-When Chan shuffles through memories, it’s like pulling out a box and shuffling through the files inside

-Most recent at the front, those are the most accessible. They’re usually what’s on the person’s mind at the moment

-Furthest back are the memories that the person has either repressed or forgotten

-The ones that are repressed might also be scattered throughout the pile, but those’d be the ones that stick to other ones or be the ones that are a bit shorter so your finger glides past it when you skim across

-Some might be crumpled at the bottom and you’d have to uproot some other memories before you can pull and straighten it out

-But Chan can access any memory, provided that she has enough time to do so

-Basically if it takes a long time to ‘search for that file’ it takes her a long time to find the memory

-She has the power to edit the order too: bringing some memories up front, sending some back, taking some memories out, and inserting some in

-Her own ‘files’ are a mess though

-Instead of a box, it’s a library

-She’s stored all the emotions/memories she’s gathered from mortals over the millennia in a really haphazard way

-They’re still ‘labelled’ by type (emotion) though so she can pull a random one out according to the situation

-Her personal ones are kept closer to the front of her conscious

-Memories from her life before her enchantment though, those are way in the back

-They’re just in a big pile with papers crumbled and torn and generally illegible

-Chan pushed them all there with the excuse ‘no use dwelling on the past, I like who I am now”

-Except now she’s stuck with her failed enchantment and most of her powers missing

-She’d probably need someone and an event to convince her to try and piece things together again
