Description[]
The user has the ability to control and manipulate youth. User can manipulate youth, as well as draw from the concepts it represents. The user can restore themselves and to the first bloom of youthfulness and beauty allowing for a person's physical state temporarily or permanently return to its younger, more vital state. Users have the power regain, or restore youthful vigor and appearance. Which reduces scars, wrinkles and lines of expression, increases skin elasticity and increases collagen in the skin. User also have the power to preserve the youth of oneself or another person granting them Eternal Youth. Users may also have the power of increasing the life expectancy of oneself or someone else. Considering the person is younger they may also get limited healing abilities curing such as mid-sized lesions or cancers.
However, at least in Hebe's case, the user is not immune to the effects of their own power. Due to Hebe's need to be the youngest person in the room, being locked in a room with the baby chick Li'l Killer caused Hebe to deage into a baby. Although Hebe should've been able to stop the process as a goddess, Percy Jackson suspected that she was either caught by surprise or that making herself older went against Hebe's nature. Hebe wasn't able to restore herself to normal until she made a deal with Percy, Annabeth and Grover who then removed Li'l Killer from the room.
Percy also suspects that satyrs aging at half the rate of humans is due to Hebe's abilities as the goddess of youth sponsors satyr daycares.
