**Chiseko Fujimoto** ( *藤本千桃子 Fujimoto Chiseko*), also known as **The Energy Hero: Lifeline** (*エネルギーヒーロー：ライフライン  Enerugīhīrō: Raifurain*), and later **The Energy Hero: Pixy** (*エネルギーヒロイン：ピクシー Enerugīhiroin: Pikushī*), is the protagonist in the fanfiction work 'Hope of a Hero' on Archive of Our Own. She is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. She is Shizuno Fujimoto and Hanzo Fujimoto’s eldest daughter, Noboru Fujimoto's little sister, Satoko Fujimoto, and Daichi Fujimoto’s older sister.

## Appearance

Chiseko is a a teenager who is extremely short for her age, being the height of a grade schooler or an early middle schooler often being mistaken for a child, most due to her large round, dull orange-grey eyes that glow a bright shade of bronze when her quirk is in use. Her hair is styled in a cut that goes down to her upper neck and very curly with two slightly longer clumps of hair on both sides of her face. After the events of the Paranormal Liberation War Arc, these longer clumps are cut short by Chiseko so that instead of resting at her shoulders, they now rest at her chin. Her hair color is a dark brownish-orange color with darker colored roots. Her most prominent feature is the many light brown scars that cover her body when her Quirk is inactive which she has stated several times to be caused by overuse of her Quirk and one caused by an attack when she was a small child; the latter of which being a long scar that runs from the bridge of her nose to just above her right breast, and she also has several tattoo-like scars running down her back in patterns; it is covered by most of her clothing but is briefly seen when she wears swimsuits, tank tops, etc. While her Quirk is active, these scars become harder to see, although after overusing her Quirk for extremely long periods of time they glow brightly, causing her slight pain.

During school hours, Chiseko doesn't wear the standard U.A female uniform, instead wearing the U.A waistcoat with long sleeves, a knee-length skirt, and socks that go up to her upper shin. She later ditches the long socks, leaving the scars on her lower legs in the open. She also has a habit of wearing her tie incorrectly, wearing it over her waistcoat instead of tucked behind it.

Her first hero costume is a cyan colored skin-tight jumpsuit covered by a loose metal armor crop top and steel armor that stop at her knees. All along her costume there are several black and white markings that run down her waist to her back. The ends of her costume ends at her elbows and knees with big light-colored finger-less gloves and knee-high boots, which cover any other revealed skin. Over that, she wears a white hooded-cape which has. several pockets filled with food, so she can get a steady stream of energy through her body. During the Internships Arc after the Sports Festival, she added a white mask that covered the entirety of her face and had only two dots for eyes, and metal knee bracers.

Her second hero costume is a black skin-tight jumpsuit with dark cyan accents. Around her waist are several metal accessories that act as a belt with the center piece serving as a buckle, while on each hip are pockets. She wears black gauntlets with dark green flaps wrapped around them that cover her forearms, which connect to fingerless gloves and match her boots. Around her wrists are metal braces with a luminescent line around each, while her boots have metal lining the toes and the heel. Around her neck is a metal neck brace which carries a silver pendant.

As a child, Chiseko's hair was more unkempt and much longer than it was in the present time, due to her living in a hospital for most of her early life and her being forbidden to go outside of her hospital room.

## Personality

Chiseko can be extremely rude at times, and it takes a lot for someone to gain her trust, although she is quite a sweetheart after she knows if to trust someone, an example being when Chiseko told her classmates about her past, an act that took a heavy amount of emotional strain. However, this being due to her trust issues, she is mostly very lonely. After the attack on the training camp she grew closer to her classmates, using the 'chan' honorific for them in most cases. Currently, however, only Midoriya, Bakugo, Kendo, Kodai, and Monoma know about her dad and her past. Chiseko is also a very determined person, putting her blood, sweat, and tears into everything she does, especially when it comes to hero-training. She is a realist, and can sometimes come off as a pessimist, but she is quite cooperative, usually always willing to help others. Chiseko often takes a liking to little children, trying to make them smile. She also loves her classmates, and is willing to help them in their time of need. Chiseko can be very rowdy, usually always down to fight others, and will usually pick a fight to those who think her a small and weak kid, just to prove them wrong, no matter how much stronger they are, but will stop as soon as she understands that she will wind up hurting others or understands that it would be nearly impossible for her to win.

Chiseko is also a very critical thinker, being near the top of her class academically, and is skilled at planning several strategies, and swapping from one to the other with ease. She is polite and well-spoken, although she does have a tendency to make sarcastic remarks to others.

Chiseko hates the fact that she is the daughter of a villain, and often refuses to tell anyone about her living situation, beside occasionally talking about her siblings. Chiseko, for most of her life, was the target of extreme bullying; from her father's status as a villain, which made her isolated among those at her school, to befriending one of the only then-Quirkless kids in the class, Izuku Midoriya. This bullying eventually escalated to her being told to not apply to U.A High School because they didn't accept villains.

Chiseko is afraid of her father, Hanzo Fujimoto, often to the point of crying when she saw him at the training camp attack, and she began to sob uncontrollably when Hanzo insisted they were family; this is due to the years of emotional abuse and psychological trauma she was put through by him, from watching her mother die in front of her by him; the several instances of high amounts of anxiety, and fear created several trust issues between herself and her peers. There is also evidence that Chiseko suffers from depression. She is disdainful of her father for brutally killing her mother, often crying late at night, not wanting to be like him, and is afraid of raising her voice, and lashing out at others. Whenever this happens, she’ll have an emotional breakdown, and it usually takes a while for her to calm down. Chiseko also suffers from nightmares, and gets one just about every time she sleeps.

Chiseko is very compassionate towards her friends and family, as well as those who she has gained a strong trust with. To these people, she is able to show a hesitant and vulnerable side to her, and she is seen sometime ducking behind these people whenever she is nervous or afraid and often activates her Quirk in order to intimidate people; a main example of this is when she quietly darts behind Neito Monoma and Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu when she is approached by Noeru Tanaka, one of her previous bullies. She is also usually in a very happy and excitable state around these people.

### Mental Health

Chiseko's mental health had unintentionally been a troublesome issue from the beginning, as she spent most of her chidhood locked away in a hospital away from other children due to health problems, and it had been on a noticeably sharp decline after the loss of her mother and her getting a large scar on her face from her father when he attempted to murder her. After being exposed to 'the real world' at a young age, it had been clear Chiseko had a longing for the childhood that other children around her had, and was jealous of some of her classmates when they spoke about their childhood and their families.

#### **Trauma and PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)**

After being saved from the League of Villlains after the oOrest Training Arc, Chiseko's mental health drastically worsened, and she started to act similarly to how she was before she had started going to U.A.

Though, despite his mental health vastly improving whilst living with her class, she appeared to hold some regret for deserting her father, voicing that she wished to see him again. Chiseko also had repetitive issues with how she felt about Hanzo, stating that thinking about him confused her. Later on, Chiseko also stated that she "didn't like the person she was around him."

During this period, Chiseko began to experience anxiety and PTSD-like symptoms when people brought up memories or using items that held trauma from her past. Chiseko's thoughts seemed to become disjointed, which showed when she spoke — she spoke in a manner that was panicked and confused. She described this to Neito as her "world spinning way to fast, like a bad roller coaster" and relied on him to tell him what to do in these situations. Chiseko could barely explain anything when Neito and Itsuka repeatedly asked her what had happened before she came to U.A—all she could manage to say was that she didn't want to remember. She was struck by a similar scenario when she and Izuku went on a hike in a nearby forest, and was unable to stay there for very long before needing to leave; this is most likely beause of what happened during the Forest Training Arc.

Later, while visiting Hanzo, Chiseko admitted that she had multiple triggers that relate to her various traumatic experiences in life, although she doesn't specify what they are.

## Abilities and Quirk

Chiseko is a very skilled Quirk user, as she is intelligent on proper usages of her Quirk, and she is able utilize the versatile nature of her Quirk in very creative ways, and because of an of ability to read people well that she gained as she was growing up, she's able to analyze her opponent quickly in ways that could give her the upper hand in a fight.

**Enhanced Strength**: Even without her Quirk, Chiseko has shown high levels of physical strength for a person her age. In some instances, Chiseko has been shown to tackle someone much bigger than her and defeating them effectively, and while at the gym training with Izuku Midoriya, she has been shown lifting weights up to 200 kilograms (or 440 pounds). Chiseko has also been shown to be able to destroy Villain Bots double her size with her bare hands, subduing it while ripping out wires until it stops functioning, as well as being able to pick up people much bigger than her and take them on the a fight.

**Enhanced Stamina**: Chiseko has shown on many occasions that she is capable of handling large amounts of pain. Such times were mostly side-effects of overusing her Quirk, which frequently led to the developments of burns and scars on her skin. If she is forced to output more power than she is used to, Chiseko is still capable of fighting thanks to the effects of adrenaline, but will succumb to exhaustion a while later.

Chiseko has also been shown to be able to continue fighting even when she has little to no energy left, as seen in her fight against Shigaraki in the Paranormal Libaration War Arc, when she is still fighting after getting her body completely cut through. It has also been noticed by those around her that noticed that Chiseko has hardly ever been shown to be tired or worn out. The only time when this is present is after she overuses her Quirk, and she is able to stay at a consistant sprint for over two miles at a time

**Enhanced Speed**: Chiseko possesses incredibly impressive great reflexes and speed. She is able to react in time to defend from Hanzo Fujimoto's energy attacks which has been shown to occur in the literal blink of an eye and can keep up with Katsuki Bakugo's movements in their fight during the Sports Festival Arc.

**Immense Durability**: Chiseko has shown the ability to withstand explosions from Katsuki without use of her Quirk and is able to keep fight after getting impaled by Togaru Kamikiri.

**Script Writing:** A hobby Chiseko picked up when she was ten to reduce her anxiety. There was a writing competition at her school and she decided to try and it and did pretty well, and she never stopped. By the time of the U.A Culture Festival, her script writing has gotten better, as she wrote the script for her class' play.

**Japanese Sign Language:** Because her little sister, Satoko, is mostly deaf in both her ears, Chiseko is able to use JSL competently, and teach the basics to others. The first time she uses JSL in front of her classmates is during the Provisional Licensing Exam Arc, where she assists a completely deaf 'victim' from underneath rubble through communicating with him in JSL, and the second time she does this is when she tells to her classmates about her childhood with Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo, mainly when she goes over how she tried to teach Bakugo JSL because she was afraid his Explosion Quirk would impair his hearing.

### Quirk

**Energy Rebound** (*エネルギーリバウンド Enerugīribaundo*): Chiseko's Quirk, Energy Rebound is a combination of her mother and father's Quirks, Energy Force and Energy Manipulation, respectively. The way it works is that Chiseko is able to sense energy in a kilometer radius and take the energy in said kilometer, like photosynthesis.

The drawbacks is that this Quirk renders her own body unable to create her own energy, so she has to depend on her surroundings for a proper source of energy and she has an extremely weak immune system, which caused her being hospitalized several times in her youth because of this. After overusing her quirk, she collapses and start coughing up blood due to her body completely running out of energy to the point of passing out.

### Super Moves

**Magnitude Heart Jump** (*マグニチュードハートジャンプ Magunichūdohātojanpu*): Chiseko activates her Quirk, before directing it at her target, and picks them up by manipulating the energy around her, forcefully moving them into a wall or as a away from her.

**Energy Inertia** (*エネルギー慣性 Enerugī Kansei*): Chiseko activates her Quirk to throw several energy fueled punches, before throw and upper hook (effectively draining their energy), sending her opponent flying into the air. After she does this, she stills their body using her Quirk and blasts a high density energy blast at her opponents.

**Lifeline Tendrils** (*ライフライン巻きひげ Raifurain Makihige*): This super move is a multi-purpose attack; she uses it to catch falling people, use as a whip against villains, and uses it to scale buildings; similar to Blackwhip.

**Will-o-the-Wisps** (*ウィルオウィスプ U-Iruō-Isupu*): This is a Super Move as much as it is a technique when Chiseko creates several small glowing projectiles made completely out of raw energy using her Quirk and attacks using them. These orbs are extremely small and and are easy to for Chiseko to maneuver with ease. Chiseko is able to creat up to five at a time and can manipulate each one independently for about a minute. The size and amount of energy of each wisp depends on Chiseko's stored energy in her body. Chiseko is unable to use this attack after overuse of her Quirk.

## Equipment

**Hero Costume:** Chiseko's hero costume is designed to diminish the drawbacks of her quirk as much as possible as well as give her an optimal performance.

* **Gauntlet:** The gauntlets of her wrists are designed to suck the most amount of energy out of Chiseko's body in order to attack
* **Utility Belt:** The belt contains extra cartridges of small snacks and energy bars in case the current ones if the sensors on her wrists tell her of low energy rating in the area braces are ever used up completely.  She can swap them out at any time. The belt also has a small storage unit for other objects (such as her phone) in the back. The belt, braces, and cartridges are all made of the same durable, lightweight metal material.

* **Hooded Cloak**: This cloak is covered in pockets where Chiseko stores food so she can get a steady stream of energy to lower the damage in her surroundings.
