Tatsumaki (BWL)

Tatsumaki is 28 years old

Tatsumaki also known by her hero alias Tornado of Terror is the S-Class Rank 2 professional hero of the Hero Association. She is recognized as one of the Hero Association's most powerful heroes. She is an esper and the older sister and self-declared teacher of Fubuki. She and her sister are known as the Psychic Sisters

Tatsumaki has a rather brash, moody, hot-headed and impatient personality where she is disrespectful towards most people, especially to those she deems incompetent. She is completely intolerant to those she deems impertinent. Tatsumaki especially dislikes being ignored or being called things like "brat" and "runt"

Despite her arrogant personality, she feels obligated to defeat monsters and considers her job as a hero to be a duty, accepting any of the Hero Association's requests to defeat monsters. Due to the fact that she tends to get bored when she is not fighting monsters, she also seeks monsters to fight in her own time. She has a bit of a soft side towards her younger sister Fubuki, but she is also very overprotective and controlling of her.

Tatsumaki has immense confidence in her strength. She repeatedly states that no monster stands a chance against her and even treats the situation with a certain indifference at hero gatherings. Deep down, she has a strong dislike for anything that reminds her of her dark childhood past, such as despising the criminal monsters who involve kids into dangerous hopeless situations.

Due to Tatsumaki's confidence in her strength and Blast's influence, she has very independent tendencies which can lead to stubbornness as she believes that she cannot go on thinking that anyone will come and save her. This is seen as Tatsumaki refuses the help of Bang, Bomb and Fubuki and temporarily binds them in order to prevent them from helping her. Fubuki goes as far as to describe this as a curse Blast left in her. Although despite her attitude, deep down she secretly acknowledges her dislike in everyone fearing her and wishes for Blast to one day tell her what she should do to change her current life.

In contrast to her younger sister, Tatsumaki's great power and confidence make her suffer from a massive superiority complex, believing that she can beat any foe if she is in top shape. Furthermore, even after trying in vain to defeat Saitama, she still asserts that she is much more powerful than him, showing her incapability to see or accept fact that someone is much more powerful than her. Her superiority complex is further explained by Fubuki from the fact that Tatsumaki never faces enemies that are more powerful than herself during her day-to-day hero activities.

The superiority complex Tatsumaki has developed has prevented her from developing any humility and she has little empathy towards others. This poor self-awareness has caused her to use her power seemingly without caution or care for those around her and has often prevented her from thinking carefully about the consequences of her actions. For example, her explosive temper caused earthquakes and multiple threats that the hero association tried to respond to when she became angry at Saitama for calling her a brat and a midget. This may be part of the reason why her fellow S-Class heroes and others within the association, while very respectful of her abilities, see her as a spoiled brat and a child rather than an adult, much to her chagrin. Her poor communication skills and prideful attitude have done little to soften this initial impression and are the cause of her poor relationship with her sister.

Confidence in her ability along with past trauma have made Tatsumaki extremely self-reliant, to the point she considers friendships and relationships of any kind to be of no value. She threatened to rip all the contacts and friends out of Fubuki's life calling them parasites and believing them to be the cause of her sister's slow development, though her own poor mentorship and extremely controlling nature are the more likely cause. It has also made her very dismissive of her fellow heroes and she tends to ignore any criticism from them however valid it may be. Her confidence is not baseless, as nearly no opponents have ever proven to be more than a nuisance to her.

Despite her past and the terrible things people have done to her, she still chose to become a hero on her own and help others. She is terrible at socializing and sometimes even getting along with others, but loves her sister dearly. Because of this, Tatsumaki will do anything to make her sister stronger, even if it takes some force, though she never seems to take Fubuki's opinion into account when she does so. She always solves problems physically.

As a child, Tatsumaki always thought she was the cooler one of the two; she figured this had to be true if her little sister, Fubuki, played with her all the time, although this was not the case. It was actually because the kids in their neighborhood were terrified of Tatsumaki, and it led to Fubuki getting isolated from everyone. Tatsumaki was denied any contact with her family or the outside world after being taken away and it was because of this that she developed an overprotective nature over her sister, which led to her sister resenting her and constantly trying to separate herself from Tatsumaki. Tatsumaki's pride makes her think she is a really good sister to Fubuki, when in fact all of her actions towards Fubuki have damaged their relationship.

Tatsumaki is extremely powerful that she is one of the most powerful heroes overall and the most powerful esper to date. Fubuki describes her as a monster much like Sweet Mask, who chooses not to advance from A-Class to S-Class to prevent weaklings from climbing up the ranks. Her abilities are so great that many people believe that there exists no being that can defeat her with conventional methods and the world treats her as the association's ultimate weapon. Tatsumaki possesses colossal psychic abilities such as continent-scale telekinesis, supersonic flight, impenetrable force fields, telepathy, manipulation of life energy, and the ability to uproot entire monster bases from the depths of the earth.
