To clarify: she is a remake of an older character who's been through a few incarnations, and was blind in all of them. She is also a psychic in all of them, so for this version I figured the Echo would be a nice substitute for psychic powers.
@Nimahrie: If she has the Echo, maybe that contributes to spidey aether sensing? I do picture it as similar to "aura sight" - in that she can pinpoint the source of aether and use that to orient herself. Lore says it exists in all things, so it makes sense to use that. I figure magic studies and Echo could be enough to excuse it. But I do want it to be a disability, so I wanted busy places to be disorienting since the aether would be all over the place.
@Sinmal: I think the hardest part for me to play as an able-bodied person is figuring out how she would go about things without eyesight. I suppose having aether sensing work like an "aura sight" type thing like Nimahrie suggested would make it at least a bit easier for me to understand how she interacts with the world.

@LandStander: That is what I was thinking! Except summarized much more neatly.
Thanks for the comments, guys! This aether "vision" sounds like a good way to pull it off without making the blindness totally pointless.
