Latana's power is explosion touch. She is able to make objects explode into pieces at even the most delicate touch of a finger. Thankfully, her main weakness is that it does not work on living things: humans, plants, and animals.
However, Latana has small personality weaknesses tossed in here and there. Her greatest personality weakness is her lack of self-control when indulging in things. These things include, but aren't limited to, drinking to the point of absolute drunkenness, hooking up, and controlling her anger on the rare occasion she becomes extremely angry, so angry that she becomes beastly and seethes with unlady-like rage.
However, Latana's strengths are great and there are many of them. The greatest of these, in her opinion, is that after years of internal and external struggles with her powers and trying to accept herself for who and what she was and is, she has a full and candid control of her powers. Unlike how most young people her age who would flock to the Xavier Institute for serious help, she mastered her power by herself and with no authority figures in her life. Even in her darkest of times times, such as after Jeremy died, she trained with her powers. Latana tested her powers first at the 15. She did this to see if her powers were real. She would focus all her energy on controlling the strength and even size of her explosions on certain objects - usually small objects or larger ones made of materials that she could successfully shatter into big pieces, which is more "safe" than materials that she couldn't control and could shatter into many small, piercing pieces that she could accidentally injure herself with.
Eventually, she moved onto making explosions with materials that were riskier, such as glass, which could shatter into a multitude of small, jagged pieces. And it hurts terribly when you injure yourself with glass. Even with those types of materials, she didn't injure herself. Not even once! She mastered controlling the very reactions caused by the explosive energy she channeled by the age of 20.
Another strength that Latana celebrates is her strong position as a celebrity. She has maintained a poise and posture in the limelight unlike any other model. Her aura is emits a fiery strength with vigor and grace that is not attainable by average means. She was born with it. In the eyes of the masses, she is a role model. They believe the fact that she doesn't like publicity or feeling superior makes her too good a person, and when she is seen in daylight, she has a unique disposition that is both slow to anger and bold. This is most visible when it comes to how precise she is with her wording.
In their perspective, she handled her brother Jeremy's death with such a pleasant calmness that eased the sorrows and pains of those who sent their condolences to Jeremy. He had a lovely funeral, and she gave an admirable dedication speech about her brother. To cover up his real death, she said that he had suffered from heart problems and had a cardiac arrest. Her voice was not sorrowful as she said that he was in a better place without his "heart problems" bothering him anymore.
Yet another one of Latana's stupendous personality-related strengths that makes her such a role model to the masses is her towering self-esteem. In the public eye, it seems that no one and nothing can take her down! She is unafraid to be herself with other people and, because of her prodigious mastery of her powers, is unafraid of hurting other people fortuitously. She can be talkative when the situation demands for it, chattering away with small talk about the shallow events of her daily life that she halfheartedly decides to partake in. After all, she must keep her reputation high, or else the entire world would be disappointed. Everyone is watching her and how she handles herself with her neverending graceful semblance.
Hello all! This concludes another chapter of Latana! The next and final chapter of this bad Mary Sue will be like an actual story chapter, taking place in her life but in third-person point of view and with more purple prose. It will have a serious feel to it, as she is a more serious character on a personal level. I would love it if you could review this chapter and give some constructive criticism if you can! I look forward to improving the way I write out these Mary Sues, so all comments would be appreciated.
