Personality
Ever vigilant, TA always keeps an eye out for injustices that require swift kicks about the head and neck. Unfortunately, being a member of three wiccan covens, four GLBT support groups, two animal liberation organizations (one violent, one not), the NAACP, ACLU, NOW, the Communist party and at least sixteen assorted non-profit groups, TA tends to see injustice in everything from Longbow's hiring practices to the lack of wheelchair accessibility in the Hive. This makes her incredibly self-righteous, even more argumentative and quick to anger about darn near everything. Fortunately she's usually a bit more mellow around the Jerks because hey, they all work for the guy that runs the Earth. That's pretty damn eco-friendly, right there.
At the same time, she shows an incredible empathy towards nature and wildlife, to such a degree that she is frequently seen giving hugs to the minions of the Devouring Earth[1]. So basically, her personality can be summed up with "nature good, humans bad," usually taken to such extremes that even the vengeful spirits of nature start politely asking her to tone it down a bit so she doesn't make them all look bad.
Abilities
Incredible Health
Due to a steady diet of all-natural foods, dietary supplements, herbal remedies, soy and all that other hippy crap, TA is healthy. No, really healthy. Really, really healthy. Like, "get hurt and heal in a matter of seconds" healthy. This is fairly odd when you consider that she is for all intents and purposes a normal, average human being, but the definition of "normal" is repeatedly brought into question in Paragon City so most folks just smile and nod[2].
It may be possible to reproduce these effects, but to date nobody has tried because nobody can stand to eat that much tofu and lentils regardless of what kind of superpowers one might gain from them.
Hippy Aura Powers
Through meditation, study of the eastern arts, wicca or some other thing possibly involving auras or the Kaballah or whatever, TA has acquired an incredible level of spiritual self-awareness. While this aids her greatly in her practice and use of martial arts to fight crime (see below), it also enables her to fly[3].
People have criticized her for squandering spiritual enlightenment in such a frivolous manner, only to quickly quiet down once they stop to consider that maybe that's one of the perks of finding peace in the universe and nobody ever claimed the Buddha couldn't fly, so hey.
Kalaripayattu
The master could not be reached for comment on how TA is currently using her training.
Footnotes
- ↑ This rarely, if ever, ends well.
- ↑ This incredible health may be what keeps the Devouring Earth from turning her into a Devoured whenever she goes all PDA on them. You know, just in case you were wondering about it.
- ↑ If you think reading that ridiculous, try writing it.
Fat-cat corporations have a history of editing Wiki pages that portray them in a less than perfect light, concealing the ugly truth that they're afraid of letting other people see. It's disgraceful!
