Temperance doesn't age, her hair doesn't grow, etc.  Presumeably, her hair would grow would back to that length if cut, but Temper hasn't managed to cut any of it.  It seems likely that being stuck in an immature body would eventually grow tiresome.  Despite her impressive resistance to damage, Temper is rather light and lacks any boost to intertia; she's easily tossed around by blasts, punches, and explosions.Temper has developed her destructive attribute into a variety of forms which generally take the form of scarlet blasts of "lightning."  As best she can determine, her attacks lack an electrical charge, though.  Her basic bolt provides her with an invigorating surge of energy as it consumes a living target - naturally, it took some time for her to discover this benefit.  By charging and focusing the power, Temper can unleash an annihilating bolt.  However, that wasn't enough for the violent girl - the highly focused bolt discharged upon a solid hit; she wanted an attack that could continue after punching through 1 target.  After some experimentation (shooting straight down), she was able to get the coherent beam she wanted at the cost of range.  The ability to fork and bend the stream of lightning came as pleasant surprise, although she underestimates the level of control she might develop.  And of late, she's felt the potential for a wide area attack but has yet to test it.  Still, she has no idea of the true scale of the lingering storm of faux lightning.  Temper's powers tend to be most easily used at full power and with lethal force.Temper's abilities require increased intake of food.  Of course, she can offset that demand by using her consumptive blast.  Even she finds this more than a little disturbing.Background:"I think I got my powers in a sort of dream, actually.  Are you familiar with the phenomenon known as Night Terrors or sleep paralysis?  Okay, good.  Well, I had been experiencing that for a few weeks, with the hallucinations of shadowy figures and a slight color shift - as if a watered down coat of red had been washed over my vision.  By the twenty-first night, I was fed up with the thing, so instead of just resisting the feeling of pressure, I dug deeper and sort of pushed back.  That's when my power struck one of the shadows and destroyed it.  The feeling of pressure diminished, and I felt stronger, so I shot the others too.  Then I woke up/recovered and was a bit different.  There were holes in the floor where hands were, but otherwise no damage.  Yeah, I know; my research indicated that the disorder is  not really supposed to work like that, so it was a bit weird.""I have some reservations about being part of this team you're putting together, but I would like the combat training.  I developed a good handle on powers by myself, I think, but testing their upper limits seemed difficult and imprudent.  And my powers made the hand to hand stuff my Dad and I were doing a bit one sided.  ...  Yes, I understand that sort of thing is a bit unusual - on the other hand, I can't think of a good reason why that's so.  Self defense seems to be most basic right of a person, since without it, all the other rights they nominally possess can be taken away without much difficulty.  Also, if all that is required for evil to prosper is for good people to do nothing, then it seems like it's the responsibility of moral people to develop the skills and tools to intervene should the situation require.  I tend to be quick learner apparently - my grandparents call me gifted and make a fuss, but I don't learn things fast enough for my taste - so maybe I was picking up those skills faster than normal.  Why?  I think it's been my lack of conventional education.  In my opinion, the school system seems designed to crush one's love of learning so that the general population can kept ignorant and thus oppressed more readily.  Hopefully, the results of that placement test you gave back that theory up."x[spoiler]The car ride was painfully awkward.  Normally she liked leaving her grandparent's house after the summer.  It wasn't that it was awful there, Temperance mused (of course, only her mother had persisted in using her full given name and she had died almost a decade before in automobile accident).  Certainly, their questions could prove somewhat tiresome.  And the vapid 'peers' they introduced her to...  But they were good people, and strong too - defying the prejudice of their times to both become doctors. xLeaving her father indefinitely would hurt.  Not leaving would be logistial suicide - the way her demand for calories had grown with her control over powers meant that continueing the way they had would be impossible.  Ending the silence x[/spoiler][/sblock]</blockquote>
