[@SimplyJohn]: So she's got a bit of ESP power?  Or can she read auras/energy patterns and the like?  I assume the "Fae-touched" thing was just a rumor, but we could say that she's been blessed by them or something if you want to.
The resistance to the fog could be a result of a mixed heritage.  That's not that unusual considering how many races are on this world.

Kismet's definitely some form of halfbreed, but luckily whichever of her parents wasn't human was also definitely one of the 'pretty' creatures lurking in the wilds. No orc or goblin blood in this girl. As to exactly what they were, no-one knows for sure, and to be honest given her talent for keeping her secrets to herself I don't think anyone's too worried about finding out. There's nothing overtly magical about her though, and she has no great mystical powers bestowed on her due to her heritage, other than a slight resistance to hostile magics and charms, such as the Fog.

Her Empathic powers are a mixture of aura-reading, psychology and body reading, partly due to her natural affinity but mostly from her upbringing dealing with 'completely honest and pure-hearted tradesmen'. She can usually pick up when someone is lying to her based on the changes in the way their eyes move and other subtle gestures most people wouldn't notice, this does require her to be at quite close range to the person to work though, since seeing the body language would be important.

The Portal Sense ability also ties into the aura-reading to a degree, as Kismet can read the natural energies of locations as well as people. This is all subconscious for her though, and usually manifests as an uneasy feeling whenever she's near a weak point between worlds, which would occur just prior to an actual breach.
