Momo Mankanshoku

**Momo Mankanshoku** (*Mankanshoku Momo*), also known as the **Time Hero: Blink** (タイムヒーロー：点滅), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. She is one of the main protagonists of the *Allegiance of Heroes*.

## Appearance

Momo is a young teenage girl with brown eyes and brown hair that is styled with bangs and her hair is long down to her mid-back area, she is possibly set a little more broadly than some of her other female classmates, with, according to her profile, "healthy thighs". During school hours, she wears the normal female U.A. uniform.

## Personality

Momo is a hyperactive, carefree and loving girl who seems to cling to anyone she befriends, emphasized by how she becomes inseparable from Ryūko very quickly. She is also quite lazy, as shown in how she goes to sleep as soon as class begins, humorously clashing with her hyperactivity. Momo is quite fearless and has scarcely shown to be intimidated in potentially threatening situations. She also has respect for the authority figures of the school but will voice her opinion about topics. If Momo is properly motivated, she is capable of working hard and productively.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: While Momo lacks the ability for overall power, Momo is highly proficient in hand to hand combat as she utilizes her quick movements and self defense techniques to win and overwhelm her opponents. Thanks to her Quirk, Momo has been revered as one of the fastest students in Class 1-A, at least through their perception, and she uses her increased speed to supplement her fighting style which involves fast, acrobatic techniques, and quick strikes. Time Lag plays a vital role in Momo's speed and mobility, as she can boost herself through instances of time, giving her a method to bypass obstacles on the ground. However, Ectoplasm noted that, in spite of her combat efficiency, Momo fights predictably, as she constantly is biased on counter strikes and sneaking up on her opponents. To eliminate this factor, Momo improved the fundamentals of his movements to become less predictable in combat.

Other than her own abilities in martial arts and what seems to be self defense MMA fighting styles, Momo has shown to be proficient in support. She's learned to focus her Quirk on more than just the radius which her Quirk can cover as she's learned to focus on certain areas and slow down the molecular movements and even stop it completely. When she's not fighting in head on battles she focuses on minimizing wreckage control, whether slowing down time to help people or moving this out of the way.

**Enhanced Reflexes**: Because of her Quirk, Momo has an increased sense of reflex as she's seen to dodge Quirks like Shiki's who's Quirk allows him to control his own gravitational pull at a momentous state. She's seen time and time again improving her overall speed and reflexes in time when she's using her Quirk and times just using her own abilities.

**Combat Skills**: Momo specializes in hand-to-hand combat but especially self defense MMA, derived from it's a mash-up of many martial arts techniques that come together to make one challenging sport. Momo depends on being on the ground and from a standing position while gaining actual experience. Momo is concentrating on Judo and Taekwondo. And, although borrowing techniques from various disciplines. In MMA, Momo has learned how to take an opponent down, stand up and strike, and then submit them on the ground.

**Tactical Intellect**: While Momo isn't the most academically efficient of her class, she makes up for it with her strategic mind and her ability to deduce an enemy's weaknesses and combat style soon after the battle begins. During the U.S.J incident Momo took notice of the villain's neck armor, realized it was a weak point, and exploited it. Her strategic skill is sometimes doubted by, or accredited to others. On the contrary, Momo had demonstrated great strategic ability on her own merit, as seen.

### Quirk

**Time Lag**: Momo's Quirk allows her to slow down time in a ten meter radius. When activated, the user is unaffected by the effects of the Quirk; they're able to move at normal speed when activated. Essentially, Momo can move at a normal speed while the things in the area of the Quirk's affect move slowly, making the user super fast compared to everything else. To activate Momo's Quirk Momo needs to only blink and hold her eyes for 3 seconds while holding in her breath.

Which also brings up Momo's main weakness, as she needs to hold her breath to hold her Quirk as breathing cancels the affects and time resumes at a normal pace again, however those outside of the ten meter radius aren't affected and can stop Momo whether ranged attacks but as the ranged attack enters Momo's radius then it too will slow down making it so she needs to be faster than the attack though to the people inside her "time bubble", as she calls it, will see her appear in a blink of an eye. Other needing to hold her breath it seems that Momo can hold her Quirk for as long as she can maintain holding her breath

### Super Moves

**FREEZE! (*Molecular Immobilization*)**: By focusing on a specific area, Momo can freeze an opponent, item, or ranged attack, though it seems she still has to hold her breath despite her not being inside the area.

**Complete Stop**:
