====Emotion Resistance==== As Victoria gained her aura by triggering in [[Gallant]]'s vicinity,<ref name="SB2">'''Andrew Greaves:''' We know that Glory Girl is a second generation Cape, and the origins of her force field power are rather obvious. But what about her empathic aura? Where did that come from?<br><br>It's well known that second Triggers involve polling any other Shards within range and such, but does this also happen with first Triggers? Could Gallant have already been a cape and nearby when she Triggered?<br><br>'''Wildbow:''' You're thinking along the right lines, re: the source of her aura, Andrew. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14796522 Another comment by Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref> her power makes it difficult for him and some other emotion-based parahumans to read or influence her (e.g., Gallant,<ref>'''20:05 Ridtom:''' I wonder what Dean sees when she uses her aura? Just a spotlight?<br>'''20:05 Prothean:''' A really angry/impressive/sad/whatever person<br>'''20:05 Prothean:''' ?<br>'''20:07 Wildbow:''' Maybe he's interested in her because he can't get a perfect read on her - Comment by Wildbow on IRC, [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/17029118/ archived on Spacebattles]</ref><ref name="II1.5 eResistance" /> [[Crystalclear]],<ref name="II1.5 eResistance">As someone with the ability to control emotions, I was supposed to be harder to read and affect. It was why I’d deflected Crystalclear earlier.<br><br>It was why Dean and I had gotten along. Even why we’d been possible. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2017/11/25/daybreak-1-5/ Excerpt] from [[Daybreak 1.5]]</ref> [[Snag]],<ref>He threw a trio of fat shurikens at me. My forcefield blocked them, saw them bounce off, one landing on the bed, two falling to the floor beside me.<br><br>I kicked the bed to bring the more solid bedframe to where I could grab it, and rammed the end of the bed at the corner where he was. The shurikens detonated behind me, and on the bed in front of me. Something that wasn’t fire or anything of the sort. Something jumped between them, like electricity but not. Where it touched me, my heart jumped, my mind stumbled, and feelings welled.<br><br>All of the doubts, fears, and hesitations inside me magnified, multiplied. It paralyzed me for the moment.<br><br>This, at least, was something I’d been trying to get a handle on. Here, my resistance applied. - [[Daybreak 1.6]]</ref> [[Love Lost]],<ref>I could feel the effect of it, even from a distance. My heart rate picked up, and for a moment my thoughts and feelings spooled out. There were a hundred things I was holding in my heart and head that had to sit there. There were worries, irritations, traumas, and causes for outright ''fucking'' fury that I couldn’t do a damn thing about. Just being on the periphery of the effect made them swell up and jostle together.<br><br>Sveta’s arm tightened around me. I could hear the ''thump'', ''thump'', ''thumpthump'' of her tendrils against the inside of her body.<br><br>I met her eyes. I could instantly tell that she’d been affected more than I had.<br><br>I was resistant to emotion effects, because I generated them. Snag had hit me hard because he’d hit me where it hurt the most.<br><br>My rage? It was there, beneath the surface, but it wasn’t a weak point. It was a regular point. - [[Shadow 5.3]]</ref> [[Cradle]],<ref>I closed my eyes. I was aware that Cradle probably wasn’t keen on picking a fight with me because Lionwing had called his emotion power a kind of emotion reading or feedback response. If my resistance to emotion powers factored in, I might seem a little fuzzier.<br>[...]<br>But for the rainfall patter of Sveta’s tendrils on the walls of the station, we were silent, as we darted after Cradle.<br><br>He stood at the threshold to the portal, and he seemed genuinely surprised to see us. If Cradle wasn’t as quick or effective in assessing me and how to target me, it might have had to do with my emotion resistance. If he had difficulty with Sveta, it might have had to do with the fact that there were no veins for her emotions to run through, her brain maintained a different construction. - [[Heavens 12.9]]</ref> [[Roman]]<ref>I lifted him.<br><br>He used his power on me for just a second, inflicting rage. The effect was dampened, half-strength, but I still dropped him, and he writhed on landing.<br><br>We stood, huffing at each other, glaring.<br><br>I reached for him again. Again, he used rage, and my grip on his collar was fierce. - [[Last 20.5]]</ref>).<ref>The little benefits of powers, like Byron’s cold resistance and my relative resilience to emotion powers. - [[Heavens 12.8]]</ref>
