Sometimes witches have powers before they turn. But this is rare, uncommon.
More often, a potential witch displays almost nothing out of the ordinary at all. Just, say, a little more skill with people, a little more natural charisma. An extra dose of something that could almost be called luck, if one were paying attention and on the lookout for witches.
There is one such maybe-potential, right over there. He's not from around here, but he is fluent in Italian and French and German and he professes that English is his first language and laughs when people call him a liar because of his perfect accent. He might not be the most powerful, but a polyglot witch could be useful for something. And who knows, maybe there's more to it.
Maybe someone would care to find out.

His sister completely misses the nuance present.
"Good to know," she says, because she completely missed the nuance.
She's still not thrilled about the mate bond, but. Knowledge is power.

"Another unique distinction Carlisle holds is that he is the only person who's ever managed to meet his mate and leave her," murmurs Edward. "Vampires, in general, cannot do that."
"He did," nods Esme. "It was pure coincidence that he found me again before I died. He wasn't looking."

Yvette blinks.
"Oh," she says. "I mean, I knew the mate thing was permanent, but um. I continue to be impressed with your willpower."

Maybe he can convince his sister to join a Carlisle fanclub. Does Edward want to join? They could make t-shirts.

Edward smiles only very slightly. But then says, "So that's another consideration for you."
(Blair is very proud of himself, he earned a smile from Edward, that is damn hard to do, ha!)

"That's the usual guess, but no one knows for sure how it works."

"So, magic." Sigh. "Well. I hope my magic mate does not have a high body count."
honey_twining
"There's no way to guarantee that. Vampires do mate to other vampires fairly often, and the vampires whose counts are 'zero' and 'one' are already taken."

What, we can't work out an arrangement with three people, I'm crushed, she thinks, then immediately clarifies that she did not at all mean that and that she's very sorry that Edward has to hear her commentary when it's not at all appropriate for the conversation.
"Noted."
She notes that if Edward were her mate he probably would have noticed by now, which means her viable vampire options are down to three, and they have the highest body counts. (Them being female doesn't seem to matter very much to her.) That's exciting. And by exciting she means augh.
"Still doesn't change anything," she says, and it doesn't. It just bothers her. A lot. New topic, please?

Edward shrugs. He does not indicate a sudden burning desire to vampire marry her. "The Denali sisters prefer men," he mentions.

She's pretty okay with the lack of burning desire to vampire marry her. He can just keep on not being that thing, that is fine by her.
To the Denali sisters: damn.
...
She looks slooooowly at Blair. She notes that he spent quite a while in Denali.

Yvette rolls her eyes.
"So I suppose I'll be hoping for a human if I mate at all, which, might not."

"And the human is not necessarily hoping for you. Standard operating procedure is kidnap and turn and then say hello."

"You're gambling a lot on being a second Carlisle, Yvette."

No, she's gambling a lot on acting like herself.
"It is also possible that I will just not have a mate," she repeats. It's not like she isn't highly picky anyway, if she were single for the rest of eternity she wouldn't really mind.

"Does turning affect personality very much?" she asks, because if she is gambling a lot on acting like herself she would like to make sure she'll be herself. "Blair is mostly unchanged, but I imagine he's not the rule."
honey_twining
"No, the opposite. We don't change in personality at all, except for things like rationalizations about our diets. It's not as - disastrous for adults, but it's still a noticeable stagnation."
poll-the-stars
Oh goodie, I get to keep my temper and mouth forever and ever...
But no, seriously, that's really useful. If - potentially stagnating for herself in the future, but she's okay personality-wise right now. ... She thinks.
Well. She doesn't spit fire, so. Victory, she guesses.
"Okay. Glad to hear it."
