Taylor Hebert triggers with a very odd if useful set of powers. Given the ability to summon the Toads of Mount Myoboku, she enters the cape scene with both the aspirations to be a hero, and the backing of a clan. Based on the previous Toad summoners, she has a lot to live up too. Best get started….
