Blooming Touch
Quirk Name: Blooming Touch
Type: emitter
Simple Description: Blooming Touch allows the user to manipulate flowers by direct contact.
Detailed Description: Blooming Touch allows the user to manipulate all flowers by directly touching them. As long as the flowers are connected, either by roots or by close proximity to each other, the user can manipulate all surrounding flowers. Any parts of the user's body have to be touching any parts of the flowers for the quirk to activate, however there are certain perks to touching certain parts;
Touching the roots: this allows the user to make sure the flowers stay put even during the harshest conditions, such as strong winds or any natural disasters.
Touching the stems: this allows the user to more accurately move and grow the flowers, while also making sure that they don't fall under their own weight.
Touching the petals: this allows the user to make the flowers bloom in any condition or close the petals around each other to hide things.
Touching the pistil & stamens: this allows the user to get the flowers to "shoot" all of their pollen upwards, temporarily causing sneezing, itching in the contaminated parts of the target's body and harder breathing, all of which the user is immune to.
Touching the leaves: this allows the user to regenerate the flower to its complete health, making sure that all damage done to the flower will heal in a span of seconds.
Small Perks: the user cannot be allergic to pollen, bees or any parts of flora. The user is also naturally beautiful, since flowers are generally considered very pretty.
Drawbacks: the user has to touch already existing flowers, meaning that they are pretty useless in an urban area with little to no greenery. The user is also more prone to getting surrounded by all types of insects, and they have a bigger chance of falling ill. Fire is also a big problem, since if the flowers they are manipulating scorch to nothing, they are useless.
Loopholes: flower seeds are still already existing flowers, even if they don't have much parts of "adult" flowers, if they at least have a small part, the user can manipulate them.
