Illusionists and Souls

Cheyenne is an illusionist, a type of monster that feeds on the energy of humans by forcing them into illusions with their eyes. This energy is referred to as the "soul" due to the negative impact its removal can have on those fed on by illusionists. Illusionists consider the soul to be made of four distinct parts:

Length: A person's desire to live. The more someone is willing to fight to live, the longer it will appear when drawn out.
Strength: A person's willpower. If a person is strong-willed, they'll have a stronger soul that's harder to break apart and feed on.
Potency: A person's emotions and personality. Most illusionists feed on this part using illusions of intense fear.
Power: A person's natural stamina and energy. Comparable to an HP bar in RPGs, it replenishes itself with sleep and food. Cheyenne feeds only on this part.

Despite her blindfold, Cheyenne is capable of "seeing" by sensing the souls of living things around her, and can also sense general movement to some extent. Anything that is alive will have some sort of soul, except in cases where a character is canonically stated not to have one. She can learn a great deal about what a person is like through their soul, as each part determines what the soul looks like.

*Cheyenne's Curse

Illusionists are cursed beings. As such, she is unable to directly touch anything that has a soul without causing it great distress. Her skin feels like ice, and touching her will send feelings of paranoia and anxiety into the mind of the one touching her. The more intimate the touch, the worse the feelings are. These effects disappear the moment contact is broken. Indirect touching, such as through clothing, may cause similar effects.

Characters who are immune to curses, carry vampire heritage, or who are exceptionally powerful in some way may also be immune to the effects.

Additionally, the curse can be temporarily removed when Cheyenne has grown close to another person. The stronger she feels towards them, the more she'll be able to touch them. If she keeps contact long enough, her skin will feel warm, and she'll be able to touch others safely so long as contact isn't broken.
