**Doodling** (いたずら書き, *Itazuragaki*) is a Quirk used by Shinju Matsuura. Using this Quirk, Shinju is able to give herself or others enhancements based on drawings made on the target's skin.

## Description

By making markings on someone's skin, Shinju is able to give them enhancements that reflect those markings. For example, she's once doubled her own speed by drawing a crude lightning bolt on her thigh.

For as long as the drawing remains undisturbed, Doodling's effects will continue. Any sort of erasure will nullify the enhancement - including a partial one. Because Doodling only requires a marking however, a permanent drawing (like a tattoo for example) would still active her quirk.

That being said, Doodling requires a large amount of concentration and willpower to pull off flawlessly since it boosts the target's condition far beyond what they're accustomed too. Anyone unprepared or reckless can exhaust themselves within seconds and if used dangerously can threaten the target's wellbeing.

A permanent instance of Doodling is more danger than it's worth in this regard.

Because the effects of Doodling are entirely reliant on the symbolism they represent, different effects can be predicted to a certain degree. Whereas other can be completely random- the quirk boosting enhancement for example, is simply an infinity symbol. Paired with the symbol itself, Shinju soon discovered that the placement on the body is somewhat relevant as well since the output can be enhanced if the drawing is placed in a relevant area- legs for speed or agility, arms or chest for strength, etc.

## Strengths

Doodling is an incredibly strong supportive ability, but also has it's benefits to Shinju herself since she's capable of using them on her own body. Because of the nature of her quirk, any symbols she makes on a person's body can create enhancements for the user's benefit - she was once worried about giving negative effects, but it seems that Doodling doesn't work that way.

She's able to give a single target more than one enhancement at once, but prefers only to do so under extreme circumstances since Doodling is incredibly taxing to the unprepared. Since she's familiar with the level of willpower required for multiple enhancements, she often uses two or three in regular combat.

Shinju has been known to give the following enhancements:

 *"Infinity symbol drawn on chest"* | Quirk Boosting

## Weaknesses

* If Shinju doesn't have anything to draw with she cannot use her quirk.
	+ The image must be perfect for Doodling to come into effect. Any smudges or blemishes made while drawing will automatically nullify her quirk.
* The effects of Doodling can be, and essentially are, entirely random.
* Shinju relies on constant trial and error, and is therefore limited to the enhancements she's already aware of.
* Doodling only enhances preexisting abilities- she's been known to augment the output of a target's quirk, but cannot grant them abilities they do not already somewhat possess.
	+ By extension, this also means that Shinju cannot recover lost abilities - her quirk will not heal injuries or anything of a similar nature.
