I'll go more in depth now.

So, besides what I said, I'll include what I wrote to Prom. I enjoy Ambitious characters and her being constantly driven by a sense of fear of being dominated again makes sense, so that's why she wants powers in the first place. Sure, it's because she wants to feel superior to others in every way, but it's more on why she does. I like how her character is actually really flawed and made some choices that she definitely regretted because her emotions got the better of her. It really balances out all of the power that she got.

Speaking of which, (and this is more of a minor thing but I still liked it nonetheless) but I like how her getting cancer didn't just seem like it was convieniently done for the plot. The stuff that happened in her early life could actually cause something like that, so it makes me happy that you did your research and linked those two things together.

I also gotta say, I love how much of a final boss she feels to Eric. She has all of those powers that she got from other Alchemists in the world, and no doubt Eric has dealt with most of those abilities before. As such, her using all of those at once on him really gives off that vibe that he must show off everything that he's learned. Sure it seemed more like a battle of emotions as well, but I really like how the powers relate to the plot in that sense.

I also like that ending line. It makes me realize that history had basically repeated itself. Cletus was in the abuser role at the start and Tina got revenge on him by gaining new powers and killing him. But then, she took on the abuser role because of her desire for domination that she never got taking over her mind and became the abuser of Eric. Then what did Eric do? He killed her after gaining new powers himself. It's kinda poetic in a sense, and I appreciate it.

That's about it. You did a really good job improving her character, and I have to thank you on that.
