So I don't know if ANY of this is usable or what exactly you had in mind for settings, I just kind of threw down all the bs I could think of. I understand if some/most of this is useless, or I might have misunderstood your meaning, but I can also elaborate on/edit anything that piques your interest.
Forgive the tl;dr I didn't mean for it to get this long!
She actually has a canon scene where she is possessed and feeds on the guilt of someone else while also acting on repressed resentment, which I'll link here IF you are interested in watching (obviously don't have to). You'll want to skip to the 5-minute mark if you do watch, and the scene is about 9 minutes long. WARNING: It is pretty graphic in language: ✦ HERE ✦
THE 411
POWERS that Im'mari may vibe with:
✦ divining fortunes
✦ memory walking
✦ mediumship/acting as a vessel for spirits or memories
✦ astral projection/realm warping
✦ compulsion/possession
✦ psychic attacks
✦ illusions (branching of psychic assault)
✦ summoning creepy crawlies (deathstalker scorpions and cobras are best connected to vanessa)
✦ compelling demons & monster-types (eliciting both fear and love)
✦ if Amunet is ever re-awakened (her future), the sun would be blocked out and pestilence would spread
GREATEST FEARS:
✦ being rejected/abandoned. being alone
✦ losing control of herself
✦ feeding into the 'losing control' is giving into her hidden self (Amunet)
✦ hurting or killing loved ones, or failing to protect them
✦ losing her faith in God (already mostly there)
✦ fulfilling her prophecy and summoning the apocalypse
GREATEST DESIRES:
✦ being wholly accepted/loved, the bad with the good
✦ having her love accepted/finding connection with other outcasts
✦ controlling her power without losing her identity
✦ secret/repressed desire of Amunet/Mother of Evil: summoning the apocalypse (look she's complicated). aka drawing the whole world into darkness with her so that she isn't alone, even if that means dooming most normies
VANESSA'S MEMORIES (fear-inducing settings):
VICTORIAN ASYLUM/WHITE ROOM.
✦ a white padded room where no one visits except to take her to 'treatments'. (isolation/captivity/torture)
✦ if too violent in resistance, or refusing to eat in protest, alternately force-fed with a tube while strapped to a chair, or gagged and bound with a straitjacket (torture/restraint)
✦ outside the white room, some treatments include: being submerged in extremely hot or freezing water in a tub. being chained to a water and power hosed with freezing water. suffering various injections. trepanning is the 'final' stage when nothing else works. (torture/attempted behavior modification)
HEDGEMAZE:
✦ spying on others secrets/betrayals and enjoying it. (guilty pleasure/voyeurism)
VICTORIAN MANSION ON THE BEACH AND/OR VICTORIAN THEATRE:
✦ betraying those closest to her due to repressed emotions. (jealousy/angst/sapphic panic)
✦ watching those closest to her die because of her, including best friends and her mother, thus indirectly killing them. a couple different settings here. (dark urges/guilt)
HEDGEWITCH'S COTTAGE:
✦ watching a close friend burned to death in a witch hunt. (grief/guilt)
✦ being branded during witch hunt and being left alone to grieve and recover. (torture/isolation/grief)
✦ giving into dark urges and acting out murders. (vengeance/spite/hate/violence)
LONDON ESTATE(S):
✦ linked above: becoming possessed by the dead, and Satan, during a séance, and calling others out on their own sins. (losing control/repressed rage)
✦ also losing control any time she is 'intimate' bc sexy times = possession doncha know. (guilty pleasure/losing control/repressed rage)
RE-CONDITIONING ROOM (THE CITY):
✦ strapped to a chair with eyes held open for hours to days, forced to watch a wall of screens which alternate between "good and community building activities" with positive stimuli, and "dark or criminal activity" with negative stimuli. (torture/attempted behavior modification)
BONUS???
I don't know if this can relate to anything at all or if it's something the monster can feed on, but Vanessa currently has a repressed memory of her time in the 'white room' at the asylum.
For some reason, she blocked out the memory of both Lucifer and Dracula attempting to seduce her to the dark side (Lucifer wanting her soul, and Dracula her body). The memory includes her temporarily banishing them by scaring and overpowering them with her own dark power. She has forgotten Dracula entirely for some reason (possibly because he's actually an incarnation of Amun-Ra).
