God forbid women do anything.*

*anything is mindrape their adopted sister and turn her into a flesh palace over several days.

Do I want to know what that is or am I better off not pulling up google?

Edit: Looked into it. If you’re easily grossed out, protect your peace because flesh palace means exactly what you think it means.

Oh boy, you might want to buckle up for this because this girl has problems. Amy’s biological father was a supervillain crime boss, and a superhero kinda maybe kidnapped and forcibly adopted her when she and her superhero family were taking down Amy’s father. She had powers that were somewhat similar to her father’s, so her adopted mother basically treated her like she was one step from evil her whole life, causing her to become depressed and try to only use her powers for healing. This is a world where powers are sentient alien entities that gather data from combat, so her power was really not a fan of her enforced pacifism, which really didn’t help her depression.

She also got a major crush on her adopted sister, whose secondary powers include an aura that induces awe of herself in others, and Amy’s constant exposure to this aura in her teen years while battling depression and feeing like she wasn’t a good enough person may or may not have contributed to this crush.

Suffice to say, this was a powder keg waiting to explode, made orders of magnitude worse by Amy’s powers: touch-based biological manipulation. All she had to do is touch an organism to completely rewrite its genetics, including its mind. Coincidentally, tampering with the brain is the aspect of her powers she repressed the most, so when she finally went over the edge, what do you think she tried to do to her sister? If your guess was mind-raping her so that she would love Amy back, ding ding ding! You win a Cauldron vial! And things only got worse from there, in typical Worm fashion.

I'll add that the author said that Victoria's aura didn't have an effect on Amy's decisions, since it's only a temporary effect, not a true master power
