Powers and Abilities
Kendra is fairykind, meaning that she was adopted and infused with magic by fairies. This was to save her life due to having drunk an elixir fatal to mortals. Her abilities were given to her in Fablehaven and are gradually revealed throughout the series.
- Kendra can see magical creatures without needing the eye-opening milk of Viola.
- Kendra's mind is protected (for the most part).
- Kendra is able to recharge magical objects by touching them.
- Kendra has enough light to know whether or not to visit the Fairy Queen's shrine.
- Mute albinos such as Warren are drawn to Kendra in Rise of the Evening Star, and she is the only memory that he has of his catatonia.
- Kendra can command fairies in the Queen's name.
- Kendra can speak most languages related to Silvian, the language of the fairies.
- Kendra can see in total darkness.
- Kendra, in combination with her brother, is a dragon tamer.
- Kendra can restore astrids to their original form. This is not a fairykind ability, but one given to her by the Fairy Queen.
- Kendra can share thoughts with the astrids. This was given to her by the Fairy Queen (not necessarily a natural gift of being fairykind).

Famous quotes containing the words powers and/or abilities:
“A man is the prisoner of his power. A topical memory makes him an almanac; a talent for debate, disputant; skill to get money makes him a miser, that is, a beggar. Culture reduces these inflammations by invoking the aid of other powers against the dominant talent, and by appealing to the rank of powers. It watches success.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Our wishes are presentiments of the abilities that lie in us, harbingers of what we will be able to accomplish.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
