Abilities/Powers:

Weather Mage
Tris is an ambient weather mage which simply means that she gets her magic from the things around her. So in her case it would be the very earth and weather that constantly supplies her with the power. This means she just has a natural affinity with certain things such as lightning and could use it even before she was aware she had magic - more importantly, after she'd been told she didn't have magic and was thus sent off by her parents. Weather mages are often considered the most powerful mages in the world because of their abilities. All it really means for Tris is that she has to have more control than everyone she knows and for a time it was difficult for her. In the four years since learning about her magic, Tris has learned that control so that lightning doesn't strike when she's upset or it doesn't start raining but even she can slip if the circumstances are right.

Wind/Scrying: Tris' most often used ability is wind and it has a variety of uses. Sometimes she keeps them circling around her in order to make her cooler but she also can send them out to carry back voices and conversations. Of course, she can also convince it to become a funnel that would suck up enemies. She can manipulate the winds that are more familiar with her into a platform and call others to lift her into the air so she doesn't have to walk up stairs. It's also what she uses in order to stay dry when it rains as she manipulates it into a sort of umbrella above her head. She can make it bigger to include more people too. More recently she has learned how to scry with her winds, which basically allows her to see images in the wind though Tris can't see more than a few minutes in the future at this point.
Lightning: - Her second most used ability is lightning and these she keeps in her braids, though she is capable of conjuring or manipulating it as well. It's her most dangerous of abilities because it can electrocute a person and it is also the first she looses control over when she's too emotional. Due to this ability, she's immune to any sort of lightning - whether it's natural or created by someone else.
Storms: Of course, as a weather mage she can control storms. Though not to the extent most people would think when they hear what she is. Tris can move storms by urging them to move on or come closer but it's dangerous to prevent them from going places and doing so could kill her. Manipulating the elements a storm brings though is something she can do. One thing she can do is to predict the weather accurately. She can tell where the winds will be, when it will rain or be sunny.
Water/Rain/Hail/Snow/Tides: Tris has a great affinity with water and the many forms it comes in though the extent of her ability to manipulate it isn't as good as some of her other elements. She can make it rain, hail or snow (if it's cold enough) but it's one of those things she tries not to mess with because it's dangerous. Once she did swoop water into her air funnel to create a waterspout and then proceeded to hold it off but she doesn't try to do that. Also when she was younger, Tris tried to change the tides and it left her so drained that she didn't wake for days and was exhausted even longer. Now she just uses the strength and energy they create to energize herself when she's feeling tired or weak. It gives her a boost so that she can go for days with little rest to revitalize herself, however, she will pay for using it sooner rather than later.
Earth: Considering that she deals it weather it may be strange to know that she has some manipulation over the earth. It's not to the extent as any of her other powers but she can shift it to a certain degree. What's really interesting is her ability to predict earthquakes. They make her feel sick and light-headed.
Magma: Funnily enough she can also manipulate magma which her foster-sister, Daja, can't despite having an affinity for fire. It's much like her ability to manipulate earth where she can just shift it one way or another but not dissipate it completely. More importantly her magical self is completely immune to magma and can dive right into it.

Shared Abilities
Due to the fact that Sandry weaved their magics together when they were younger, some of the abilities they possessed have bled into the others. While they've since been unwoven they still have some shared abilities.

Telepathy/Mental Shield: Not a shared ability but one they gained upon the initial connection. She can easily talk to her siblings even when they're far apart. However, it is limited and it will reach it the further apart they are. The young mages have also found that they can communicate with their teachers as well but they generally have to be close or even touching. Tris can also put up a barrier that would prevent them from getting through but that won't be likely unless she's trying to concentrate on something important. Though she does have this great ability to just ignore them when she's trying to read.
Magic Sight/Veil: Four years ago her teacher spelled her glasses so that she could see magic and at the time it spread to the other three. While it wore off after a week, Tris and her foster-siblings kept the ability. Tris is far better at seeing magic though.
Lightning: Turns out that sharing abilities also means that she can zap her siblings with the lightning she creates and they'll be as immune as she is.
Power: When it comes down to it, they can just share basic power. Tris has lent her power to allow Sandry or Daja's short range to reach farther. She can also lend them strength like she uses it from the energy stored in her braids. They will feel it later but in that instant, they're one of the most powerful forces. Of course, without the rest of their siblings, that power is diminished.
Injuries: Of course, there are more downsides to having such a strong bond and that's shared pain. When one of them is hurt, the others will feel it in the same place.

Other Magical Abilities

Magical Self: All mages have a magical self. It allows them to leave their bodies behind and essentially become spirit-like. They have no true form but other magics can hurt them while they're like this. This is something Tris uses often actually - more than most of her siblings. It has no need of gravity so her magical self will travel farther and faster than her physical form ever could to allow her to find nearby storms. She can also travel through cracks her physical body never could. Tris also uses this to scry the winds. However, to leave her body also means to leave it vulnerable. If she throws up a protection circle it can protect her body from both magical and melee attacks.
Protection Circle: When working with magic they can and will sometimes throw up a circle that prevents outside magic from interfering with their own. It also keeps their own magic from getting out if they aren't keeping it controlled well enough. This is handy for young mages who don't know how to control their magic yet. Tris has proven that she's very adept at throwing up these protection circles and it also prevents people from passing through.

Other Skills

Housework/Cleaning: Tris actually enjoys housework as she finds it calming. She was the one to teach some of her other siblings how to properly clean things.
Bargaining: It just so happens that Tris is the best bargainer out of her siblings as well. Even better than her Trader foster-sister, Daja, who came from a group of people who made it their job to bargain.
Lock Picking: Not an ability she originally knew but this skill came as a trade with her foster-brother, Briar. She generally carries around the lockpicking set just in case she needs it.
Weaving: Back when she was younger, all four of the children learned a bit of weaving from one of their teachers, Lark. While she isn't as good as Sandry, she can do it well enough. Also, her braids and their patterns to hold certain elements in her hair was taught to her by Sandry.

Items/Weapons:
Chime (a small dragon made out of glass and lightning)
Lockpicking set
An extra set of clothes (made by Lark and Sandry so they never stain and never wrinkle)
