Elodie Nicou

(a.k.a. "Glimmer")

(Introduction and backstory still WIP)

Powers

Elodie has acquired a large set of avian type wings, with which she is capable of short sessions of true flight (as they tire very fast), and powers which allow her to use small "fairy flakes" of light, which can be compared to glitter or miniature will-o-wisps that carry various properties and uses based on their spectrum of light color. She can direct these fairy flakes of hers in any direction at will, but they typically just float around her randomly when she is not controlling them, and assume the harmless, neutral pink color tone. Elodie herself is entirely immune to the effects of her fairies, as the flakes simply pass through her as if she were not present, and resulting effects from their abilities seem to not affect her either (such as the concussive force from her explosive fairies), but she still must avoid general dangers of her environment when her abilities have affected it.
There are limitations to her specks of light, as they can only travel so fast, seeming to be limited to a maximum speed of an arrow fired from a bow, which can allow some adversaries the capacity to avoid them when used against them. She can also only manifest the fairy flakes from three spots of her body: the protrusion points of the horns on her head, the center of her palms, and the secondary feathers of her wings (which is her preferred method since it provides the highest 'production' of the lights). The range of her flakes typically depends on what color, and thus what role they have, but her offensive types are generally only capable of reaching up to a mile from her current position before they wink out of existence. Finally, creation of the flakes seems to somehow be connected to her senses, and forcing herself to output excessive amounts of the fairies begins to adversely affect her eyesight, hearing, smell and touch, usually in that order. However, in a form of double edged sword scenario, the more fairy flakes she has manifested at one time, the stronger their effects become, as though they feed upon the presence of others in her vicinity.
The effects of her fairy flakes by color are as follows:

• Red - Offensive, explosive fairies that can detonate on impact, proximity to a moving target, or when Elodie herself decides for it to do so, all of which are determined by the pattern of how their light intensity pulsates. She cannot directly control the explosive power of a single fairy, thus in order to increase their destructive capacity, she usually clusters them together. The downside is if she wishes for something less destructive than a single fairy, as she cannot lower their output.
• Orange - These fairies are like compressed, highly focused heat, and work like ball shaped lasers, able to burn through just about any material with the exception of very few things, such as: osmium, liquid mercury, the crystal controlled by another empowered Altum known as Resonance, and the impervious Garanthe Romach.
• Yellow - One of the utilitarian types, yellow fairies are a kind of 'transference' effect, that are able to impart physical, mental or kinetic energy into an individual or object, as well as improve the mood or morale of a person. With these fairies, Elodie can enhance the current speed of an object in motion, restore an allies' stamina in combat or energize them beyond normal, remove mental exhaustion and sleepiness, or enhance the intensity of other empowered people's abilities.
• Green - Green fairies leave a trail of toxic or caustic gas in their wake (which type of effect it has is different from species to species that are impacted by the fairy itself or the trail it leaves behind, as some races are poisoned by it, while others experience an acidic reaction).
• Blue - Connected to knowledge, blue fairies are able to impart wisdom, or remove it from any living being they touch. Through this method, Elodie can make a temporary ally who is dumb as a door nail more useful to her in a conflict, or reduce the mental capacity of an adversary or perceived threat in order to benefit her in the short term, and even theoretically provide momentary self awareness and communication skills to feral beasts. Effects of the blue fairies are short, however, lasting mere minutes at a time.
• Indigo - Indigo fairies absorb into any living being they come into contact with, and effectively drain the target of physical energy while also flooding their body with melatonin, thus effectively working like a type of sedative or tranquilizer, putting the individual to sleep. Some individuals can resist these fairies if used sparingly, but enough of them can usually incapacitate any target, with exception of the Nal'tua.
• Violet - More utilitarian in mind, violet fairies are not bound by the 'contact' rule most of the other are, and are capable of imparting visions or out of body experiences unto those in their vicinity. These are somehow tied to the mental plane, and can assist in recovery of memories for those with amnesia, the calming of the enraged, or even the repair of mental illnesses.
• White - These fairies are capable of manipulating light itself, in ways Elodie is still learning how to utilize. She can make them get very bright to illuminate her surroundings better than her other types, make them flash with intensity like a flash bang effect, create strobes for signaling others, or even manipulate the light around herself or something/someone else to effectively make them invisible to the naked eye.
• Black - Contact from one of the black fairies will cause an object or individual to be briefly banished from the corporeal realm and temporarily reside in the astral plane. The banishment's time frame depends on the general quantity of fairies in Elodie's vicinity at any given time, allowing her to extend the banishment by outputting more fairies, or cancel the banishment instantly by unmaking all the fairies she currently controls. Use of these fairies can actually be risky for Elodie if she does not mean harm to an individual she banishes this way, as living beings in the astral plane can become targets of non-corporeal spirits looking to form into a Phantom.
• Pink - Harmless and randomly free floating. These are the default state of the fairy flakes when Elodie is not intentionally affecting them. When in this state, the flakes pass through all other inorganic objects as if not truly in this realm. They will 'bounce' off of living things, however.
