Reiko Yanagi

**Reiko Yanagi** (レイ *Yanagi Reiko*?), also known as **Emily** (エミリー *Emirī*?), is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Reiko is a pale-skinned young woman of average height. She has chin-length, pale gray hair parted on her right, which obscures the majority of the left side of her face. She has dark bags under her blue eyes, and a small mouth with full lips. Her hands are usually held up as high as her elbows with her hands draped down, this gesture being somewhat connotative of a ghost.

Her hero costume consists of a pale purple, knee-length kimono with a white, furred collar, three dark straps around her waist, black knee-high socks, and a black mask that covers her face from the bridge of her nose down, somewhat like the one always worn by Mezo Shoji.

## Personality

Reiko is a quiet and emotionless teenager who often shows an odd body posture, wherein she keeps her elbows to her side and lets her hands dangle, which somewhat resembles ancient depictions of zombies, ghosts, and other undead creatures, alluding to her Quirk.

Befitting her Quirk and appearance, Reiko is shown to be a fan of horror and enjoys reading scary stories online. Despite this though, she can come off as rather timid at times, as she seemed intimidated by Neito Monoma's ranting towards Class 1-A and referred to him as scary. Outside of this, she can also be rather helpful, as she served as Itsuka Kendo's attendant during the U.A. School Festival's Beauty Pageant, which suggests that she has a good fashion sense.

She can also be quite verbose with her wording, as she referred to Izuku Midoriya as "spooky", causing her classmates to simplify what she says to those not familiar with her.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** As a Hero Course student, Reiko has shown to be quite formidable and has a good handle on her Quirk, Poltergeist, which allows her to telekinetically move objects, as well as use them as projectiles in battle. During the final round of the Joint Training Battle, Reiko displayed great camaraderie with her classmates Nirengeki Shoda and Yui Kodai; Reiko's levitated objects were made bigger and more difficult to dodge by Yui, while Nirengeki made the said objects launch faster and deliver more damage upon impact. Reiko's Quirk handling allowed her team to launch long-ranged attacks on their opponents without revealing their location. In spite of her group having technical superpowers that worked in concert with one another, Reiko was swiftly defeated by Ochaco Uraraka. In the Final War, Reiko and Yui proved pivotal in aiding Mt. Lady to subdue a re-awakened Gigantomachia by supplying the giant Lurker with enlarged levitating weapons. This collaboration was maintained until a confrontation with All For One, where the Symbol of Evil overpowered the group of heroes.

**Tactical Intellect**: Reiko has also proven to be quite analytical of her opponents as before her team's match started, she identified Izuku Midoriya as their biggest threat with the substantial and improved power of his Quirk, speed, mobility, and recently acquired ability to perform long-ranged attacks.

### Quirk

**Poltergeist** (ポルターガイスト *Porutāgaisuto*?): Reiko's Quirk allows her to telekinetically control nearby objects. The weight limit of her Quirk is roughly the weight of the average human.

For offense, Reiko can levitate multiple objects at once and send them flying at her target at high speed.
