Nemuri Kayama (Midnight)

Nemuri was a tall, curvaceous woman with sky blue eyes that tilted downward in the center and were framed by a set of rather long eyelashes. She had long, thick, spiky, dark purple hair, which was made up of layers of varying lengths, the longest ones reaching down below her waist. Her chin-length bangs were split into three sections: two swept to the sides and one over her face, going diagonally down to the left between her eyes. She also had a small beauty mark below her left eye, as well as red-painted nails. During her years at U.A., Nemuri's hair was much shorter, having reached down to her chin. She also wore pink, rectangular-frame glasses, and painted her nails the exact same color. Her original hero costume was also much more revealing, with her breasts being covered by black protective plates, along with only undergarments, which were covered with a brown utility belt that held her whip. She was otherwise completely bare aside from an unbuttoned, high-collared green trench coat. She also wore a double belt choker, black fingerless gloves with a silver ring in her palms, knee-high deep red boots with folded-over cuffs with silver accessories, and large, angular shades that are tinted purple, different from the mask she wears now. When disguised as "Kaori" on a mission to root out groups distributing Trigger at mixers, she wears a short blond wig, a light blue, cable-knit sweater that reaches mid-thigh, and dark purple leggings with light lavender diamond-shaped pattern on the outer sides. She also wears a white jacket and heels before taking them off for the mixer.[5] Later on, she is revealed to wear an extremely skimpy leotard underneath that matches her leggings. Her hero costume was remarkably similar to one of a traditional dominatrix. She wore a breastless, black leather leotard—similar in style to a corset—over a thin, skin-tight, white bodysuit (flesh-colored in the manga), which accentuated her voluptuous figure. The center strip of her leotard was embellished with red gemstone-like accessories in a vertical pattern, extending from her collar to her midriff. She also wore light purple, thigh-high garter stockings, which were attached to a burgundy utility belt decorated with gold studs around her hips, a matching pentagonal buckle in its center, and black stiletto knee-boots. She had a small red mask outlining her eyes, a pair of handcuffs on both her wrists, and was often seen carrying a flogger-style whip. The white bodysuit was made of thin material that is easily tearable, so she could more easily use her Quirk. Nemuri had stated in an interview that she was trying varied materials to find out what works while adhering to costume regulations. In My Hero Academia: Vigilantes (and briefly in Chapter 24), she is also shown wearing stud earrings, with the Vigilantes anime adaptation, and some colored artwork of its source material, also depicting her as wearing reddish-pink lipstick while working. Nemuri was a very playful, flirtatious, and perverted person with an unpredictably serious and temperamental side to her. She got angry whenever someone interrupted her or insulted her, and, when it came to insults, she was especially sensitive about her age. Nemuri had no shame for dressing or acting sexually in front of the adult students and appeared to act on whims most of the time. When she accepted Mashirao Ojiro and Nirengeki Shoda's request to resign from the tournament, she commented that their naivety "turned her on." She was also excited to see the chivalry displayed by Eijiro Kirishima during the tournament when he shook Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu's hand. Her love of "youth" or people that are 18+ was also a reason why she got angry when someone mentioned her age or called her old. When Class 1-A needed to decide on code names for their internship, Nemuri displayed her willingness to help her students by making sure they chose names that would represent themselves well. During the First Term Final Exams, Nemuri admitted to Minoru Mineta that she has a sadistic side and enjoys dominating others. She can be impressed with those who resort to genius plans, as Minoru amazed her using tactical thinking to defeat her by luring her out and leaving her trapped in place before passing the gate.[6] Despite her flirtatious and perverted personality, Nemuri was intelligent, perceptive, and articulate. For instance, in an interview, she logically explained the reasoning behind some heroes having revealing costumes to make full use of their Quirks, thus leading to "sexy" costumes, and how her previous "scandalous" costumes single-handedly led to the institution of hero costume regulations. However, in response, Mt. Lady commented that Nemuri simply likes dressing the way she does for attention, and given her frequent posing while on TV or addressing the media, this in itself was quite likely. Nemuri’s quirk is Somnambulist, a powerful emitter-type ability that allows her to secrete a sleep-inducing, lavender-colored aroma from her skin. By inhaling this aroma, targets fall into a deep sleep, making it highly effective for incapacitating enemies in close-range combat, though it works better on females than males.
