Mina Ashido

Mina Ashido, also known as Pinky, is a character from the My Hero Academia series.
== Charactah Account ==
An emotional and excitable girl with a strange alien-like appearance. Her Quirk, "Acid", allows her to produce corrosive liquid through her skin. She can manipulate its level of solubility and viscosity, but excreting too much acid will eventually start to damage her own skin.
Mina is cheerful and most of the time seen with a smile on her face. She is easily excited, but also very emotional and easily brought to tears in various situations, out of relief, out of sadness and out of frustration. However, she is still very easygoing, having no problem being completely naked in front of other people, however, she still doesn't appreciate being peeped at by Minoru Mineta.
Mina is also very sociable and eager to engage in social situations and is shown to become very upset when she is denied an opportunity to be at a gathering or event she looks forward too.

== Trivia ==
* Mina's design during the preliminary stages of the series was relatively similar to her final design, albeit with a lankier physique. This design also possessed longer, more elaborate horns, prominently straight teeth like Hanta Sero's, rounder eyes, visible blushes on her cheeks similar to the ones Ochaco Uraraka has, and slightly longer hair.
** Because the twisted horns were considered difficult to draw, this design was eventually dropped, with the current Mina design having smaller, simpler horns.
* Mina ranking in the Popularity Polls are the following:
** Ranked 24th in the 1st Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 21st in the 2nd Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 36th in the 3rd Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 39th in the 4th Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 29th in the 5th Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 28th in the 6th Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 41st in the 7th Popularity Poll.
** Ranked 9th in the 1st English Popularity Poll.
* According to Mina's Volume 4 profile:
** Her favorite thing is dancing, a trait that's shown more in later chapters.
** Her favorite foods are Okra and Natto.
** Mina is considered one of the stronger students in Class 1-A, having the best reflexes among the girls.
** Kohei Horikoshi regrets not giving Mina more screen time, at least by that point.
** Incidentally, Mina is the only Class 1-A student featured in the extras section of Volume 4.
* Mina's known U.A. data is as follows:
** Mina is student No. 2 in Class 1-A.
** Ranked ninth during Shota Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test.
** Ranked in the Top 8 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
** Ranked nineteenth in Class 1-A's mid-term grades.
* Mina has "never liked anyone, but wishes she can be in love".
* Mina and Yuga are the only Class 1-A participants of the U.A. Sports Festival Fighting Tournament who didn't receive a nomination from a Pro Hero.
* Mina's surname contains the kanji for "reed" (ashi) and "door" (do), and her first name contains "three" (mi) and "apple tree" (na).
** Mina's surname is almost homophones to the Japanese pronunciation of "acid" (ashiddo).
** The first kanji in her given name, "three" (mi), can be read as "san", which is also the pronunciation of the Japanese word for "acid" (san).
* Mina's initial choice of her hero name, Ridley Hero: Alien Queen (Ridorī Hīrō Eirian Kuiin), is a direct reference to Ellen Ripley from Alien, where the titular creature of the film is an extraterrestrial being that possesses acidic blood.
* In My Hero Academia: Ultra Archive: The Official Character Guide, Mina's profile mistakenly lists her birthday as July 15th.
* Mina, Momo Yaoyorozu, Minoru, and Tsuyu Asui all share the same costume designer.
* Mina's English voice actor, Caitlin Glass, also voices Kai Chisaki as a child in the anime.
