Blood Ink and Herbs
After winning her first game, Sandra’s tattoos started to change and fade. A thin, twisting figure that faded and faded, into the negative of a snake. Her tattoos begin to fade and whiten in places. It wraps around her arm, looping through where thumb meets index, the head resting in her palm near the corner of the cross. While she is healing others, the black outlines of the snake change from black, slowly shifting to a blood red.

Charlatans
“Unsettling are the days in which everyone is an expert.”
― Criss Jami
Nowadays you can't go a day without some phony prophet trying to peddle their wares to you.
Driven by the increased interest in the supernatural, charlatans from palm readers to televangelists are everywhere. And while the vast majority of witches, psychics, magicians, hypnotists, cures, potions, faith healers, and clairvoyants are complete fakes, they do make a living.
As the saying goes, "it's easier for an actor to make it in alternative medicine than Hollywood."
Most people scoff at these clearly-phony supernatural services, yet those same people often buy into at least one scam.
The most dangerous charlatans are the self-styled monster hunters who carry a mall-ninja arsenal and guns with silver bullets. Most have never encountered anything supernatural and do absolutely nothing besides burn some sage and patrol the area for a night or two. Even so, those who are superstitious, fearful, or desperate enough will hire them to solve the problems they simply don't understand. In some cases with disastrous results.
For Contractors, charlatans are red herrings and obstacles. Clumsy fakes that conjure a smokescreen of misinformation and escalate the situations they're in.

The Great Doctor
In order to be a good doctor in a less good environment, you have to be good. Not just good, but really good, especially if you hope to acquire any street cred. Lucky for Athena, she knows a lot about the occult and about the human body- perhaps too much, really, and she seems very blase about the work. As if it really didn't seem all that difficult to her.

Field Medicine
"If you can take a bullet, you can handle a few stitches."

Furthermore, the treated wounds of their comrades never get infected.
