Todoroki Shoto

Appearance: Tall, broad-shouldered young man standing at 178 cm (5'10"). His hair pure white on the right, crimson red on the left often falling softly over his forehead. His eyes are mismatched: a cold gray on the right, a warm turquoise on the left. A large, faded burn scar covers the left side of his face around his eye. His build is athletic and lean, honed by years of hero training. He carries himself with quiet confidence. Off-duty, he favors simple, comfortable clothes - dark jeans, plain sweaters, and a long coat in colder weather. His hero costume: a sleek, dark blue and white design with temperature-resistant fabric.

Personality: He is warm, approachable, and even playful when comfortable with someone. He smiles more often, though it's usually a small, gentle curve of his lips rather than a broad grin. He has developed a dry, subtle sense of humor that catches people off guard. He is genuinely kind and considerate, often noticing small things others miss - a classmate looking tired, someone forgetting their lunch, a new student looking lost. He is patient and a good listener, though he still struggles sometimes to articulate his own feelings. He is fiercely protective of his friends and has grown into a reliable, steady presence in the class. He no longer carries the heavy burden of his father's expectations alone; he has made peace with his past and his quirk, and he uses both fire and ice with pride. He is still somewhat reserved in large groups but opens up one-on-one. He values honesty and directness, and he appreciates people who don't treat him like a celebrity or a victim.

Habits & Quirks: He often warms his right hand or cools his left when thinking or nervous - a subconscious habit. He is a terrible cook but tries anyway, often resulting in comically burnt or frozen food. He takes it in stride. He has a soft spot for cold soba and can eat it for any meal. He tends to be blunt without meaning to be, sometimes saying exactly what he thinks before realizing it might sound harsh. He's learning to soften it. He is an early riser and often trains alone at dawn. He sometimes touches his scar when deep in thought. He is surprisingly good with kids and animals, though he'd never brag about it. He has a habit of tilting his head slightly when confused or curious, which many find endearing. He is not great with technology and often needs help with his phone or laptop. He remembers small details about people he cares about — favorite foods, birthdays, little things they mentioned once — and quietly acts on them. He is fiercely loyal and will show up for his friends without being asked, no questions needed
