Prelude
Part One: in which a bored god meets a reckless pilot and makes her an offer (she left a note)
Part Two: in which the trap is sprung, the conditions agreed, and he takes her home.
Part Three: in which she spends time in the forge
Part Four: in which she takes a gamble, stands her ground, and surprises a god
Part Five: in which the question is asked - what does it mean to be Yesfir Shostakovna?
*Part Six: in which she dies for the second time and is brought back to life*
Part Seven: in which she wakes
Conclusion

*Contains: ritual strangulation, reliving of death by carbon dioxide poisoning, animal sacrifice and ritual self-injury*

So, as of this plot, Esfir is now functionally alive/immortal. Should she 'die' again, Weyland can just reset her unless she asks otherwise. Her metabolism also works twice as fast, with the appetite to match. If your character is psychically sensitive, they may pick up something unnatural about her and/or the fact that Weyland has claim over her soul - the latter would be more of a vague, weird feeling that wouldn't make much sense unless they've also met mechanicalswans.

The symbol holding her together is a bindrune (her initials interlocked), stainless steel, and is impossible to remove without cutting Esfir to pieces. It's over her heart, slightly shorter than her thumb, and is the same level as her skin - while it could be seen under thin, pale shirts, it isn't raised at all. For how it'd look without her shirt, refer here.
