Editing Lisa Wilbourn (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Lisa is best described as a "pericog"<ref>wildbow:<br>Tattletale isn't a precog, but a pericog.<br><br>Toast:<br>"Pericognition:" the ability to know around things. I like that. She builds a framework of inference around the subject at hand, and her power fills in the gaps, working inward towards complete understanding. Except when she misses her target from the start and the circle forms in the wrong place, resulting in bad times for Lisa. -[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/10/cockroaches-28-5/#comment-41436 Wildbow comment] on [[Cockroaches 28.5]]</ref><ref>What does [http://www.dictionary.com/browse/peri- peri] mean?</ref>, or short-ranged clairvoyant<ref name="I14.5c1">As there's myriad types & conventions of, say, invincibility, there's a number of subcategories and focuses of precognition or clairvoyance. Tattletale, for example, could theoretically be classified as a subtype of clairvoyance.<br><br>So I'd recommend one not jump to any conclusions about what the thinkers out there could do to monitor the use of powers in relation to economic manipulation.<br><br>That said, it's noted in this chapter that precogs tend to be somewhat unreliable. I don't think it would be too ridiculous a notion to imagine them working in small groups, supporting one another's weaknesses and expanding on one another's leads. All it takes is for one to notice an anomaly and then the others can expand on that. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/10/13/interlude-14-5-bonus-interlude/#comment-4991 comment by Wildbow] on [[Interlude 14.y]]</ref><ref name="rating">"The one that is speaking is Tattletale, member of the Undersiders," Armsmaster spoke, his voice a hair away from being a growl, "A master manipulator, penchant for head games, likes to pretend she's psychic but she isn't. We don't know her power, possibly clairvoyance, psychometry, or some combination thereof, but we've got her pegged as a Thinker 7."<br><br>"Seven? I'm flattered," Tattletale replied, grinning. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/24 Excerpt] from [[Extermination 8.7]]</ref>, having the ability to accurately infer and extrapolate an incredible wealth of information from the smallest piece of data. She needs to have some information about the target to begin with, and from there her enhanced intuition fills in the gaps in her knowledge, allowing her to (among other things) crack computer passwords, profile and "cold read" people around her, and make predictions about the most likely outcome of a given situation.<ref name="Cast2"/> She's very accurate, although not infallible. She has to consciously direct her power, needing to refocus and starting again if she gets useless information.<ref name="8.y e1">- [http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/03/08/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 8.y]]</ref> She can become mentally overloaded if she tries to take in and analyze too much information all at once. Further overuse of her power leads to severe migraines, a common issue for many thinkers.<!--cite citrine comment in worm when meeting grue and skitter. Also find WOG that being constantly near Imp allowed tattletale to work around the mental block placed by scion. Cite comments in second seen cauldron meeting-->

It should be noted that although Lisa's ability allows her to extrapolate information, she finds extrapolating information about people very difficult. At one point she tells Skitter: "Reading people with my power is hard, reading into their motivations or emotions is harder"<ref>[[Tangle 6.2]]</ref> although this was while Taylor was still pretending to be an undercover villain and Lisa was aware of this, making it highly unlikely this was a genuine limitation. Still, her passenger drives her to try and reveal secrets.<ref name="SB1">A Tattletale who's inclined to pick at people's issues says just the wrong thing. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/15025466 Wildbow on SpaceBattles]</ref> Her power developed over the course of the story but she continued to struggle with headaches.<ref>A thinker can take several forms: <br>'''Endeavor Thinker'''<br>'''Domain Thinker'''<br>'''Complex Thinker'''<br>[...]<br>The lines between these cases may be blurred as the thinker develops their power. Tattletale is a case of someone who can ''push'', but who also taps into several upgrades. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/177P6wOpW-TwLQXbC5xdju6EIHhwd6TCZkK26WuiDIrw/edit# THINKERS], document by Wildbow.</ref> Following periods of intense headaches she was unable to use her powers.<ref>[[Interlude 11.a II]]</ref>

Like Taylor she has inexplicable finesse with a gun.<ref>[[Buzz 7.10]]</ref><ref>[[Scourge 19.1]]</ref> At a much later point she was even able to accurately read lips.<ref>[[Interlude 10.x II]]</ref>

According to [[Glaistig Uaine]] Lisa hosts the "negotiator" [[shard]].<ref name="I27">"Testing. Testing." It was a young woman.<br><br>"I'm here, Tattletale," he spoke, letting his power alter his voice.<br><br>[...]<br><br>"You're talking to the negotiator," [[Glaistig Uaine]] observed. [[Eidolon]] nodded. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/27/interlude-27/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 27.x|27.x (Interlude, Eidolon)‏‎]]</ref><!--victims include Grue, Armsmaster, Coil, Legend, NOT Jack Slash?, Alexandria, Doctor Mother, the Number Man even Khepri something to consider and extrapolate.

===Equipment===
Lisa keeps files and charts on many threats.<ref>[[Imago 21.7]]</ref> Her computer files are kept in quadruple variations with multiple inaccuracies between them, her inherent power allows her to intuit the correct information from it.<ref>[[Interlude 10.x II]]</ref>
