Hanta Sero

Hanta Sero, also known as Taping Hero: Cellophane, is a character from the My Hero Academia series.
== Charactah Account ==
A chipper, down-on-his-luck boy whose Quirk, "Tape", allows him to shoot unusually strong tape out of his slot-like elbows, which he can use to restrain foes, hold together large objects, or swing through the air with great mobility. His plain face is often the butt of many jokes, as is his unfortunate tendency to be shown up by others.
Hanta is a very friendly person and has proven to be one of the more sociable members of Class 1-A. He can be loud and showy at times, often trying to impress his peers with his Quirk. Oftentimes, Sero is the only person to call his classmates out when they are acting crazy. He is quite humorous and often takes part in making jokes with his classmates. However, when push comes to shove, Hanta is a brave hero in training who wishes to prosper on his own while helping others do the same.
