I am thinking of this new story I wish to write. It’s all about a teenage girl, a nerd one, who would gain new power. What do you think would be the coolest type of power fitted to her?

Thanks for your ideas! It would be a great help! :D

Hope you don't mind if I ask some questions

What is this girls character? Is she snobby, friendly, shy? Does this power change her as a person? What kinda trouble is she having, if any?

I'm only asking so it'll help me understand the girl, so I can suggest a power that may suit her :D hope I can help in some way!

a power's pretty integral to the story, so you have to know who she is, what the story's about, before you assign a power. And those will probably suggest one. But we don't know.

"Cool" should be secondary. Try going for something that's a bit more genuine to her. Like, for instance, I'm writing a story that has magic, and the magic reflects the characters' emotions and personality. So, I have this one character who's kind of reserved, but he has a lot of torment to deal with, and he's intelligent, so I gave him weather control, since I feel like that holds a lot of power and can be complex as well.

I would suggest the ability to stop the long-range missiles. It would have saved billions of taxpayers' money due to cancellation of the Anti-missile defense program. The girl in the end becomes U.S. President

It would be very awesome to have a nerdy teenager who could turn invisible. Or maybe exray vision. I dunno, one of those!

Jo: She's a nerd one, she's shy and thus suffering from filial crisis. That's all I have this moment because I'm still brainstorming for the story. ;)

Have you ever seen The Incredibles? The teenage girl in that can turn invisible and creates forcefields - they did that to reflect a socially awkward teenager wanting to disappear and wanting to protect her emotional side from other people. Since they basically just took a bunch of the Fantastic Four characters, it wouldn't be stealing if you took that idea... too much
