Portal

**Portal** (ポータル *Pōtaru*) is the Quirk used by Emika Ryoumi.

## Description

Portal grants Emika the ability to create and manipulate her own unique portals. She can create these portals in a 20 meter radius around herself and then connect them with one another to then travel through them.

While Emika isn’t able to create portals outside of her radius, she is capable of freely moving and altering the portals after creation. Meaning that she can move them around, even outside of her creation range and adjust their size, or interchange the connection between other portals that she currently has active.

This Quirk allows Emika to quickly and safely travel to various places in a short amount of time. By moving her portals manually, she can pinpoint an exact location where she wants to travel to. By looking through a nearby portal while moving another, she is even able to observe an area through her portals. Allowing her to make sure that a location she wants to travel to is safe to enter.

She can continue to move her portals away as far as she wants to. The smaller they are, the faster she can move them. Emika can make very small portals and then move them over hundreds of miles away, before then remotely expanding them once they have reached their destination to then make them big enough to enter.

Emika can also control when something can enter one of her portals. She can put a “lock” on her portals which darken them, preventing them from being able to be entered or even seen through. This lock cannot be applied if someone is already halfway inside the portal. If the portal is closed while something is inside of it, said thing will be cut in half.

### Weaknesses

Creating portals becomes straining on her body depending on various factors, including how big the portal is and for how long it has already been active. Meaning that in order to preserve stamina, she has to make very small portals first and manually move them to where she needs them if they are outside her range, only to then expand them. Doing this with multiple portals can be very distracting.

The strain she experiences are symptoms similar to symptoms while traveling on a boat or by airplane. She will start to feel nauseous or experience a great amount of pressure on her body if she is using her quirk for too strenuous actions.

Because the quirk doesn’t allow for portal creation at exact locations, Emika always has to look for where she wants to travel and move her portal manually. Using this in a direct confrontation makes it difficult for Emika to flee to a far away destination because she has to move a portal there first. She tries to circumvent this by never fully entering a portal and always leaving the option to return home.

Besides putting a lock on the portal when fit necessary, she cannot control what can and cannot enter a portal. Thus if she were to leave a portal open and forget about it, it can be entered by anyone and anything.

If she creates a portal in a far away location and then completely closes it, she has to make an entire new portal to move back to the original location, since she can’t create portals outside of her range. Emika can actually quickly get lost if she has little to no knowledge about a foreign location.

## Usage

Emika mainly uses her Quirk in order to travel to different places, or by helping others to travel somewhere. She typically creates a small portal that she puts in front of her eye, and then creates another portal which she then moves around. Like this she can observe an area and look for a location that she is looking for, or that has been described to her, before putting the moving portal at an ideal place to safely travel through.

While traveling herself, she typically never fully enters her own portals and instead moves herself around by sticking out nothing more than her head. That way she can quickly pull her head back inside of the portal and close it to escape danger. Even then, for safety she always keeps a small portal open on her own for her to make another portal to connect to it and flee to it, should she ever be somewhere completely in person.

Emika almost never engages in combat, and whenever she gets pulled into conflict she uses her portal to quickly run away. She has two small portals active, one which is connected to her home, and one open somewhere in New York City. Keeping any more than those constantly active strains her too much and becomes too difficult to keep track of. She only uses them for personal travel.

Despite being a villain, her only registered crimes are illegal Quirk usage and small counts of theft. While she can use her Quirk for much greater crimes, she chooses to only use it limitedly to not attract as much attention.
