I just remembered that I once read a creepypasta about slenderman killing Hitler and it was actually pretty good. Grammar-wise and stuff I mean, but it was about still slenderman killing hitler :|

Also, @RoflsMazoy, when/if your character tryouts to draw a card, she'll find that the deck had already been emptied no matter how many cards it looks like the woman had in her hands at the time.
How would that work? Like, if I try to draw a card, would there just be no cards or something?
"Reiko!" A student called. She ran towards one specific table where another weary-looking girl sat. "Wanna go out with us tonight?"
The weary girl looked up in surprise. She had just finished packing her things and she looked like she was about to leave.
"Ah! Um, I was going to go to the library to study..." She stammered out, "I'm falling a little behind on my homework so I need to catch up..."
"You could always borrow just copy mine you know," The other student said with a huff. "It's not like sensei woould notice."
"But I'd feel guilty..." She replied "I can't just steal someone else's work..."
The other student looked at her for a second and let out a resigned sigh.
"Alright... I guess we'll have to go without you." She said. She turned and exited the classroom, while Reiko stared down at her desk for a while.
She always had a hard time keeping friends. She could make them, and she would never treat them badly, it's just they'd eventually find out she never went anywhere with them. Of course, that was mostly the fault of... it. She reached into her pocket and pulled it out.
She never let the Hanged Man card out of her possession. A little pointless, because it always found its way into her hands anyway. The main reason she never went out with friends was that she was never sure what would happen if she did. There was the potential her black outs wouldn't be so benign if there were other people besides her family around, so she made sure to be cautious. Sometimes she would find herself drawing it out without meaning to and she would black out before she knew what had happened.
"I should get going, I suppose... She said, getting up for her chair.
At least she never really lied to her friends. She really was falling behind a little, and she really had been going to do homework. She would have taken the opportunity to copy her friend's work really, she really would've liked to go out with friends for once. But if she told them her real reason for not going, they definitely wouldn't believe her.
Reiko acts happy most of the time, but sometimes it's sort of obvious that she has something to hide. It's kind of a sore topic for her because she'd like to be more open, but she's pretty sure people wouldn't believe her if she told them about some of the things in her life.
Background
Her first memory was the Hanged Man. She wasn't quite sure where she was at the time, but she was lost in the Hanged Man. A very early fascination with tarot cards had led her to pick favourites, which were the tower and the empress at the time. But the Hanged Man had always been odd for her. She was no more than 5 at the time so it's not like she understood their meanings.
The Hanged Man stands for martyrdom, self-sacrifice for the sake of wisdom, etc. It meant a lot of things, but essentially it represented pain and suffering. It was typically depicted as a man hung upside down with hands behind his back, obviously he would be in great suffering.
But her card was different. The man was hung and bound, but he didn't look like he was suffering. He didn't look like he was even in strife. It was a rather strange expression in fact, she couldn't figure out what he was feeling, or what he was thinking. The strangest thing about it didn't have much to do with the card though. Sometimes if she was studying it long enough, she would black out for a while, and wake up somewhere else.
It started just before her sister had died. It was her sister who had introduced Reiko to tarot cards, in fact. She had brought them home one day and showed them to her. She didn't actually seem to have a favourite, but she always seemed to linger on the Hanged Man. Reiko had always been curious as to why, but her sister didn't know either. One day she had taken it while her sister was out, to study it more closely.
It was the first time she noticed its expression, and as she looked into its eyes she felt herself get sleepy. The next thing she knew, she was at her sister's funeral. Reiko had no idea what had happened, it had been three days after she blacked out. Her parents wouldn't tell her how her sister died, and most worryingly of all they said she had been with them for the whole three days.
Amongst her sister's possessions, her tarot deck was missing save for the Hanged Man card which was found on her body. Reiko asked for it and it was given to her. After the incident, none of her blackouts went for nearly as long as the first. Only an hour at most. At first she was afraid of the blackouts, but fear came to be replaced with only trepidation as she realized they would never take her anywhere she didn't want to go. And over time the she stopped trying to solve the mystery of her sister's death. Instead, there was only a vague uneasiness left.
Powers
XII - The Hanged Man
When Reiko gazes into her Hanged Man card, her powers activate and she transforms. Her hair darkens, she becomes unconscious and something else takes over. Her eyes remain closed and she looks like she's asleep, but she still moves as if she were awake.
Reiko's unusual iteration of the Hanged Man stands not only for sacrifice, but also reversal and enlightenment; so to that extent, the main role of her power "Whim of the Hanged Man" is to profoundly change the course of a battle through various means. Her abilities are as follows:
Suspension: This ability manifests as something similar to telekinesis. This ability can 'suspend' any object into the sky as long as they are within certain limits. These objects can be just about anything moveable, including enemies and allies. While suspended the object cannot be moved by anyone other than Reiko, but she must focus in order to do so. This ability generally only lasts a few seconds.
Eye of Enlightenment: When activated, Reiko becomes able to 'see' everything within a certain radius. It's more of a three-dimensional awareness than actual sight, she would be able to tell you if someone was calling your phone and who it was, if you were within her radius and even while it was still in your pocket. She can also shift and change the radius to any shape she wants, her only limit is she only has 50 square meters of sight to work with.
Skills
Reiko's academic and sport abilities are relatively average. There's nothing to really complain about and sometimes she actually does well, exactly like a normal person would.
Equipment
Besides the Hanged Man card, she carries common things a student her age would have, plus some headphones if she feels like music.
I peer into the crawlspace and see a faint outline of something. It jogs something in my memory... That outline... WAIT. COULD IT BE... THAT? THIS CLOWN. THIS CLOWN.
