Riko Kakure

**Riko Kakure** (隠れ利口 *Kakure Rikō*), also known as **[redacted]**, is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Riko is of average height with a relatively slim build. Her skin is pale. She has long black hair with a spiky side-swept fringe and spiky tufts of hair throughout. Her eyes are sharp with dark and thick eyelashes, and her irises are grey.

Riko wears the U.A. school uniform with her blazer sleeves rolled up, and her skirt falls to about knee length, longer than other girls in her class. Riko likes to wear Doc Martens Mary Janes with knee high socks. Her casual outfits are usually comprised of neutral colours, whites, and blacks, and she like fashionable skirts and long-sleeved shirts.

## Personality

Riko is a rather abrasive person. She tends to come off as judgemental and rude, but less ostensibly, she's a genuine, hard-working person who values her friends and follows the rules. She's down-to-earth and gives her honest opinions whether they hurt people's feelings or not. On occasion she has been shown to use discretion when she can tell someone close to her is hurting and/or doesn't need to hear the truth even if that's what she would want.

For a long time, Riko has struggled to make friends, and before she came to U.A., a lot of the girls at her junior high thought she was weird and uptight. This secluded lifestyle has left her with active awkwardness in social situations, and she's challenged by ordinary interactions. She doesn't have anxiety per se, but her lack of experience with other people is part of the reason as to why she's so brutally honest.

Riko's desire to study to become a hero was an unexpected decision that surprised most people that knew her, including her family. It could be that she hoped that going to a prestigious school like U.A. would introduce her to people that could help her open up and become more genuine, but that doesn't explain her dreams of becoming a hero. As far as inspirations go, she doesn't have anyone she admires in particular, but people with Quirks that isolate them from others have seemingly caught her attention, because it's an issue that she can personally relate to.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Having been, for the most part, quite secluded through her early teenage years, Riko has learned to observe from the sidelines, and has become an excellent analyst, though she isn't exceptionally intelligent. Her Quirk also makes her strong against most enemies, and her honest nature means that she isn't hesitant in cases where she might need to bring harm to another person, making her a ruthless combatant. This by no means indicates that she lacks morals, but she is undoubtedly efficient in serious situations.

**Analysis:** As stated, Riko has learned to take in information from the sidelines and come to a circumstantial understanding, though her lack of knowledge when it comes to people means she struggles to apply this ability in situations that involve others.

**Honesty:** What matters to Riko is facts, and she doesn't believe that a lie can ever be justified, even if it's because a person might get hurt by the truth. In certain circumstances, she will admit defeat in her potentially stubborn values and decide to avoid the truth, but will absolutely never lie, and therefore is very trustworthy.

### Quirk

**Fibreglass**(ファイバーガラス *Faibāgarasu*) is an emitter Quirk that grants Riko the ability to produce the substance of fibreglass from her skin. The glass manifests as quills of solid from the surface of the skin, which can be used in this state for melee combat, though the durability of the quills is slightly lower when used in this manner. This fibreglass can furthermore be freely manipulated as long as it remains in a 3 meter radius.

While Riko's fibreglass loses the ability to be manipulated once it is beyond this vicinity, she can always pick it back up and proceed to use it if she is unable to produce more at the current time, as she cannot infinitely produce this substance without a cool down of sorts. The fibreglass can also be used as projectiles, which, if launched at high enough velocities, do not need to be manipulated to have high damage output and a vast range beyond the initial 3 meters.

### Super Moves

* **Field of Shards** (フィールド・オフ・シャーヅ *Fīrudo Ofu Shādzu*): Riko releases a storm of fibreglass shards that circle her at high velocities in a 3 meter radius. The danger of this move is that it's hard to control, so it's not ideal with allies or civilians close by. Otherwise, it has high mid-range offensive capabilities and high defense.
* **Glass Dance** (グラス・ダンス *Gurasu Dansu*): Riko envelops her body in quills of fibreglass and engages in dance-like melee combat. The durability of these quills is lower than as with typical usage.
