"Me and Master Anakin have powers," she says, then gestures - unnecessarily, but people startle less when you're making Clearly Jedi Motions - and some rocks rise into the air and spin around each other. They feel less woven through with the Force than normal things, but, well, this planet's definitely doing weird things to Force sense in general.

"And Master Anakin can disguise herself, but if everyone on this planet is Force-null that'll be hard, and she kind of doesn't pass for a living human otherwise."

"What's Force-null mean?"

"Can't use the Force, even a little, and usually can't be influenced by a lot of Force powers, and also usually don't show up well to a lot of Force-based senses."

" - The Force is sort of an energy field except not really. I'm not sure how well it translates or if you guys have discovered it yet, since this planet seems to be suppressing our Force senses a lot, but it's the thing our powers use to work."

"We don't seem to have it as far as I know!"

"Yeah. I think something about your planet's probably mostly blocking it."

"Is that bad?"

"Restricts us some? But doesn't seem to be hurting anyone here..."

"Yeah, I think we're okay."

She nods. "What kinds of things are witch powers?"

"I have my telepathy thing, Mama's got a shield against mind-affecting powers, my dad could read minds, my aunt Alice could see the future, one of the Volturi can see relationships and another one also reads minds but it's touch range, we have a cousin who can zap people also at touch range..."

"...Huh. So all just - individual things?"

"Yeah! It's based on personality, we think, so I have mine because I'm a very oversharey person."

"Huh."

"Most Force-users can do a lot of the same stuff, though they might be better at some things than others - and there's two main ways of accessing the Force, and each way is better at different things. It's hard to use both ways together, usually you kinda get locked into one, but both me and Master Anakin try to maintain a balance between them."

"There are talents some people have that others don't, but most of those talents crop up in multiple people, and we don't really know what it's attached to, or if it's just 'this usually prohibitively hard thing is easier for some people.' One of my friends has a rare power Master Anakin could use when she was alive, and her personality and the imprint of her mind in the Force is really similar to Master Anakin's - but people nothing like either of them sometimes have it, too, and some powers can run in families some of the time."

"Being a witch at all can run in families! Not perfectly but often."

"Do sorts of powers run in families? Or just not anymore than personality sometimes does?"

"It's hard to tell because it's all secret, and vampires are more likely to be witches than humans, and vampires can't normally have children, but you can kind of interpret my power as being related to my parents'."

She nods, thoughtful. "Lots of the things you listed wouldn't be weird Force powers," she says after a moment. "Honestly requiring physical touch is weirdest."

"Lots of powers don't, just a few do."

She nods. "Can powers change over time?"

"A little, sometimes, especially if you turn into a vampire."

"Humans can turn into vampires? How?"

"Vampire venom does it."

"Huh... I should really avoid getting bitten, then."

"Mama won't bite you. Though she will be most comfortable if you don't have any open wounds around her. But mostly if a vampire is biting you they probably want to eat you, not turn you, except that since you have special powers they are a little more likely to want to see if you turn into an interesting vampire."

"Your mom doesn't register as the type of being the Force can really interact with, though if vampires haven't been in areas that the Force can reach before, it might just not really have a reference... But I'd be worried about stopping having the kind of biology we think you need to access the Force."
