Description
So Gryphon has been mentioned a few times in the John/Blaze stories, and here she is! In Blaze's scar map and history, she was briefly referred to as "a half-breed fire elemental from a foreign country" - more specifically, Italy.

She has a limited amount of control over energy in a 10 foot radius. If there were ever a fight for control over it, she'd most likely lose. This includes full-blood fire elementals, and magic users like John. Magic users like John will always dominate over any inborn ability. A difference here being that John has to bind specific types of energy in the surrounding area, but Gryphon will naturally be able to do it without any invocation or binding required.

Fire elementals are part of an elite group that don't mix with other people for that reason - it weakens the powers dramatically.

"Fire elementalist" is also an old outdated term, since it's energy of any type - fire, electricity, ect.

It is unclear how it works. It was thought to be genetic, but there have been a few cases where people who could control no more than a flicker of candle fire will suddenly develop full fire elemental powers suddenly and overnight, and any future children after that point, it would be like they had been a full fire elemental the whole time. Typically though, children will always be at least a little less powerful than their parents, even when they're both full fire elementals.

They also have increased resistance to heat but get colder faster. Frequently though, they'll just manipulate the thermal energy to hover around themselves and keep them warm. It gets more complicated though when there's other people around and almost no heat to manipulate.

Typically she focuses more on physical abilities than anything else. Heavy lifting, self defense, aiming a gun.

She is buff lady with no tolerance for bullshit.
