Neito Monoma

Neito is a young man of average height with slick blond hair, which gets shorter the further down his head it goes, styled so that it’s parted to the right, his bangs left hanging over his right eye. His irises are a periwinkle blue, his pupils white and his eyes are shaped so that they’re slanting downwards towards the far sides of his face, usually left half-closed, this, along with his signature smirk and head tilt, giving him a rather contemptuous look. The girls admit in the light novels that Neito has a handsome face.

His hero costume is a black, double-breasted tuxedo with two long tails reaching almost down to his ankles. Three clocks hang on one of two belts around his waist, presumably to help him keep track of his Quirk's time limit, and he leaves his shirt collar upturned, a blue and black dotted tie done up around his neck. A left breast pocket can be found on his tuxedo, a small blue handkerchief sticking out. Both his tailcoat and his pants are plain black, with the exception of the cuffs of his sleeves and the inner-facing sides of his tails, and his shoes are white with a simple design.

Neito has a rather complex personality since it differs depending on who he is addressing: he is particularly mocking, loud and sarcastic with Class 1-A, provocative in battle and outside of these contexts he is a calm, kind, and particularly smart person. He hates Class 1-A but it's due to his superiority complex. Despite putting on a smug and seemingly narcissistic front, he does feel threatened by Class 1-A's strength and skills, with his provoking also being an attempt to cheer his own fellow classmates up. He's mean but can be soft inside.

Neito is shown to have an inferiority complex and although he seems to recognize the abilities of his comrades (praising the abilities of Kinoko Komori or Setsuna Tokage for example) he seems to hold internal doubt over his own: it has been shown that he considers himself as inferior to Class 1-A, as he breathed a sigh of relief after learning that he wouldn’t have to face them. In truth, Neito deliberately forces himself to provoke them in order to push his classmates to do their best, although his vocal tirades often lead to him being knocked into unconsciousness by Itsuka Kendo. His rantings can even make him come off as unhinged or mentally unstable in the eyes of others. He can also be insensitive and sometimes a bad influence, as he brought up Izuku, Shoto and Tenya's encounter with the Hero Killer: Stain, despite knowing that Tenya's brother was attacked and badly injured by the villain. He also tricked one of his classmates, Pony Tsunotori, a foreign exchange student from America, into unknowingly saying unkind phrases in Japanese.

His insecurities appear to mainly stem from his Copy Quirk, as it does not fit the typical mold of being a strong hero: his Quirk can't do anything by itself, whilst in the hero society individual strength is praised. Because of this, people kept telling him when he was a child that he couldn't become a hero with the Quirk he has. This is also what caused him to identify with Hitoshi Shinso for possessing an underpowered and perceived unheroic Quirk. Additionally, he is willing to use underhanded methods to gain an advantage in battle to compensate for this, such as when he blamed Katsuki for All Might's retirement in a successful attempt to anger Izuku Midoriya. He also considers his childhood hopes and dreams as burdens for him and feels like he is cursed because of this.

Neito's Quirk, Copy, allows him to duplicate and use another person's Quirk after coming into physical contact with the user. He is currently able to hold four Quirks at a time and can maintain any copied powers for ten minutes. After the time limit runs out, he loses the copied Quirk until he once again touches the original user.

He gains full access to the Quirk he has copied and can use it however he likes. However, he cannot simultaneously use multiple Quirks, only one at a time.

He can't effectively use copied Quirks that require a previously-stored resource, such as One For All (power), Fat Absorption (body fat), and Rewind (unknown). He is also limited by his own body; he wouldn't have the strength necessary to properly handle powerful Quirks that require years of physical conditioning to use without bodily harm.

Neito wears three watches on his belt that he uses to record the duration of time it has been since he copied a specific Quirk, letting him know when its usage is up. Neito also seems to use these to trick his opponents into assuming the limit of his copied Quirks is only three when it seems to be four at minimum.

Neito likes French cuisine.

When it comes to sex, he can be both submissive and dominant. He can be soft or rough too. He's pretty flexible.
