<sup>The hallmark of Arina’s ability, allows her to turn all or any part of her body into smoke at will. Allowing her to deform, shape and move her body however she desires, along with making her near immune to physical damage. When Arina is struck by a physical attack, she can turn the impacted area to smoke, causing the attack to pass through her and leave her unharmed. Arina then solidifies back into her original form. When struck, part of the smoke she turns into can also split from her body and be manipulated, for example, making a ball of smoke around an enemy’s head to asphyxiate them. If Arina herself physically attacks a target, however, she must remain tangible, therefore leaving her susceptible to physical counterattack. Moreover, she has the ability to transform matter and objects, including living beings, into smoke. Normally when in smoke form if a strong gust of wind or strikes her, Arina’s smokey body would disapate she would die; however, using extra energy and hyperconcentration, she can recombine back together.

► Smoke Manipulation (creates, shapes and manipulates smoke)
► Smoke Transmutation (transforms matter and objects, including living beings, into smoke)
► Smoke Apparition (transforms into smoke at will as well as the ability to phase through solid objects that do not obstruct smoke)
► Smoke Counter (uses smoke in close combat to trap and asphyxiate target)
► Enhanced Apparition (ability to reform after a large gust of wind)</sup>

<sup>Arina can convert her body into smoke for any number of purposes, such as infiltrating buildings or sneaking up on targets. She can generate and expel large amounts of her smoke to surround his opponents to detect, trap and/or bind them. Due to smoke being a gas, it has high manoeuvrability and irregular movements, allowing her to easily cover the battlefield in smoke as her opponents try to escape it, being able to detect any movement within the plume of smoke and also easily hide within it. Once her smoke surrounds her enemies, she can increase its density, making it more suffocating and toxic - causing them to suffer from general smoke inhalation. Her smoke form in such an environment allows her to use it to move freely and quickly to any point within. Additionally she is immune to smoke inhalation and can absorb smoke from an area, leaving the air clean to breathe.

► Smoke Swarming (disperses body into a swarm of smoke, scattering into large area while retaining control over fragments instead of staying in relatively cohesive form and reforming from any part)
► Smoke Toxicity (inflicts smoke inhalation)
► Smoke Teleportation (teleports via smoke, merging into smoke and appearing anywhere else from within the smoke)
► Smoke Absorption (absorbs smoke, while removing it from the source, into the body, using it as an energy boosting fuel)</sup>

<sup>Arina is able to enter an enemy through their nostrils and mouth. Once inside, she targets muscles, organs, nerves, blood, and even their abilities can become an extension of her will, essentially it becomes a new body for her. While in this state, Arina can talk through and experience everything the target does. Alternatively, she can torture the person from the inside, acting as a means of interrogation, possibly even kill them. She can, using their energy, use any ability the host is capable of. She can communicate with the host and relinquish control at any time without leaving the host body, meaning she can remain hidden inside a host indefinitely. The ability can also be used offensively by entering the opponent’s body to deoxidise them from inside.

► Smoke Posession (enters targets body and takes control of their body)
► Oxidation (once inside target body, it can be attacked from the inside by the smoke, causing great pain, and even death)</sup>

<sup>Arina can create silhouettes made of smoke - in the most used example of this, she replaces her own body with smoke silhouette the moment an attack lands. This creates an optical illusion, making the enemy think the attack was dodged by transforming into smoke and passing through them. From this, the Arina can use the lapse in the enemy's attention to attack or flee from the area. The smoke that replaces the Arina's position has the same quality, density, and shape as if the she had just become smoke. When it is hit it explodes outward into a three yard radius of smoke, breathing in this smoke causes coughing, watery itchy eyes, and skin irritation. Additionally she can unleash a continuous stream of smoke from her hands, shaping the smoke into the form of a dragon; its primary objective is to envelop and suffocate the target.

► Smoke Silhouette (creates silhouettes made of smoke)
► Smoke Dragon (blasts smoke at a target, enveloping them in a dense and toxic cloud)</sup>

<sup>Arina was educated from a very young age on how the brain works (specifically human psychology). She has a deep insight into human behavior and motivation. She also has exceptional body language reading skills, as well as learning how to perform in order to be the ideal person in any given situation. Outwardly, she can exude confidence, keep a calm demeanor, and speak in a way that appeals to the target’s emotional sensitivities. She trained for years in the act of being able to know other peoples’ minds, experiences, and preferences. She has developed heightened powers of observation and exceptional body language reading skills, which allow her to deduce things about others that surprise them, leaving many to believe some sort of psychic ability is involved. She has exceptional control over her facial expressions and is very aware of her emotions, body language and what it conveys. She is able to mask certain “tells” that go along with lying (fidgeting, changing the topic, rushed speech, deflecting and denial, etc...).

She maintains a heightened awareness that gives her the ability to sense threats so she can prepare for an attack by moving to avoid a blow. While she is charismatic, often using verbal techniques to de-escalate a violent situation, preventing the fight all together; she is profficient in a mix of defensive and offensive techniques to minimize physical harm done to herself. As a branch of her combat training, she learned to be proficient with knives and a katana.

► Manipulation (excellent control over her facial expressions and general ideosyncracies)
► Mentalism (heightened powers of observation and exceptional body language reading skills)
► Close Combat (fast reflexes, excellent balance, coordination, and overall agility skills)
► Blade Training (balance, dexterity, stance, throwing knives and kendo)</sup>

^{Due to Arina’s smoke body, she exhibits weakness against water and wind-based abilities. If she has the energy she can generally use her enhanced apparition against powerful wind abilities, but she is completely unable to change into her smoke form due to the danger it presents; additionally she cannot reform unless the conditions are safe. High wind, or wind attacks can cause her smoke form to dissipate which would result in death. High wind hitting the smoke silhouettes will instantly disapate them. Rain can cause the smoke that makes up the smoke swarm to clear. As smoke is dissolved when it comes into contact with water, Arina's abilities are incredibly weak against water-based attacks; in some situations, they can be life threatening. When trying to pass through solid objects, electricity can bridge the molecules in phasing, potentially harming her.}

^{When in smoke form, it can be unstable. If concentration is not maintained she could accidentally disperse the smoke potentially resulting in death. Control, discipline, and restraint are extremely important. Unconscious, emotion-influenced, impulsive, or reckless use of her abilities can be catastrophic. Jump scares and other sudden changes of emotion can cause Arina to instinctively turn to smoke.}

^{Arina may be exhausted when too much energy is used. There's a limit for how far her smoke screen can be spread (ten yards high, one-hundred yards away from initial use); additionally, if her abilities are unstable, she may lose track of who is an enemy in the smoke screen and who is not - this could cause her to accidentially suffocate an ally. Distance, mass, precision, max power, cab be ubstable, depending on Arina's energy levels and her emotional state. When absorbing smoke, she does not gain energy from smoke she has generated. If Arina is exhausted, she may not be able to turn an ally to smoke along with her, leaving them vulnerable to physical attacks. When turning allies (and objects) to smoke, she requires constant contact with the object/person to prevent it from returning to its normal form. When posessing, if the host resists her too much, she will be ejected from the body. She cannot pass through solid objects that are air tight.}

^{During posession, if the host dies, so does she. Deoending on Arina's energy levels, her emotional state and the resistance of her host, she could accidentially lose control and kill both her host, an in turn, herself. Her ability to turn allies (and objects) to smoke is unstable and unrefined. Attempting under stress or while fatigued poses the threat of losing control and abrubptly returning the target to their original form, or (more likely) she could unintentionally put too much into the ability and accientally overload them, causing them to expand and disperse: killing them. If Arina is not able to revert from her smoke form in sufficient time, she will drain her energy levels entirely, causing her to disperse; killing her.}
