Quirk: Sixth Sense
- In simplest terms, Izaru is aware ahead of time that some Danger will befall her, someone near to her, or an area she is in. 'Sixth Sense' is the ability to instinctively feel moments of harm and danger, be it with herself or someone else, as well as an increase in perceptive abilities to a degree that is supernatural, even in a world dominated by Quirks and the 'impossible'.
The most in depth details of this Quirk remain largely unknown, and what is known of it has been accumulated through theory and thought from Izaru herself. The easiest way she has been able to explain this sense of when things going wrong- is comparing it to the internal sense that some animals get before a disaster, or the sense that something may not be right.
The more physiological side of her Quirk is that her body remains in a constant 'Fight or Flight' mode, regardless if she is asleep, or awake,or even if she is in physical danger or confrontation. Her body is continually flooded with an excess amount of adrenaline, making her senses more hyper-aware of the world around her- almost to a supernatural level. Because of this she has an innate sense of other people and the world around her, she gets 'feelings' when something bad is going to happen, and she has to make a snap judgement to figure out what the 'bad' is, where it is coming from, and what to do in retaliation.
Her Quirk also makes her hyper aware of her surroundings and the people in it- she's a perceptive person and she can usually look at someone and determine their true natures. It also makes it easier for her to tell when something is wrong with someone else, or even pick up on subtle hints, ticks and clues that other people may miss entirely. And because of her impressive level of intelligence, and incredibly adept ability to organize limited information into valid theory- she is able to take the feelings from her Quirk, survey her surroundings and what she sees- and manage a way to counteract whatever Danger she is sensing at an impressive rate. Her quick reflexes, thinking, and incredible perceptive abilities- make her a formidable opponent, even against others with Quirks that are far more powerful than her own.
The 'feelings' she gets present themselves as a sudden rush of adrenaline, and something of a 'pirckle' or cold, gut-feeling in her stomach- of the kind someone would get when afraid, panicked, or otherwise incredibly stressed. Her Quirk cannot be 'turned off' so she is constantly open to, and feeling the effects of those 'bad feelings' going on around her at all times. She picks up on Danger regardless if it ever comes to pass or not, meaning; in the hundreds of different possible scenarios that someone or herself could potentially end up in trouble, or hurt- she feels it. In the thousands of different scenarios occurring in every second of her life that could potentially lead to someone in trouble or injured- her Quirk picks up on the accompanying feeling with that Dangerous Event, and her adrenaline spikes and her body tenses against the feeling, even if the danger never actually occurs. Because of this, it is extremely difficult for her to be around other people- because she is picking up on every single possible bit of danger, and her body is reacting to it accordingly- she can quickly become strained and exhausted, and her health can take a significant hit.
It is not entirely clear what sets off these feelings of hers, but she has a good handle on which feelings spell for something minor, or something more disastrous. There is a clear internal difference between a sense of when someone may simply cut their finger, accidentally trip and get hurt or something like that- or when they are in for more mortal/fatal danger. There is also a very specific and identifiable sense that she has when someone is about to, or are likely to die. There is also a difference in the feeling she can pick up on to determine if the bad feeling is connected to herself, someone else- or an area. And though the most significant sense of danger is attributed to physical injury- she can also pick up a sense of people who may experience more mental and emotional injury as well. Because it mostly requires some sort of harm, it's harder for her to gauge the actions of people who are not intending her true harm (such as when brawling), but she can still get a sense of someone looking to apprehend her or bind her- it usually takes the feeling of something minor and more 'passive'.
On a more complicated level, and more theory- Izaru hypothesizes that her Quirk is picking up on signals and stimuli that is connected to an array of interconnected lines that span between all living things, but are invisible to the naked eye and cannot physically be touched by anyone or anything on the earth. She has dubbed this way of thinking and relative interconnections as 'Touch' or 'Contact' Theory.
She believes that her Quirk allows her to pick up on signals coming from these lines spanning between herself, the earth, and the people around her- and that in some way, once one thing happens- whether the ground shakes a little, someone takes too many steps one way, a tile shifts, or even when someone makes a conscious decision- that one little action (physical and mental) is felt along the lines and it influences everything else around it in some way. And eventually, even the smallest of things cause enough disturbance along the interconnections, eventually danger becomes inevitable- and she simply becomes aware of the inevitable in the form of a 'bad feeling' ahead of something actually happening.
She believes she has more direct contact and intuition of things she is in close contact with- that every interaction with someone else or a specific place strengthens that interconnected line between herself and it, and makes sensing danger for that person or place all the more intuitive, and faster. Continued and regular contact between herself and other people, and herself and a specific location make that 'Line' connecting her to those things stronger- and thus the way her Quirk picks up on stimuli and vibration through the Lines (or rather "Strings") is more in tune and stronger as well. It is something akin to warming up a motor- if the motor has been running a while, there is less delay in whatever action is asked of it- the corresponds to the Lines/Strings between Izaru and people and places she is near regularly. Conversely, if the motor has not been running and needs to be turned on and revved up- there is a longer delay for what is expected to be done. In this analogy, Izaru's Quirk reacts less to people and places she is new to, or has not been around for some time- and thus, it reacts less to the Danger, and has a shorter warning period for her to react to. She believes everything is connected to everything else in some way, and any action or decision has a ripple effect on everything else- her Quirk decodes and picks up on the ripples in the interconnected Strings in order to make her aware of Dangerous Situations or trouble ahead of time, and is more effective when she is near someone or someplace for a regular amount of time (and thus, the String connecting her to those things has been strengthened from the continued contact).
Drawbacks/Limitations:
Physically, her Quirk is exhaustive to an extreme. Because her Quirk cannot be 'turned off', and it puts her body in an everlasting 'Fight or Flight' mode pumped up about to about times ten- she's on edge at all seconds of her life and it quickly wears on her energy levels. Her body is kept in a sate of tension and strain of someone who's on the edge of a heart-attack, and any amount of work or physical activity is incredibly hard for her to do. It takes a lot of effort and strength to do what should be easy, and she wears out quickly if involved in physical confrontation that lasts an extended amount of time.
Her Quirk never lets her relax, and because she's always so physically wound up- any semblance of relaxing is extremely difficult to near impossible. Because of this, she has a hard time sleeping and has adapted to a lifestyle where she sleeps very few hours every few days. It is also hard for her to remain friendly or even kind, and her Quirk is just as mentally exhaustive- it has proven to be quite maddening, and could easily drive someone into a state of paranoia, depression, and even insanity if they crack underneath it. Her whole world is consumed by feeling any and all bad things that do happen, or could potentially happen. Her life is spent knowing and feeling every single fraction of bad all the time, no matter what.
More logistically, the major limitations of her Quirk involve distance, time, and relative vagueness.
Izaru can only sense any danger if she is in a relative distance of where it is occurring, or to who. The exact distance is debatable, but for the most part- she needs to be in a radius of about half a mile to sense danger befalling an area, and a smaller distance than that for individual people. In terms of danger aimed for herself, she usually only get's a sense of something coming toward her if they are within a few hundred feet.
There is no real identifier for what the danger she feels actually is- it could be any number of things and she has to rely on observations of her surroundings and her foes to come up with what might happen, and what to do in order to avoid anything truly hazardous. She makes a guess of what might happen, and acts according to that guess- it's up to her to be as accurate as possible, and if she guesses wrong it could spell for something disastrous.
Personality:
In her younger years, Izaru was a very polite, compliant, and friendly figure that got along with everyone with an incredible amount of ease- and you'd never see her upset nor angry with anyone. She was always helping other people and lending a hand, and she had a good relationship with everyone she ever met. Everyone knew her as helpful and friendly, and they knew they could ask for help whenever they needed and for whatever they needed. Izaru is an incredibly smart individual and she's very good at thinking things through and solving problems. She held conversations and struck them up with others, enjoying any sort of social interaction and chatter.
However despite her friendly nature she never truly got close to anyone, and hardly anyone knew much about her. She remained a mystery to near everyone throughout school, and only to Shota Aizawa did her hidden personality emerge. Despite keeping up a face of being polite, cheerful and nonbothered, Izaru is more sullen and somber than people would ever realize and she's incredibly easy to set off. She refrains from talking about too many personal things, because she has a habit of falling into a sort of 'rant mode' and can talk on and on with little pause for an extended period of time. She hides her agitation for the most part but it can flare when she gets pushed to the edge, and once she gets worked up enough- she has quite the foul mouth as compared to what you might think of her to start with.
Despite what face she puts up to keep her deeper, innermost thoughts from being seen by other people- she is a kind person, and she cares deeply for others. She has as strong sense of justice and a will to protect other people, and she's capable of remaining levelheaded and calm in all sorts of situations. She worries about how other people are feeling and empathizes with them strongly when they are in pain or upset- and will do what she can to make them feel better and help.
Following the events that landed her with the Police and eventually in the custody of UA as a 'Teacher'- Izaru had become incredibly withdrawn and quiet. Her expression rarely wavers from neutrality and emotionlessness, and when it does- her expression betrays how uneasy, uncomfortable, unsure and tense she is. She has little idea how to interact with other people, after being starved social interaction for ten years, and she does not know how to temper herself, or even how she should act. Being around people makes her incredibly uncomfortable and physical or even just close-contact from anyone is enough to make her flinch away and set panic racing through her in ingrained reaction. She usually manages a way to keep herself from reacting to people getting close, but if faced with a large number of people all at once (and especially people she doesn't know), she can't always keep her unease from showing through.
She's not quick to interact or talk to anyone, and she's not good at coming up with things to say to other people. She has a hard time keeping track of time and people and names especially, despite how intelligent she is and how easily she puts minimal detail together. She has a hard time putting together her own emotions and feelings as well, and for it she get's frustrated with herself quickly- though she had retained most of her habit for keeping her feelings to herself, so you would never really know.
Despite being slow to share her emotions and personal feelings, she is a rather rational person and easily sees the sense in asking for help when she truly needs it- especially when it comes to her health. But she will do her best to solve whatever issue arises all on her own, and exhaust all possible solutions.
She is very out of touch with the world and the people she knows and is having a slow time adjusting to it all- and she feels no small amount of guilt for straining the emotions of the people in her life, and especially the ones with painful feelings regarding what happened to her in the ten year time gap.
Abilities/Skills:
- Extreme Intelligence: Izaru is an incredibly smart individual and has mastered a number of topics in a short time span, and is able to master new things in a very small frame of time. While at UA she was the top student in the whole of the school for grades, and she was able to keep ahead on her coursework by a number of weeks. She is also able to organize details in a variety of ways and form valid conclusions with ease, as well as solve any number of sort of problems. Her intelligence accounts in part for her ability to pick apart a situation or even someone's Quirk and make up a plan of retaliation in little time at all.
- Hand-to-Hand Combat: With a Quirk that doesn't lend much to outright power or force, Izaru relies on hand to hand skills along with her quick thinking. She was taught to fight by her father for the bulk of her life, and remained an expert in close quarters combat even through the ten year time gap under Simon's influence. She uses his combat skills successively with a number of tools at times, but the bulk of her time she relies on her physical capability- and is very strong, as well as quick. Izaru was able to effectively hold her own against an experienced Pro such as Eraserhead, and continues to show an aptitude for close combat when the need arises.
- Computer/Coding Expert: Izaru is a very capable computer programmer and has shown exceptional skill hacking into any number of systems, disrupting security measures, and compiling information. Inher time under Simon's influence she was used to hack into a number of systems, transfer funds, find information for blackmail, and lock down files for criminal organizations and Villains. She's been able to leave no trace of her work, and there has yet to be a system or firewall she cannot crack- making for a dangerous cyber criminal. Even from a young age she set up a private notification system called 'Danger Is Near', that even ten years later- was never able to be shut down or hacked into..... and it goes further, when she was ordered to hack into the infamous All For One's Computer Systems and retrieve data from him in secret.
- Keen Perception: Thanks to both her Quirk, and her base intelligence- Izaru has incredible observation and evaluation skills. She can easily evaluate a situation, and even someone's Quirk and abilities- in order to quickly create strategies for dealing with different types of enemies, disasters and Quirks. She is hyper aware, more so than your average person, of other people, how they react, and even how they are feeling at any one time. She can pick up on tiny, subtle cues that most people would miss- and even catch a small slip or detail that many might pass over as nothing.
- Incredible Pain Resistance/Endurance: Izaru has suffered no small amount of pain through her life, and for it she has a high pain tolerance. And due to the exhaustive nature of her Quirk (which she cannot 'shut off'), she has evolved to have a high level of endurance and can continue to function normally long after many would have collapsed from exhaustion and fatigue. Because of this, and her time spent in the highstakes, life or death atmosphere at the Pit- she can suffer major injuries and continue to fight, move and stay focused and on point for an astounding amount of time before collapsing completely.
Equipment:
- Cellphone: Izaru carries a cellphone with her at all times, and with it she's able to browse the internet, contact others, connect to servers, write code, and even use it to hack into a number of systems remotely. It was with a cellphone she was able to download what little information was left behind of what Simon wanted her to do, and also hack into security and camera feeds at the Kiyashi Ward Shopping Mall- effectively letting herself and Shigaraki escape with ease.
- Wire: While under the influence of Simon's Quirk, Izaru taught herself how to use a small, light, portable tube filled with extra strength, incredibly sharp lengths of metal wire. Using it she was able to easily tangle targets up in the lengths, rendering them immobile and cutting them instantly. She was also able to use this wire to propel herself over obstacles and up to high places, and had a careful handle on how tight the wire got around a target, and how much it was able to cut. At the right angle and the right force, the wire was sharp enough to cut through muscle- and could easily be used to kill someone.
-- Since arriving at UA she has augmented the wire so that it is only sharp enough to cut when she wants it to be, and made sure to incorporate and quick-cut release into the canisters so if the wire is caught by something, she doesn't get dragged in by it. To help with better control over the wire, she has also started to wear gloves with reinforced metal plating sewn into them to keep from cutting her own hands when using it.
- 'Breathe Easy' Gas Mask: To contend with what complications arose from the fatal injuries received at the Pit ten years prior, when expecting to be involved in any lengthy amount of time fighting or exerting a lot of physical energy- a specialized breathing mask has been made for Izaru when out in the field. The Mask was originally a gas mask, but it's been altered and is self contained- when switched on and worn, it emits a an aerosol containing corticoseteroids to keep her injuries and her lungs from swelling too much that it hinders her ability to breathe. (It is near the same medication she would take orally). There is a finite amount of it however, and it only works to a certain extent- there is a limit on how much it can keep her injuries from acting up, and if she passes the limit, she can be in serious trouble.
- Tracking Bracelet: As per her Provisional stay at UA, she is in the custody of the School and it's Staff- and as such, is confined to the campus. To make sure she remains on the grounds, she has been given a non-removable Tracking Bracelet that broadcasts her location to the phones of the UA Staff, Principle, and the Police.

Family:
Hideki Izaru (Father)
Status: Deceased
Hair Color: Silver
Eye Color: Blue
Quirk: Strongman
- Hideki's physical attributes reached levels beyond the normal human physique. He was significantly stronger than than most people, and could exert a large amount of force with his hands and feet. He was also more physically resistant to damage, and had a high level of endurance. This Quirk allowed him to go head to head with a number of Pros with different Quirks when he was training them.
- Though tests showed that Aneko did not inherit her father's Quirk, she does have a higher endurance than most people, just as he did.
Aneko and her father were quite close- as to be expected, since Hideki was the only Parent she had left, and had ever really known. Hideki encouraged Izaru to learn everything she wanted to and gave her a great deal of freedom in her early years, he was not strict with her, and had a great deal of trust that she would take care of herself. He worried about her, and what strain she experienced due to her Quirk- and he did his best to help her with it. She grew up strong-willed and dependent, and he trained her how to fight and to keep herself safe. Hideki owned a Training Gym for Pro Heroes who weren't part of Agencies with enough money to afford their own facilites, and he fought with and worked with a number of Pro Heroes with ease. This ability to contend with different people and Quirks in battles was passed on to Aneko, and paired with her intelligence and the nature of her Quirk- has made her a formidable opponent.
Hideki stayed out of Aneko's personal affairs more and more as she entered High School and came under the scrutiny and backlash of Danger Is Near. She pulled away from him and he regreted letting their relationship fade- more so after the events at the Pit. Following the Pit he became familiar acquaintances with both Shota Aizawa and Hiszashi Yamada, and kept contact with them for a long while even after Aneko was gone.
Keina Izaru (Mother)
Status: Deceased
Hair Color: Lavender
Eye Color: Blue
Quirk:
Sixth Sense
Aneko inherited her Quirk from her mother- and due to the nature of Sixth Sense, there is a great amount of emotional and physical strain set on the people who have it, and both Aneko and Keina experienced it. Aneko has managed a way to handle the strain and the tension that comes with her Quirk, and has shown to have an incredibly strong will to be able to contend with it- her mother however, did not have the same willpower and constitution.
Keina was a very timid personality and she was easily affected by many things. Her Quirk was an incredible burden on her and as she grew older, she got to the point of no longer being able to live under it's effects and how it made her feel. She became withdrawn and skittish, and drew away from her husband and her newborn child. She suffered a number of breakdowns and fell into a heavy bout of depression, and eventually she could no longer take living with her Quirk- and was driven to suicide. She died before Aneko ever grew to be a year old, and Aneko was left to be raised by her father alone.
Aneko never knew her mother, and there is little known about Keina. Her father described Keina as a kind person who had a lot of compassion, but she was also shy and quiet and had a poor constitution- unlike her daughter.
Aneko has lived with the fear that her Quirk will drive her insane, and to the point of suicide just like it did her mother- and has lived her life doing what she can to never let that happen.
Relationships:
Shota Aizawa (Eraserhead)
Izaru and Aizawa met one another their first year in UA- when failing to do well on the Entrance Exam, Aizawa was placed in the same General Studies class that Izaru was apart of. In the short few weeks that Aizawa was in that class, he attempted not to get friendly nor close with anyone- but because of Izaru's naturally friendly demeanor, he had little choice but to talk with her and they quickly became familiar with one another. And even after Aizawa was transferred to the Hero Course, Izaru still kept contact with him and would spend time being in his class and around him during breaks. Despite not wanting to make friends, Izaru became a friend to him (she gave him little choice) and they kept up that friendship through their first and second years of school. You could often find her near to him, and their two other friends Nemuri and Hizashi. And despite Aizawa grumbling about it, he and Izaru got along very well and she never seemed to annoy him like everyone else had a habit of doing eventually.
Izaru's friendship with Aizawa turned out to be much stronger than either of them anticipated- and she trusted in him, and thought of him in higher regard than he ever knew or realized. They became quite close and she shared with him that she had a Quirk, after spending her entire school career saying she was Quirkless, and even admitting to him that she was the one behind, the then infamous, Danger Is Near website. She talked to him quite a lot, and he learned more about her and the 'real' Izaru than anyone ever had, or ever would. She cared for Aizawa deeply back in their younger years and he grew to care for her too- and more than he ever realized until she was gone.
Part of the reason that Aizawa is slow to let other people close to him is because of what happened with Izaru. She was one of the few people he ever got close to and allowed himself to open up and relax around- and one of only three people he has ever considered truly being a friend. He let his walls come down for her, and his heart left open- only to get his feelings and his heart scarred when she went missing, and then subsequently died saving him.
Aizawa proved to be fiercely protective of Izaru when they were both held prisoner at the Pit, and he was gentle toward her when she was hurt. He will never say so out loud, but what happened at the Pit, and what he saw happen to her- it hit hard. Really hard, and feelings and ache from that place and about her persisted into his adulthood. He felt guilty over what happened and blamed himself for not pressing the issue of her disappearance further- and was landed further guilt when she sacrificed herself for him.
Since her reappearing, and learning what happened in the ten years she was 'dead'- the reality of what awful things transpired weighs on him just as heavily as the past does. He simply would never let anyone see how much it all hurts, not on anything.
Now, since Izaru joined UA, she and Aizawa are still on good terms with one another. He's very conscious of her, and how she is feeling- and is gentle and patient with her where he doesn't usually show such tenderness with other people. He allows her to call him by his first name with no argument, and he's promised to do what he can to help her readjust, however she needs him. He's also proven to be concerned about her and her well-being and is persistent about making sure nothing is wrong- and when there is something amiss, he does everything he can to make it right again (much to Izaru's annoyance at times...).
Izaru remains loyal to her friendship with Aizawa even after the passage of years and the complications that came with it. She wants to keep a relationship between herself and him, even if she is unsure how to do so now and if it is even appropriate after so much bad has gone on. And nowadays, even though being around or near anyone sets her on edge- she seems comfortable around Aizawa more so than anyone else. Even so far that physical contact between herself and him does not make her as uneasy or tense as it does when in contact with other people.
Hizashi Yamada (Present Mic)
Hizashi became friends with Izaru not long after meeting her. It was his and her mutual friendship with Aizawa that they were able to meet, and soon become friends, and stayed friends during school- and even with them being in two different courses, and all different classes.
Because of Izaru's friendly and social personality back in school- she and Hizashi got along very well, and she never seemed to get annoyed with him or his exaggerated behavior. She handled him and his habits with ease, and they found it easy to strike up conversations between each other- and were content to simply be around one another. A large fraction of their time seeing one another was spent with Aizawa, making them a Trio that was frequently seen- and later a group of four when they became friends with Nemuri.
Izaru helped tutor him in math when his grades were slipping- and he grew to love the generous, friendly and kind nature she had. Izaru and Hisazhi never grew to be as close of friends as Izaru and Aizawa were- but they both genuinely enjoyed being around each other, and Hizashi took his friendship wit Izaru very seriously. He cares for her, and hates seeing her in trouble, or hurt- and he's been hit hard learning what happened to her in the ten years she was 'dead'. Since Izaru arrived at UA, what has hit him the hardest is seeing how uneasy she is around everyone, and knowing that the friendly and bright person he once knew isn't there anymore. Its like the person he knew did die, and he wonders if she'll ever be like how she was- but in the meantime he's worrying constantly over her emotional and mental well-being, but he's not sure how to help... Or even if he can.
He knows that he and Izaru were never as close as she was with Aizawa- and for that, he's not sure if he has any way of making thing better or easier for her. He's also not sure if he knows Izaru all that well, or if she really knows him that well either- and it surprises him to learn that she really does. Izaru considered Hizashi a good friend in school and even in adulthood- she still thinks of him fondly. She knows he's something of a nervous wreck around her, and she's trying to find some way to alleviate his worries. Hizashi still very much thinks of Izaru as his friend, and she does too.
He's very gentle with her, if a bit hovering- and he's quick to try and lighten the mood if he feels the situation needs it. He's still unsure of himself and how to help her, and sometimes even just be around her- but he's trying his best, and Izaru knows it. She does what she can to try and get him to relax a little, and assure him when she can.
Nemuri Kayama (Midnight)
Izaru and Nemuri became friends in the regular occasions of Izaru appearing in Aizawa, Hizashi, and Nemuri's Hero Class while on breaks, at lunch, or even just out of the blue. Because Nemuri had already latched herself on to Hizashi and Aizawa both- she and Izaru were around each other frequently and they hit it off. However their friendship really seemed to solidify after Izaru saved Nemuri from injury in a training exercise in their first year. Izaru, Aizawa, Hizashi and Nemuri have all been friends since school and that friendship has persisted even in age.
Nemuri and Izaru's relationship is very easy-going and they get along well. Things have always been content between them, and Izaru has never seemed bothered with Nemuri's inappropriate behavior or lewd comments. Nemuri is also a very 'touchy-feely' sort of person and lacks boundaries at the best of times. Izaru never seemed bothered by that when they were younger- nowadays though, the contact makes her uneasy and Nemuri has a hard time remembering that. To Nemuri's credit, she is at least always gentle.
Compared with Aizawa and Hizashi, Izaru did not spend as much time with Nemuri as she did with the former two. Despite this though, when they did spend time together things were content between the two of them. Izaru is also the one who suggested Nemuri try a thin, tear-able suit for her Hero Uniform early on- and it was that idea that lead to the design of Midnight's Hero Uniform.
Nemuri seems to have handled finding out what happened with Izaru better than Hizashi and Aizawa both. Though she does hate what Izaru has been through- she's such better at being optimistic about how well Izaru will be able to adjust to everything. She also hovers less than Aizawa, Hizashi and Toshinori- and is the one among Izaru's friends who has been treating Izaru the most 'normally'.
Toshinori Yagi (All Might)
Izaru met the then fresh out of UA and not yet popular Toshinori in a chance encounter in a local park in Kyoto. He was avoiding the training from Grand Torino and bumped into Izaru- they started up a conversation and their relationship blossomed from there.
What started as a chance encounter- soon turned into friendly chit-chat, and then bloomed into full on conversations on all manner of things outside the realm of simple conversation. Toshinori was a friendly person by nature, if a bit shy- but he usually didn't talk to strangers for extended periods of time. With Izaru however, it was easy, and they made an odd pair to be sure. He was quite a bit older than her, and usually that age gap made it hard to hold in depth conversations- but with Izaru it wasn't an issue. She was incredibly intelligent, and knowledgeable- even mature. It was hard not to get along with her, and things between them had always been so content even from that very first day.
Toshinori found that she was rather fun to be around, and they poked fun at one another with ease- he honestly, truly, enjoyed knowing her. And he was genuinely happy for her when she told him that she'd been accepted into UA even without having a Quirk, and she was never hesitant to lend him a hand (small things, little things...) if she could, or throw a suggestion his way. They talked about the things she'd seen other Pros do at her father's Training Facility, and what he taught her- and Izaru listened as Toshinori recanted what Gran Torino and Nana put him through.
They didn't really see one another all that often, in the grand scheme of things- but they knew each other well regardless. They usually ended up running into each other in that same park they had met at, bumping into each other on walks, they exchanged numbers and there would be the occasional, short burst of conversation between them- small, but things were familiar between them anyway. Fast friends, despite being on different tracks, and in some ways living in completely different worlds. A lot of the time though, Toshinori found himself forgetting that Izaru was so much younger than he was, on different social levels even- she always seemed so mature and so knowledgeable about the world, about Pros, all of it.
He really did enjoy what little time he spent around her, and he did miss it when it grew to near nonexistence. Izaru stopped seeing Toshinori that often when the trouble with Danger Is Near started getting to her, and then became nonexistent after Izaru warned him something bad was going to happen- and the day before Nana Shimura died. Like Hizashi, Nemuri and most everyone else- Toshinori did not know that Izaru had a Quirk, and only found out much later the gravity of the warning she had given him about Nana.
He feels guilty and regretful about what happened to her, and blames himself for not being fast enough to save her getting killed back at the Pit. Upon finding out about Simon, he realized that even with him as the Symbol of Peace- there were still people out in the world doing terrible things, and he hated that she had suffered at the hands of someone like that. He feels its on him for not stopping Simon a long time ago, and being unaware of the man for so very long.
Even after everything, he trusts Izaru a great deal, and enough so it doesn't bother him very much at all when he learns that she knows the secret about his Quirk, One for All, and that Midoriya is his Successor. And since Izaru came to UA, though things can be uneasy between them- Toshinori seems much more open with Izaru than any of the other staff at the school. Where he usually keeps from talking about his own life with the other Staff, he has no issue talking to her about personal things, and likes that he has someone who knew him before he became so famous. Because in reality, Izaru knows little to nothing about the exploits of 'All Might'.
Background:
Izaru was raised by her father as a single parent, after her mother died as a result of suicide when Izaru was barely a year old. She had no memory of her mother, and knows little about her mother since her father shied away from talking about her.
Izaru was raised to be largely independent, and able to handle herself even from a very young age. Her father trained her extensively in hand-to-hand combat and taught her to be smart and how to defend herself in the event she might one day need to. Because of this, she is incredibly skilled as a fighter and she has the same mobility, agility, and skill of most Pros- and she's good at critical thought and thinking on her feet in intense situations.
She taught herself to code and became quickly proficient at it- and has proven to be one of the most skilled computer specialist in Japan.
Through Elementary school she didn't live her life under the ruse of being 'Quirkless'. She warned her classmates and peers of incoming trouble and explained why she knew- but they quickly turned on her and began to blame her for the things that were going wrong. They refused her story that her Quirk let's her sense bad things- but instead argued that her Quirk instead brought mayhem wherever she went. This hit her rather hard (given she was young and already unsure about her status and what gold could ever come from a Quirk like hers), and seeing the hostility that emerged despite her trying to help- she quickly decided it was better not to try and explain her Quirk. So instead she began to tell everyone she was Quirkless, and persisted with the lie all the way until her second year of highschool.
Late in middle school and near the start of her time at UA- she created the Notification Site called 'Danger Is Near' where she would post warnings about specific places of the city where her Quirk allowed her to know something bad was likely to take place there. She made it anonymous, and she set up security on the sight so strong that no one could hack into it or trace its origin- not even ten years after the fact.
Izaru was accepted in UA's General Studies department, and the Principal waved the 'Quirkless' Rule for her to enter. She had excellent grades and remained the top of the whole school while there- she was often weeks ahead in every class and she spent the bulk of her time helping other students, departments, and tutoring people. She was well-liked by everyone and there was little she was asked to help with or discuss that she didn't have a good handle on. While she was here, she befriended Aizawa, Hizashi, and Nemuri.
The site Danger Is Near quickly grew in popularity when it became clear that the Warning correlated to actual events that happened after the warning was posted. It gained many followers and skyrocketed through the next several months, and was talked about my many news and media outlets. It was seen in mostly a positive light until a young boy died in one of the sites there had been a warning about- prompting a call for the person behind Danger Is Near to come forward, and many people calling 'him' a Vigilante, and even a Villain. As tempers flared about DIN, Izaru stopped posting as often and her friendly nature diminished until she became sullen and even pulled away from her friends at school.
In her second year at UA, Aizawa confronted Izaru about having a Quirk- and in fact not being Quirkless. She admitted to him she did, and explained what her Quirk was- where after he came to the conclusion that she must be the one behind Danger Is Near- and he was correct. Izaru admitted never intending for things to get so out of hand, and that she had nothing to do with the death of boy that set the fires about DIN aflame. Aizawa told her to come clean to the police and the UA staff, and she did- wherein she spent about a week being interviewed and tested, and there was talk about moving her into the Hero Course.
Soon after this however, she went missing. There was extensive searching for her in the months afterwards, but nothing was ever found and no one had any clue where she might have gone or why.
Two years passed and Aizawa found Izaru again while on an undercover mission as a Pro. He learned she had been kept captive for two years, after having been snatched off the street and forced into an underground Pit Fighting operation that forced people to fight to the death. Despite being there for two years, and the nature of the fights- Izaru managed to stay alive and never defeated any of the people she was forced against by inflicting fatal wounds, or killing them. She had also survived the most battles and been there the longest of any of the other prisoners.
Despite Aizawa's efforts and that of other Heroes- such as All Might- Izaru suffered wounds that would prove fatal, and then was finally killed when she jumped in front of Aizawa to spare him dying.
Sometime between her body being moved from the hospital and to the funeral- a Villain named 'Simon' took Izaru's body and had a Villain named 'Surge' use his Quirk to shock her heart and her body back to life a number of times until her injuries healed enough she would no longer die. From then on the was placed under the influence of Simon's Brainwashing Quirk, and used as a Mercenary under his authority for the next ten years. She was ordered to hack into, and delete record of her DNA in police databases, as well as burn off her fingerprints. She went under the name 'Seer' and was used to hack into systems, transfer funds, and all other manner of cyber crimes. The bulk of what she was compelled to do by Simon is still largely unknown, however.
Trivia:
- She is left handed
- She has a tattoo on the underside of her right wrist and lower arm. The tattoo itself is a small section of notebook paper lines, and she often she has notes written across her skin. She always carries a pen with her for this reason.
- She has a multitude of scars. The most distinguished are two on her left shoulder, two on her lower left and right arm, one across her neck, and a very large one on her back between her shoulderblades and shifted right a bit.
- She has no fingerprints. Each fingertip has burn scars, from when under the influence of Simon's Quirk, she was ordered to burn her fingerprints off to help better conceal her idenity.
- She has a hidden talent for art. She's good at illustrations and drawings, but few people know this.
