Known Powers:
Environmental Awareness: Ex, Joana has increased sensitivity to conditions in, disturbances in, and influences on the environment. She automatically maintains full knowledge of current conditions in her surroundings. This awareness extends to such factors as weather, chemicals, movement, and life. This awareness extends 16 Areas in Range.
Regeneration: Pr, Joana heals at an accelerated rate. With time, she could regrow large areas of lost tissue,if necessary, including severed limbs or damaged vital organs. Lost limbs or organs require a Red FEAT in order to heal. This Power relies on her proximity to the bioforce of the world. Devoid of that, it ceases to function.
Elemental Sheath: In, Joana may surround herself in a sheath composed of any natural material around her of her choosing. For example, she could surround herself in a sheath of wind (her particular favorite) or water (provided a sufficient amount of it was in her immediate presence), or even soil and rock. Her control is not so fine that she could choose to only surround herself with, for example, iron or admantium (if such was in her presence), but given time and development, this may not be out of the scope of her abilities. In any case, these sheaths all provide Power Rank protection (but are vulnerable to attack forms that gain a CS bonus against them).
Carrier Wave (Nature): Gd, Joana may summon elemental forces in order to fly or move at accelerated speeds. These forces vary, depending on her surroundings. For example, she could summon an ocean wave to move her at sea or the wind to move her through the air (her preferred mode of travel). She could even cause the earth to “roll” in such a way to move her, via “terrasurfing”. In this way, she may move at Power Rank speeds (60 miles an hour on land/120 miles an hour through the air).

Limitations:
-Joana's abilities work in concert and harmony with the natural world around her. Without it, she would be rendered powerless and might even suffer other, unknown adverse effects. How her abilities might function on an alien world or in another dimension is as of yet unknown.
-Her control over the extended Awareness is shaky at best, treat the power as Good in rank until learning better control.
-The same is true for the Elemental Sheaths, those are currently working at EXcellent rank only

notes:

  • In modern Greek folklore, the term "nereid" has come to be used for all nymphs, or fairies, or mermaids, not merely nymphs of the sea.
  • Nymphs are personifications of the creative and fostering activities of nature. In Greek mythology and in Latin mythology is a minor female nature deity typically associated with a particular location or landform. Different from goddesses, nymphs are generally regarded as divine spirits who animate nature, and are usually depicted as beautiful, young nubile maidens who love to dance and sing; their amorous freedom sets them apart from the restricted and chaste wives and daughters of the Greek polis. They are believed to dwell in mountains and groves, by springs and rivers, and also in trees and in valleys and cool grottoes.
  • They might appear in a whirlwind.
