Line #35 Fanfic/TheGreatToadSageOfBrocktonBay


1	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….

37	* MoralityPet: [[spoiler:Lily is this to her sister, the Painted Lady.]]
38	* MyGreatestFailure: For Greg, this is not helping Taylor in the locker.

50	** When Tattletale decides to rebrand, her new costume is a hard-boiled detective suit with a false skin mask making her TheFaceless. She even thinks about calling herself ComicBook/TheQuestion.

55	* TooDumbToLive: [[spoiler:Bakuda runs her mouth, saying that the bomb she put on Lily should have liquefied her, while she was standing right next to the Painted Lady.]]

57	* VigilanteMan: Revenant is a vigilante who doesn't hesitate to kill villains.
