That short fight was intentionally short, to emphasize what this character can do, and this page is to show how frustrating it can be to have to keep it secret (I thought the ‘Man of Steel’ depicted that sort of frustration very well, despite its other flaws…). I’m trying to be careful, because it’s easy to have character that’s ‘frustrated’ be perceived as acting like an ass, and while a skilled writer can make an asshat character still loveable, it’s also easy for the readers to not like them, detest them, or worst of all, disengage from them!
I came across this fascinating read a while back illustrating this pitfall (along with a few others): How Not to make a Graphic Novel!
So… if you think my character is in danger of becoming an asshat, send a PQ, or say it here!
The DD Awards have Started!! Yay!
Life and Good Dreams!

"Cracking knees..." I love that line, it's certainly character building!

I think things will work out just fine if they find out! She's got insane powers after all at the end of the day!
KimLuster at 11:09AM, Jan. 5, 2018
Mebbe... She's certainly not all powerful!

Would be very frustrating.
KimLuster at 11:09AM, Jan. 5, 2018
Yup, but it still could be a sweet deal!

"I held back my true power." She must've escaped from a shonen anime.

With a seizure-inducing flashing background which then cuts to other characters gasping for three episodes.

Well, if she'd announced so in the most hammy way possible!! :)

Be vewwy quiet - I'm hunting...

Let them find out! I would do whatever I want in a forest world like this, thats just the way it goes. There are always goons wandering the open lands that are up to no good, I'm glad Rhiaan put that gang in their place. You live life different in a world with natives

Sho is Tempting isn't it!!!
Call Me Tom at 9:23AM, Jan. 4, 2018
I think the A'boraan are going to find out about.
KimLuster at 11:47AM, Jan. 4, 2018
So you think we're gonna see one of those things huh! ;)

Trying to do the right thing and helping out and screwing it all up. An asshat won't admit that he made any mistakes.

Or, they make turn their mishaps and faults into virtues! "I'm only insanely jealous because I love you so much!!" "I'm passionate about things! So if I get mad..."

"Cracking knees eases the mind!" Jeez, she's a ticking time bomb!
KimLuster at 11:44AM, Jan. 4, 2018
Well, at least she doesn't have a low self-esteem confidence problem...! Hrrmmm... not sure that's so good here!

I wonder what the social consequences of being super powered are in this world... I think "undo" should be "undue"
KimLuster at 11:44AM, Jan. 4, 2018
I suspect we might find out eventually... and undo, you're right!! Will fix tonite!!
