Black Girl, Fire Powers, and Avoiding the “Angry Black Woman” Association

As long as you’re clearly (keyword: clearly) not correlating her power to anger, this should be fine. I would be mindful of her hotheadedness, though. What makes her hot headed? What sparks this, what frustrates her? Is it related to her upbringing? Is she sensitive? is it a defense mechanism? 

If she’s snapping all the time for no apparent reason besides it just being the way she is, that does translate to me as “Angry Black Woman.”

You’ve only shared that this character is hotheaded and reckless. Though i’m sure there’s much more to her, i’ll still remind you to expand upon her beyond these traits. I do feel exploring a Black character’s anger and the validity of it would be an interesting topic for addressing, though, particularly by someone in the community.

Regarding her fire powers as the potential association to anger, Najela has some good notes on avoiding lampshading which applies here.
