Powers
Cecilia is able to create a psioplasmatic field to defend herself. The process is involuntary, the field appears whenever Cecilia feels threatened. She also has the potential to use it offensively, but due to her lack of training this is limited, and she has only used it either unconsciously or in a surge of rage. Since the field is psionic in nature, Cecilia feels everything the field touches, feeling as much pain as if she received the attack on herself.
