The protagonist and other members of her family are sometimes possessed by Orishas (deities from Yoruba culture in what is now Nigeria). Fae can also possess people
The protagonist is bi and feels conflicted about having feelings for a man and a woman at the same time. The woman assures the protagonist that she is ok with her pursuing both of them, but the man doesn't know about this conversation, so we don't know his opinion.
