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:
“Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did. I have no illusions on this score, nor do I believe that any Asian nation or African nation, in the same state of dominance, and with the same system of colonial profit-amassing and plunder, would have behaved otherwise.”
—Han Suyin (b. 1917)
“No matter what one says, you can recognize only those matters that are equal to you. Only rulers who possess extraordinary abilities will recognize and esteem properly extraordinary abilities in their subjects and servants.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
