Editing Night (section)

==Abilities and Powers==
Dorothy can transform into a horrifying monster when unseen. This is summed up by [[Tattletale]] as an inversion of the [[Manton Effect]], a psychological block to prevent others from seeing her true form, though she admits that this explanation was incorrect.<ref name="7.9e1">“What the fuck is this woman?” I asked, “Tattletale?”<br/><br/>“You know how the [[Manton effect]] could maybe be a psychological block that comes parceled with our powers?”<br/><br/>I nodded, once.''<br/><br/> ''“Okay, well, imagine that this woman got powers that let her turn into something so wrong that she’s got some sort of mental block that keeps her from transforming if anyone can see.  Maybe because she’s so ashamed of being seen like that.  When nobody’s looking, though, she’s a monster.  Lightning fast and all sharp.”<br/><br/>“That’s…”<br/><br/> “Not even remotely close to the truth,” Tattletale confessed.  “But it’s the best I can offer you.  Don’t take your eyes off her.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/14/buzz-7-9/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.9]]</ref> Whenever Night reverts back to her human form she is instantly healed, effectively 'resetting' any damage she takes and restoring her to a "pristine" state.<ref name="Cast1">'''Night''' – Wife to Fog, dresses herself in a black cloak and heeled boots.  Serves under Purity.  When not directly observed, heals herself to pristine condition and becomes a durable monster with enhanced speed and strength. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref>
===Breaker State===
Dorothy's monster form has inhuman speed, strength, and durability from the nigh-invincible exterior<ref name="Cast2" /> of an amorphous "ink blot" body<ref name="7.10">[[Buzz 7.10]]</ref> that is paradoxically composed of sharp edges and has many long, insect-like<ref name="Cast2" /> legs that end in claws. Taylor described her as a "multi-legged, hyper-agile, lightning quick death blender of blades and claws".<ref name="15.2" />

These angular legs do not have proper joints, but can bend and stretch and turn inside out as it moves around. This allows Night to avoid being tripped.<ref name="15.2" /> Her body was seemingly covered in some sort of oily lubricant.<ref name="7.10" />

Based on the admittedly inexpert opinion of [[Taylor]], this form does not have any identifiable sensory organs analogous to sight or hearing. This does not seem to impede her, however.<ref name="15.2" /> A lack of oxygen and high pressure does not seem to impede Night's Breaker state, as she stayed completely underwater, out of sight, guarding the meeting place where the Brockton Bay parahumans gathered to discuss the arrival of a new [[Slaughterhouse Nine|S-Class]] threat to Brockton Bay.<ref name="12.2">Night stepped out of the lake, between our parked boats and onto the roof, water streaming from her cloak. Had she been the just-in-case measure if an incoming boat hadn’t known the signal? She would be invisible in the pitch black gloom beneath the water’s surface, which would mean she wasn’t in her human form. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/30/plague-12-2/ Excerpt] form [[Plague 12.2]]</ref>. This raises questions concerning the amount of time Night can stay in her alternate state.

Dorothy's monstrous form has horrendous strength and speed, with more than enough to incapacitate any of Bitch's dogs, shattering their protective bone plating. Although her blades left cuts wider than [[Taylor]]'s handspan.<ref name="7.9" /> Night is able to achieve high speeds in this form, but is able to make sharp turns unhindered by momentum and navigate obstructing obstacles easily.<ref name="15.2" /> It was so fast that Taylor briefly thought she had teleported.<ref name="7.9" />

It is unclear if her transformation is psychological or physical; [[Skitter]]'s swarm-sense does not trigger the effect, only conventional sight.<ref name="Cast2" /> 
===[[Power Classifications]]===
Night and Fog's PRT classifications are given in [[Sentinel 9.1]] as "a Breaker 9" and "a [[Shifter]] 8 with Stranger 3", but it is unclear in the chapter which rating refers to which character.<ref name="9.1 e1">“And this second group, The Pure, is the second offshoot of that Aryan group, I take it?”<br/><br/>“Small but powerful.  Their leader, Purity, is a Blaster 8 and Mover 4.”<br/><br/>“Yeah, there’s a Breaker 9, a Shifter 8 with Stranger 3 and a Master 6 in that group?  I buy that they’re powerful.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/03/cell-9-1/ Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.1]]</ref> Later comments by the author have indicated that Fog was the Breaker,<ref name="Fog1">Fog is (like many breakers) a sub-class shaker, in that his breaker power has a shaker (and stranger) side effect (the broad cloud of semisolid fog he generates).  Much like Shadow Stalker.  You can see 9.1 for brief mention of these breaker sub-classes, I think. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/queen-18-5/#comment-10382  comment by Wildbow,] on [[Queen 18.5]].</ref> and that he has since changed his mind and would now consider Night the Breaker and Fog either a Breaker or Changer.<ref name="R1">I have a slightly different take on Breakers than I did as I wrote that part & the comment. The story itself is unchanged because you can effectively flip the two characters around, but I'd call Night a breaker and Fog a Changer (or call them both breakers, depending). I've also left it as is with the idea that the PRT are always going to be a bit wobbly with classifications (and especially numbers) given the lack of complete information they have. - [https://redd.it/6adbms Excerpt] from a comment on Reddit by Wildbow.</ref>
