Origin[]
Sophie Blanchard was the wife of ballooning pioneer Jean-Pierre Blanchard and became the first woman to be a professional balloonist. She lost consciousness several times, suffered freezing temperatures and almost drowned when her balloon crashed into a marsh. She became the first woman to be killed in an aviation accident when she lit some fireworks that ignited the gas in her balloon.
Effects[]
When used, it allows for enough aerokinetic abilities as to allow the user to lift themselves up into the air, where they are also able to surround themselves with stunning pyrotechnic displays. Will occasionally produce an overabundance of flammable gases, which can lead to explosions. It also can blast the user one way or another, which will almost always lead to the user falling onto or hitting something.
