Feel free to ask her all about her motivations, you never need an excuse to chat!
I'm not really sure if I'd consider her powers earth-themed, exactly? The reason she can make plants grow is because she can channel quintessence, a.k.a. life energy. And on one scene, she uses it to make a large tree burst into bloom, just because. Some more practical uses include:
- Revitalizing dying people, creatures, and even planet ecosystems (so okay, it could be played as earth related, in a way) - Draining life out of people, creatures, and even planet ecosystems (allura did not do this don't panic) - Moving spirits around and attaching them to empty bodies (allura... actually did do this, it's a long story) - Making prosthetics that are hard-wired into the user's lifeforce (also allura gave it a floating hand for some reason) - Making giant transforming robots with their own consciousness (much like the lions of voltron, but it takes a lot of time and resources unfortunately) - Relatively minor physical changes, such as temporarily altering her own height and skin color, or permanently drawing Altean cheekmarks on a human's cheeks (still the most baffling thing she did for reasons we won't discuss here)
There's a lot of wiggle room, and there are times that it basically just does what the plot needs it to do? But there's some logical threads that you can see, it's not entirely BS. Generally, if you can figure out some way to tie it into living energy, it's probably fine. Like in one thread, she space-magicked a blanket to become super insulated by catching and recirculating body heat.
