incredibly cute and soooo in character. one small thing....i'm not so sure you used the phrase "burgeoning" the way I've always understood it to mean. I mean, she's an adult now so her powers are more or less done burgeoning. unless you mean that her protecting ice barrier burgeoned out around the guests....

Variant(s):
also bour·geon \ˈbər-jən\
Function:
intransitive verb
1 a: to send forth new growth (as buds or branches) : sprout b: bloom
