So... you have powers! I am well aware it is super played out and I almost didn't go with it but then I thought, "ehh screw it, it's my story I can do what I want". So your powers are based on modern day (more or less modern day) druid spells. Below the visual representations I have copied and pasted the exact descriptions of the spells from the official guide (you don't actually have to read the full description if you don't want to. Just the bolded) Of course, they mention such things as statistics and how long it lasts ect, and all of that of course does not apply here. The description is here for background information.

For example,

THUNDERWAVE/GUST OF WIND

"A wave of thunderous force sweeps out from you... On a failed save, a creature takes 2d8 thunder damage and is pushed 10 feet away from you. On a successful save, the creature takes half as much damage and isn't pushed."

And

"A line of strong wind 60 feet long and 10 feet wide blasts from you in a direction you choose for the spell's duration. Each creature that starts its turn in the line must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be pushed 15 feet away from you in a direction following the line."

I combined Gust of Wind and Thundereave to create this ability. Essentially, a burst of energy builds up and explodes around you. The blurring effect was inspired by Daisy Johnson from Agents of Shield as shown above.

The blur effect is also to demonstrate the difference between this ability and Eleven.

It is not necessarily with your mind like Eleven, but it is a burst of energy that emits from you:

The heated element accompanied with it is demonstrated as an indication when your emotions are getting the best of you and is a symptom that occurs when you are close to using this ability and thunderwave is not exactly something you can do on command and it's guided by emotions hence why it tends to happen in life threatening situations. <edit> for now... :)

Multiple examples of this have presented themselves all throughout season 1. If you can't name one now, feel free to go back and try to find them, there might be more than you realize. ;)

PLANT GROWTH

"This spell channels vitality into plants within a specific area. There are two possible uses for the spell, granting either immediate or long-term benefits" "...If you cast this spell over 8 hours, you enrich the land. All plants in a half-mile radius centered on a point within range become enriched for 1 year. The plants yield twice the normal amount of food when harvested."

Now having always been good with plants for as long as you can remember, it is not a surprise when you find that you have an unusual talent for reviving plants. I was extremely close to not going with this but since the whole "each party member is similar to their dnd characters" theme I opted to keep it.

It is a rather subtle ability that is deep inside you but it represents the core of your character and morals in this story. <edit> It most likely won't go much further than this. I played around with the idea but I didn't want too many powers, given you weren't in the lab yourself it wouldn't make much sense if you had more powers than Eleven, you know?

CURE WOUNDS

"Choose a creature that you can see within range. A surge of positive energy washes through the creature, causing it to regain 70 hit points. This spell also ends blindness, deafness, and any diseases affecting the target. This spell has no effect on constructs or undead."

This ability is arguably your most active and present power. It occurs naturally without thought, much like breathing. It has always been actively apart of you however it has not always been as obvious. <edit> It has gotten stronger and more effective over the years you became aware of it's potential during the events of Will's disappearance.

It is unknown if you can heal others yet.

-SIDE EFFECTS-
{EDITED AS OF 7/11/19}

As you may recall in season 1, especially after your discovery of your powers you had passed out.

This of course goes without much explanation. Having been your first time to ever exert this kind of power you were given a surge of adrenaline. This is of course normal in basic human nature. Some of you may be familiar with the concept of a woman having the strength to lift a car to save her baby, this was much like that. It wasn't until you weren't in immediate danger that your body collapsed from exhaustion. Though the more you use it the less likely you are too pass out.

You typically don't get nose bleeds when you use "thunderwave" but those root like veins indicating strain.

I chose this because I didn't want you to be a second Eleven. And I thought it'd look cool. Also, I had a picture (I do not own this photo):

>edit>> so I've done a lot of thinking as I write and while it's nothing big I just wanted you to guys to know I still am probably going to add nosebleeds or like maybe the reader bleeding from her ears or something when stuff is like REALLY intense. It just isn't going to be EVERYtime she uses her powers like Eleven, I just didn't want you guys to think I wouldn't use that ever. Cause while stranger things isn't realistic in all aspects, I don't want to completely ignore basic human nature, you know? Like if a body is put under a lot of stress and over exertion nosebleeds tend to happen, but I'm just not going to make that AS common as Eleven. Anyway I just wanted to come back and clear that up, so you might see some of that later idk

Given the common use of "cure wounds" there aren't typically side effects. However if there is a rather large wound that would normally have the potential to be fatal to any other, your body is quick to heal it and by doing so it makes you light headed, a little winded etc.

When it comes to plant growth, it is not necessarily you can manipulate plants but it's also not "you just have good luck with them". It is a balance between the two and it is a subtle ability.

The side effects include a little dizziness but that's about it. A subtle ability has a subtle side effect.

That's all, I hope this was helpful and not boring or anything.

Enjoy the story!
