Ability to manipulate the weather at the cost of 5 motes and a standard attack action with an arrow.

Also has amusing noncombat uses, like making it rain in the desert and summoning up hurricanes et al to fuck people.

History

Laughing Falcon is a woman from the far South, Exalted while the Unconquered Sun slept and she hunted her quarry. She never did find the prey that the falcon who led her on hunts (as it did all the women of her small village each generation -- the falcon is probably a Lunar, looking for his/her Solar mate, for some PC-on-NPC action!). In the wilds there, where she is at home, she hunted and fled the Wyld Hunt or any other such unwanted attention, eventually guided by dreams to her First Age incarnation's Manse. There she discovered her ancient Rain Bow and took the Hearthstone from the Manse, and set out north, guided by a feeling she didn't rightly understand.

Since then, I think she's probably dealt with lots of demonic incursions and such, drawn into such conflicts by the vagaries of Fate. I'm not sure what her Motivation is right now other than to end the Yozis in their current form -- preferably by shooting them with Cupid's Arrows and making them love Creation again, or perhaps to "shoot down" the Great Curse and make all parties forgive one another. Or destroy them.

She has also felt a distinct missing piece in her heart, and wants to either find her old Lunar mate's new incarnation (or current one, if he/she never died) and regain that love they once had.
