Willow (My Hero Origins)

Willow Michael is a main character in My Hero Origins. She is a student at Monarch Academy, training to be hero. She is roommates with Levi, Roxie, and Iris. 
==Bio==
Willow is a first-year hero in training in Monarch Academy's class 1-A. She never thought about why she wanted to be a hero and is only doing it for "redemption" and to fulfill a dream that her friend Percy couldn't.
== Appearance==
===Casual===
Willow is dressed in a black sleeveless turtleneck with a green off-the-shoulder T-shirt or shirt. She is dressed in white shorts with crosses on the sides, overknee stockings, and green-white shoes.
She has her hair tied in a high ponytail with a yellow bow and is wearing two bracelets, one on each hand.
The bracelets are yellow with a design of a branch with leaves on it.
===Uniform===
Willow's outfit is unique, as are the majority of the uniforms for each student. Her outfit consists of a white shirt with short puff sleeves, a sleeveless denim blue pullover on top, and a bow tie tied in a regate knot. She also wears a red skirt, black shoes, and her bracelets.
===Hero Outfit===
Willow's hero costume is far more complicated than anticipated. There appears to be a significant difference between the original first appearance of Willow's character and now.
Willow's new hero outfit consists of a black off shoulder full bodysuit with a green cropped open vest with golden assets on the end and two golden branches with leaves on the back as well as two golden branches on the front.
She is also wearing a tight-fitting raspberry red cummerbund, a brown belt with a golden frame on her waist, small bags on the side and raspberry red high boots.
==Personality==
Willow has an upbeat, outgoing personality. She enjoys complimenting everyone around her and making new best friends. Despite this, she appears to be quite naive, ignoring the media and anything negative for a reason.
Percy appears to jokingly refer to her as a troublemaker and someone who is too much to handle.
== Plot==
At the beginning ,Willow is in her room when Chipper, a bird with whom her father, Lion Micheal, has a close relationship, pays her a visit. Willow assumes Chipper is here to speak with her father and lets them in, closely followed by her. She returns to her room to retrieve Stump, a potted tree she considers to be her best friend.
While downstairs, she receives a letter from her mother informing her that she has been accepted into Monarch Academy.
Fast forward to Willow waving goodbye to her family and departing for the city.
At first, she appears nervous about her first visit to the city, seemingly doubting herself, causing her bracelets to flash.
Her nervousness appears to have faded after the flash of the bracelets, as she comments on the weather and continues.
She arrives at a pond surrounded by trees and becomes distracted by its beauty, causing another person to nearly push her over.
Nico, the boy who almost pushed her over, apologizes for his actions, which Willow dismisses, relieved that he is okay. 
Nico mentions that he is going to Monarch Academy, which prompts Willow to mention that she is also going there.
During their conversation, she begins to recall Nico from the entrance exam in which they both participated.
They both begin to recognize each other and begin to talk about their quirks, complimenting each other on their accomplishments and powers.
Willow begins to notice the time and how late it was, as well as the fact that they needed to be there for the dorm assessment. They both realize the time and begin hurrying in the direction of the school, with Willow having to ask Nico for directions after she became distracted and losing her sense of direction. 
Willow celebrates that she reached the dorms shortly after arriving at Monarch Academy. 
She starts looking for her dorm, dorm ten, where she eventually ends up.
There, she meets Levi and Roxie, her other two roommates. Willow compliments both Roxie's hair and Levi's jacket as they introduce themselves. They enter their dorm and meet their other roommate, Iris.
All three begin to explore the dorm until they reach their rooms.
Willow becomes aware that Levi and Roxie are dating. She later mentions in her paper it's written that girls' rooms are upstairs and boys' rooms are downstairs while they are exploring.
Iris mentions that they've already decided on a room, and Levi chooses the one next to it.
They then go upstairs to look at the girls' rooms, with Willow expressing her excitement to see hers.
They noticed two doors next to each other and began to suspect that there was a "mistake." As they entered, they noticed that this room was larger than the others and appeared to have two beds rather than one.
Willow and Roxie appear perplexed and uneasy about the abrupt change of rooms.
Roxie mentions that she and Willow will be roommates , which Willow doesn't seem to understand.
Willow maintains a positive attitude after they are separated from the others, allowing Roxie to choose the bed she prefers and appears to be more excited to share a room with Roxie, despite the fact that Roxie does not appear to share the same thoughts.
As the story progresses, we meet an unknown person who appears to know Willow. They appear to communicate with Willow through dreams which Willow refers to as nightmares. Throughout the nightmare, the individual appears to taunt Willow, reminding her of who she truly is, which Willow appears to completely ignore as she continues to remind herself that it is only a dream. Willow awakens after hearing the clock and realizing that she hasn't had that nightmare in a long time and that her nervousness is probably to blame.
She comforts herself by telling herself that everything will be fine as long as she keeps the positive attitude. 
She is downstairs, preparing breakfast for her dorm mates, when Levi appears out of nowhere. They both decide to prepare breakfast for the other people who are still sleeping.
When the breakfast is ready, Levi invites Iris to the table and then wakes Roxie so they can all eat together.
They all go their separate ways after breakfast to get ready for class.
Willow expresses her enthusiasm for her new school uniform to Stump. She quickly realizes she forgot Stump was in one of the boxes and, after apologizing to Stump, takes her out to the sun.
She quickly leaves the dorm and, rushing to class, is nearly run over by Mario, a Monarch Academy student. After learning that Willow attends Monarch Academy, Mario offers her a ride.
They arrive and enter the school for the first day of school.
