Painted Bird

This is unfinished, but whatever. Painted Bird is a member of the illuminate who can manipulate dust particles (dust, snow, sand, loose soil, gunpowder, and so on) and is perfectly adapted to the desert via Desert Adaptation. She tried to rule the Mojave Desert and can control particles in that entire area. If anyone else claims an area she rules, her powers are weakened. She might prove to be a danger to the US if they move down that far south, as she has the power to reduce things to ruins.
