"*Don’t say you lost. We’re still fighting, and we are far from giving up. Just because everything seems to go downhill really quickly doesn’t mean you’re going to lose. Put aside that strong negativity of yours, because we’re here together, and we’re fighting together. Don’t give up and keep fighting, and maybe you’ll still have a chance to win, because that’s what we do. As heroes.*"

**Arakawa Yumi** (あらかわゆみ, *Arakawa Yumi?*), better known as her hero name, **Harvester**, is a student training to become a pro hero. She is a member of Class 2-A and was born with the quirk, Fear Compression.

## Appearance

Yumi’s hair is medium-length and reaches just the tip of her shoulders, with a few longer strands going past it by a few millimetres. She has messy bangs that cover the middle of her forehead, her face framed with messy locks of black hair, slim almond-shaped eyes and bright blue eye pupils surrounded by a brighter tint of the same colour. Her skin is fair and light, and smooth in appearance. Her build is larger compared to most teenagers her age, with notable muscles on her arms and legs. She is usually seen with a neutral or listless expression on her face. Her body is wide in some areas and curvaceous, with notable curves around her breasts and hips.

Yumi’s hero costume consists of a tight, low necklined, v-necked crop top which she wears over a red and white button-down campus jacket. She wears a pleated white skirt with a red stripe, with one side falling lower then the other side. She sports a red-trimmed white hood with a red stripe running down the front and decorated in the front centre with a red-eyed skull ornament. She sports a red minicape and her back is decorated with a large red bow. She also sports thigh-high socks and red boots.

When in school, she wears the standard female uniform consisting of a grey blazer, decorated on the cuffs and lapels with green stripes and golden buttons, a white undershirt, a red necktie and green skirt. Her socks are grey and reach up until her knees. Instead of loafers, she sports dark grey boots with the top folded outward.

When outside of her school uniform, she is typically seen wearing plain clothing that don’t really make her stand out. Most of her wardrobe consist of tight, dark coloured clothing.

## Personality

Yumi is a calm, aloof, stoic, timid and cool-headed person who usually comes off as serious with a low tolerance for nonsense, when she is actually the complete opposite. Yumi is clueless about most things people her age are normally interested in and doesn’t find the point in doing what she calls, ‘unproductive work.’ Having few to none friends due to her unusually silent demeanour, Yumi appears to be the type of person who asks pointless or boring questions, being uneducated about ‘typical teenager activity.’ Despite this, Yumi is shown to be surprisingly good at these activities when trying them for the first time.

Yumi is so calm and cool-headed to the point that she manages keep her cool even when she is being scolded or yelled at by peers or opponents, prompting some to believe that she is incapable of feeling emotion. On most occasions, she pretends that whoever is yelling at her doesn’t exist at all, usually irritating them. Yumi can be socially awkward and has trouble expressing her feelings even to people whom she knows very well.

At first, Yumi is seen by many to be an uneducated airhead, when she is in fact highly intelligent, being able to score very high marks on tests. In school, she is usually seen reading a book, drinking coffee or sucking on a lollipop, which are her favourite hobbies, and is can sometimes even be seen doing all three at once. Yumi has a sweet tooth and enjoys eating candy, with lollipops being her obvious favourite.

In battle, Yumi is shown to be merciless when it comes to fighting villains, which comes as a surprise to her classmates due to her awkward demeanour. Her personality in battle is somewhat ruthless, especially when fighting villains whom she has seen or witnessed has harmed others, which results in her bursting into uncontrollable rage which is one of her few and more common expressions. She also appears to have a strong liking for children and genuinely enjoys being with them, but still retains her rather stoic and aloof personality.

Yumi’s personality is comparably more sociable then her previous one before enrolling into U.A. By teaming up with classmates and making friends, Yumi is slowly regaining back the confidence she had lost as a child and doing her best to live a joyous life with no complications.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Yumi is shown to be talented in many different fields except combat, as her hand-to-hand combative skills are far from being close to perfect. Despite this, she is always able to put herself in advantageous situations when faced with opponents, which usually results in her victory.

### Fear Compression

Fear Compression grants Yumi the ability to compress the fear of any living thing within a 1 kilometre radius into energised power which can be released in several forms like a blast or beam, among many others. The extent of her abilities are currently unknown, though her power is very multipurpose and can even grant her the ability to fly due to the blasts being powerful enough to propel its user into the air.

The user can also compress fear into specific parts or factors of their body, making them able to enhance or boost specific fields such as speed, stamina, physical strength or even intelligence, which is useful for Yumi as she already has genius intellect to begin with.

### Super Moves

* **Fear Booster** (恐怖ブースター, *Kyōfu būsutā?*): Yumi utilises her power to greatly enhance her physical abilities by compressing fear into her stamina, which greatly enhances her body as a whole, though does not enhance as much as compressing fear into a single field alone.
* **Terror Trap** (恐怖の罠, *Kyōfu no wana?*): Yumi creates a spherical shape large enough to fit large groups of people, creating a trap and making them unable to escape.
* **Terror Trap: Ultimate Compression** (恐怖の罠:究極の圧縮, *Kyōfu no wana: Kyūkyoku no asshuku?*): Yumi performs her classic Terror Trap move, except the sphere will start to slowly compress and close in on the victims trapped inside.

### Skills

* **Musical Talent**: Yumi is talented in playing classical instruments like the piano, violin and the like, though she prefers to play the piano above everything else.
* **Talented Artist**: Yumi has artistic skills and can draw realistic objects from scratch.
* **Photographic Memory**: Yumi's photographic memory allows her to memorize precise details.

## Gear and Equipment

* **Fear Tracker**: Yumi has a special tracker that scans the vitals through radiation signals of any or all living thing(s) within a 1 kilometre radius. The signal will blink red if there are none nearby, signalling that she has no nearby power source. If it blinks green, it signifies that there are enough sources of fear around.
* **Fearsuit**: The costume is resistant to most effective elementals such as water and fire.
