Ooh, the backstory makes me think she could have interesting CR with Alex, who has no ill will towards organized religion but did live his life in hiding from an overzealous religiously-bent monster-hunting organization. He also has some mild supernatural abilities that he doesn't know are supernatural in nature and I will go fill out that opt-in form about those.

Blunt tactlessness won't be a problem, he gives middle-schoolers tours of the reptile house 3 times a business day back home. Children really are ruthless and do not CARE what the word "herpetology" really means.
