Umi Uchiumi

**Umi Uchiumi** (内海 (うつみ) 海美 (うみび) , *Utsumi Umibi*?)

### **Description**

Umi Uchiumi, the daughter of Namihei Uchiumi, the Pro Hero Tidal Wave, and Sayo Kaji, the former Pro Hero Sandstorm, found herself grappling with a mixture of conflicting emotions and strained relationships within her family. With two older half-siblings, Yumeki and Benjiro Sasaki, an adoptive brother, Takeshi Sasaki, an older brother, Azusa Uchiumi, and a younger sister, Karen Uchiumi, Umi's family dynamics were complex.

Umi's mother, Sayo, harbored deep disappointment when Umi inherited her father's quirk instead of possessing either Sayo's own Sandstorm quirk or a more powerful new mutation. Sayo's first two children had hybrid quirks, and she wished that her children with Namihei could possess equally formidable abilities. This sense of longing for her children to have stronger quirks led to a certain distance between Umi and her mother, as their powers did not align.

This disconnection from her mother, coupled with uncertainty about her own aspirations, left Umi questioning her path to becoming a hero. While no one pressured her to follow in her parents' footsteps, Umi couldn't help but desire to prove herself and show her mother that she could excel as a hero with her current quirk. Being aware of her father's success as a pro hero, Umi knew she had the potential to pursue the same path. However, she wrestled with the internal drive and determination required to embark on such a journey.

Umi's relationships with her siblings were also fraught with difficulties. Her half-siblings, Yumeki and Benjiro, had minimal interaction with her due to their living arrangements with their father. As for Azusa, there existed a rivalry between them, fueled by the fact that both siblings possessed their parents' quirks and Azusa's ambition to become a hero. In response, Azusa would often point out Umi's flaws in quirk control and speak negatively about her abilities in their father's absence.

Moreover, Umi harbored resentment towards her younger sister, Karen, who had received the coveted quirk that their mother had strived for—a unique blend of Sayo's and Namihei's abilities known as Beach. Umi wished she had obtained a quirk that her mother would have found more satisfying, and she couldn't help but feel envious of the attention Karen received due to her immense potential.

The revelation of Sayo's abusive behavior toward Namihei and Benjiro brought about a significant upheaval in their lives. In order to ensure their safety, Namihei, Umi, and her siblings sought refuge with Nemu Sasaki, the father of Yumeki and Benjiro. They all moved into the U.A. dorms, and Umi and her siblings were assigned to Class 0.

During this tumultuous period, a blossoming relationship developed between Namihei and Nemu, eventually leading to Namihei's adoption of Takeshi, Nemu's adopted son. Nemu went on to propose to Namihei, a proposal he gladly accepted.

With these changes in their lives, Umi found herself in a happier place. Her father's newfound happiness had a positive impact on their family dynamic. Azusa apologized for his past behavior and began treating Umi with kindness, allowing them to repair their strained relationship. Umi also had the opportunity to spend more time with her half-siblings, forging stronger connections with them. The sense of safety and stability that their new living arrangements provided brought Umi a sense of relief.

Although her relationship with Karen remained strained, Umi understood that her sister's young age prevented her from comprehending the complexities of their family's situation. Nevertheless, Umi found solace in the knowledge that she was now in Class 0, offering her the prospect of a guaranteed place at U.A. High School in the future. Excited by this opportunity, Umi's desire to become a hero grew stronger, as she believed she had found her calling.
