Pocket dimension

I didn't think in lore terms if there are other kinds of pocket dimensions, but there is at least one of them and it's in possession of two characters: Angeline and Lisa (which is rarely mentioned and I discarded her out of story, so I won't talk about her, but she has similar set of abilities, just developed differently from Angeline)

Angeline's pocket dimension is sort of parallel world to main world, which is fully controlled by her. It's mostly empty, there are some objects that she brought from common world to pocket dimension. It takes a lot of spacial memory and processing for maintaining pocket dimension.

Full control means exactly that. She can change colour, temperature, gravity forces, shape, local geometry, creating surfaces, compressing and stretching it on her will. Thihgs are limited by her imagination, time, spatial processing capacity and personal preferences.

She didn't shape pocket dimension in sort of fantasy world. She uses pocket dimension mostly for teleportation trick, which requires a lot of free space. That's why her pocket dimension is void, with no "up" or "down". Her stuff is arranged in gigantic one sheet hyperboloid, which she stretches for her needs.

The scale of pocket dimension to real world is 1 to 1, unless owner reshaped it differently. That's why Angeline can use teleportation trick.

At basic level she can come in pocket dimension, move around obstacle in pocket dimension, come out of pocket dimension. This process is slow, but precise.

Other way is using compression. She goes to pocket dimension, moves point of desired destination to herself, takes a stel, warps pocket dimension to previous state, so she is in desired position instead of previous, and then she comes out of pocker dimension

pocket dimension's functions

I realised that writing whole mechanics is problematic, so I just write what happens on surface level .

Angeline can:

Pull in and pull out objects in/out of pocket dimension, including people

Teleport

Preserve momentum when moving across pocket dimension

Find shelter for prolonged period of time in pocket dimension

Win time by putting people in pocket dimension, as it slows down physiological processes and it's practically impossible to die inside pocket dimension

Confuse people that are not aware of time perception distortions in pockef dimension (minutes feel like days, days might feel like an hour. Without anchoring to real clock it's impossible to judge time inside pocket dimension)

Her weaknesses regarding pocket dimension:

Spatial blindness. If you're inside pocket dimension you can't tell how exactly it's space corresponds to main world, unless you memorise it or derive that understanding from your own cues

Disorientation. Anything that might cause spatial disorientation will cause troubles with pocket dimension. From alcohol and psychic attacks to those weird vestibular illusions (quite a rabbit hole I should say)

Momentum preservation. Both strength and curse. Pocket dimension has no friction, so preserving momentum might give strategic difficulties

time blindess

No collision protection. No actual experiment on human collision was done, so it's unknown what might happen with person, including Angeline. Objects that are stuck inside other objects due to pocket dimension teleportation tend to be torn in pieces that are flying pff with high speed (think of source engine object collision, but on atomic level)

Angeline can't leave or enter pocket dimension if she's unconscious

Lack of connection. No internet, cellular communications, radio waves or other means of communication can reach pocket dimension or out of it.

Characters that can oppose Angeline (in terms of superpower, not actual combat):

Michael, as someone who knows how pocket dimension works and Angeline's personal limits

Valerie. Attention control allows her to determine where Angeline is about to go within moments. Also attention control might predict possible object that would be brought in this world.

Sonya. Her radar sense and agility go toe-to-toe with Angeline's speedof teleportation, allowing her to catch her before Angeline can strike.
