Elena Kamata

Elena in her element

## Appearance

### **General Appearance**

Elena is a small and slight girl with short, messy blonde hair that always seems to slightly cover her face. Her face is round and she wears a permanent smile, like she is happy to see you yet doesn't quite know how best to put her emotions into words. When not in uniform, Elena likes wearing tightly laced hiking boots, jeans, and wool sweaters. She is particularly fond of a blue shirt with a donkey on it with a label implying that the donkey is "smart". She owns 5 of them.

### **Costumed Appearance**

Elena wears a dark green jumpsuit with loooots of pockets, reinforced in the chest and thigh area with small strips of steel sewn into the fabric. Over the top, she equips a black parachute harness sans parachute made from nylon and steel attachment points that wraps around both her legs, her waist, and chest. The harness has small loops that she can easily slip her hands into to hold her arms across her chest. She also wears yellow goggles.

## Personality

Elena is a quiet, shy nerd. Every choice she makes about her actions or her appearance either reflect her desire to blend in or her apathy about external opinions. She does not wear fancy or particularly form fitting clothes, and styling her mess of blonde hair is often more trouble than it is worth. In a group, she does not speak unless spoken to, and uses a tone that if written, would almost entirely be in lowercase. In a private conversation, Elena hates speaking about herself and tends to answer in as few words and with as little information as possible. Many times she has been told that one should question the other person about their life to initiate a dialogue, but she can never muster the courage to ask. Contrasting this is quite a large desire to build friendships, but Elena can never seem to figure out how. Hopefully this is her year.

Elena does, however, have a social on button. Ask her about anything to do with air or space travel, and one has opened a can of worms that is impossible to close. She could talk for *hours* about planes, stars, planets, and rocket ships. Elena's face lights up and she pushes her hair out of her eyes as she looks to the sky and begins talking with enthusiasm that seems mismatched from her small body. Rarely though does she get an opportunity to discuss space with anybody, so her dreamy expression and excited eyes are reserved for time alone, researching rockets.

## Character Background

Elena is an only child born to two loving parents. For her early life, she experienced a fairly usual childhood. Her quirk manifested when she was playing catch with her father. As a wiffle ball was thrown to her, suddenly her eyes glowed blue and Elena used Push to launch the ball into the neighbor's yard. Her father was elated, lifting his arms to the sky before running to Elena and sweeping her into a bear hug, before telling her equally proud mother. The ball has yet to be found.

Even though she had a strong quirk, Elena had no desire to become a hero. Her intention was to follow in her father's footsteps and become an engineer, using her intelligence rather than her physical gifts. However, Elena's plans shifted significantly in middle school. Middle schoolers bully each other. This is nothing new. Bullies tend to focus their efforts on the small, the nerdy, and the socially awkward. Also, nothing new. What was different about Elena was that she had the ability to fight back. She never unleashed her quirk on any of the bullies, until one day she snapped, slamming a boy into the wall, holding him 3 feet off the ground and breaking 2 of his ribs with the force of her push.

Elena did not go back to school after that day. The school district was willing to let her back with a slap on the wrist due to her previous good standing, but neither she nor her parents has any desire to risk a repeat of that event. Her parents homeschooled her for the next few years, with her dad teaching her about science, mathematics, and medicine, and her mom sneaking out with her to the local park to practice controlling her quirk. She learned two things. The first is that she loved space. The second is that she loved flying, and by pushing just right, she could lift herself off the ground and soar.

This winter, Elena and her parents decided that she was ready try school again. She managed to crush her written entrance exams enough to make up for a far less stellar physical exam, and she is now enrolled in U.A. with the goal of making some friends, learning some skills, and do something with her quirk. Maybe she won't become a hero, but Elena is okay with that. U.A. is a chance for her to improve herself, and nobody is going to stop her.

## Quirk

#### **Push**

Elena can generate a pushing force originating from her body within 10 meters of herself. Her quirk is most usually used to stop projectiles hurtling towards her, send small items flying, pushing opponents off balance, or even knocking them over if Elena pushes in the right spot and her adversary doesn't have good enough footing. By pushing the shoulder straps of her harness, she can even move her body around with great acceleration in any direction.

**Quirk Cost**

 Total QP
 QP Spent

 Short(+5)
 * Clear Trail(-1): When the user's quirk is active, their eyes light up and turn blue.
* Nervous Habit(-2): The user can push objects within a meter of themselves without looking. Objects further out however require line of sight.
* Spread Shot(+3) The wave itself is wide, allowing it to target multiple targets at once. However, this also reduces the effectiveness of the push.
* Weakened Muscles(-4): Using their quirk uses the same muscle groups as doing physical activities. Because of this, the user has a reluctance to do strenuous physical activity, causing muscle degradation, and reducing their strength permanently by one grade.
