FAMP: Oh, hey, it’s Padma Singh… teleporting sixth year cadet. She is known as a long-range teleporter but can also do short hops. She isn’t hampered by needing to see where she is teleporting to. We were first introduced to her as a Year 4 cadet during a quick cameo way back in Bad Karma, (page 4.269). Then she dropped in for a more substantial role in Worst Field Trip Ever (from page 5.98), where I think we got to see the colours of the Year 4 uniform for the first time, this was when she graduated from cameo to named character plus she starts trying out her code name “Hair’Port”. She also showed up several times during Lock(e)down as a fifth year cadet – see, for example, page 6.201 –Â where she debuted her costume (a privilege for year 5 and 6 cadets).
Patreon: By the way, should it be a thing that interests you, my Magellan patrons over at Patreon have been getting full previews three updates ahead of schedule. And you can too for as little as $1 a month… 😎
Next update: Sunday November 1: Hold onto your intestines…
So, Padma Singh was onboard that jet?
Seems likely. With comms down across the island, it doesn’t seem like they’d be able to contact her if she were anywhere else. Unless they have a long-range telepath onboard…
No, Padma, Karma was in the first story arc. Try to keep up.
With all the aliasses, this kind of confusion must happen all the time.
“Magellan West Coast, roll out, there’s a wildfire that needs stopping.”
“You mean the supervillain, or are the forests on fire again?”
At least Hair’Port is unique, as long as someone doesn’t have an accent with a silent H.
I’m curious, is there anyone on Magellan Charisma hasn’t pissed off yet?
The girl with the dragon/fire breath?
I think she frustrated and worried Vlad, but he wasn’t genuinely angry at her.
The lady is a FAMP.
…Folliclular Amplified Magical Portaler?
She gets too needed, for rescues at eight
She loves transporting, but she never comes late
She sometimes bothers, with people she hates
That’s why the lady is a FAMP.
So, aside from the sparkles in her hair when she uses her powers, how is her hair related to her teleports? I’m wondering what would happen if she got her hair trimmed…
Looking back, her hair seems to magically grow and expand when she ‘ports, and shrinks back afterwards. Is her AOE related to her hair coverage?
This is tricky and something I’ve not delved into… mainly because she hasn’t really had much of a feature role, but I was wondering myself, just the other day, if shaving her head would impact on her powers. It’s possibly she doesn’t even have scalp hair as we understand it…
Except you just have said exactly what you would if you were indulging in schadenfreude, Padma dear… so who’s going to be able to tell whether you are or aren’t doing just that?
OK, not a healer, but someone who can get Charisma to a healer ASAP, so that’s good.
Charisma isn’t responding to barbs, either, so she’s pretty far gone. Hang in there, li’l’ Epoch!
The translation for ‘schadenfreude’ is directly translated to ‘Harm-joy’ but a looser translation I guess would be ‘sadistic enjoyment’.
A shameful pleasure over some ‘bad’ circumstances.
