==Abilities and Art==
[[File:Inventories-3-avery-1.png|296x296px|right|Official art from 1.8 Bonus Material: [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/06/04 Inventories].]]In addition to the shared abilities and gear of the [[Kennet Trio]], Avery has several magics unique to her:

With her own distinctive [[Second Sight]] she can see white ribbons or photographic film representing (some) [[Connections]],<ref>Avery turned that same Sight out toward the campus.  The ‘bands’ of film-negative cutouts that represented connections were stretched tight, to the point of being strained, and many others were lying limp on the ground, especially here, between the parking lot and the school, and at the front of the school itself.  She didn’t know if that meant they were broken forever if it meant the slack would be picked up later, but it caught her eye. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/24 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.9]]</ref><ref>Edith turned her head to look off into the trees.  Avery, her Sight still active, could see the band that wound through the trees and along a path, extending to the distant campsite that Edith was looking at. [...] The idea of this particular bit of chalk-drawing, like the one on Lucy’s hat and Verona’s hat, was not to work on spirits, but to work on the bands she could see with the Sight.  Every relationship between a person and a person, place, or thing had a band or a ‘connection’. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/16 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.3]]</ref> and has discovered that she can physically interact with them to jerk targets around.{{Cite}} She also sees handprints and footprints, while areas without the handprints or footprints have fallen into neglect.<ref name="sight-prints">She did as Miss had instructed earlier in the evening, and opened her eyes to the Sight.  She could see the flare of Edith’s eyes, and the world partially dissolved.  On trees, on cars, there were a multitude of handprints and footprints.  Bands extended like clotheslines or spider’s webs across everything, including a band from the truck to the office, another band to the truck, and another band that extended down into the woods, wrapping around trees on the way there.<br><br>Where there weren’t handprints and footprints, things were damaged.  Bark was peeled and broken, grass black to the point it looked like there was nothing there, and sections of wall around the camp buildings were splintered and shedding paint.<br><br>The bands were the interesting thing.  They were almost like old film negatives, partially transparent, silhouettes standing up and looking around.  Almost like paper with sections cut out.  Almost like something quilted, layers stitched on.  A middle-ground between all three.  Where there was too much negative, too much cut-out, or too little material, the bands looked like they could snap.  She felt like she could look at those scenes that formed the band and analyze them, but she couldn’t get close enough.  When she moved, they moved.  If she walked towards one, it rose higher until it was well above her head. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/16 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.3]]</ref> The world of her Sight is darker than the real world and filled with mist.<ref>Avery’s eyes opened wider, her pupils narrowed, and the ‘real’ world peeled away.  The floor was shrouded in the faintest of mists, the unimportant details flaked away like peeling paint in a high wind, and it was just her, the people on the field, a court of handprints and footprints, and a mess of the bands all around her, strung between players and between herself and the others.  The ones from herself were harder to see.<br><br>[...]<br><br>One third of her left eye was stuck on the Sight, like a blurriness that wouldn’t go away, but it was a different picture, darker, mistier, with handprints, some bloody. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/30 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.7]]</ref> Her Sight is somewhat nearsighted, making it hard to see connections to people near her.<ref>She sat at the end of the bench.  Pamela seated herself beside Avery.<br><br>[...] Her Sight was more farsighted than not, which was a pain, because she ''really'' would have liked to see and study the band that stretched between her and Pamela. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/30 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.7]]</ref> Movement is highlighted, with things reacting to it more (bits of dust and debris, the mist etc.)<ref>She remembered why she’d used the sight, and tried to analyze the 
world around her.  Movement and motion provoked shedding of bits of grass, bark, or paint, to the point she could tell that there were things out there, but… she couldn’t see in the dark.<br>[...]<br>Avery used her Sight.  It made it easier to see moving things, and to see the threads that tied one thing to another. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/05/16 Excerpt] from [[Lost for Words 1.3]]</ref> Lucy's [[Implement]] seems much larger and more complex to Avery's Sight, covering and surrounding much of her head.<ref>Avery turned on her Sight, and she could see the earring, exaggerated.  Metal-framed crystals, elongated, hung in the air, close to her head, and wire ran from her ear, along her hair, and into her ponytail, where it proliferated, decorating what was there. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/11/24 Excerpt] from [[Cutting Class 6.9]]</ref>  Deer-like actions and quirks are easy to come by for Avery such as bounding over walls and fences, navigating vegetation without issue, or her shift into veganism.

She's also been taught a glamour by [[Guilherme]] as his gift to her, where she can use small amounts of glamour to "reinforce" victories and move her closer to her ideal self. She doesn't seem to have shared this technique with the other two.

=== Path Boons ===

* She's performed a couple of basic [[Finder]] rituals, and apparently has been marked out to the universe as a Finder, making her interactions with that Practice more effective. As a consequence of walking the [[Forest Ribbon Trail]], portals and pathways open faster for her. 
* [[Zoomtown]] also won her supernatural skill at driving, running, riding etc. at the cost of annoyance when she can't drive (which is pretty much always, being underage.) Her Finder explorations have also won her the eternal friendship of [[Snowdrop]]. 
* After walking the Built Up Path with [[Liberty Tedd]] she got a boon that meant ropes are more likely to appear next to windows and other escape routes.<ref>Perk one is a boon, a tendency for ropes, cords, chains, pipes, draping flags, curtains to be beside windows and other unconventional ways of leaving a place.  Longer you go without using it, the better the chance and the better the moment- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/08/gone-and-done-it-17-11/ Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.11]]</ref>
* After making a leap of faith from the Stuck-in Place she gained a boon allowing her to not take damage from falling.<ref>Yeah.  That felt weirdly soft as landings went.  She was ''pretty'' sure that she had a boon working now – a reward for a successful path.  Testing would be required- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/03/08/gone-and-done-it-17-11/ Excerpt] from [[Gone and Done It 17.11]]</ref>
*She walked The Left Field and managed to receive a fruit that prevents things from going off or running out, she was also given some fireflies.<ref>“That’s the Leftover Fruit.  Keep it around, it’ll help keep stuff from going bad.  Works better if it’s on display.  Eat it and you get a temporary effect, means all the food you eat, potions you drink, powders you use, bullets, anything you’d use up, there’s a good chance there’ll be something left over, when you go back, reach back into that container, pocket, whatever.”

*After walking [[Bound to the Party]] she is able to asks a stranger for something that they have in a large number.<ref>“Anyway, means about once a day, I can ask a stranger for something you can have in large numbers and run out of, and they’ll probably have it.  Notecards, pen, bullet…”- [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/07/12/crossed-with-silver-19-14/ Excerpt] from [[Crossed with Silver 19.14]]</ref> 
*After completing [[The Station Promenade]] doors around her will automatically change to doors leading towards various paths.<ref>"She stepped forward again, and the doors ‘slammed’ into place in the same way she could use her Sight to open her eyes a second time." - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2022/08/06/let-slip-20-2/ Excerpt] from [[Let Slip|Let Slip 20.2]]</ref> 

She has a [[Finder|Finder's]] practice that gives her coins in exchange for turning down a trip, experience or journey, they can then be spent to make travelling through other [[Realm|realms]] easier. With a chance of encountering Lost or the trip to become more intense.<ref>She had three coins she’d borrowed Verona’s paints to prime and paint over.  Well, she’d painted one, but the rest had started to pop up here and there.  Avery collected them when they did.<br><br>It was a Finder practice, from Avery’s big batch of new things.  Each coin was metaphorically ‘bought’ by turning down a journey, a trip, or an experience.  Each coin could then be spent to accelerate travel through other realms.  There was a chance for things to be livened up, for Lost to turn up, for the experience to be intensified in a variety of ways. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/09/18 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.12]]</ref> 
===Basics=== 
*[[Snowdrop]], originally just a [[Boon Companion]] they formalized it into a Familiar relationship later,<ref>“I give you my ability to lie, Avery, out of hopes it screws you up real bad and ruins your practice forever.  You get nothing else from me you’d want, in protections and special rules.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/03/27 Excerpt] from [[One After Another 10.1]]</ref> excepting Snowdrops [[Rule of Discourse]] Avery is able to receive nearly anything from her familiar.<ref>S.drop<br><br>First Familiar of Kennet, spirit companion of [[the paths]], glutton, arsonist, snuggle buddy.

=== Tools===
She has taken to using the trio's training in [[Runes]] to create some basic magic items, [[Avery's sneakers|shoes]] which let her jump further and [[Avery's hockey sticks|hockey sticks]] which hit extremely hard (although they tend to shatter after a few uses.)<ref name=":1" /><ref>1.8 Bonus Material: [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/06/04/1-8-spoilers-inventories/ Inventories].</ref>

She has taken to using the trio's training in glamour to shrink down her magical gear into charms which can be carried around on her charm bracelet (a gift from a friend who moved).<ref>Avery reached to her wrist, where she had a few charms hanging from a simple rope bracelet.
A bracelet Olivia had bought her.  The pledge on Olivia’s part had been that she’d buy a new charm for the bracelet every birthday and Christmas, in addition to other presents.  Olivia had given it with one charm, a skate, then forgot the following Christmas, then bought a rabbit, and then the friendship had ended.  Olivia had gone to play for Swanson and had ghosted Avery, ignoring and then blocking the messages Avery had sent.  It wasn’t even like she’d sent many, or been demanding, or even been accusatory.  She’d sent two the first week, then one a week for the next two weeks.  Then after another month, she’d sent Olivia a happy birthday message.  She hadn’t even cared about the hockey team or Olivia leaving, only that she’d lost a friend.<br><br>Avery had dug up the bracelet because it was convenient.  It was a strong bracelet, and with other charms removed, she could add her own.<br><br>Mask- she tore it off, shook it violently, and shucked off the glamour she’d used.  She donned the mask. - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2020/07/07 Excerpt] from [[Stolen Away 2.9]]</ref><ref name=":1" />

She has a Finder item given to her by Miss; a [[Black Rope]] which lets her teleport short distances when unobserved. She can also tell from the roughness of the rope when she's being watched (and thus it's usable), although this is a little unreliable. Was gifted a pair of gardening gloves on the [[The Station Promenade|Promenade Path]] which allow her to send items to an undisclosed location and summon them back when clapped. The items reappear a bit beat up. 

She was given a metal Pin by [[Ken]] that tells her if she's attuned to a place and helps her with [[Nomad/City Mage|City Magic]].<ref>“Good.  The pin will help you with the prep.  If you’re in a place for a while, it’ll change.  Tells you when you’re attuned to a place, when you can ask the city spirits things.  There are ones smaller and vaguer than me.  Neighborhood spirits, street spirits.  You’ll usually need to do things for them, even picking up litter or something, before they’ll do something for you.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/03/16 Excerpt] from [[Shaking Hands 9.11]]</ref> 

Avery received an 'official' Finder kit during negotiations with the garricks, getting a blowdryer, Eyeliner, glass crowbar, Stapler and yo-yo.<ref>“Blowdryer with a cut cord, set it to on, it’ll pin down whatever you’re pointing it at.  Blow it around a bit, but won’t blow it away.  Has to be a certain size, certain amount of strength or raw power can rip it away, but… handy.  Stapler, does the opposite, crack that baby open and give it a squeeze, catches ’em and flings ’em back, can even staple something or someone to a wall if you catch the edge of them and throw ’em back enough.  Eyeliner keeps your vision clear of dust and sand, but makes you colorblind while you’re wearing it.  Yo-yo string, tie it around something, throw that something away, it’ll come back to you within twenty-four hours.  Glass crowbar, lighter than a regular crowbar, more effective too, but it breaks on use, or breaks if you break it, fixes itself the next day.” - [https://palewebserial.wordpress.com/2021/08/31 Excerpt] from [[Summer Break 13.9]]</ref>
