I think Bronte used to be an Empath, because Inflictors influence your emotions. Empathy and Infliction both come from the heart or are related to it, so I bet you're likely to manifest Empath after Inflictor. However, holding in 5000 years of rage could numb that ability. Empathy can be numbed, we saw that with Vespera, so it wouldn't be too far-fetched for Bronte to be a numbed Empath. The only reason that Sophie doesn't have Empathy and Inflictor at the same time is because her abilities were genetically selected, and her Inflictor ability isn't the real version. It's the alicorn version one, while the original ability Bronte has leans more towards defensive or offensive harm. Maybe the Empathy ability could allow Bronte to inflict positive emotions like Sophie can, but it's numb. Tags #councilor #bronte #inflictor #emotion #empath #empathy #sad #theory #dark
