Toby's blood magic has lots of uses, but the one that she'll be using most frequently is her ability to taste the balance of the blood. Or more precisely, to sense what species a person is by inhaling their... flavor? I don't know, it's weird. But it's pretty subtle and most people don't know she's doing it when she does.
In her world, she's only used the ability on Fae, since no non-Fae supernatural creatures have shown up, but I'm going to extend it to non-Fae here. She won't know what a vampire or werewolf feel like at first, for instance, but she won't forget once she learns. I'm gonna also say that different canon creatures have a slightly different taste, though not enough to be unrecognizable.
I realize that such knowledge can be pretty info moddy if not dealt with carefully, so I intend to check with other muns before having her use the ability. To speed that along, however, I have made this handy dandy permissions post!

Species: Mutant aka Homo Superior (aren't they pretentious?)
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Go for it! Wanda would find it reassuring to know she still doesn't seem entirely human despite her power loss, to be quite honest
Other notes: IIRC mutants are actually genetically engineered or at least the result of experimentation on humans in Ultimates verse so she may still get a sense of something LIKE human off of Wanda? I'm good with however you want to play it.

Species: Technically human
Character Name: Beverly Crusher
Species: Completely human
Character Name: Yuna
Species: Half-human, half-Al Bhed.
Character Name: Rue
Species: Completely human
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes.
Other notes: IDEFK what she'd get for the Al Bhed. They're basically human but.. different? IDK I am okay with you going with human with a slightly different feel for Yuna. As for Ashley, she's.. technically human? but her canonpoint has her as a Super-Abnormal, so she was genetically altered to have a lot of super-human abilities. She only has her super-healing back right now, but maybe there's a slight after-taste with her? like there's something weird locked up in there. Beverly and Rue are the normal ones of my bunch XD

Species: Asgardian (Aesir, I.e., distinct from Vanir if Hogun shows up)
Character Name: Joshua
Species: Transgenic, very canine, lots of different humans mixed in too
Character Name: Agron
Species: Human
Character Name: Kate Argent
Species: Human No Honestly
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Y/Y
Other notes: If you have a special policy for transgenics, I'd go with that for Joshua. Note that they are the product of mixing the genes of mundane (non-supernatural) animals and people, so sensing on them might be a weird jumble tailored to each unique individual rather than a distinct flavor common to all transgenics! Whatever you want.
no subject
Species: Homo superior (Mutant). Mostly human.
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Sure.
Other notes: I don't know about her magic, but Scott was, until recently, possessed by an ancient malevolent evil which altered his genetic structure at whim?
no subject
Species: Old One
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Go ahead! This kind of sensing doesn't exist in his world, so Will would be extremely curious about it if she mentions anything.
Other notes: Old Ones are very complicated beings. They are immortal magical beings who are born as human children and who live human lives for the most part. Will often claims that he is both human and Old One, both old and young. Its mentioned in canon that they are much like humans physically. And that physically the only difference between an Old One and a human is that they cannot die. It is in their minds and abilities and role in the universe that they are different.
Character Name: Conan Edogawa
Species: All human!
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Go ahead
Other notes: Conan is human, but was poisoned with an experimental untraceable poison about a year ago. He was supposed to have died, but instead he survived with the side effect of shrinking to the size of a seven year old. I don't know whether she'd be able to sense this or not. Since it is mentioned in canon that the poison was engineered to be untraceable.
no subject
Species: Human.
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Sure!
Other notes: Though appearing to be in her late 20s/early 30s, Tasha is, in fact, in her 80s, thanks to the KGB cocktail of the Super Solider Serum. Feel free to sense this somehow, or even the Serum (assuming I give it back to her).
no subject
Species: Human, but I think being the Dark One probably FUCKS UP the balance of your blood, so it'll be like... human and something weirdly non-specific but very powerful.
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes.
Other notes: I'M NOT BEING OBTUSE ON PURPOSE. I have no idea how she'd be able to read "Dark One," beyond... reading it as "Dark One." :|
Character Name: Nico Minoru
Species: Human, but ~magical~
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes.
Other notes: I'm also assuming having magic, especially since Nico's is SPECIFICALLY blood magic and is keyed into her blood would be something Toby would notice. And maybe they can bond over it.
I'm not filling this out for Juliet, because she's vanilla human, but you can still sense it. :||
no subject
Species: Vampire/Doppelganger
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes
Other notes: It's canon now that his doppelganger blood does special shit, so she would probably notice that too. So he's a little off from your typical vampire.
Character Name: Katniss Everdeen
Species: Human
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes
Other notes: None, she's boring.
Character Name: Dimitri Belikov
Species: Dhampir, previously Strigoi
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes
Other notes: You know this canon, but again, having been restored has done some crazy shit to his blood, so that might make him a bit different from Rose? IDK do whatever you want lmao
no subject
Species: Succubus!
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes!
Other notes: She'd probably be a bit like the Alex from A Local Habitation, but not all the same.
Character Name: Alec McDowell
Species: Transgenic - part feline, part human but not magical
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yes!
Other notes: IDK if it would even work on him, but I'm willing to give it a try all the same.
Rory, Bela and Neal are human and Buffy is ... Buffy, but I think she would still come off as human but mystical? IDK I'm good with whatever.
BEFORE I FORGET
Species: Pureblood merrow
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yep!
Other notes: His magic smells like brine and kelp.
CONVERSELY - he probably won't recognize "dochas sidhe" as far as a faerie species is concern, but if he heard her name would you be okay with Orlando recognizing October as Amandine's daughter since they're from the same world? I'm good either way I just want to figure that out before I post with him next week.

Species: UH he is half magical immortal wolf and half... wind? His mother was a wolf and his father is the North Wind. Whatever species that is.
Are you ok with Toby trying to sense? Yep!
Other notes: Bigby is weird because (apart from the whole half wolf/half wind (???) deal mentioned above) he is also infected with lycanthropy. It allows him to shift from wolf to human, so theoretically when he changes forms, his blood changes to that species as well. When he is in wolf form, he'll 'taste' like a wolf, but when he's a human, he'll 'taste' human. The... taint??... of lycanthropy will be present in all forms, though, like a virus.
