Age transferal
Held by:	Leona Mills
Ability to:	Transfer the life force to and from objects

Life force transferal is the ability to transfer the life force to and from an object and make the user younger or older.

Characters

• Leona Mills is the only character known to have this ability.

Limits

Leona Mills has shown she is capable of reverting herself from a rotting death-like state to normal by absorbing the life force from a wooden chair. (Chapter 9 of The Agent) It is unknown as to whether someone else converted Leona to the death-like state Anna initially met Leona in, but Leona appeared to age faster than normal, transforming over several hours from appearing as a young woman to middle-aged with deepening lines on her face. (Chapter 10 of The Agent)

It is unclear as to whether Leona can take a person's ability with her power as Linda Tavara was able to do, but the aged bodies Rachel found after a battle at the circus suggest that she can also apply her ability to living things. (Chapter 10 of The Agent) Leona has also shown she can reverse her ability to transfer life-force into other people or things. Chapter 12 of The Agent)

Examples

• While looking like a rotting body whose eyes and mouth are caved-in, Leona sits up and grabs a wooden chair. The chair begins to age, turning black and finally collapsing into dust. As this occurs, Leona is transformed into a young woman. (Chapter 9 of The Agent)
• When Leona touches a pile of rotting wood, the wood brightens, hardens and a leaf bursts out of the top stick. Her face then sags and her teeth jut into her lips. She also comments that it makes her fingertips feel like they're burning. Chapter 12 of The Agent)

Notes

• In Interview:iStory follow up, writer Tom Inkel clarified that "Leona's power is to transfer aging (in either direction). So it's a bit like a vampiric version of The Russian's ability in the Comrades graphic novels (although she can't become younger than the age at which she manifested, and she ages quickly if she doesn't compensate with her ability. She has a pretty brutal manifestation story, actually). Leona can't heal herself or absorb abilities or anything like that."
