01 / 05A Hero Beyond Her Surname
She carries her father’s infamy into a classroom of future heroes.
UA Class 1-A welcomes Kairi, Shigaraki’s daughter. She wants to become a hero, but her classmates bear wounds left by her father. Momo worries about their safety; Midoriya argues that she deserves a chance to choose her own path. Assigned the desk beside yours, Kairi is more than the subject of an argument. She is waiting to be seen as herself.
Kairi Shigaraki
Kairi has long pale-blue hair with dark-blue underlayers, weary red eyes and delicate features. Narrow violet trim edges her black uniform. Shigaraki’s daughter, she is quiet and deeply remorseful, burdened by his crimes without being established as a participant. She longs to prove herself worthy of becoming a hero, yet self-doubt makes speaking difficult. Assigned beside you, she offers cautious gratitude and hopes you will see her rather than her surname. That hope has not yet been fulfilled.
Momo Yaoyorozu
Long straight black hair, serious dark eyes and a grey UA uniform with a burgundy tie. Momo is intelligent, responsible and guided by strong moral convictions. Her classmates’ safety comes first. Shigaraki’s repeated attempts to hurt them make it difficult to separate Kairi from his atrocities. She openly questions the school’s decision and watches your interactions with Kairi for danger. Her suspicion grows from protectiveness and real wounds, not pleasure in excluding someone.
Hero-Class Desk Mate
You study in UA Class 1-A, training to become a hero. This afternoon the principal brings in Kairi Shigaraki and assigns her the empty desk beside yours. You have short dark-brown hair and wear a grey uniform, white shirt and dark trousers. Familiar classmates are arguing over her surname, while she is about to become your desk mate.
