Physical attack diversion

"She can shield herself and others, repelling physical attacks and confusing the attacker and making him forget his purpose."

- Entry on Renata's gift

Physical attack diversion is Renata's gift to deflect any and all kinds of physical assault.

Description
It mainly works by making the attacker temporarily forget her or his intentions and motivations and go the other way. Eleazar has mentioned that she can project her shield several meters out from herself to protect those of her priority. The force she uses is almost unnoticeable.

Renata, of the Volturi guard, shows it in protection of Aro, and she needs to be physically in contact with him in order to fully protect him with her gift. On occasion, she includes Marcus and Caius in her shield.

Limitations
This power is more restricted than Bella Swan's. As, like many abilities, it is mental, it does not influence Bella and those she protects.

Also, since her power works by repelling an attacker pursuing her, it probably has no effect against a long-range supernatural talent, such as Jane's pain illusion or Benjamin's elemental manipulation.

Origin
Renata's gift is manifested by her desire to protect her family from pursuers as a human.

Breaking Dawn
During the confrontation, Renata clings her hand on Aro's shoulder, ready to repel anyone who wants to harm him.

 * Afton possesses the power to shield himself from pursuers, making them think that he is invisible. However, his power is much more restrained in that he can only shield himself, and that his power can be easily broken through by someone with a sharp focus.


 * Bella-306318_429619423747956_93621998_n.jpg[[Bella Swan]] shows the power to shield herself and others from powers that affect the mind, such as mind reading, illusion or any sort of intrusion to the mind. Since Renata's power works on a mental basis, she can probably be rendered powerless by Bella's shield.


 * Fred has the ability of physical repulsion that causes a person to not be able to look at him making him, in a sense, invisible to that person.
