Asuna is considered a very beautiful girl, having a slender body for her age, with long golden hair and golden eyes. For her hero outfit she usually wears a white and black battle cloth, black arm covers, and long blue boots. She wears her armor over this consisting of a head guard, breastplate, arm guards, hip guards, and knee guards.

## Personality

Asuna is a mostly quiet person who has trouble expressing her feelings through words. Because of this, she is thought to be mysterious; however, she is actually mentally young, even visualizing a younger version of herself in certain situations. Asuna is also believed to be an airhead, namely due to her quiet nature. She is very strong-willed, doing everything to reach her goal to become even stronger. She also tends to react violently whenever someone does anything remotely perverted to her. Through Asuna's thick exterior, she truly is a kind and caring individual helping other whenever she can.

Asuna is unable to swim, as when she was 7 years old, Asuna got into a horrible storm accident which lead to the death of her parents, who were heading to her grandfather's house for her birthday that same day. Ever since, she's been lead into a dark corner of darkness which is why she has built such a cold exterior.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Having trained since she was young by her grandfather, Asuna is a skilled swordsman and is usually recognized as the most powerful in her family. Her ability stems from her constant training by herself and the one provided by her grandfather. Even back then, her technique sometimes surprised him, which was the result of her quick conviction which even himself, a former hero, saw that she remembered and practiced.

While her skill with her sword is amazing, her fighting style is very brutal and aggressive, which is why few weapons are capable of withstanding it. Asuna's techniques specialize in battling non-quirk combatants, which despite her skill she has challanges battling against foes with Quirks that can quickly overwhelm her which is shown when was attacked by the Sludge Villain. This was also remarked by L, the principal, who clarified that Asuna is not very good against other Quirk-ed individuals and specializes in fighting non-Quirk users due to her skill.

**Swordsmanship**: Asuna possesses great mastery in swordsmanship and her skills in swordsmanship are of the highest caliber. Her offensive capabilities mainly come from her swordplay, which enables her to effectively utilize the weapons that her Quirk provides, which includes makeshift creations of swords, short swords, axes, lances and staffs (among others). Asuna has shown great skill in utilizing the reverse-grip of swordsmanship as well as the normal grip. She is even capable of employing her swords effectively using her feet, by wielding their hilts between her hallux and second toe.

**Hand-to-Hand Combat**: Despite favoring the use of her various weapons, Asuna has proven herself to be a skilled hand-to-hand combatant. She is also able to mix hand-to-hand combat with her swordsmanship while in the midst of battle.

**Enhanced Durability**: Asuna is shown to possess above average endurance and durability. She's tough enough to withstand the blowback of her light-based explosions regularly with only moderate pain.

**Immense Strength**: Asuna possesses a high-caliber physical strength, confirmed by his ability to use her full-powered Light Bomb without sustaining effects from recoil, whereas Ryuko nearly dislocated her arm trying to do so. She's also strong enough to casually pick up and throw people of Ryuko's size considerable distance with one arm.

**Enhanced Reflexes**: Perhaps Asuna's greatest physical trait is her fantastic reflexes and reaction time. She's shown on several occasions overwhelming his foes with his speed or completely evading all their attacks while striking back such as in her battles with Ryuko, and Maya, who's Quirk allowed her to move through space in an instant. Her superb reflexes even allow her to evade a jet of carbonated water strong enough to cleave a street lamp in two. Typically jets of water that can cut through metal travel at 760 m/s (1700 mph) which is over twice the speed of sound. Even when suffering from multiple stab wounds he could temporarily hold his own against the Near High Ends with help from other heroes.

**Keen Intellect**: Asuna has proven to be extremely intelligent and strategic. While she occasionally doesn't have preemptive strategies like most people, she does analyze her opponent's weaknesses such as when he realized Akane's weakness to needing to see to use her Quirk during the U.A. Sports Festival in the midst of battle and can anticipate worst-case scenarios. Even when fighting the weaker villains during the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, Asuna quickly assessed which of the attacking villains were the most dangerous threat in the long term and eventually figured out a way to incapacitate Kurogiri, one of the invasion's leaders.

Even outside of battle, Asuna is incredibly perceptive, having deducted the truth about [to be decided]. Asuna can seemingly detect when people are lying to him by just reading into their behaviors and expressions.

Still, Asuna's reliance on herself, causes her to overlook crucial details and commit mistakes.

### Quirk

**Spectrum**: Asuna's Quirk is one of duality, she is the weakest at midnight, but starting from dawn her power begins to rise steadily from one hour to the next until it peaks at noon. Asuna's Quirk is based on light sources and energy, but mainly UV rays as she can harness that energy which allows to her to manipulate that light or bend it to her will. She's able to create spontaneous creations made of light but it can't get too complicated as her Quirk can only extend so far before it fades. She can also amp up the brightness of her Quirk, capable of blinding the enemy and shoot lasers from her hands. It's also apprarent that Asuna's skin must come into contact with UV rays for her to utilize her Quirk.

But this Quirk does come with its down sides, as the advantage of the speed of light can also be a disadvantage since light does not move into a singular spot it can be more difficult to aim in ever need of ranged attacks as let's say a beam of light, whole powerful it can be quite difficult to hit its target. The duality of her Quirk states that she can store and absorb light energy, mainly the UV rays inside that light but at night she doesn't receive much UV rays and is limited to using her Quirk more sparingly.

### Super Moves

**Daybreaker** (夜明け):

**Morning Star Lance** (モーニングスターランス):

**Aura Glare** (オーラグレア): Utilized by the steel armor that covers her body, she uses the light refracting to establish a thin wall of light that surrounds her, this wall can withstand heavy damage with notably a explosion to be recorded at 175 decibels, totaling to a ton of TNT.

**Light Ball** (ライトボール):

**True Excalibur** (真のエクスカリバー): **(ULTMIATE)**

## Equipment

**Hero Outfit**: Asuna sports a white dress with a steel chest plate meant for protection as well as steel knee pads on her knees and arms. Though the outfit may seem unsafe for combat, the main reason is that Asuna's Quirk absorbs UV rays but can only absorb wit touches her skin and considers clothing a limiter. The steel chest plates also works as a way to refract the light so it bounces off of her, she utilizes this to perform her super move: Aura Glare, which creates a thin barrier of light which can withstand heavy damage.

* **Rapier**: Asuna usually carries a rapier meant for battle in case its midnight and she can no longer hold long-term light constructs such as her light sword: Daybreaker.
