### Occupation

TA/Pro Hero

Haruka was a teacher's assistant at U.A. High School.

## Appearance

Haruka Ishikawa's appearance was intrinsically tied to hero work. Her muscular build helped her carry stone with her. Her brown hair was kept short so it's easier to manage and keep out of her face. Tiny scars littered her arms from different fights. She typically dressed casually, without sleeves if she could manage. But she made sure anything she wore had plenty of pockets.

She carried herself with poise, moving in smooth motions with her head held high. She did her best to exude confidence and calm with every step she takes. She was often seen with a mug in her hand in the later hours of the day. Likely full of coffee to keep her going.

## Personality

Haruka was a proud soul, one who took her reputation and goals very seriously. As a hero she wanted to be an unmovable pillar others can rely on for strength. Set in stone, unmoving, unbreaking against any force that would go against her. Always composed, the hint of a smile, speaking properly and evenly at all times. As a result of this dream she could often seem aloof to those who first meet her.

The students tended to get a serious mentor who tells them how it is. She may have seemed harsh and to the point in her assessments. But the world needs good heroes, and being soft on them wouldn't help them improve. That being said she has shown a level of care for the students she watched. More often then not if someone needed her help, she was there.

The select few that got to see past this act were met with a different woman entirely. Someone quiet, full of her own doubts and insecurities. Much softer and more vulnerable then the front she puts on. But as long as she had her way, the public will never know.

## Synopsis

Haruka began working with the students in the middle of her third year at UA. Alongside her fellow third years Brigitte, Sen, Kumiko, Tabito, and Hiryo she ran a few exercises with the students. When third year came to a close Haruka decided to stay and lend help as a TA.
Now that she was a pro hero, she had led the students on a few other excursions as well. During a bank robbery with the Ultra Destroyers she kept the bank from collapsing on everyone, as the students defeated the villains and evacuate the civilians. She was also the lead pro hero in an investigation of Revere. She was shot, but managed to help the students stop what was going on there before being treated for her injuries. Still doing her work as a TA, she balanced both the school and hero work with as much finesse as she could.

## Abilities

Haruka prided herself in being a close combat defensive fighter. While not as quiet as some of her allies she was perceptive and quick to act.

### Quirk: Stone Shift

Haruka had the ability to shift stone between a liquid and solid state, manipulating it to her will. She could use this to do anything from create the weapons she used to making stone structures. In more earthen environments she could even use her quirk to see through the earth in a sort of tremorsense.

### Special Moves

* **Tectonic Shift:** Haruka brought up stone around a target in order to confine them to one area. Best used when attempting to capture villains.
* **Stone Toss:** Haruka gathered up stone and launched it off at a distant target. Not nearly as accurate as her melee attacks but it got the job done.

## Trivia

* She was the youngest of three siblings, with two older brothers. Both she visited along with her parents on occasion.
* Some of her hobbies included rock climbing and poetry.
* She had a bunny, a little white-furred lop named Snowball.

* (To Sam Burns) *”You did everything you could and did your best. We can't stop everything from happening, or else no one would see a need for heroes.“*
