## Powers and Abilities

### Blazing Anthem

Natalia's power grants her complete control over fire. She can manipulate the temperature of her flames, making them hotter or cooler as needed. Her emotional state can increase the intensity of her flames, making them strong enough to overpower even the most powerful barriers.

In combat, Natalia uses her fire manipulation to devastating effect. She can breathe out fire in the form of fireballs or stream or create fire whips to strike her opponents from a distance. Her flames are capable of incinerating even the toughest materials, including metal.

In addition to her offensive capabilities, Natalia's flames can also be used defensively. She can create massive walls of flame to block attacks or turn her body into flames to avoid physical attacks altogether. Her mastery of her power also grants her immunity to most types of flames, including explosions.

### Phoenix Style

Natalia's Phoenix Style martial art is a unique and devastating combat style that she created and developed based on her father's famed Dragon Style. The Phoenix Style is a fiery and aggressive style that focuses on close-quarters combat.

To activate the style, Natalia punches her fists together, which causes her limbs to be coated in flames. This enhances her melee attacks, causing severe damage and burns from the flames used in the attacks. Her punches and kicks carry immense power, often breaking bones and leaving her opponents with serious burns.

Natalia's Phoenix Style also incorporates a variety of acrobatic moves and flips, allowing her to dodge and weave through attacks while simultaneously unleashing her own attacks. She is highly skilled in hand-to-hand combat and can effectively use a wide range of weapons in conjunction with her flames.
