"*Curstaidh MacDonald, yer Scottish gal 'n' wan ae yer reccies. Daenae mak' me enyting bit gid contacts sae tae hell wae al' dat. Tak' yer pick on whit ye name me but didnae sae ma name unless ye can speak it!"*"

**Curstaidh MacDonald** (クリスティーナー・マクドナルド,, **Kurisutina Makudonarudo**?) better known as **Christy** (クリスティー,, **Kurisuti**?) by everyone, was a Scottish resident before moving to America to join the Robert McCollum High School. As a freshman, she made a large commitment to leave so far from home but after the recommendation of one of the strongest heroes in Scotland and a loose goal to visit the entire world, Christy packed her bags and flew over the pond.

Before coming to school she worked as a sidekick for Dona Neart, becoming a strong asset despite how young she was thanks to her quirk, Lasraichean. Known as the **Pink Heroine** (ピンクヒロイン,, **Pinku Hiroin**?) in the agency, Christy felt she owed everyone for the free training she had received as well as the slight fame that sprung upon her. As to repay this debt, Christy wishes to become the strong and capable Pro-Hero they were aiming to achieve in the first place. This goal of theirs, and in turn hers, being the main reason for applying and joining RMC.

## Appearance

It's quite easy to mistake Christy on a glance to be either a shy and kind, or an innocent and elegant, girl. Her black twin-tails and extremely petite body can lead to many assumptions which are usually shattered as soon as she opens her mouth and speaks anything. The harsh and strong accent from her Scottish heritage has made Christy into something that can be quite intimidating or just darn-right annoying to people. Mix that with her hero costume hidden with multiple blades and made to ensure she doesn't get burnt, first glances really seem to fail to put the full picture of her.

For as long as Christy has been in middle school, she has fashioned her hair into twin-tails tied by different colours of ribbon. Her favourite being a hot pink pair of ribbons since it is her favourite colour. The only real difference through the ages of growing up has been the sheer length of her hair. In fact, Christy refuses to have her hair cut any more than a trim to allow dead and spilt ends to be solved. As such her hair as grown so much at the front that Christy has gained two extra tails of hair that stop at her chest; her twin-tails just passing a bit further but not too much further. She also has rather large bangs, another one of the few items that get cut, mainly because she wouldn't be able to see if they weren't cut. This hairstyle makes her look rather young and it can be quite shocking to people when she puts her hair down, giving off a completely different style. With her hair down, the only people who have really seen this has been family, Dona and Felix due to them all living with her at one point.

Moving on from her hair, Christy has rather unique eyes that have the tonal shade of hot pink. Unlike popular belief, these are fully natural and are from her mothers' side. This is all caused by her gran's DNA which holds a mutant quirk. Her mother also held this rather weird gene pass down and has natural pink eyes and pink hair and as the genes were passed, this left Christy with her hot pink eyes. These are quite large and cover most of her face, making her mouth and nose look far smaller than they actually are. This only adds to her false appearance of being shy and innocent. Her eyebrows are thin and usually lay gently above her head but due to her bangs are often hidden which only adds to making her eyes look larger than the rest of her features. To finish, her pale skin seems to always have a slight blush on her cheeks. A soft pink to her face that darkens her eye colour and lightens her skin. Mixing this all together, it is no surprise that people could mistake Christy to be someone much younger and far nicer than her personality reveals.

After being recruited by Dona, Christy was given a work uniform by her. This became her first known hero costume despite not really being any. This uniform is something that all recruits from Dona share with the only difference being the colour of their scarf. This colour then becomes a codename Dona often calls the recruits through radio. Dona vows that she didn't make these costumes herself but who actually supplies them is unknown. The uniforms were made to be unisex on purpose.

This uniform focuses on being loose and light above anything else to allow the students of Dona to move fast and out of the way if need be. This also ensures that quirks are likely to not be limited in any shape or form. Unlike most other students of Dona's however, this uniform was made in mass production and so Christy has around 3 pairs of this uniform with her at all time as a habit. This was mainly due to her flames often causing the uniform to burn and leave Christy in her dark pink undergarments made of Kevlar and her DNA. These undergarments are the same as all of her undergarments in the sense they are fireproof thanks to the mixture of her blood which other than her skin is the only part of her body that is fireproof. Christy also carries spares as though the undergarments cannot be burned, they can still be charred and smell of smoke.

This outfit is extremely basic. The main focus is a dark blue jacket with some light blue streaks. This jacket is made out of a light denim material that is short and cuts at the belly. Usually, a light blue shirt is underneath but due to Christy's quirk, there are only her pink undergarments. She also wears black fingerless gloves on her hands that she usually ditches despite Dona's lectures. The same dark denim material is then used for her shorts which are held by a brown leather belt that has multiple brown pouches to store any item they desire. Christy rarely stores items in these pouches in fear she will ignite, burn or melt them. These shorts and jackets have rather large pockets also convenient for storage.

Lastly, the bottom half of the outfit is also extremely basic with black tights covering most of her skin that the shorts fail to cover. She wears brown loafers that are easily slipped on and off that are only secured by the rather weird use of design. Dona decided to do this to make the shoes look like boots and to stop the constant disappearance of the shoes during missions - something she claimed was an issue with pass models of this uniform. The blue denim covers most of the bottom and is stuffed into the shoes, while at the top a leather tab is put to make them easy to put on. The denim and leather material is stuck to the brown loafers. When Christy suggested just using brown leather boots, Dona gave her a lecture of "fashion" and ever since then Christy has tried her hardest to gain a love for the unique pair of shoes.

## Personality

Despite Christy's innocent and young appearance, her country has certainly made its mark on her. Considered one of the hottest heads in the class, Christy can get quite angry at several things no matter how small or large they are. To make matters worse, when she is angry, her accent comes out far thicker than usual making her extremely difficult to understand. Christy's language is also one not to hear as she takes out a large number of insults - some of which have completely different meanings from where she was back home - and a hell of a lot of potty mouth slurs and screams. To make matters even worse, Christy will not calm down from this angered state until she has "dealt" with the problem or her anger. Depending on the problem will depend on how long she is seen pissed off or disliking a person. It doesn't take much for someone to go from being an ally to an enemy.

Christy also is quite a loner, spending most of her time alone either studying or hiding away from people. She doesn't deal well with crowds, often rushing by them with her head down to escape out of the area as quick as she can. As such, she struggles when it comes to shopping and the like and could be found shaking into a store as she buys some snacks or the like before a big studying event. This loner personality melds in well with her studying attitude, however, since she puts up with nothing anyone throws at her, she spends most of her time in her dorm. Inside her dorm, she has piles of reference materials and more. Some are just American history while others are to do with her heroic studies. Even with all of this studying, she isn't the brightest student, just one who puts in a lot of effort to get acceptable grades for her level. When she isn't studying, she has found herself wasting her way at her many different ranges of hobbies. A trait and habit she got off of her former tutor, Dona Neart.

Even with her unapproachable rage and lone wolf aura, Christy is extremely humble. She does not see herself as the most powerful or have any real power behind her attacks at all, going as far as to consider herself one of the weaker students in the class. This humbleness does not stop at just her abilities but even enters her daily life. Christy has been seen denying gifts or accepting them before returning with a gift to give to them as a thank, even on her birthday. She even goes as far as refusing to borrow money or to get a drink bought for her unless she gives them the money back later, usually doubling the price if people are not careful. When she is outright refused on her gifts and returns she gets extremely flustered and will think of different ways to aid them or reasons on why they should take her items. It's an almost 180-degree turn from her usual accent which gives off an idea she does not want to speak to anyone or sounding like she is angry at all times. During this time, she gets rather posh and her accent disappears. This makes it one of the few times someone can fully understand Christy, but this fluster is never long-lived.

With two rather conflicting personality traits, it is a wonder why Christy is currently a student training to be a hero. With her lack of ability to cooperate with others and her constant push from presents, Christy often gives off the idea she does not want to aid others. These actions, however, have been caused by her selflessness. Christy refuses to take pride in herself and instead takes pride in others, working hard to see them smile and often forgetting about her own. As a heroine, Christy plans on putting people first before her well-being. For some this could be considered reckless while others will see this admirable, Christy simply sees it as a debt she needs to pay off for Dona. After the training, she had received and the kindness given to her by her family after making a dangerous and hard decision in life, she feels she has to live life to the fullest and put her all into solving the world's issues with villains. Despite this, she will deny any real want for being a hero. She doesn't want to become famous or seen as a hero, after all, Christy merely wishes to aid people in need as a way to thank the people who aided her when *she* was the one in need of assistance.

## Abilities

### Quirk

*Main article: Lasraichean*

**Lasraichean** (羅(ラス)擦(ラス)拉(ライ)衣(チー)陳(ン), **Rasuraichin**?) is an Emitter-Type quirk that is extremely unique in its abilities and the form it takes for these abilities. The quirk has two parts, one is the flames Christy is able to use while the other is the pink colour that the flames take form. This was created by her parent's quirks. The flames power and strength is a direct influence from her Father known as Explosive Trap while the abilities to hypnotise a person being influenced from her Mother's quirk known as Aqua Shine Illusion. As a collaboration of the two, the quirk inherits both strong weaknesses and strengths that Christy has been trying to master.

The first of these abilities are Christy's flames. She is able to create these flames from either her feet or her hands. These flames do not seem to hurt her skin, in fact, Christy finds the feeling quite soothing as her body is used to this heat. The flames will not be as kind of her clothes or hair, burning anything that hasn't been protected in some form. This is why Christy's hero costume is vital and she also wears a bodysuit underneath her clothes in case of emergency use of her quirk. This ensures she has some sort of clothing on her body, but she would still have to be careful not to burn her pigtails. These flames are extremely hot and can burn others unless they too have a residence to heat if Christy chooses as such. This leaves Christy trying to withhold her quirk so she can simply apprehend people without causing fatal burns.

The second aspect of this quirk is her hypnotising effects. It was found quite quickly that the pink of Christy's flames was not only beautiful but also deadly as people found themselves attracted to them. If someone is to stare at the flames for too long, they find themselves walking like a zombie towards them. This is extremely useful but has many weaknesses. The first is if the user already knows of her hypnotising effects, it is harder to make them fall for its effects. The second being Christy is able to fall under these same effects too.

Mixed with her many weaknesses that are as strong as her quirks strength, Christy is considered a strong hero-in-training, going as far as to train under one of Scotland's strongest heroes for two years before moving to the US. This leaves her rather skilled in this department and she hopes that through education she can get these skills to be mastered quickly.

### Physical Abilities

It doesn't take much to realise that Curstaidh isn't exactly the strongest of them all when it comes to brute strength. Knowing this, Christy tries to push these weaknesses aside which helps with her natural intimidation. By acting stronger than she is truly capable of, Christy is able to force someone to think they have the ability to take them on. On the truth of the matter though, Christy's physical strength isn't completely useless. Able to keep up with the training and daily challenges of a hero, she hasn't allowed herself to be so weak she is able to give a fight to those who choose to do so. Most of her strength is in her legs, mainly due to her type of training and strain she puts on herself, as such when it comes the fact of the matter, most of the weight is on her legs and feet.

The core strength of Christy other than her abilities presented to her by her quirk is by far her agility. It has been the core and main focus of her training since she was first being taught by Dona and it is clear where that such training has paid off. Not quite at the stage, she has perfected her agility, she has definitely closed the gap towards that goal. Sprinting hard and fast to the place she so desires, it isn't a shock to some she can outpace her classmates if the time so calls for it. By pushing herself forward, Christy has defied the goals that were originally set to her by Dona and are now focusing on far more ambitious and slightly impossible goals. Her agility is obviously not at the normal limit of a human if she applies her quirk to it, allowing her to create a jetpack of sorts to boost herself to even further beyond.

Endurance is the core of all, used to tell the stamina and strength of a person. This mix of being is what makes the best of humans and as of yet Christy is yet to achieve this state. Though she has managed to create a pool of stamina that allows her to fight, run and train a lot longer than the average student of her age without the added bonus from quirks, Christy still has a lot more training to go. Her focus has been on her legs and as such her upper body can be strained rather easily during activities, This also means her own bodily durability is much weaker above than it is below, causing a well planted and strong attack to be easily fatal to Christy is she is not prepared.

**Mental Limits**:

**Fears**: Though Christy puts on quite a show when it comes to talking to others in her loud, violent and endless tongue, just like any other human Christy has her own sets of fears. The biggest fear that holds Christy back the most is her general attitude to people. Christy is the type of person to not give someone respect until they earn it and with most people having some level of respect at the beginning of a relationship, this can sometimes look like she is being ignorant and rude. Despite knowing this, it is built into Christy to act this way and as such she does so. This gives her some anxiety when it comes to talking to new people as she worries this may ruin something before it's even begun.

Another fear Christy has is a fear she often expresses but does not realise to be something she worries about. This is the fear she will let down the people who have guided her to where she is today. Her father, mother, sister and brother mean a lot to her - as most families feel to one another - but with this, she feels as if she will one day fail them. Be this not graduating as a hero or not doing enough to prove them they were right in their choices. Despite her slight disdain for becoming a hero, to fail them would mean to fail herself in some way. This same determination and fear are put on by the people who have taught her, be it Dona or the RMC Staff.

## Techniques

### Super Moves

**Heart of Bravery** (KANJI, *ROMAJI*) is the first super move Christy used and developed, being created during one of her missions as a sidekick. It is inspired off of her tutor, Dona, and her quirk, Braveheart. She turns her flames golden as they become hot enough to even burn fireproof skin. This then puts Christy in danger as she no longer is protected from the dangers these flames put on her.

**Heart of Action** (KANJI, *ROMAJI*) is the second super move Christy is currently developing after the rather risky attempt to rescue Dominic Mancello. It was inspired by her former move and instead of using the strength of her flames, she instead flips them to hypnotise even those who know her quirk. This has the side effect of making her own self under the influences of this move.
