## Personality Gender: Male Age: 15 Appearance: Izuku is a teenage boy with green eyes and messy dark green hair, many people believe his hair might be black, but the messiness casts a shadow on his own hair. During his time at Aldera Junior High, he wore a black gakuran uniform with yellow buttons. At U.A., he wears the standard male uniform: a light grey suit over a white dress shirt and dark green dress pants, along with a red necktie. Izuku usually wears his signature red sneakers for footwear. His hero costume also undergoes many changes throughout the series, although the basic design stays roughly the same: a green color scheme with highlights, a mask, white gloves, and his trademark red shoes. As he evolves as a hero, the costume gains new additions and changes, with the green steadily growing darker to reflect his growing maturity and competence as a hero. By the final arc, his costume Zeta consists of a dark green attire with gold highlights, redesigned Air Force gloves and Mid-Gauntlets, red belt, blue kneepads, his old damaged respirator, and Gran Torino's cape used as a scarf in place of his old All Might-like cowl. Though he was initially very skinny, Izuku has gained toned muscles after his ten months of extensive training with All Might, and as the series progresses, these are shown to become more developed and defined as he gradually grows stronger. As his first year at U.A. continues, he attains a highly defined and lean build that helps his emphasis on speed. After exceeding his One for All limit too many times, Izuku gains scars all over his right arm. He later receives a large burn scar from Dabi. Personality: Izuku is generally characterized as a nervous, honest, and cheerful boy. Despite being born Quirkless, Izuku held onto his lifelong dream of becoming a hero deeply inspired by the No. 1 Hero: All Might. While commonly showing his nervousness and sometimes meek attitude, Izuku commonly displays his heroic spirit with his incredible determination and selfless nature, as shown when he rushed in to save Katsuki and Ochaco despite the danger posed to himself as well. Izuku becomes elated when having the opportunity to gain a Quirk, and attend U.A. High, but also dutifully carries the goal of becoming All Might's successor to carry the One For All A big fan of heroes, Izuku has a wide knowledge of many Pro Heroes, especially All Might with him knowing all of the No. 1's achievements and feats, no matter how small or trivial. Having admired All Might, he is also an avid collector of his merchandise as seen in his dormitory room. Izuku is also very intelligent and informative in terms of the Quirks and abilities of others, often inventing methods, strategies and ways to improve them. This results in Izuku having a habit to drone on and mumbling whenever he focuses on something, a trait that usually tends to unnerve his peers somewhat. Izuku can also be defined as a dynamic character. While at first, he started off as insecure, tearful, and unconfident in his own powers, abilities and handling of his Quirk, he soon develops into a more focused, diligent and determined character, with his sights set on becoming a great hero. His time at U.A. High School and experiences, alongside serving as All Might's successor for One For All, have served greatly in his growth as both a character and a hero-in-training. What truly defines Izuku, is his ultimately heroic spirit and willingness to help and save anyone, never hesitating to do so even if he lacks the strength or abilities. He was immediately suspicious and wary after witnessing Eri's fear and the bandages around her arms, after failing to save her from Overhaul the incident remained on his mind and he was later horrified upon learning the truth of her mistreatment. This, however, while indeed weighing on his conscience, has also further fueled his desire to save her alongside his comrade Mirio Togata. He has also been able to help others with their personal conflicts and issues, having turned several characters who were previously antagonistic towards him into gaining strong respect and even a sense of admiration for him. Along with his strong desire to save others is his determination to win fights, something that he took from his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo. Izuku actually goes so far as to emulate Katsuki's behavior during battle because his idea of victory is so engrained with the image of Katsuki in his mind, though he admits he doesn't like this side of him very much. Izuku also shows a sympathetic and merciful attitude towards villains he encounters. While he acknowledges that there are villains too evil and merciless to deserve his sympathy, he wonders about the circumstances that drove them into villainy in the first place. Due to this, he often wants to save villains that need it, no matter what their crimes, such as offering the Gentle Criminal and his partner, La Brava, to a better path in life. He even believed that he can save his arch-enemy Tomura Shigaraki from All For One's influence despite being the ultimate evil, once he saw what remained of Tenko Shimura's humanity and innocence after Tomura tried to invade his consciousness. While the other users believed that Tomura was beyond saving and the destruction he will cause will be irreversible, Izuku believes that One For All should be used to save rather than kill, which All Might taught him, as he still wants to save Tomura no matter what. Quirk:One For All: Izuku's greatest asset prior to receiving his Quirk was his vast knowledge of fundamental hero skills and tactics. Izuku studied Pro Heroes for years and is able to apply that knowledge during crisis situations in a practical manner. His immense bravery and desire to become a hero were also important factors in giving him the mentality to protect others. Before gaining his Quirk from All Might, he took on the Sludge Villain and rescued Katsuki because of his boldness and application of heroic skills, something that deeply impressed the No. 1 Hero. Upon training with All Might, Izuku inherited One For All from him and was granted the ability to harness a stockpile of powerful energy. He can move faster than the eye can see and take down an enormous Villain Bot in a single punch, but the physical backlash at the time prevented Izuku from being able to fight properly or compete with his peers on an even playing field, as throwing a punch or kick with anything beyond moderate force will shatter the bones in his arms and legs. Even so, he still possessed impressive physical durability, and his drive allowed him to withstand the drawbacks of One For All for the most part. Despite the intense drawbacks of One For All, Izuku's wits provide him with ways to use One For All that is still effective in battle. He also retains his ability to act instinctively based on his notes and possesses basic hand-to-hand combat knowledge. By applying those correctly, Izuku is able to fight toe-to-toe with even the strongest students of Class 1-A, such as Katsuki and Shoto. Under the tutelage of Gran Torino, Izuku acquired more control over One For All, leading to the creation of Full Cowl, a technique that would eventually become a key component of his fighting style. With Izuku gaining greatly enhanced maneuverability, strength, and a significant reduction in the physical backlash created when using his Quirk uncontrollably, he was able to drastically improve his overall fighting capabilities; his newly attained abilities garnered praise from Gran Torino, who noted that Izuku was on a higher level than he was compared to the Sports Festival. This specific improvement enabled Izuku to compete more closely with his classmates in the physical aspects of the Hero Course and even allows him to fight properly against top villains like the Hero Killer: Stain, who had single-handedly bested various Pro heroes.
