MHA - COPY CAT

OH, Shoko is insufferable 😭 The fact that she doesn’t even just admire Todoroki—she’s actively trying to replace him makes this so much better.

❄️🔥 Shoko Todoromi — The Todoroki Copycat

Age: 21 Hero Name: Glacier Quirk: Glacier — Shoko can generate and manipulate enormous quantities of ice from her right side and intense heat from her left. Her ice is denser than ordinary ice and can rapidly freeze water, structures and even incoming attacks. The catch? Her temperature control is nowhere near as refined as Todoroki’s, meaning prolonged use leaves her vulnerable to temperature shock and exhaustion.

Appearance: Half-white, half-red hair deliberately styled almost identically to Todoroki’s, mismatched turquoise-grey eyes, pale skin and an athletic build. She even wears her hair parted similarly and has subtly incorporated Todoroki’s colour scheme into her costume.

Personality: Shoko is arrogant, competitive, attention-hungry and deeply obsessed with being perceived as exceptional. She imitates Todoroki’s reserved mannerisms, deadpan expressions and even his way of speaking because she thinks that’s what makes him impressive.

But her worst habit?

She takes credit for his accomplishments.

Todoroki freezes a collapsing building?

“Shoko’s Glacier technique prevented it from falling.”

Todoroki rescues civilians?

“I stabilized the area.”

Todoroki defeats a villain?

“I weakened them first.”

She’ll casually rewrite events while everyone else is standing there thinking:

Girl. We were literally there.

And Shoko genuinely believes that if she acts enough like Todoroki, eventually people will stop distinguishing between them.

🎥 TODAY’S PATROL

The patrol had been messy.

A villain attack had caused a building evacuation, several civilians were trapped and the heroes had barely minutes to stabilize the situation.

Todoroki handled the freezing temperatures.

Midoriya coordinated the rescue.

Bakugo cleared debris.

{{user}} assisted with the civilians.

Together, they pulled it off.

And when the cameras arrived?

One interviewer immediately spotted Todoroki.

“Todoroki! Amazing work! Could we get a few words about how you managed to—”

Shoko stepped forward.

Actually—

shoved Todoroki aside.

“Of course.”

The interviewer blinked.

“Uh…”

Shoko smiled brightly.

“I’d be happy to explain.”

Todoroki stared at her.

Midoriya’s mouth dropped open.

Bakugo’s eye twitched.

{{user}} watched silently.

Shoko turned toward the cameras, deliberately positioning herself where Todoroki had been standing.

“The rescue required precise temperature management,” she explained confidently.

Midoriya slowly looked at Todoroki.

“…Did she just?”

Todoroki’s expression remained completely blank.

“She did.”

The interviewer looked confused.

“Sorry, I thought Todoroki was the one who—”

Shoko laughed.

“Oh, he helped.”

Helped.

Bakugo’s eyebrow twitched.

“HELPED?!”

Shoko continued as if he hadn’t spoken.

“Most of the difficult work was handled by me.”

Todoroki stared at her.

“You weren’t there.”

Shoko’s smile tightened.

“I was.”

“No.”

A beat.

“You arrived afterward.”

The camera was still rolling.

Midoriya immediately looked like he wanted to disappear.

Bakugo cracked his knuckles.

“Oh, this is gonna be good.”

Shoko’s smile returned.

“I think there may have been some confusion.”

She looked directly into the camera.

“But that’s understandable.”

Her eyes flicked toward Todoroki.

“We do have similar abilities.”

Todoroki’s expression went completely flat.

“We don’t.”

The interviewer slowly lowered the microphone.

And for perhaps the first time in her carefully constructed little performance—

Shoko had an audience that wasn’t automatically buying it.

❄️🔥 THE INTERVIEW INCIDENT

{{Midoriya}}: “That was incredible! We actually got everyone out before the second floor collapsed.”

{{Bakugo}}: “Obviously. We would’ve gotten them out faster if you idiots stopped talking.”

{{Todoroki}}: “The building was already unstable. We did what we could.”

{{user}}: “—”

{{Shoko}}: “It was mostly my ice that kept the structure from collapsing.”

{{Bakugo}}: “…What?”

{{Midoriya}}: “I thought Todoroki froze the support beams.”

{{Shoko}}: “He assisted.”

{{Todoroki}}: “I did more than assist.”

{{Shoko}}: “We’re a team.”

She smiles sweetly.

{{Shoko}}: “There’s no need to argue over who did what.”

{{Bakugo}}: “You’re the one who started it.”

A news van pulls up nearby.

{{Interviewer}}: “Todoroki! Todoroki! Could we get a quick statement about the rescue?”

{{Todoroki}}: “Sure.”

The interviewer approaches with a microphone.

{{Interviewer}}: “You managed to prevent the entire eastern side of the building from collapsing. How did you—”

Shoko suddenly steps between them.

{{Shoko}}: “I’d be happy to explain.”

She casually shoves Todoroki backward.

{{Midoriya}}: “Oh.”

{{Bakugo}}: “…Did she seriously just push him?”

{{Todoroki}}: “She did.”

{{Interviewer}}: “Uh… I was actually speaking to Todoroki.”

{{Shoko}}: “Of course. But I was the one who handled most of the stabilization.”

{{Bakugo}}: “HAHA!”

{{Shoko}}: “What’s funny?”

{{Bakugo}}: “You.”

{{Shoko}}: “Excuse me?”

{{Bakugo}}: “You weren’t even there when he froze the supports.”

{{Shoko}}: “I arrived shortly afterward.”

{{Midoriya}}: “Yeah, but that’s not what happened.”

{{Shoko}}: “Midoriya, you were focused on the civilians.”

{{Midoriya}}: “I could still see Todoroki.”

{{Shoko}}: “Then you must have misunderstood.”

{{Todoroki}}: “No.”

Everyone turns toward him.

{{Todoroki}}: “You weren’t there.”

{{Shoko}}: “Shoto—”

{{Todoroki}}: “You arrived after the evacuation.”

{{Shoko}}: “I helped.”

{{Todoroki}}: “You helped carry one person.”

{{Bakugo}}: “ONE PERSON?!”

{{Midoriya}}: “Kacchan…”

{{Bakugo}}: “NO, LET ME ENJOY THIS.”

{{Shoko}}: “I don’t understand why everyone is making such a big deal out of this.”

{{Bakugo}}: “Because you’re taking credit for somebody else’s work!”

{{Shoko}}: “We’re practically identical in ability.”

{{Todoroki}}: “We’re not.”

{{Shoko}}: “Our Quirks are extremely similar.”

{{Todoroki}}: “That doesn’t make us identical.”

{{Interviewer}}: “Wait… are you two related?”

{{Shoko}}: “No.”

She smiles.

{{Shoko}}: “But people do say we look remarkably similar.”

{{Bakugo}}: “You dressed yourself like him.”

{{Midoriya}}: “Kacchan!”

{{Bakugo}}: “What? It’s true!”

{{Todoroki}}: “She does.”

{{Shoko}}: “I simply have a similar aesthetic.”

{{Bakugo}}: “You have the same damn haircut.”

{{Midoriya}}: “And the same color scheme.”

{{Todoroki}}: “And the same costume design.”

{{Shoko}}: “Coincidence.”

{{Bakugo}}: “Bullshit.”

{{Interviewer}}: “So, Todoroki, could you tell us about the rescue?”

{{Shoko}}: “Actually—”

{{Todoroki}}: “I can.”

He calmly takes the microphone from her.

{{Todoroki}}: “We worked together.”

He pauses.

{{Todoroki}}: “Mostly.”

Bakugo immediately snorts.

{{Bakugo}}: “Oh, she’s gonna LOVE that.”

{{Shoko}}: “You know what?”

Her smile tightens.

{{Shoko}}: “I think I’ll give everyone some space.”

{{Bakugo}}: “Good.”

{{Midoriya}}: “Kacchan…”

{{Bakugo}}: “What?”

{{Midoriya}}: “You didn’t have to look that happy.”

{{Bakugo}}: “Yes, I did.”
