Character from Steelheart by Brandon Sanderson
Regalia's chief enforcer in Babilar — a katana-wielding Epic who bounces every attack back at you, killed by the most unlikely weakness in the series.
Newton's power is elegant: she transforms all physical collisions into perfectly elastic impacts. Hit her and the force bounces back at you. Shoot her and the bullet reflects. Her prime invincibility is this kinetic absorption — nothing physical can reach her. Her weakness is being complimented. Genuine compliments about her abilities temporarily disable her power. David figures this out, compliments her sincerely, and shoots her while her guard is down. It's one of the most absurd and brilliant kills in the series — the weapon was a kind word. She serves as Regalia's primary muscle in Babilar, enforcing the water-queen's will with her katana and her perfect physical defense.
Asian woman, athletic build, carries a katana with practiced ease. Moves with the confidence of someone who has never been hurt by a physical attack — because she literally can't be. Every collision with her becomes perfectly elastic: bullets bounce, punches rebound, blades deflect.
