Powers
Tavy can manipulate the shape of
metal, whether that's sharpening it to an edge, flattening it to a disc, drawing it into a wire, or squishing it into some bizarre avant-garde desk sculpture. She can manipulate the shape of any metal she comes into contact with, though alloys are more difficult for her than pure elemental metals. The more complex the alloy, the more difficult it is for her to reshape. Tavy does need to be in close contact with at least part of the metal to reshape it - her powers work through paint or tarnish, but not across a room. The changes are permanent once set. She cannot change the properties of the metal - iron will always be iron and have its own properties, steel will always be steel and have the properties of steel. Her ability seems to work through the malleability and ductility properties inherent in all metals.
As a small child, Tavy originally thought she was
psychic, because her first introduction to her powers came through imitating the
Psychic Showdown arc of her favorite cartoon. Bending spoons turned out to be easy! Unfortunately, Tavy never got the hang of telepathy or telekinesis or any of the other psychic powers she was supposed to have.
Equipment
Aluminum foil - a full roll in a box, good for detail work or any sudden baking needs.
Copper pipe - hollow, probably a leftover from a plumbing project somewhere. Surprisingly conductive!
Steel-toed boots - OSHA certified safety!
Silver barette or
silver hair ornaments - stylish and functional!
Gold pocketwatch on a
gold chain - it doesn't work.
Platinum charm bracelet - a gift, with a charm for every year. Don't lose it.
Iron mask - wrought filigree, a dark delicate face-obscuring lace.
