Banshee+Scream
{{309image37|size: large; margin-right: 10px; float: left}}The banshee's scream is their most valuable trait. A banshee will scream involuntarily when they are experiencing a premonition of death, or they can eventually learn how to scream at will.
Their Scream can only be heard by another banshee or those with a supernatural sense of hearing. In [[3x09 - The Girl Who Knew Too Much]], Lydia let out a Scream because she was about to be murdered by [[Jennifer Blake]], which lead to Jennifer identifying her as a banshee. They can be heard from miles away, even to a [[werewolf]]'s magnitude of hearing.
A uses uses their Scream like a lever over their abilities and hearing. The Scream is used to drown out all other surrounding sounds so a banshee can focus on what only they can hear. In [[3x15 - Galvanize]], when Lydia, along with [[Scott's Pack]], were looking for serial killer [[William Barrow]] who had kidnapped [[Kira Yukimura]]. Lydia was hearing a sound similar to flies, and had an great urge to let out a Scream which she did. Right afterwards, the buzzing sound amplified. Lydia realized it wasn't the sound of flies she was hearing; it was the buzzing of electricity. She then pieces together that electrocution would be the cause of Kira Yukimura's planned murder by William Barrow's hand at a power substation.
{{forceScream|size: large; margin-left: 10px; float: right}}The banshee's scream is also used as an offensive weapon. Their voice can be used to harm a supernatural with a preternatural sense of hearing. In [[4x06 - Orphaned]], Meredith Walker screams offensively while being interrogated harshly by Lydia, causing the fellow banshee''s ears to bleed. Finally, a banshee can learn how to use their voice offensively by giving their scream focus and direction. This results in them creating sonic concussive projectiles such as beams or explosions.
In [[3x19 - Letharia Vulpina]], Lydia, in frustration, threw [[Talia's claws|Talia Hale's claws]] while Screaming unintentionally, giving her focus into one point, sending the claws flying across [[Derek's loft]] then becoming embedded in the wall. In [[5x01 - Creatures of the Night]], Lydia, using her hand-to-hand training, specifically strikes, kicks and grabbling, is able to projectpowerful offensivepowerful Screamsoffensive asScreams as high-powered sound beams multiple yards outwards from her frame. Meredith also once used her voice after ferociously slamming her fists on a desk, then channelled her voice, creating an explosion, with glass shattering, destruction happening around her all at once "like a bomb." Once a banshee is powerful enough, the Scream can become so dangerous, that without control, it could kill everyone nearby and even the banshee herself.
A banshee scream is also used to cast spells. In [[4x11 - A Promise to the Dead]], Lydia was able to wake Deaton up with her Scream when he was incapacitated, stuck in a vegetative state by [[Gabriel Valack|Valack]]'s [[telepathy]]. In [[5x20 - Apotheosis]], Lydia Screamed Mason's name at the [[La Bete du Gevaudan|the Beast]] whom had been revived by using Mason as a vessel. The resulting spell Lydia cast using her Scream, reversed [[the Dread Doctors]]' conversion process to revive the Beast, freeing and separating Mason from the Beast's essence envoking the myth that to "cure a werewolf, you call out their Christian name."
