Himiko Toga

Background[]

The world of My Hero Academia is a fascinating one indeed; where thanks to genetic evolutions, 80% of people bear Quirks, effectively superpowers. But for every angelic super-strength or telekinetic star, there's a blood-craving draculina, and one who is hated for having the Quirk of a “Villain”, as was the tragic case with Himiko Toga.

As a child, Toga had always had an interest in the blood of others, starting with gleefully finding an injured bird, much to her parents' constant fear and harsh attempts to force her to be normal. The two eventually deemed her an inhuman freak after hearing she drank her friend's blood, and in their fear, all but forbade her from consuming blood all together. In their hubris, they never considered that due to Himiko not receiving proper counseling on how to regulate her bloody desires, she would eventually…snap. After seeing a child at her school bloodied and battered from fights, she would become enamored with blood as a whole, warping her perception of love, and culminating in her sharing this love with her finding that boy she liked…and slicing his throat to drink his blood like a true vampire.

After this, Toga left her family and disappeared from the grid for years, until a certain Hero Killer was arrested, and grouped with a certain villainous league by the media. Going to them, and sympathizing with their dreams to tear down the society that had itself tore her down, Toga found a new family through kindred spirits like Mr. Compress, Spinner, and Twice. She even found new “friends” in UA High's hero course, Ochako Uraraka, and Izuku Midoriya. For Toga, everything seemed perfect…until it all fell apart. As a result of a full-blown war between the Heroes and Villains, her brother in arms, Twice, was killed by a hero named Hawks. The one person who Toga truly loved was gone, and the world would pay the price. With a vial of his blood and his Quirk at her disposal, Himiko unleashed an army of her repressed and boiling hatred on the Heroes, and would have killed them all.

But unlike those who would view Toga as a monster, Uraraka could see past her hardened exterior to the scared little girl inside, who never had a friend, or one who could live with her bloodthirst. She fought through all of this repressed anger at the world, with a smile on her face, and spread this smile to Himiko once more, even while bleeding out. Stopping her assault and finally having their long-awaited chat about romance, like other “normal” teenage girls, Toga then did the exact opposite of all she had done for years: Give. She had taken blood, lives, and so much more, but with her final choice, Toga gave her blood to the dying Uraraka, transferring it so that she could live, even though she herself would die as a result. How ironic. With all that was taken from Toga, and all that she had taken from others, just a simple act of kindness would lead to her giving her life in service of another; all while bearing the cutest smile in the world.

Powers & Abilities[]

Transform: Himiko's Quirk grants her the ability to transform into a physical lookalike of another individual, as well as copy their voice. She can only transform into people whose blood she has ingested. The more blood she drinks, the longer she has access to that person's form. For example, 1 cup of blood lets her transform for a total of 18 hours. She can switch between the appearances of multiple people if she drinks the blood of more than one person. She can even duplicate a person's clothing, though, her own clothes would overlap the transformation, requiring her to get naked beforehand. Upon deactivating her Quirk or switching to another disguise, Himiko's disguise melts into a gray viscous liquid. During her fight with Curious and her soldiers, Himiko's Quirk underwent an Awakening, giving her the ability to use the Quirks of the people into whom she's transformed, something that she was previously incapable of doing. Although, Himiko can only use another person's Quirk if she is fascinated by that person and holds that person close to her heart, and she must have sufficient information on their power.
- Skill Release: Himiko uses Ochaco's Zero Gravity to negate the gravitational pull of objects, then release the effect on them, causing them to barrel toward the ground.
- Sad Man's Parade: By copying Double, Himiko is able to replicate Twice's signature Ultimate Move, swarming her opponents with countless Doubles of Twice.
  - Sad Man's Death Parade: Himiko endlessly clones versions of herself transformed into Twice with the express intent of killing anything in her way.
- Sad Man's Legion: By using her Transform Quirk to duplicate Twice's Double Quirk, Himiko is able to create a legion of clones that take the appearance of several Heroes and Villains, whose blood was taken from the battlefield of the Gunga Mountain Villa Ruins.
Tantōjutsu: Himiko is very proficient with knives, which she uses along with her enhanced agility. She stabs her enemies at a close distance or throws her blades from a considerable distance. She even incapacitated Rock Lock before stabbing him unconscious.

Equipment[]

Combat Knives: Himiko is usually equipped with several knives in her arsenal. They are small knives with a black handle about the size of her hand that stretches longer than the actual blade itself. Even so, she makes them effective in combat.
Blood Sucking Machine: Himiko's villain costume is equipped with a blood sucking machine attached to her utility belt. As the rear of the belt are two large green tubes with wires connecting to six cylinders armed with retractable needles. She can throw the needles from a distance using the wires or stab her opponents directly. Either way, as long as the needle connects, the machine will begin draining the victim's blood. The blood is stored in tubes that are attached to the machine and can be saved for later. However, the machine is also connected to a mask, that allows her to drink the blood directly when it is being sucked out. Sometime before the Final War, her device had received an upgrade, with it now having jet-powered needles that Himiko can freely control rather than having to throw them.
- Capsules: The blood can be stored in capsules so Himiko can use for later use. The capsules have a metal tube she can drink out of in order to Transform. She stores them in a green box she has on her torso.

Weaknesses[]

As capable and deadly as Toga is, she is by no means invincible, far from it. Her transformations do not magically make her stronger, and she can only take so much damage before being taken down.
Her transformations also do not last forever, meaning that as powerful as Uraraka and Twice’s Quirks are, she does not have permanent access to them.
Her incredible stealth also requires a moment for her to get out of her opponent’s sight, so if she cannot create that moment, she cannot capitalize on her talent.
