==Abilities and Powers== <tabber>Main powers= Sveta is incapable of controlling the strength of her tendrils which leads her to instinctively crush any stressor with them.<ref name="I19c1">The latter. It’s like her entire fight or flight system was overhauled so the response to any stressor is ‘strangle it’. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/interlude-19-y/#comment-13288 Comment by Wildbow in ][[Interlude 19.y]]</ref> This also means her power is reactive to any threat against her no matter the source.<ref name="29.7c2">She can’t kill herself, or she would have, it’s obvious enough. Her body would react and destroy external threats, even ones she’s trying to leverage against herself. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/venom-29-7/#comment-45067 Comment by WildBow] on [[Venom 29.7]]</ref> Her powers' behavior may stem from Sveta having little connection with her [[Shard]],<ref name="SB3">Some people have very little connection to their shards. Look at Leet - his shard actively sabotages him. Look at Echidna, or Sveta. You end up with disconnects, and stuff starts to stand out as the shard's behavior becomes more distinct, either in 'episodes' or a pattern of the power not cooperating. - [http://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/12852536 Worm Web Serial Discussion III : After the End] ([[Wildbow]], SpaceBattles.com, 2014-01-15)</ref> and it functions largely independent of her.<!--need quotes to sell how powerful and dangerous she actually is --> She also has notable durability, stated to be one of the reasons she was captured instead of killed when she was first found by the outside authorities.<ref name="29.6">Imp turned the sphere.<br><br>“Finally. Fresh air,” the girl inside said. She had a quiet voice. More the type of voice I’d connect to a shy librarian at a party or a sheltered preacher’s daughter in the company of boys.<br><br>“Sveta?” I asked. “We met on the oil rig.”<br><br>“She also goes by Garotte,” Satyr said. “The only reason the PRT didn’t put her down was because she’s rather hard to kill. She has quite the impressive body count.”<br><br>“Don’t say that.”<br><br>“She was part of the original invading party,” Satyr went on, ignoring her. “They attacked the Doctor, setting this whole mess in motion.”<br><br>“I could hear everything you guys were saying,” the girl said. It was only when she said the longer word ‘everything’ that I noticed the rasp to her voice. It would be part of the reason for her being quiet. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/01/venom-29-6/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.6]]</ref> The tendrils possess enough strength to bend steel bars. This makes computer use hard but not impossible with the right equipment,<ref name="RPG1">Very rugged design, kind of like Weld has his super reinforced chair.<br><br>Of course, she's not the only patient who needs a rugged computer, ergo her 'sister' needing to use it.<br><br>Drawback being that if you have a computer built for someone with a degree of super strength they can't wholly control, and worked so that the keys can be both pushed & pulled (with screws in each key for the tentacle girl to grip), sensitivity becomes a secondary consideration. - [https://forum.rpg.net/showthread.php?660599-Worm-The-best-supervillain-web-serial-that-you-aren-t-not-reading-yet&p=16549838#post16549838 Post by Wildbow] on RPG.net</ref> however she is able to use them for drawing and painting, showcasing her talent.<ref name="29.7e1">“I remember, you know,” Sveta said. “I dream of home. I was a fisherman’s daughter. There were these beautiful little huts with flat roofs, orange clay brick against gray mountains, with green-blue grass and ocean. It was cramped, and I had to share space with my family, my siblings… but I was okay with it. There weren’t any boys my age to marry, and I didn’t want to move to another town to look for a husband, so I just stayed by myself. I’d draw, and there was a peace in it. I still like to draw, I find it helps me relax… but it’s hard because my tendrils break the brushes and pencils. And then I don’t feel relaxed anymore.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/10/03/venom-29-7/ Excerpt] from [[Venom 29.7]]</ref> |-|Prosthesis= In her full body Prosthesis (see above) she is still has her full capabilites but can undo the joints of the form She is made of grappling hooks </tabber>
