### Fighting Style

Undistinguishable

**Bai Xu** (白旭, *Bái xù*), garnering the title of **The Quirkless Hero** (風変わりなヒーロー, *Fūgawarina hīrō*), is a pro hero and one of the executives under Amara in La Pace Famiglia, leader of "Vengeance".

## Appearance

Bai appears as a beautiful Chinese woman with long, dark blue hair, often seen in a ponytail, and red eyes. She stands at 168 cm, and her weight is unknown. She has the traits of an Eastern dragon in mythology, which can be seen from the shape of her horns and tail.

## Personality

Bai is ruthless and can kill and harm others with no remorse. She seems completely indifferent towards other people unless it's her sister. Unlike her sister, she doesn't take any sadistic pleasure in hurting or killing people, but at the same time, she shows little concern for other people's suffering.

No one knows anything about her life prior to becoming a pro hero and no one questions her quirk, dedication, or hatred of her enemies. Pro heroes working with Bai often complained about her demeanor--too strict and too harsh. Everyone thought that this harsh character would disappear in the struggle for power, and she would soften up after being worn down by endless incidents.

According to Acantha Lapsusest, she's terrifying when she's mad, but you don't want to mess with her even when she's not.

Of course, Bai is not a total workaholic. Those who know her say she is almost perfect. She operates efficiently, scheduling her time wisely so that she can exercise and tend to her hobbies. Every minute of her day is filled with meaningful activities.

And yet this worries her colleagues even more. It is common for her to cancel her days off and to work overtime on into the night. It's also common for a mountain of paperwork to disappear one day only for her to get called into an urgent meeting when she is about to go see a movie.

Even her friends wouldn't say they understand Bai. She tries to do it all.

## Abilities

* **Master Swordswoman**: Bai has natural aptitude for the ways of her sword, which she has named Zhèngmíng ā'ěrfǎ (English: Justifier Alpha). She is able to wield the sword with incredible expertise in speed, power, and skill, allowing her to perform feats, such as stopping and deflecting bullets, decimating large objects or areas, cutting through a solid material such as steel, and even hold back her strength to deal damage to her foes without killing them. Bai is able to operate with little to no effort, deliver skillful strikes to weak points with great precision, and cut only and exactly what she wants. She is even able to perform seemingly impossible feats with ease, such as cutting through nigh-invulnerable or intangible materials, blocking or deflecting things that should be impossible to block/deflect and even slash targets from any distance.
* **Strength**: Bai is unnaturally, yet noticeably, strong, being able to lift heavy objects such as cars, trucks, and buses. She's also able to lift or move extremely heavy objects such as bulldozers, etc. She is even rumored to be capable of lifting from large tanks to large airplanes, and able to lift massive boulders and locomotives with ease. Takumi has stated that Bai is capable of tearing the strongest metals like a piece of paper with her bare hands. Offensively, she is able to send opponents flying several miles away. She claims to have gotten this way after years of training and workouts (her own personal workout being unaccomplishable by anyone other than herself), but her strength is completely inhumane and she couldn't have gotten this way through normal workouts.

### Quirk

**Warrior**: Bai has never been seen using the Retribution part of her quirk, which led many to suspect she didn't have a quirk at all. Indeed, she did struggle to control her quirk, blasting the occasional hole in a wall, blowing files everywhere, and causing more collateral damage than might otherwise be acceptable. Using her quirk for too long tires her out. It is eventually revealed the reason why doesn't use her quirk is because she is physically unable to control it, and doing so would cause harm not only to everything around her but to herself as well.

### Super Moves

* Her first super move, **Sheathed Strike**, causes Bai's attack to do more damage and stuns the target for a short time every several attacks. However, the other two super moves overshadow Sheathed Strike.

* Her second super move, **Unsheath**, is Bai's most infamous skill; she performs a quickdraw attack with two swords that does two instances of massive damage to multiple enemies, both ground and aerial, in a radius of 2x3 feet with a 2-feet extension ahead of her.

* Her third super move, **Shadowless**, has Bai seek enemies in a radius of 2 feet around her and launch rapid teleporting attacks – in an almost similar manner to Omnislash from the *Final Fantasy* series – at them that does high damage on each hit with the last one also stuns the victim for a short time. Though each hit is not as damaging as Unsheath, the number of hits make Shadowless excellent for clearing groups of enemies and the stun on the last attack also allows it to cause serious damage towards enemies, if not killing them outright.

## Trivia

* Her given name, Bai, comes from the Chinese *白 (bái)* meaning "white, pure", *百 (bǎi)* meaning "one hundred, many" or *柏 (bǎi)* meaning "cypress tree, cedar" (which is usually only masculine). Her surname, Xu, comes from the Chinese*徐 (xú)* meaning "slowly, calmly".
* Her creator has stated that Bai is a tsundere.
* There are often small pieces of paper that have been ripped apart or angrily crumbled in Bai's trash bin.
* Her theme song is titled 'Vengeance'.
* Bai's daily (and personal) workout consists of 1000 pushups, 2500 sit-ups, 1200 jumping jacks. 1500 punches, 800 bicep curls, 800 dead lifts, 850 shoulder presses, and 1000 high knees, though she is considering making it more challenging.
* Her sword, Zhèngmíng ā'ěrfǎ, translates to 'Justified Alpha', most likely a reference to the fact nothing seems to be able to beat the sword, or stop the sword from doing it's job. At least, not anything at the moment.

### About Bai

* *"The Quirkless Hero... very few know her, but those who do say she's truly a force to be reckoned with. Rumored to be able to defeat even the strongest entities, all while possessing no distinguishable quirk, it was thought quirkless people couldn't become heroes. Blade in hand, she'll cut you down easily if you stand in her way. Criminals are terrified of her abilities, and there is not one person who doesn't know the legend of The Quirkless Hero. And those who have encountered her and lived to tell the tale say she's truly something out of this world..."*
