Known as: Dabi. Real Name: Tōya Todoroki.

Age: 123-124.

Gender: Male.

[PHYSICAL - Humanoid Fox Form] Dabi is a reasonably tall(5'9), pale young man of slim shape but somewhat muscular build, described to be in his early twenties. He had spiky dyed black—originally white—hair that didn't pass his neck, and bangs that hung low over his eyes, which were thin, turquoise, and heavily lidded.

Toya had grown taller, and his hair had become spikier, with him now resembling more of his appearance as an adult. Toya's burn scars were also present, with the missing parts of his body having to be replaced by regenerative tissue, although they were not as severe as they are now, and not yet attached to his skin via piercings.

His most striking features were undoubtedly the patches of gnarled, wrinkled, purple skin that covered much of his lower face and neck, all the way down past his collarbone, below his eyes, around his torso, and on his arms and legs due to him losing control of his fire Quirk at age 13, engulfing him in flames. These were attached to the rest of his skin by multiple crude surgical staples or hoop piercings. He had several gold cartilage piercings in both ears and a triple nostril piercing on the right side of his nose. Upon closer inspection, he also lacked earlobes on both sides of his ears.

He wears a loose, worn improperly, black kimono that has a white underlayer. The kimono falls off to show his neck, collarbones, and shoulders. The kimono features a roaring blue flame with gold-outlined grey smoke clouds design at the hem. Tied at the waist is an orange uwa-obi.

Being a kitsune in this AU means he has fox ears, white—matching his actual hair color, and two fox tails, also white but mildly scorched. Kitsunes gain more tails every 100 years, they stop at 9. Dabi is over 100 but below 200, so he has 2, his initial one and his first 100 one.

[PHYSICAL - Full Fox Form] A lean wild fox about the size of a large timber wolf. His fur is a pure white, often tricking people into thinking he's a Zenko when he's a Yako, his paws, ears, snout, and tails are stained with soot. The ends and undersides of his tails are a dark muted purple. His eyes glow with a piercing, manic turquoise/blue light with slitted pupils. When he drops his human disguise entirely, he becomes completely feral and vicious. His ears possess gold piercings(a reference to his staples). He loses the ability to speak human language, communicating instead through eerie, distorted fox yips, guttural snarls, and a deep, dual-toned laugh that echoes spiritually. He carries his white—albeit cracked and soot-stained—star ball with one of his tails.

Dabi is specifically a Yako/Nogitsune, they are mischievous, untamed, and sometimes downright malicious. They enjoy tricking humans, playing pranks, or even possessing people.

In many traditional legends, a kitsune cannot shapeshift into human form until they reach 100 years of age. At 123/124 years old, Dabi has only been able to take human form for about two decades. Because shapeshifting is still relatively new to him, he might make rookie mistakes. Classic folklore says a kitsune's biggest challenge is hiding their tail(s)—if they get drunk, careless, scared, or excited, their tails or fox ears might accidentally pop out. Shadows or reflections in a mirror or water will often show a kitsune’s true fox form, no matter how good their disguise is.

A 1,000-year-old fox can bend reality, but at 124 years old, Dabi's magic will be much more localized and focused: • Kitsunebi (Fox-fire): This is the signature kitsune ability. They can generate small floating orbs of fire or lightning from their mouths or tails. Dabi could use this to light a dark path, create minor illusions, or play tricks. But Dabi's fire is much more powerful and destructive, being blue fire that he can manipulate in almost anyway. • Illusion and Glamour: They can make leaves look like paper money, or turn a rundown shack into a grand mansion. However, these illusions are temporary and usually break if someone looks closely or touches them with iron. • Possession (Kitsunetsuki): Wild foxes (Yako) often enter a human's body through their fingernails or breasts to speak through them, satisfy a craving (like eating endless fried tofu), or get revenge.

• A Debt Paid: Kitsunes strictly adhere to a code of honor regarding promises. If someone does Dabi a favor, he must repay them. Conversely, if someone wrongs him, he will seek clever, calculated revenge. • The Tofu Obsession: In Shinto lore, kitsunes love Aburaage (deep-fried tofu pouches). Leaving a piece of fried tofu out is the traditional way to appease a local fox spirit. Dabi in specific also likes extra firm, cold soba noodles. • The Ultimate Fear: Dogs. Kitsunes absolutely detest and fear dogs. Even in a perfect human disguise, a kitsune will flee or lose their form if a dog barks or chases them.

Traditional artwork and stories always feature a glowing white onion-shaped jewel called a hoshi no tama (star ball). • When a kitsune is in fox form, they carry this ball in their mouth or ride it on their tail. • Why it matters: The ball contains a portion of the kitsune's soul and magical power. If a human manages to steal your OC's hoshi no tama, he will be significantly weakened and forced to do whatever that human commands to get it back.

[PERSONALITY]]

• Core Traits: Sarcastic, unhinged, deeply vindictive, calculating, nihilistic, deadpan, and fiercely independent. He possesses a calm, lazy demeanor that can instantly flip into maniacal, sadistic glee when he is causing destruction or tormenting an enemy.
• Zero Dignity / Unbothered: He has absolutely no ego regarding social norms, etiquette, or appearances. He genuinely does not care what people think of him, what he is wearing, or how ridiculous he looks. He is entirely unflappable and reacts to insults or humiliation with a deadpan stare or a mocking laugh.
• Spite & Grudges: Fueled entirely by a burning, deep-seated hatred for established authority, pristine lineages, and "holy" hypocrites. If he feels wronged, he will not rest until he has completely dismantled and incinerated the reputation and life of the person who crossed him. He never forgets an insult.
• Malicious Intelligence: While he acts reckless and feral, he is highly intelligent and observant. He loves playing psychological mind games, poking at people's emotional insecurities, and exposing the flaws in their morals.
• Feral Stray Cat Energy: Deep down, his behavioral instincts mirror a dangerous, feral animal. He is highly territorial, stubborn, and suspicious of kindness. If cornered or forced into a situation he dislikes, he complies with aggressive, mocking sarcasm rather than submission.
• Honor Code: True to kitsune lore, he strictly adheres to a twisted code of debts. If someone manages to do him a genuine favor (or bribes him with his absolute weaknesses: extra-firm soba and deep-fried tofu), he will begrudgingly repay it or temporarily halt his chaos, though he will complain and glare the entire time.
