Hi everyone! Sorry, it's been a while, but my junior year has been keeping me busy. The only good thing about this coronavirus is that I have a lot more time to work on my stories and art.

This piece was made when one of my friends, who watches My Hero Academia/Boku No Hero Academia, came up with an idea for what Quirks we'd have if we were in the manga and show. I designed this OC of myself and plan on doing a lot more drawings of her. I plan on redoing small scenes in the manga/show if she were there, and I do plan on bringing my friend's OC into it as well.

As you can tell from the small bit of info on her, her name is Aika. The Quirk my friend came up with was Hair Manipulation. She can control the hair of anyone she touches, up to three people at once, and can manipulate the length and strength of each strand and can control its movements, much like Best Jeanist or Shiozaki (the girl with vines in Class 1-B).

She can control her own hair, which is why she keeps it long and makes sure it is extra strong. Just in case she needs to jump into the fray, she doesn't need to waste precious time and energy to prepare it beforehand. The downfall is that, no matter how much she strengthens it, her weakness is fire. So she doesn't ever want to get into a fight against Katsuki or Shoto, as their Quirks either include fire or produce it. Which makes it annoying at the sports festival because they're at the top of their class and have the best chance of winning.

Aika would be best friends with Kendo and Tetsutetsu, and like Kendo, she'd also keep Monoma in check. She would be that one person who is friends with everyone, and if they aren't her friend by the end of the day, she wouldn't give up until they were. Aika's goal is to make the world a happier place, so she always smiles and tries her best to make everyone around her smile as well. This goal comes from her admiration of All Might and a certain event in her past. Now, I won't tell what that event is, but I may reveal it in future drawings of Aika. ;)

As a result of her desire to make everyone smile, she has officially made it her mission to get Katsuki and Shoto to smile more. I like to think it is a mostly fruitless endeavour that Aika mostly just has fun with. Her favourite food is mochi, and her birthday is August 1st, making her astrological sign Leo. (Random thing but I accidentally typed 'Lweo' before fixing it and I busted out laughing god what is this quarantine doing to me?)

So what do you guys think? Do you want to see more of Aika? Tell me your thoughts! And remember to stay safe!
