Aunt Heidi

Heidi’s metaphysical worldview is a foil to her sister Joe’s pragmatic rationalism. Heidi is extremely in-touch with the spiritual world. She spends much of her days meditating and is happy to cleanse the Mack Truck of bad juju by burning sage and organizing her crystal collection. She is a physical and emotional healer who is able to intuitively sense danger before it arrives. To Joe’s annoyance, Heidi has been trying to to get her to loosen up since they were kids.

Along with Yogi Hari, Aunt Heidi plays a major role in Kelvin’s spiritual awakening and coming of age. Aunt Heidi is the first family member to believe Kelvin when he starts experiencing the strangeness of his newfound powers. Heidi’s relationship with her sister is a dynamic one. Heidi discovers similarities with her sister in that most people brush off their theories as crazy or extreme. While she remains surefooted in her otherworldly beliefs, this commonality with her sister becomes an area of growth.
