in seth's life
The Flyman is aware of Seth's death from the beginning, as well as the unorthodox relationship her cousin 'The Guide' has with rain. She disapproves of this from the start, but since Seth was under the Guide's purview it wasn't her problem if he let rain possess rains old body or not. It does, however, become her issue when Seth comes to her for help regarding Casey.
personality
The Flyman is a smug individual, only choosing to take the form of a cat to Seth because cats eat birds. Unlike the Guide she takes a very simple form so Seth can comprehend her, and she picks 'she/her' pronouns for no reason other than to be opposite her cousin. She's contrarian and strongly opinionated, and doesn't let anyone forget either of these facts. She's a stickler for the rules that she and other psychopomps supposedly follow, but when asked what these rules are she gets dodgy. She's lived so many lives and been a psychopomp for so long that she has forgotten what it's like to be in the cycle of life and doesn't understand why living souls are afraid of death or get so mad about it.
relationships
seth rioux♡♡♡♡♡
The Flyman doesn't believe Seth should still be in rains body after rains death and makes this abundantly clear every time they talk.
the guide❤❤♡♡♡
Though the Guide and the Flyman call each other cousins there is no love between them. In fact, the Flyman actively antagonizes the Guide whenever possible.
lord byagoona❤❤❤❤♡
The Flyman was a medium in many of her past lives and thus finds Byagoona to be an adorable kindred spirit. She takes advantage of the fact it cannot tell her and her cousin apart to confuse it.
casey ward❤❤♡♡♡
She's willing to help Casey to her next path since she has an aversion to the Guide, but she thinks that it's stupid and selfish.
eden reyes❤❤♡♡♡
The Flyman is peripherally aware of Eden and thinks her 'unfinished business' bit is dumb as hell.
relevant world lore
ghosts
Souls that live in the realm of the dead can interact with the realm of the living in limited capacities. Their interactions can include lifting objects, breaking objects, and even powering electrical appliances via touch. Ghosts that died particularly traumatically are influenced by their deaths. For example, Seth's body was thoroughly pulverized when rai died and thus rains ghost didn't have a physical form. This can provide additional interactions with the realm of the living, but it's usually just for flavor. Though humans cannot directly see them, some ghosts have very detectible presences. While poltergeists exist, most ghosts are simply peaceful spectators to life that haven't moved on to their next path yet.
reincarnation
Souls are recycled via reincarnation, but every soul is free to take their reincarnation cycles at their own pace. What life a soul leads next is not based on karma or the soul's own will, but instead on what the soul hasn't experienced yet. Souls retain all memories of their past lives, but cannot access them until they have reached the end of the paths they can take. Sometimes their past lives will have subconscious affects on their present life, however, such as a bird knowing a certain place is safe for nesting because a friend in their previous life that likes birds lives there.
psychopomps
Similar to ghosts, these entities are souls that live in the realm of the dead. However, their ability to interact with the living is even more limited than that of ghosts, as most can't even directly pick up objects or read text. They can occasionally brush against objects and people however, resulting in a cool breeze. Psychopomps are souls that have reached the end of their reincarnation cycles, having lived every life they possibly could. There's no 'nirvana' requirements to reach, however, it is simply a natural process. These older souls lead younger ones to their next paths. Due to their aged nature they tend to be very difficult for ghosts to comprehend, as they don't resemble one specific creature but rather an amalgamation of the paths they have walked. They not only help humans, but also animals as small as bugs and as large as elephants. Every soul is the same in the end. Since the reincarnation cycle has an incredibly vast number of paths to walk only a few psychopomps exist, and these few can often remember as far back as the first time life emerged on Earth. Unlike souls still walking their paths a psychopomp can remember all of its lives, but their ability to recall them depends on the ability of the organism that they were. Therefore, even though many can remember as far back as the first emergence of the soul, many of them cannot describe the experience to a human soul.
