Misa Kohana
Persephone
Misa Kohana is a 15 years old first year student in class 1-A at UA. She chose 'Persephone' as her hero name, and her quirk is Plant Creation, which allows her to grow from her body plants with special properties. She's training under pro-heroine Mirko's guidance (who was forced to accept) and is trying to learn from her combat techniques and fearlessness.
Misa is a young girl who left her parents' florist business behind to try and become a hero, and wants to prove her worth by being part of something greater than herself. While deep down she's scared of many things (not being good enough, or seeing her loved ones hurt), she tries to confront it all with courage. She's a resourceful and polyvalent hero who can fight, restrain or heal (but lacks in power and stamina). She loves to take care of her friends and is surprisingly tough !
Misa's everyday life mainly consists of training, studying, hanging out with 1-A girls and tending to her garden at the dorm. Her hobbies include of course gardening, but also visiting cafes and shops with her friends, exercising to get a stronger body, and fangirling over pro-heroes (including Mirko and Hawks).
Quirk : Plant creation
Quirk explanation :
Misa's quirk allows her to generate plants with special properties.
As of her first year as an UA student she can create :
- sticky vines (used similarly to Sero's tape)
- smelly/itchy vines (used to destabilize enemies)
- very flammable/explosive vines
- vines with healing properties (need preparation and process to be turned into healing medication)
She can project these vines from every part of her body, and she’s able to control them as long as they’re still connected to her body. She also regularly uses her vines as a shield or to move around.
Drawbacks are that to be able to produce her vines, she needs a lot of water, minerals and direct sunlight on her skin to replenish her energy, otherwise she gets exhausted. Overuse of her quirks will cause her limbs (or the part from which she’s producing the vines) to slowly turn into plant matter, slowing her down and stopping blood circulation. Her limbs will go back to normal within a few hours.
Her quirk makes Persephone a polyvalent hero who can travel rapidly, restrain villains or rescue victims, and heal allies. However she lacks in power and physical strength, and has to use the terrain or her abilities at her advantage to be able to take down a powerful enemy.
- She always wears different kinds of flowers in her hair
- Her favorite flowers are yellow daffodils and blue irises
- She loves Disney movies and cries every single time (her fav is Rapunzel)
- She misses her family dog a lot, a brown border collie called Mocha
- She's scared of fire, as her parents' shop once burned down
- She has a little brother just as angry as Bakugou, who she loves whole-heartedly

Misa loves hanging out with the girls ! She's closest to Ochaco and Tsuyu since she trains with them a lot, and loves going shopping or to cafes with them. They sometimes do sleepovers with Toru as well ! She also talks about fashion and pop culture a lot with Mina, and they get along very well.
She doesn't get that many occasions to speak with Momo or Kyoka, but she admires them both a lot and wishes she had the courage to get closer to them.
While she's most often with the girls, she also gets along with the Bakugou squad boys. She sometimes tags along with Mina when she hangs out with Denki, Sero, Kirishima and Bakugou.
Out of them, she gets along with Kirishima the most. Both of them struggle with the limitations of their quirks and self-doubt, and she deeply admires Kirishima who faces it all on. They encourage each other a lot and often end up training together quite late. Kirishima trades exercise techniques with her and she sometimes helps him study !
While Bakugou does consider Misa as one of the extras, she actually doesn't care at all. She has a very feisty younger brother who just hit puberty and deals with Bakugou in a very similar way. Seeing his aggression has no effect on her and she doesn't bother him too much, Bakugou usually gives up and lets her hang out with him and Kirishima.
Since Mirko didn't become Misa's mentor by choice, she's not the most attentive teacher. Her philosophy is usually to throw Misa in the middle of battle and see how she deals with it ; but much like with Bakugou, Misa stands her ground. While it certainly is challenging, it's an opportunity for Misa to learn a lot from how Mirko uses her body and her environment to fight. She also deeply admires her confidence and fearlessness.
Misa's favorite hero is Hawks and she has a few posters and figurines of him in her dorm room. However she has pretty much never interacted with him, and is very much jealous of Tokoyami.
