Creativity is Aelita's power on Lyoko. It was first called by name by Jeremie in Rock Bottom?. Soft, angelic, melodic sounds or non-lyrical vocalized singing is summoned and heard; similar to those of a siren. In Evolution, a thin light blue-colored aura appears around her body.

Overview

Season One

Aelita's creativity was mostly used defensively to protect herself from monsters' lasers like in "Rock Bottom?", but it also helped her lure the monsters like in "Zero Gravity Zone" by creating an illusion of herself. She additionaly used her powers to delay monsters like in "Amnesia" where she created a wall of ice to occupy two Krabs from attacking her and Yumi so she could have focused on two other.

Season Two

This ability allows her to create bridges, walls, plateaus, blocks, barriers, platforms, ramps, flats, delete structures, and create clones (though she can only create one at a time as seen in "A Bad Turn", mirror images, and illusions).

The episode "Contact" revealed that freshly-constructed platforms made by Aelita have loose pebbles and dirt on them, emphasizing just how detailed her creations can be.

Season Three

Aelita continues to use this earth-altering ability, even after she developed a "weapon" of her own during the vacation. In Temporary Insanity, she used it to call forth a large wall of solid ice to defend Odd and Ulrich against two Kankrelats and a Tarantula (whom they believed to be Sissi, Herb and Nicholas). In Sabotage, she used it to crush a Tarantula with a big iceberg. Because of the numerous bugs that were in the supercomputer at the time, Aelita's Creativity was also bugged up as the angelic voice wasn't playing properly.

Season Four

Aelita was also able to use Creativity to free herself from William's Super Smoke in William Returns. Aelita can combine this ability with her Energy Fields, to make a large force field, which she did in Replika and was strong enough to withstand an attack from two Megatanks and William's Zweihänder. In Season 4, Aelita's Creativity was much more stronger as she was able to create a perfect clone of herself which was able to fool William, Digital Sea and Factory Interface in Canine Conundrum. She was able to create one of the floating platforms with mountains to save Yumi and Ulrich from falling into the Digital Sea in Bad Connection.

As a spectre on Earth, her stronger creativity allows her to open sealed doors, and break computer codes in military bases, which she did in Lab Rat.

Evolution

Aelita continues to use her creativity, but the ability manifests slightly differently than before. Instead of angelic and melodious siren-like singing, a light blue aura appears around her.

This stronger earth-changing ability appeared again in the episode Suspicions, where Aelita used it to open the entrance to the core chamber in the Cortex, which she continued to use for the rest of the season.

Trivia

• The original French name for Aelita's ability was Creation, with Creativity being a mistranslation.
• In the show's graphic bible for season 1, it was originally planned for Aelita to lose 50 life points whenever she used Creativity. This actually made it into the scripts for some episodes, but were ultimately cut.
• In the first season, Aelita would usually kneel, clasp her hands and close her eyes to use this ability, but in subsequent seasons, she just closes her eyes and has her hand select what she wants to create or alter.
• Even though Aelita had this terrain/earth-controlling ability long before she developed her pink Energy Fields, the others still considered Aelita being unable to defend herself against X.A.N.A.'s monsters.
• It is very similar to how X.A.N.A. itself alters the landscape of a region to however it sees fit.
• In Code Lyoko Evolution, she never utilized this ability to alter any parts of the landscape on either Lyoko or the Cortex. She had only used it to open the door to where the Heart of the Cortex was.

Facebook Social Game

This ability appears on the Code Lyoko: Social Game.

•  Mirror Image - Create a double in front of each ally, who then absorbs an attack.
•  Synthesized Obstacle - Defend against several attacks before retreating.
