Glancing at my noms, I feel like Scheherazade deserves a bit of a better explanation. Setting aside that her universe standardizes things like durability and strength such that she's pretty far above humans and gives them immunity to nonmagical attacks of all stripes, her claim to fame is that she's a very odd, limited reality warper. She can manifest anything that was part of the Arabian Nights/1001 Nights, which includes such things as shapeshifting genies, building sized birds, a wide variety of magical artifacts, and even places, and has some limited ability to determine what 'counts' as part of the fables, allowing her to add new things in that didn't have anything to do with the middle eastern stories. She also has a conceptual immunity against beings she considers kings (which can include all forms of rulers, queens and lesser lords included), allowing her to survive their attacks no matter what. This doesn't let her beat them, necessarily, just makes her nigh-on impossible to kill because she reflexively adapts her strategy to counter whatever it is they're doing.

EDIT: Also, re: what counts as a temporary powerup, she spends basically the entirety of her first story being way, way beyond what she can do afterward, because she's fueled by a demon god, which lets her do things like mass-brainwash a dozen heroes into filling roles she wants filled, sustaining self-cloning human beings and monsters as well as a completely unworkable underground world, and lifting a city/small country-sized landmass into the air with the intent to use it to slam a city into dust. Would this count as a temporary powerup considering this all takes place through a span of weeks or months, or just her power peak?
