███ Short Introduction

Keiko Kumori is a first year student at U.A. High School, and is part of Class 1-A. She is her mother's second child and her father's only child.



███ History

Keiko is the daughter of a wealthy businessman, and was raised in upper society. During her early years, she was constantly pampered by her mother. Her Quirk manifested at age 3. When she was old enough to go to elementary school, she was given private, in-home tutoring. It was around this time that her mother's attitude toward her shifted dramatically. She was taught to be quiet and well-behaved. Her parents would show her off at events, claiming her to be the pinnacle of a perfect child. The constant pressure to be obedient and well-behaved led to anxiety and emotional distance in Keiko.Around age 10, Keiko began to express a desire to become a Pro Hero. Her parents were caught off-guard by this, but ultimately consented to let her attend U.A. when she became old enough. It was also around this time when Keiko took up knife-throwing as a hobby, and found that she was very good at it. She quietly practiced her newfound hobby in an effort to train to become a hero one day. Once she was old enough, she took the U.A. entrance exam and passed.In the few quieter weeks between semesters during Keiko's first year, her older half-sister, Hana, reached out to her. Hana's caring, motherly nature swiftly broke down the emotional walls Keiko had put up, and they became very close. Upon learning about Hana's childhood, Keiko grew to resent her parents. She was swift to accept Hana's offer to live with her, telling her parents that she was staying with a friend from school for the rest of the summer, before moving into the dorms.

███ Appearance

Keiko is reasonably tall, with a lean build. She has light periwinkle hair, which she keeps in pigtails at her parents' behest, pink eyes, and very pale skin.



At school, she wears the typical U.A. girls' uniform, which she keeps in like-new condition.



Keiko's casual style is an odd mix of cutesy and formal. Pictured here is a lilac blouse, dark purple pencil skirt, blue-grey tights and grey flats. This style isn't her preferred style, but it's what she grew up wearing and isn't sure what else to wear.



Her Hero costume is a purple body suit with silver accents, and appears to have built-in shoes. She also has a black cape that reaches the middle of her calves. She notably keeps her hair down while in her hero costume.



███ Personality

Keiko's oppressive childhood is the largest factor in her personality. Upon a first meeting, she appears to be stern, stoic, and an obsessive rule-follower, with little interest for the world around her. She is soft-spoken and tends to speak in a very formal manner. She tends to keep her to herself. When she does speak, it's often to berate her classmates for breaking the rules. She is not easily intimidated by the people around her. She doesn't appear to have a sense of humor and is focused and logical to a fault.

After having attended U.A. for some time, though, a more genuine form of Keiko's personality began to manifest. While still quiet, logical, and strict, she is also more passionate than originally thought. She has a deep love for her older sister, and strong resentment for her parents. Upon warming up to her classmates, she admitted that her obsession with rules comes from a deep-rooted anxiety surrounding rule breaking; a product of her unfortunate childhood. Likewise, she takes her schooling very seriously out of an ingrained fear of failure and disappointing the people around her. She also has a notably dark sense of humor.

Because of the anxiety her parents unknowingly instilled in her, she has a terrible inferiority complex and an unhealthy amount of perfectionism. She its prone to putting work before self, leading to health deterioration and emotional breakdowns. She also tends to put an unrealistic amount of blame on herself, claiming that bad things outside of her control were her fault.

███ Quirk

Keiko is a masterful markswoman, able to hit distant targets with unparalleled skill, even if the target is moving. She has excellent reflexes and agility. While not the best at it, she is also decent at close combat.

Shadow Dimension: She can access a pocket dimension by using the shadows around her. She can use this pocket dimension to teleport between shadows and to store objects. She accesses the pocket dimension by touching a shadow and willing herself into it. She can let only part of her enter the dimension (ex. sticking her arm in to grab a stored object), or she can transport her entire body as long as her entire body can fit into the shadow she's using. She can also bring people into the dimension if she holds onto them while she enters. Her power is strongest at night, on particularly cloudy days, or in dark rooms, which allow her to access the dimension anywhere. Entering and leaving the pocket dimension rapidly (i.e. teleporting between many short distances in quick succession) makes her sick.



While in the dimension, she can move between the shadows in her area. For example, she could enter a shadow of a building and reappear in an enemy's shadow for an ambush attack. Teleporting this way costs no time in the real world.



She can use the dimension to physically hit enemies at a distance; if she put her arm into the dimension mid-punch, she can make her arm come out near an opponent. This technique doesn't transfer to thrown objects, as without her to guide them they will simply stay in the dimension.



Time in the pocket dimension works differently than in the real world. No matter how much time she spends in the shadow dimension, she will always return to the moment she entered. However, she can still age in the pocket dimension. So while she could wait out wounds in the pocket dimension, she would still physically age however long it took the wound to heal.



Not necessarily a downside, but an odd attribute of the pocket dimension is that it's always relatively cold.

Well, um, I think I may have found my new main OC. Meaning that there probably won't be any more OCs. Look at her, she actually has character development and a relatively fleshed-out backstory!Adopted her from. I really like how she turned out. She's so cute!BNHA (c) Kohei HorikoshiKeiko, artwork (c) knight-engale: sits in the shadow world for a week to wait out a period
