Well she did have an overpowered limiter in her hair for over half a decade so…it only makes sense that her control would be spotty at best. Perhaps she needs a similar type of ‘amplifier to aid her until she balances out?
Real Answer: at the time of the strip linked in the commentary, I drew Plo Quar with normal eyes because I hadn’t come up with the “eye fire” yet, and I chose to keep her eyes fireless in this current flashback for the sake of consistency since it’s referencing that earlier strip.
Making Up Crap to Explain Plot Holes Answer: Plo Quar already used a full Resonance connection to create Mister Stoney, and she doesn’t need to maintain the full connection to just animate the construct’s puppet-strings.
Making up crap to explain stuff: well some might call it damage control, others might call it just being consistent with other strips like those that have the Sarnothi agent who bedevils agent Brown.
Ahhh, okay. Thanks Dave! (I didn’t see it as a plot hole, my head was just running wild with crack theories that Plo wasn’t a “normal” resonance user or something xD)
Dave> Uh… Did her mom’s eyes change color? From the referenced strip you link to… to this one, her eyes change from green to yellowy gold. Unless that was Resonance glow?
I wish Amanda would listen – not just hear – about what Selkie went though. Rather than seeing “freak who gets attention when I needed it”. But to see someone else’s suffering. And…Amanda got her happy ending dream of ” real” mom and dad. Selkie is still missing her mom and things are getting harder, not easier for her.
I love the “flashback in the hair” thing. 🙂
Eh, I’m not a fan, it looks a bit like a disembodied head.
All I’m hearing are more positives. 😀

looks as if she has more memories from back then then i´d thought….and Plo Quar definitely loved selkie
adorable!
Should I be concerned that Plo Quar’s eyes aren’t glowing in this? I thought that happened whenever they used Resonance.
Selkie is being trained to control the glow. I suspect advanced users can control the manifestation.

You could also use: eye glow is water energy. Masters of the craft can focus all the energy into the task and not lose it on theatrics.
Maybe they need to find what emotion properly triggers it? Sometimes that works for powers. It might work for Selkie’s.
My thoughts exactly – those fond memories of her mother might help strengthen her resonance connection.
Maybe love would be a good trigger? Like her love for Todd seemed to have awakened it.
Unfortunately, it seems your superpower is powered by acceptance that you can’t make a difference.
Thus begins the crime fightin- or crime observing career of Captain Apathy.
Except Selkie’s powers were activated by love/fear. So your thing is kind of moot. :/
Little Selkie’s hair! It goes up! 😮

Glass houses may not be so rare for children who showed their first days in an aquarium…
Spend* their first days. Stupid autocorrect.
