Design Change

Okay, I was rethinking Hanako’s design a bit, more specifically her hair. I feel like before joining Class 1-A, she had really long hair, which was pretty much always braided or otherwise kept out of the way. She never really thought about her hair, so she didn’t pay it any attention.

That is, until her ponytail gets caught in something during her first mock fight, immobilizing her long enough that her opponent can beat her and she loses.

She storms off once her group is back in the viewing room, absolutely furious, worrying her classmates. About ten minutes later she returns, with her folding hunter’s knife in one hand, her ponytail in the other, and rough, slightly uneven chin length hair.

Sports Festival: The final fight

Yamada Hanako sat on a locker room bench, meticulously wrapping her MMA wraps around her hands and wrists. She was glad she had the foresight to request fireproof hands wraps as an allowed tool, despite the committee's initial confusion. "I wanted my bo staff, too, but noooo." She muttered sarcastically. " 'That is a weapon, Miss Yamada, you could seriously injure someone!' " She quoted bitterly, lifting her finger as the snobbish head of the committee had done.  Her hand dropped back into her lap and she gave a huff of annoyance. "But the living flamethrower I'm up against is perfectly safe." She added, resuming her task of wrapping her hands, letting her mind focus on her upcoming fight.

It felt like only a heartbeat later when a knock on the door startled her out of her thoughts. Not looking at the poor soul who was sent to fetch her, she stood.

"Yamada-san, they're ready." Said the girl, who was holding the door for her. Hanako nodded, took a breath, and followed her to the match that would decide her fate here at UA.

Hanako could hear the muted roar of the stadium she was under as she made her way to her assigned entrance. She closed her eyes and took another deep breath before opening them, running out onto the field when told. The once muted noise suddenly grew without the protection of concrete and she spared a brief glance at the Jumbotron overhead, whose feed was panning over the excited crowd. The sudden boom of Present Mic's voice forced her to focus on what was ahead of her.

"AAAALLL RIGHT LISTENERS! The moment you've been waiting for! The best of the newest batch of our future protectors are finally going toe to toe. Who will come out on top?" He said, leaning forward in his seat, "Will it be the dragon that's been draggin' everyone down? Here he comes, the powerhouse of the Heroics Course, Class 1-A's very own: Kanna Tatsuo!" The aforementioned teen flew onto the battle area, landing with his leathery wings flared behind him. He grinned cockily and riled up the crowd some more, a scaled fist in the air.

"Or will it be the fleet-footed fighter who has yet to use her Quirk? Here she is, the mystery girl of General Education, Class 1-C's surprise contender: Yamada Hanako!" The girl stepped onto the field, giving one last look of determination at the camera, which was now displaying her face on the screen.

She looked back at the boy in front of her, slightly narrowing her eyes now that she had a brief chance to study him. He held himself in a deceptively casual stance, but her well-trained eyes saw the ripple of muscles preparing to fight and the smirk of a boy who thought he knew how to win.

Tch, he's only fought with people who abide by the same rules as him. She thought, subtly shifting into a balanced, defensive pose. He doesn't know the free for all that comes with street fighting.

"BEGIN!" Yelled Midnight with a crack of her whip, with Kanna immediately leaping at her with a snarl, claws out to snatch up the girl that was right in front of him.

Only, she wasn't there.

Yamada sprang to the side, rolling with her momentum and turning to face him, a teasing smile on her face.

"Is that your special move? Battering Ram?" She called mockingly, receiving a snarl and a jet of flames in reply, which she smoothly dodged.

"Goodness me! What kind of halitosis caused that?!" She exclaimed, fanning in front of her nose. "Because whew! I think you should see a doctor about that!" She quipped, smirking as she neatly performed a back handspring out of his path, followed by a pivot away from another punch. "What's wrong, Big Boy? Do you need me to paint a target on myself?" She asked, eyes wide with false innocence. "Because all you'd have to do is ask! There's no shame in needing help!" She added, smiling sweetly.

" Why don't you use your damn Quirk?" He snarled, wings flaring.  

"Well, it's much easier to dodge when all you're doing is running at me and acting like Puff the Magic Dragon! Why waste my energy?" She explained.

He growled and crouched, preparing to take flight. "Well, let's see how easy you find it to dodge aerial attacks, you Quirkless freak!" He snapped, shooting into the air and chasing her with a long-range spout of flames from his mouth.

She dodged skillfully, waiting for a break in the flames that pursued her. However, one dodge happened a bit too slow, and the flame caught her on the arm. "Hey! I really liked that sleeve in particular!" Yamada pouted, glaring up at him.

"Then fight me! Or do you not have a quirk?" He taunted. "Why else would you keep dodging?" He asked, resuming his onslaught.

"Because," She said, backflipping out of the way. "Not using a quirk doesn't mean I don't have one!" She explained, pivoting out of the way of another burst. "It just means" She added crouching to prep her leap as he paused his fire to take a breath. "I don't solely rely on it!" She yelled, leaping high in the air as he spat out more flames. The spectators seemed to be holding their breath, waiting to see what she would do. She grinned as she started her descent back to the ground, relishing in the shocked gasps of the crowd as she unfurled her wings and rode the thermals created by the heat.  

"Incredible!" Yelled Present Mic, throwing his hands in the air as the girl soared up to meet the dragon mutant. "Not only has she finally revealed her quirk and shocked everyone, she's throwing him off by being his first rival with a flying Quirk! What a twist, ladies and gentlemen!" He cheered, excited by the turn of events.

The teens faced each other as they hovered in the air, silent as they waited for the other to make the first move. Suddenly, Kanna blew a burst of flames at the now airborne girl, who had no time to dodge and caught a face full of flames.

"Rewind!" She coughed out, unheard through the roar of the flames, and everything reversed to the moment before he struck. This time, she took that second to tuck in her wings, dropping like a stone as the flames shot over her head, the radiating heat still burning her skin and the fire singeing the tips of her hair.

"Amazing reflexes from Yamada! If I didn't know better, I'd say she had a foresight quirk!" Commented Present Mic, turning to Eraserhead. "What do you think of her, Eraserhead?"

"Well, though rare, some mutant quirks have a weaker, secondary quirk that presents itself at the time most kids show their quirk," Eraserhead commented casually. "Even rarer is there being a powerful secondary quirk, so I'd say it's always a possibility." He finished, now focusing on the puzzling girl who had managed to get this far into the fight without throwing a single punch.

Back on the field, Yamada kept dodging, until Kanna managed to successfully feint a punch and catch her in the side with a vicious punch, causing a resounding crack to be heard as he connected with her ribs. She dropped lower in surprise, brushing off the pain, but looked up too late as she saw his feet coming at her. Almost too quick for the naked eye, he shoved his feet into her sternum and kicked down, sending her hurtling back to the ground, the force making a crater when she made contact. The dust billowed up around her, obscuring her from view. Kanna didn't stop there, letting out a swirling vortex of fire that he aimed at the crater, the entire stadium watching in mute horror.

Yamada knew she couldn't rewind again when she felt another crack in her ribs and a snap in her right forearm as she made contact with the ground. My injuries are too severe to be fixed in that little time, they'd ask too many questions. She thought with a grimace, closing her eyes against the grit that swirled around her. The sudden roar of flames above her made her throw up her arms and turn her head away, protecting her torso and face. The flames burned through her shoes and pants, burning most of arms and legs.

After what felt like an eternity the flames stopped and she stood on painfully blistered and burned feet. There was an almost feral look in her eyes as she waited for the smoke to clear.  

Kanna landed a small distance away from the crater and waited for the smoke to clear so he could be declared the winner, an almost manic grin on his face as he began to taunt her. " You aren't so strong now, are ya? You idiot Gen. Ed piece of trash! You're gonna wish you had never tried to join the Hero Class. You'll NEVER become a hero!" He yelled, snarling the last bit. His next words died on his lips as he heard a dark chuckle coming from the crater. The dragon-winged teen's eyes widened in fear as the last of the smoke cleared to reveal Yamada in nothing but her gym uniform top, the arms burned off, and the spandex she had been wearing under her pants. The spectators could see through the fresh burns the plentiful scars that patterned the entirety of both legs, leaving them to wonder what caused them.

" How is she still standing?" Murmured Aizawa, eyebrows furrowing with concern. "Even without the burns, she has multiple broken bones for sure. What has she been through that makes it so easy for her to brush off such serious injuries?" He wondered.

The burned girl smiled darkly. "You'll regret saying that." She growled, shifting to spring into action.

She took a breath.

And when she leaped at him, it was like the world stood still.

To all those who watched, the girl became a blur, hitting the boy from every angle. All he could try to do was block the endless onslaught of attacks. He was suddenly swept off his feet by a leg kicking them out from under him and he fell. She stood over him, bare foot on his chest, smiling sweetly down at him. "I think you should admit defeat and surrender." She said. "Oh," She added when he glared up at her, refusing to speak." I wouldn't try fighting back if I were you. When I was hitting you, I wasn't throwing punches like you might have thought. I was pressing the pressure points that could render you temporarily immobilized." She said cheerfully when he belatedly tested to see if her words were true, his eyes widening when he truly couldn't move. She tsked at him, shaking her head with mock sympathy. "I would press the one that undoes the effects, but ooh," She said, looking down at him, eyes going wide with fake innocence and hand going to her mouth with equally fake shock. "I couldn't possibly know how to do that! I'm just an idiot piece of trash from Gen. Ed! What could I possibly do against the big strong boy from the Hero Course?" She asked rhetorically. Her eyes turned cold.

"Yield and I'll undo it." She said, her face hard. "It's as simple as that!"

"...I yield." He said, and she smiled, picking him up with her right hand and propping his immobilized body against her. " Isn't that nice! Now say it loud and clear so everyone can hear you!" She said.

"I YIELD!" He yelled, eyes closed in shame.

"Now that wasn't so hard, was it?" She said, that smile still plastered on her face as she pressed a spot on his lower back and he crumpled to the ground as his body unfroze. She bent down and picked him back up as they came on the field with a stretcher. Right before she lowered him onto it, she put her mouth to his ear and whispered:

"Who's weak now?"

She straightened back up and looked up at the stunned audience and Midnight called out. "The winner of the first-year tournament is 1-C's Yamada Hanako!"

Snapping out of their silence, the crowd began cheering for the girl who beat all the odds.

Hanako smiled and raised a hand to her bleeding nose as she was ushered off the field and into the tunnels by Midnight, where she was approached by Principal Nezu.

"Miss Yamada, after you're fixed up and finished with the award ceremony, I'd like to talk to you about a change in your class schedule..."

Quirk Limitations

Okay, I just realized I forgot to add what her limitations are in her introductions

First up, her wings (aka Flight)

This one’s pretty simple, with most of her limitation being physical strength and ability

Another limit is her increased metabolism which, for Hanako, meant that she couldn’t train it until she started at UA

Right now she can’t fly for extended periods of time

Second, and the more limited, Time Manipulation

She has three main things she can do with this quirk

Stop time

Rewind time

Warp time around her

Her ability to stop time can only last for a 10-second frame without consequence

Right now she can only rewind time back a minute at most, and even that’s stretching it, and only minor injuries are healed, like bruises and minor cuts 

She can warp time pretty well, but too long can have terrible side effects

Overall side effects include:

Nosebleeds (Pretty common. Happens each time she uses her quirk

Headaches(Common with short, repeated uses)

Dizziness

Fatigue (Common)

Nausea

Burst capillaries in her eyes (From overexertion) 

Blackouts (More serious)

There are definitely more things I’m forgetting but, here you go

[kokos-story]

Homelessness Effects

I’m just throwing out a few things Hanako does because of her life on the streets

As mentioned in a previous post, she hordes food like a doomsday prepper

She’s perfected her glare and RBF, and has a poker face to rival Aizawa

She has a ridiculously high pain tolerance

She has quick analytical skills and can predict how her opponent fights

She can easily hold her own against a group of villains

When facing off against a group like that, she fights like a trapped wild animal, vicious as all hell (But still keeps her wits about her) 

She’s defended herself in street fights, so her fighting style is composed of a lot of dirty tricks

She also learned that someone who goes down in a fight will get killed, so she can ignore quite a bit (In her final 1v1 of the sports festival, she got pretty badly battered by her opponent, but no matter what he threw at her, she still got back up)

When going quirkless, she can go days without food without it bothering her

She has scars, lots of them, both physical and mental.

The traumatic memories she repressed cause her night terrors

She has nightmare induced insomnia as a result

Fun Facts on Hanako

Yamada Hanako’s name came after the rest of her features. I knew that she was going to be an orphan, so I needed a name to fit that. Turns out, Yamada Hanako is probably the closest one would get to the Japanese version of Jane Doe.

She’s left-handed, though her fighting is rather ambidextrous out of necessity

She has ADHD-Hyperactive subtype, which I believe a lot of the kids in the hero course have (Or some other variation)

Her design used to have brown wings, but when I realized it would clash with her hero costume, they went to black

The idea that her primary quirk was her wing mutation is probably rooted in the Maximum Ride series which, in rereading it last year, wasn’t as amazing as I thought it was in middle school

Her favorite color is a deep emerald (Totally not because it’s the color of her crush’s best friend’s eyes, what?)

That’s why it’s her costume color

She’s tall for her age at 5′8″ and is probably going to end up 5′11″ ish

[kokos-story]

Never Have I Ever

Hanako was in her dorm room late one night, getting ready for bed when something weird happened: Her phone chirped out a text notification. She paused, genuinely confused. Who the hell’s texting me? She wondered. She had never given her number to anyone, except for-

Oh

Right.

She had given it to Niko, the four-armed class rep.

She’d forgotten about that. 

The blonde sighed as the phone buzzed incessantly. Niko must have added her to some group chat. Deciding she had nothing better to do, she unlocked her phone and began scrolling through the barrage of texts.

Spooder has added Transfer to Tutant Meenage Neetle Teetles

Spooder: WELCOME HANAKO!

Truther:Hi!

Demeter:Welc 

Actual Ray of Sunshine:My goodness, hi Hanako!

Be More Chill: ‘Sup

Yell: HI!

Pears: Hey

Pippin: W E L C O M E

Pupper: Hello

Obi-Wan: Hi, Hanako!

Transfer:I um

Transfer:Hi?

Spooder:Don’t get intimidated by the amount of yelling.

Spooder: It’s not always this loud

Yell:Yes, it is

Spooder: Shut it,Haruto!

Yell: Yes, ma’am

Transfer: Why is my name Transfer?

Transfer: I moved to your class like three months ago

Spooder changed Transfer’s name to Iron Stomach

Spooder: Better?

Iron Stomach:....sure

Spooder: Anyway

Spooder: I forgot to add you until now, and we have some plans for tonight if you’re in

Iron Stomach: Uh...sure? What did you guys have in mind?

Spooder: Well, it’s just a little thing. We’re bored and want to play Never Have I Ever. We wanna get to know each other better

Iron Stomach: Um...

Truther: Don’t worry, I’m making sure no one brings alcohol. We’re doing shots of soda instead.

Iron Stomach: Oh, um. Okay

Spooder: Great! We’re outside your door 

Hanako looked up from her phone with a start as a loud, enthusiastic knock resounded on the door. She opened it to an excited Niko and her trusty friend, Touma. She half-heartedly rolled her eyes as the two dragged her downstairs to where the rest of Class 1-A was waiting.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Time Skip~~~~~~~~~~~~

The game has started off innocently enough, with a lot of things to choose from and Touma (Quirk: Lie detector) keeping people from lying. However, an hour into the game, the statements were getting more and more specific to certain people, which everyone thought was pretty funny.

With it being her turn once more, Niko leaned back in her chair with a smirk.

“Never have I ever...” She paused, looking Kami dead in the eyes ”eaten dog food as a meal!”

Kami glared at her as soon as the words left her mouth, their classmates giggling at the two of them. “Niko, you know damn well I’ve never eaten dog food! Bloodhound is just my alias!”

“Toumo, he’s gotta be lying, right?!”

“Am not! That’s nasty!”

For Hanako, however, the argument sounded muted and distant as she stared at the shot glass of soda in front of her with a sense of anxious dread building in the pit of her stomach. I could always lie and not drink it. She thought, though that idea was stopped in its tracks as her eyes flickered up for a quick glance at Toumo. But Toumo would see right through me and call me out on it anyway. She added grimly. With that, she took a breath, steeled her nerves, and grabbed the shot, downing it in one and slamming the glass back onto the floor.

The thud of the glass snapped everyone’s attention away from the arguing duo and over to Hanako, whose trembling hand still clutched her now empty shot glass. She kept her head down, refusing to make eye contact with the rest of the group, though she could feel their questioning gazes burning into her.

After a couple minutes of stunned silence, Niko was the first to speak. “Yamada-san? Are you being serious?” She asked softly, sadness in her eyes at the trembling girl before her. “Toumo, please tell me she lying!” She whispered frantically, eyes darting to her friend, who only shook his head. The rest of the class watched as Niko knelt in front of her, gently taking the glass away with one of her left hands and moving to place her right set on the girl’s arm, freezing as she violently flinched away from her.  The blonde scrambled away from her grasp and stood, facing away from the group.

“Hanako, I just want to know, why?”

There was another silence as Hanako contemplated the simple, yet complicated question. 

“I...”She paused, taking a steadying breathe, “I have to eat a lot because of my quirk, y’know? I’ve never had a steady source of food.” She paused, steeling her expression. “But you do what you gotta do to survive.”She added, her features cold. She roughly shoved the hand that was resting on her shoulder away and stalked away, not looking back at her classmates as she left. “ I’m going to bed.” She called in a forced casual voice. “ Wouldn’t want to be tired for training tomorrow.” She added, exiting the lounge, leaving her stunned classmates with even more questions about the transfer student.

Head-canon: Hanako’s eating habits

Hanako has like a crazy metabolism

Needs all that energy for flying

She eats like, all the time

Constant snacking

One problem: She never had a reliable food source

Had to eat some awful things to survive (Wet dog/cat food, spoiled food, stuff off the ground, things found through dumpster diving)

Now she’s somewhere that had a constant food source

She’s not picky

Her classmates tease her about all the things she’s willing to eat, joking that her quirk is actually Iron Stomach

She’s too ashamed to tell them what she’s had to eat in the past, so they never really know why

They don’t know until a late night game of Never Have I Ever

Another thing she does is hoard nonperishable food from the cafeteria

Look under her bed and you find dozens of soup cans and unopened cereal boxes

It’s a habit she’s probably going to keep well into her pro hero days

[kokos-story]

Just Some Ideas Behind Koko’s fighting

She tries her best to dedicate almost all her training to non-quirk abilities

She’s def had times where using either quirk would exhaust her too much in a battle, so she learned to go quirkless

Her favorite weapon is her bo staff

It’s retractable

attaches to her good ol’ utility belt

Which has all sorts of goodies

like smoke bombs

Her favorite form of fighting: Street Fighting

Not a huge shocker, because that’s where she learned: The streets

She had to be fast, especially without using  her quirk

Was def up against villains with nasty quirks

Also great at parkour

Out of necessity

Easier to evade cops and heroes when doing less savory things to get money

From looks alone, she looks like an average street rat/ bitter teen thug/ possible school dropout (ie, not a huge amount of book smarts)

She’s actually extremely smart

Not supergenius smart, but still

Highly analytical, especially in battles 

Probs has ADHD with how quickly she takes it all in

Great at breaking down quirks and their limitations

Gets vicious when cornered

doesn’t always fight fair

no time for rules when your opponent is trying to kill you

knows a bit of pressure point fighting

[kokos-story]

Background for Hanako

Alright, so this is my girl, Hanako. Here’s some base background info on her

Name: Yamada Hanako

Nicknames: Hana, Koko

Alias: Emerald Storm

Age:14 (Almost 15)

Birthday: 17/3

Quirks: Primary-Bird wings (Along with hollow bones and air sacs for that high altitude breathing) Secondary quirk-Time Manipulation

Pre UA History: Hanako was left at an orphanage as a baby, where she lived until her secondary quirk manifested at the age of five, at which point she ran away because she had seen what they did with the children with strong/useful quirks (Which was sell them off to the highest bidder, a lot of supervillains need weapons). After this, she lived on the streets of Musutafu, rarely using her primary quirk, as it wasted too much energy.  However, she developed her secondary quirk quite a bit, using it by accident when she was younger, but actually doing more meaningful training when she realized she could get into UA with a quirk like hers. She never really had a reliable place to train, so she relied on her own experience with work and navigating the city landscape to get in shape.

Different variations on Hanako’s character design ( Created using the X-Girl Superhero Creator because I cannot draw to save my life!)
