* TheMatchmaker: Saphy Dutchkiss fulfils this role unintentionally. She’s a ShipperOnDeck who enjoys writing romantic fanfictions of the people she meets in real life who she thinks would have good chemistry. Thanks to her logomancy powers that she’s unaware exist, she ends up actually pairing said people together.
** However, this power only works without drawbacks on individuals who are willing. Her pairing of Märchen and Hiddenite resulted in deep cuts down her hand and arm which would have eventually killed her.

->''"Märchen is a cartomancer, a playing card fortune teller blessed with the ability to provide accurate readings every single time. [...] Hiddenite is a mysterious wanderer with a literal world of his own that can only be accessed through his assigned piece of fabric; a curtain cloth. [...] When Hiddenite rescues Märchen from a brush with death, they form an unlikely friendship that takes them through fantastic adventures in a Neo-Victorian-esque world full of magicians, fortune tellers, and the non-magical folk that rely on them for prosperity."''
