Love Empowerment: The more Hawke is loved by others, the stronger/faster she will become, and the slower she will age (though she is not immortal). Hawke will never have superhuman skills, but she will have more endurance and strength than any normal horse, so long as her life is surrounded by love. But this works in reverse, and there’s a price to pay for changing the natural order of the world. The less others love Hawke, the weaker she will become and the faster she will age. Love is part of her sustenance now, and vital to her life.
