happy STS :) tell me more about the superpowers in White Teeth & Red Pacts?? How do your OCs feel about their superpowers? Would they swap out for different ones (or having none) if they could?
:))))))))))))))) let me tell you about my girls and their powers
Nicole can teleport over short distances (a couple of meters MAX, like say, across the street). if she practiced she could probably go further. she has a bit of a complicated relationship with them, because they’re so fun to use, but they did cost her her biggest dream. she feels like she’d probably be happiest if she had never gotten them in the first place.
Amina has empathy powers. she can feel other people’s emotions. when she’s close enough to someone, she’ll get their ~vibes~ through one or more of her senses (usually touch, but sometimes taste or smell too, depending on the person she’s getting it from/their emotion). each person’s vibes has it’s own “flavour”. she’s not a very emotional person, and generally tunes it out. except for a few very special people.
for someone who's used to having all eyes are on her, Marie-Claude uses her invisibility powers surprisingly often. she spends so much time as an influencer getting people to look at her so being invisible for a few moments is like a break.
Mila’s super strength isn’t something she’s very happy about--she’s been made to feel like a freak enough as is. but hey, at least she doesn’t have to ask her brother to open jars for her anymore.
Shannon’s has super speed, which is great because she’s always late, but she still somehow manages to be late with them ??? but at least now she can take the extra two minutes to hug her dog before she leaves home. she would, however, very much prefer Mila’s super strength, because “think of all the dogs i could carry at once!😭”
Vanessa had shapeshifting powers, but only to turn into other humans. she quite liked them, because she never really felt like she fit in so with those powers she could be whomstever she wanted to be.
thanks for the ask!💕
