She can Mage-read, and if wounded her blood is boiling hot magma that would be far more harmful to those who wound her that to herself. The wounds burn themselves closed, leaving hardened molten rock behind. She is able to teleport at will, in that way that Moltens do - melting into a pool of lava at their paws, and rising out of a pool that forms elsewhere. Her breath is always, always, hot. Sometimes it even comes out in puffs of smoke or steam. As a Molten Kat she has a natural affinity to heat, so heat-based powers aren't actually harmful to her. She can manipulate the heat in the area around her, but right now it's uncontrolled. She can raise the temperatures without meaning to, and even turn earth into lava without any intention behind it.
Born under the Eclipse, she is a Whisper of Rekura, and one can tell just by looking at her. She's got rocky growths on her shoulder blades that flare up like volanic shutes, with thick black smoke always billowing out around them. Her legs are made entirely of lava, that's not solidified at all and always leaves the ground she walks on melting in her wake. Anyone she touches who is not immune to lava will get burned; she can't help it, the lava is raw and hot at all times. Her mutation might seem like the perfect defense and offense all packed into one, but it carries with it some dire weaknesses.
If the lava comes into contact with the cold, or water, the lava will harden over. Turning to rock, and making it impossible for her to move at all until the rock is turned to lava again (she can't do that herself, someone else would have to burn the rocks with fire or lava). And sometimes, when she's in extremely hot areas/subjected to the blaze of too much fire/, the lava actually collapses upon itself, again making it nearly impossible for her to move as her paws are no longer with 'form'. It takes a lot of effort to pull the lava back into form, and as she's young it could be more work than she could handle.
Adult Notes Reaching adulthood should normally bring with it some sort of epiphany on the events of one's cubhood, but it has done no such thing for Kilauea. Still those missing months of her cubhood are missing, nothing more than fragmented flashes in her nightmares that upon waking she can make no sense of. Whatever happened to her, and the others like her, in that missing time is still unknown.
Her mutation has evolved to be further problematic than it was in her youth. The lava has grown, consuming most of her underbelly and tail as she aged. The lava is just as unstable as it was before, but now when it hardens or melts/loses it's form it's even more crippling. When the lava hardens she can't move at all, and when it melts to lose it's shape she's stranded on the ground, caught in a pool of lava that is even harder to reign back into the form of her body. The lava shifts with a will of it's own now, not seeming dependant on the cold or heat to change it's form -- it can shift all on it's own now. Especially, it seems, when Kilauea's emotions run high her mutation goes haywire. The smoke from her shoulders even grows, expands, and covers an area with a toxic smoke that can choke those who breathe it in. And she still has no control over the lava's deadly heat and melting capabilities...
