Andromeda despises fire. It destroys all it touches; it burns anything it touches. She prefers shaping everything to her desires, rather than destroying it. She prefers ice. It's cold and hard and brittle and it does not burn, it does not care, it does not fight back. She can shape it, she can crush it, she can do anything with it. The possibilities are endless. However, fire is a part of nature, it is a part of the world, and man must learn to live with it. She can direct the fire to do her will, or she can let it consume all that it can. If the fire burns everything, there will be nothing left to shape. So she directs the fire to get rid of that which she cannot shape.

Chess

Chess is a very logical game and Andromeda finds much enjoyment in it. The possibilities are practically limitless. She can play defensively and wait for her opponent to make a mistake, she can attack and attempt to break down her opponent's defense, or she can attempt to finesse a way to win while staying on the defensive. She has taken a liking to the first option. She has always been good at that. She can hold a position that she hasn't been forced to give up, and she can't be forced to move. It makes her feel like she has more control over the situation as a result. Of course, the other options are also very enjoyable. She has never been one to shy away from a fight. The challenge always feels worth it. There is something very satisfying about seeing her opponent squirm. The element of chance always feels present when she attacks. There are many factors to consider and it can lead to some very interesting situations. However, she feels like she has a natural advantage in the game. She has good vision and a sharp perception, she has been trained to see certain patterns and she has good memory. She can calculate the movement of every piece with ease.

Puppeteer

Andromeda spends her life pulling the strings that make other people dance. Except in her case, it isn't always literal puppets she's controlling. More often than not, it's figurative puppets; people who have allowed her to manipulate them into doing things against their own best interests. She pulls the strings that make her "puppets" believe they are in control of their own lives, and the strings that make them dance to her tune. She is a master of deceit and a master of manipulation. It's a skill that has served her well in her life. She has a special talent for reading people and she has been using it to get what she wants since she was a little girl. It's not all that uncommon for her to succeed by using nothing more than her keen observations and common sense. Most people are so busy trying to survive and trying to get all sorts of things that they are blind to the very things she's looking for right in front of them. In fact, it's quite common for her skills to go unrecognized until it's too late to remedy the situation.
