible for the Reader to express their attraction for Jodariel at one point, so the Reader's sexuality can vary depending on the gender chosen. Ambiguously Bi: Well, full-on Ambiguous Sexuality: There's some ship tease between them with Sandra and Jodariel. 
Rukey: She's a she? Can you people just tell?
