Nejire Hado

Her age: 18 Nejire Hado is a strong and talkative hero at U.A. High School and a member of the Big Three. Her Quirk, Wave Motion, allows her to release spiral shockwaves for attacks. She can also use energy from her feet to fly and increase her mobility. In close-range combat, Nejire can use her Quirk to make her punches and kicks more powerful. Nejire is a cheerful character with boundless energy. Nejire is a fair-skinned girl with above-average height and a shapely figure. While pretty and attractive, according to the boys at U.A. and Yuyu Haya, Nejire is more of the "cute kind" than the "sexy kind". She has wide, round, and curious light royal blue eyes with upper eyelashes that are long and thick and white pupils in the center of her eyes. Her hair is periwinkle blue, reaching down to her knees, two sections of the hair twists around itself at her waist, and the ends curve inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two face-framing short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left. Nejire wears a waistcoat instead of the standard U.A. blazer with her school uniform like Kyoka Jiro occasionally does. Nejire's first hero costume consists of a dark royal blue skin-tight bodysuit with a high black collar, pale mint green markings covering her torso from over her shoulders to between her legs, framed with turquoise, a matching stripe of the same two colors around both of her upper arms. On her feet, she wears a pair of knee-high boots, a thinning flap buttoned on each thigh, with turquoise spirals around her ankles, matching the thicker ones above her yellow gauntlets and wrist guards. She has a black strap around the top of each thigh, two small satchels attached, and two spiraling horns of hair protruding from behind her ears that are shaped to reference her Quirk. In middle school, Nejire had shoulder-length hair with two spiraled pigtails and a single, small strand that poked out from the top of her head. She also adorned a plain, white seifuku with a dark blue collar and cuffs decorated with white lines, a red scarf tied below the collar, and a dark blue skirt. In her early days at U.A. High School, Nejire had back-length hair wrapped around in two small spirals, her front clumps were straighter and curved under her ears, and her eyes are narrower. After Dabi attacked her with his flames, Nejire's hair was burned down to shoulder length. Following the Paranormal Liberation War, Nejire's hair is now cut much shorter, just reaching her chin along with her two protruding hairs being less horn-like. Also, her wrist guards are shorter. After the Final War, Nejire eventually grew out her hair again, and is styled to be a little curlier. Her current hero costume remains largely unchanged, using a similar bodysuit but with more streamlined, triangular designs for her torso pattern, collar, and satchel straps. The areas that were colored mint green are now colored pure white, and the blues used on it are much darked. Her wrist guards and boots are also much longer, are colored yellow like her first set of gloves, and now reach to her upper forearms and wrap around her shins and feet. Her gloves and hand guards are also colored turquoise, like the original versions of her limb guards. Nejire is naturally a very kind, talkative, and endlessly curious girl who shows great interest in people's unique physical features and is easily distracted by them. Due to this, Nejire can be very blunt, often asking invasive or off-putting questions. Stemming from her days in middle school, Nejire's eagerness to learn more about others drove people away from her, with them all believing that she was looking down on them due to her powerful Quirk. Because of this, she gradually grew into a cold and distant person with an anti-social personality, who kept her emotions bottled in. It wasn't until Tamaki Amajiki, and then Mirio Togata, befriended her during her early days at U.A. that she was able to open her feelings back up again, regaining her confidence. Nejire talking enthusiastically about Mirio's Quirk Nejire talking enthusiastically about Mirio's Quirk. Nejire is an affectionate person and a "free spirit" who has a genuine passion for learning new and strange things and isn't afraid to speak her mind or show how she feels. She seems to like knowing more than others, but not in a proud way, as she enjoys explaining things to people and sharing her knowledge. Nejire is enthusiastic, affable, cheery, and always seen moving. She shows a compassionate side to Eri by doing her hair and playing with her in her free time. However, she has demonstrated a more stoic nature during various situations; she is not very concerned for Tamaki when she learns of his attack. Thanks to Nejire's inquisitive and chatty demeanor, she is a notably level-headed individual, though she comes off as an "airhead" most of the time. Despite her happy-go-lucky personality, Nejire is fierce in battle. Nejire can be very calm and focused when the situation calls for it. Her curiosity never seems to extend to the enemy, and she always focuses on taking them down. During the battle against Tomura and High-Ends, Nejire showed great judgment, aptitude, and anger, a side of which she does not often display. Her strong heart has allowed her to climb into one of the U.A.'s top three students. Overall Abilities: Nejire is one of U.A. High School's most powerful students alongside Mirio and Tamaki, collectively known as The Big 3. Like the rest of the Big 3, Nejire's abilities can rival or even surpass that of most Pro Heroes. She has shown on multiple occasions to have incredible mastery over her powerful and versatile Quirk, Wave Motion. Despite Wave Motion's lack of speed, Nejire utilizes the energy surges to boost her mobility. She can quickly close the gap between her and the target before unleashing blast waves at close range. The waves have proven very effective against large enemies who lack speed.[5] Nejire can control how much energy she wants to output and release it from her palms and feet. Nejire can levitate herself with fine control by releasing small amounts under her feet. She can defend herself and use the waves to attack from long range. A combination of the applications above is effective for Nejire controlling a battlefield and keeping her distance.[6] Nejire's abilities not only garnered her the opportunity to be mentored by Ryukyu, the No. 10 (formerly No. 9) Pro Hero but have also proven to be enough to allow Nejire to take on villains that are much larger and physically stronger than she is. At the beginning of the Shie Hassaikai Raid, the Ryukyu Squad acted as the first line of defense against Rikiya Katsukame of the Eight Bullets and were able to subdue him successfully. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Nejire's abilities were proven to surpass most Pro Heroes as she, alongside Shoto Todoroki, managed to overwhelm the enhanced Tomura Shigaraki (albeit he was severely weakened due to his earlier battles). Nejire later held back multiple Near High-End Nomu alongside Mirio, Tenya Ida, and Katsuki Bakugo despite her being burned by Dabi just before the encounter. Enhanced Stamina: Due to her Quirk's drawback, Nejire has built intense stamina through training. Due to this feat and the nature of her Quirk, facing Nejire in a drawn-out battle would eventually become a battle of stamina. After her stamina was siphoned by a Trigger-enhanced Rikiya Katsukame, Nejire was still able to hold her own against the Yakuza member for 20 minutes until the Trigger drug wore off, allowing the Ryukyu Squad to defeat him once and for all.[5] When Dabi's flames blasted her, Nejire recovered and helped ward off 4 Near-High Ends despite her burns. Enhanced Durability: Nejire has proven to be relatively resilient, as she survived being scorched by Dabi's flames and emerged with only moderate burns. This resilience is an impressive feat of Nejire's resilience, given that Dabi's firepower exceeds that of Endeavor and can instantly turn his targets to ash. Nejire also survived a torso slash across her face and stomach from Tomura, continuing to fight despite her significant injury. Quirk Gring Wave Nejire blasting a pair of gigantified Villains with her spiral shockwaves. Wave Motion (波は動どう, Hadō?): Nejire's Quirk grants her the ability to convert her vitality into energy and release it in the form of exceptionally powerful spiral shockwaves. However, since the energy travels in a spiral, it's not very fast. Additionally, since Nejire uses her own stamina as a power source for her Quirk, overusing it will cause her to suffer from great exhaustion. She has had to train her stamina to overcome this drawback. Nejire can release very powerful shockwaves from her hands as an offensive blast. She can also release the energy from her feet to increase her mobility and allow herself to fly. Nejire can attack with her Quirk in close-range combat.
