Earth and Plant Magic

Balatte can magically effect earth, stone, and plant growth with an impressive amount of control and ability.

Hibernation

In times of emergency, pregnant female Niteshans can "take root" in natural surroundings, going physically and mentally dormant while drawing nutrients from their surroundings, and remain so until their kit has developed.

Psionics

All Asandae have the potential for psionic ability, but Balatte never gave hers much practice. With some difficulty, she can telepathically talk to someone very nearby, like the ultimate private whisper, but can do no more than that.

Shapeshifting (Dragon-Dragon, Human)

Like any Asandus, Balatte can shapeshift into a human form, and has also developed the ability to shift into two other dragon forms. Though it's a very challenging shift, she can change her body to that of a pure Niteshan, or that of a significantly finnier half-and-half Cascatan/Niteshan.

Seedling Reproduction

Every few years, Balatte's gemlike scales bloom into purple flowers. If they contract the pollen of another seedling-capable dragon, she could very well become "pregnant".

Verbal Speech

The ability to communicate in spoken words.

Water Magic

Though not nearly as skilled with water as with earth, Balatte can summon, control, and dispel moderate amounts of water.

Balatte is an unconquerable optimist and that's probably the only thing that saved her from falling into depression when she was abandoned by the bond she chose as a child. Well, make that a permanent depression. The abandonment hurt, but eventually Balatte was able to convince herself that her bond must've had a good reason to leave -- even if she couldn't imagine such a reason -- and that things would be better in the end because of it. Balatte doesn't believe in unhappy endings, or even neutral ones. Endings are always happy, no matter what.

Reliable and faithful to the end, Balatte has a sense of loyalty that some find admirable, while others consider it foolishly naive. She never loses faith in, falls behind, or turns her back on her friends. Her best friends could turn vicious, abusive, criminal, and any other number of sinful attributes, but she would stay constant in the belief that things will work out and turn all right in the end.
