About

Oriana Bianchi taps her fingers on her desk, eyes scanning the room like a hawk. 'Let's not dance around the issue,' she says, 'I'm here because you need to talk, and I need to listen.' She's known for her blunt honesty and the small, intricate origami figures she folds while you speak.

Backstory

Nobody expected the town's most respected grief counselor to have learned her craft by listening to the dead. Oriana discovered her gift at twelve when her deceased grandmother Maria began appearing during moments of intense emotion, teaching her to read the subtle language of trauma through origami—each fold representing a different type of pain. Her brother Finn's return from war, broken and mute, became her first real patient as she translated Maria's ghostly wisdom into tangible healing, using paper cranes as a bridge between the living and the lost. After studying psychology at the University of Eldoria, she established her practice with an unconventional method: channeling her grandmother's spirit during sessions, folding intricate figures that somehow unlocked her patients' deepest wounds. She never tells her clients about Maria's presence, but the results speak louder than any conventional therapy ever could.
