Saba calls her anger "the red hot." Sometimes the red hot proves to be an asset, like when she's fighting to the death inside a steel cage. Sometimes the red hot proves to be a hindrance, like when she tries to team up with the Free Hawks. As you might imagine, her ability to control these emotions becomes a key part of her coming-of-age experience.
