Minor

Local Plant Sense - best with water plants and algaes, can tell the health and location of plants within about 50 meters

Interrupt Psionics (PR 2-5 complete, 0-1 check) - close range, best with touch, can prevent Minor tier powers from completing, and can with concentration attempt to disrupt Major and Special provided their users are of lower PR than she is

Genius (compunded +45)* - both sides of her family have strongly enhanced intelligence and this shows in her positively brilliant work on genetic engineering!

Chemical (Gasses) Breathing - unlike many amphibious creatures, she is almost entirely immune to the effects of gasses that might otherwise poison or kill, including skin-based applications (since... she can breathe through her skin if needed)

Under Water Survival - she is semi-aquatic, an amphibian which is rather rare on Zekira, her lineage was spliced long ago, and continues to be selected for such things. She can breathe clean fresh water but has trouble if there is any gunk in it, including pesticides or pollutants - even if she can walk through a cloud of the stuff while it's being sprayed on plants, she doesn't do well with raw sewage or buckets of poisons... Her skin does require moisture though that can be in the form of mist and the occasional dive into the warm shallow waters near her estate. She can see, hear, detect life and plants, and other such things far better when she is immersed. (Darn shame she can't use her genetic equipment while under water... yet.) She prefers warm or at least not very-cold water, does not do well in chilly environments and can't swim in icy water as she just shuts down if it's that cold

Genetic Manipulation (mainly aquatic, human, dragon, animal) - with proximity she can detect and analyze in detail the genes of humanoids, dragons, and aquatic creatures of any sort. While she can do so to non-aquatic splices or non-watery creatures, her ability really shines with the watery addition! She is capable of isolating genes on a cell sample and hooking them back up with other samples even without the use of splicing machines, which has definitely caught the eye of a fair few other Peridian. In time, she likely will be able to use her powers on samples outside of devices that would otherwise mean she'd have to be on land or in a lab, but she is still young and experimenting with the ability (safely, and legally!). She can use this as an attack if needed but only with touch - she knows this, because she's fended off sea life that thinks she's snack-sized...

Coordinate Dragon Powers (best with aquatic or swamp, offworld) - having been exposed since an early age to the swamp and sea dragons in the Kuan waters around her mother's estate, it was obvious that she could sense and discern their abilities as well as their genes. When Yu'oyia was around more than three such creatures, she realized how they could be best put to tasks by talented Dragon Masters. Since her favored Zekiran-bred dragons are highly intelligent, she tends not to 'force' anything with either Sea or Swamp dragons, and would prefer they understand their own abilities first, she's all about options! This does impact her ability to suggest where to go with a teleporting dragon, and they can be found swimming (mainly, she's thrilled when they fly but she is a little scared!) with a whole pod of her local dragons. If there is no immediate danger to anyone, she'll coordinate teams for thrill rides and earns quite a bit of money from those lunatic Zekirans willing to put on diving gear and swim with dragons...

Amphibious (Axlotl) - a suite of features present in at least three generations on either side of her family. These features come as a package deal, and any of her offspring even spliced will have some aspects of them together with Underwater Survival traits above. She does prefer insects and small fish as food, but suffers no problems if she just sits at the table with whatever else including wines and grains

- Skin, she breathes not only with lungs and external gills, but can also breathe through her skin as long as the water is clean. Her chest is covered in loose and flowing lobes which strongly aid her water breathing and sensory abilities. Her skin is fainly squishy and definitely comes off as 'too moist for a normal person' if touched. However, it also heals very quickly, *a feature which helps her survive as long as she has, and will increase her lifespan because yes, she...

- Regeneration, can regenerate whole limbs, and heals very quickly from puncture or cutting wounds. Her bones are slow to regrow but will do so over time, and she has tested out how quickly she could regrow - in theory - a leg or her tail (about 4 months to fully restored with concentrated effort, up to 2 years without concentration daily). This operates constantly for internal health, as well as being able to shrug off small cuts or bruises and any bits of her sensory lobes that might get pierced or cut off

- ^Small Size, she is about half the size that you'd expect someone with the stats she has, she is about the size of a child; this does also impact her strength, agility, and overall body type

- Medium Tail, complete with added sensory equipment, she can use this tail to easily speed away in calm water, and keep herself stable in tidal pulls

- Sensory Mutations: ears, antennae/lobes, added tail; these additions are quite functional in multiple ways, including aiding her water-breathing. She can hear and sense vibrations with those on her head, smell with the added fern-like ones behind her jaws, and detect nearby electrical impulses with those on her tail (must be within about 4 meters)

Affected by Aquatic Powers - if they would be aimed at any aquatic creature or sea/swamp dragon, she is targeted and those powers may have some strange effects. This is a Major disadvantage level, though she can still fight off those random and usually inadvertent attacks by using her Negation ability

Slow Growth Rate - even if she is from a line of very-long-lived people, they also visibly mature slowly. At her current age, she still looks like a child in addition to being the size of one. It's unlikely that she'll ever look 'old'. This means she suffers a bit of social disparagement among anyone that doesn't care for children, people do assume she's just a kid and not, you know. The owner and operator of a very advanced genetic lab in the middle of the ocean... It does also affect her regenerative properties, though she actually cannot be killed save if something eats her head or more than 60% of her mass. She had been missing several fingers of her left hand for about 2 years as a kid, but mainly because she kept snipping off bits to feed to her pets... she has since learned not to do that >_>

Mad Scientist Is Mad - crazy mad, not angry! Even if she's got a fairly high Sanity score, she does have a few really weird behaviors, all of which come back around to the 'if I experiment on myself first, I will know it's safe for others!' mentality. While she definitely means well, it does sometimes put people off when she, as that precocious kid, would let an animal bite off part of her finger and she'd just giggle like it tickled... She is still very apt to 'do it first' rather than experiment on others, and she disdains those who would use their Budak or whoever for 'learning more about how injuries work'. That's not cool, yo.

Yes her skills are off the charts high, because she's that smart and it all comes naturally
