I’ve been trying to figure out for quite a while now what peyton’s (My OC and Klaus’ best friend 😅) power could be. Oh and before I forget, her full name is Peyton Lovelis 😊 (I’ve been struggling to come up with a last name for her lol) So, I thought maybe she could be immortal. But Klaus in the comics has that ability. I thought maybe telepathy but, it just didn’t feel like that would be right for her. So I’ve been trying to come up with something that I felt would fit her. And since she’s kind of similar to me, I thought about her possibly being an empath. (Whether you believe in that or not, which is totally okay if you don’t, I feel that I am an empath. There’s a lot of reasons as to why I feel that way but that’s not important right now lol) So her ability is empathy/pathokinesis. She can sense, feel and understand people’s emotions and can manipulate emotions. When she was younger, she knew she could feel others emotions but she didn’t know she could manipulate them. Being an empath made her pre-teen and teenage years tough. Not only was she dealing with her hormones changing, depression and anxiety, but she was also dealing with taking on the emotions of anyone she was physically close to. Not knowing how to process or cope with all of these emotions, Peyton struggled a lot with her mental and emotional health. I have a lot more ideas for her, but this is what I’ve come up with so far. My thought was she didn’t know as a young child that empathy/pathokenises was her ability. She was just always thought of and seen as an overly emotional and very sensitive child. I’m not exactly sure how she’s going to find out that this is her ability. I’m still trying to work that out. But with Peyton taking on and feeling other’s emotions, she can truly understand how Klaus feels and what he goes through. Peyton is someone that Klaus doesn’t have to really open up to because she can sense and feel what they feel. She can truly understand all of the pain Klaus feels regularly and she doesn’t judge him for how they cope with everything. She feels that if she were in their shoes and had that ability, she would most likely handle it and cope the exact same way. And sometimes, she would cope with her struggles caused by her abilities the same way. Klaus wanted to help her so she didn’t have to feel everything that she was because he understands that sometimes everything can feel like it’s too much, can be extremely overwhelming and so draining. Klaus being able to have someone who understands them so well and accepts them for who they are, would mean everything to them! So they have a very close and have a strong bond with Peyton. 🖤 There’s obviously a lot more I want to cover and dive into with their friendship, but I figure I can do that as I start to write more and get a better feel for who Peyton is on her own. I just thought I would share a little bit of what I was thinking and came up with. I’m really excited about this! Hopefully anyone who reads this will like this 😊 I know it’s not a super unique power/ability, but I wanted to give Klaus someone who they could truly be themself with, who would just love Klaus unconditionally for who she is and who truly knows them better than anyone 💙 Klaus deserves to have someone like that and needs to have someone besides just ben who gets to see every side of her. (I use he/she/they pronouns for Klaus, btw. 😅) So yeah, this is what I have so far 😊 If anyone has any requests for these characters, please feel free to let me know! 😊 Also, my grammar is a work in progress so please bear with me 😅 I struggled with grammar in school and haven’t written anything like this since then 😅 (It’s been almost 9 years lol.) And honestly, I haven’t ever written anything like this before so I apologize in advance for it possibly being kind of rough. I plan on asking someone to read whatever I’m writing as I write it, so I can get critiques and constructive criticism and so it can help me get better at this 😅 I hope all of this makes sense and I’m sorry for rambling 💙
