;[[APPREHENSION]]
The ''Avatar'' has exceptionally precise senses of taste
and smell (as the latter enhances the former). With a
faint sniff or a tentative taste, the Avatar can figure out
what ingredients compose a certain concoction, and in
what proportions.

She can also sniff out drugs or poisons
that have been added to what she was about to wolf
down, as well as detect airborne toxins by the way they
make the air taste.

This ''Flair'' doesn’t tell an Avatar what
an ingredient is if she isn’t already familiar with it. (She
would realize that what’s making her iced tea sweet isn’t
sugar, for instance, but she wouldn’t know if it was Equal
or Splenda if she’d never had either artificial sweetener
before.)

Instead, the Flair registers each component
separately and provides an indication whether such
components would be dangerous to consume. The Avatar
also remembers the taste and smell of various ingredients
she experiences so she can recognize and identify them if
she’s exposed to them again.
