Latona Maynard's powers and abilities

Primordial Fire Manipulation

Latona Maynard is a 17-year old girl who was born with a deep connection to the primal forces of fire. Since childhood, she could feel the ancient flames that burned at the core of the world. As she grew older, her ability to tap into this primordial fire blossomed. Latona has complete control over any fire that she generates from her own body. The flames burn with a mysterious energy unlike normal fire. They cannot be extinguished by conventional means such as water. Their heat is also far beyond what normal fire or even plasma could produce. Through years of training, Latona has learned to grasp the fundamental nature of fire at its most primal level. She can summon vast columns of the mystic flames or mold them into infinite shapes. With a gesture, she can engulf an area in an all-consuming firestorm. She can even breathe life into the flames, imbuing them with sentience and purpose. However, controlling such ancient energies comes at a cost. The flames take a physical and emotional toll on Latona the more aggressively she wields them. Proper mediation and connection to her power's mystical source are necessary to maintain balance. She strives to use her abilities judiciously and for the protection of others.

Nigh-Omniscience

Ever since she was a young child, Latona Maynard has displayed an extraordinary intellect and thirst for knowledge. She learns at an accelerated rate and retains any information she consumes through reading, study, or observation. As Latona grew older, she realized the full extent of her cognitive abilities. While not truly all-knowing, her mind operates on a level far beyond normal humans. She possesses a vast library of encyclopedic knowledge across many disciplines and time periods. Facts, figures, theories - she can retrieve them all from her superb memory at lightning speed.

Nigh-Omnipresence

While Latona has a physical form, her consciousness and awareness can expand beyond the confines of her body. Through deep meditation, she is able to perceive her surroundings from countless perspectives simultaneously. She sees through the eyes of every bird in the sky, feels the ground through the feet of every insect, senses the slightest vibrations through the air itself. In moments of crisis, Latona has demonstrated her near-omnipresent nature in spectacular ways. When a rampaging monster appeared in her hometown, she guided every citizen to safety through a chorus of disembodied voices. As an attacking villain threatened her allies, Latona dispersed her essence into a swarm of living shadows, allowing her to both scout the area and bombard her foe from all angles at once.
