** A major roadblock for Aang when it comes to [[DishingOutDirt Earthbending]] is that he has to "stop thinking like an [[BlowYouAway Airbender]]" and learn how to "be steady and strong" like rock.

** A major roadblock for Aang when it comes to [[DishingOutDirt Earthbending]] is that he has to "stop thinking like an [[BlowYouAway Airbender]]" and learn how to "be steady and strong" like rock. Appropriately, air and earth are considered opposing elements in the series' elemental system.


Added DiffLines:

* ''WesternAnimation/GravityFalls'': Bill Cipher is a [[TheChessmaster chessmaster]] who manipulates others over years of trickery to reach his end goal. He sees humans as his personal pawns to toy around with. While Bill has several powers when physically in the living world, one of the few things he can still do to effect it while trapped in the Nightmare Realm is [[GrandTheftMe body possession.]]

* ''WebAnimation/EpithetErased'': Several of the inscribed have epithets that fit some aspect of their personality, though since even very young children seem to be able to use epithets it's unclear whether it's the personality informing the epithet or the epithet informing the personality.

Sylvie even states that his main area of study is the interaction between Epithet and personality.


Added DiffLines:

** Mera Salamin's [[spoiler:Fragile]] is most notable for its physical effects, but it's hard to miss that she also has quite a brittle and prickly personality, being prone to {{Motive Rant}}s and spending much of episode 4 pushing ever closer to some kind of breakdown. [[spoiler:Of course, chronic pain is also known to cause anxiety and stress...]]

* ''Fanfic/AllForLuz'': At first glance, Luz Noceda having a PowerParasite ability doesn't seem to fit her, having a [[GenkiGirl completely different personality]] to [[CardCarryingVillain the previous user]]. All For One speculates that the reason Luz received this Quirk was, instead of {{Greed}}, due to her subconscious desire to take power away from those who had power over her and made her feel small, weak, and powerless.

** Being a practicing Christian girl, its fitting Julia Wittebane's Quirk is thorny vines.
** Stanley has NervesOfSteel so its fitting he has SuperToughness, giving him an equally tough body.


Added DiffLines:

** [[spoiler:Odalia's]] Quirk is called "Stockpile" that gets StrongerWithAge. Ever since she got it, she has strived to become a "stronger" ([[TookALevelInKindness and better]]) person ever since she had a reality check in her encounter with [[BigBad All For One]] that nearly cost her everything.

The only outlier is non-combatant Fuuka, who simply builds up power for her Theurgy naturally over the course of battle while [[MissionControl providing support]].
