### **Description**

Inko Midoriya is the caring mother of Izuku Midoriya and the wife of Hisashi Midoriya. She comes from a unique family background, being the daughter of Sae Aizawa, a former pro hero known as Mobility, and Binta Kiriyama.

When Inko was 12 years old, her parents, Sae and Binta, went through a divorce, which deeply affected her. She struggled to understand why they had to separate. Following the divorce, Sae married Issei Aizawa and stepped away from her hero duties.

Tragedy struck when Issei, Inko's stepfather, was killed by All For One after Sae gave birth to their child, Shota Aizawa. Inko's family took in Sae and baby Shota for three months before they believed it was safe to move out again. However, a few weeks later, Sae was also killed by All For One, leaving Inko devastated at the tender age of 14. It remains unclear whether All For One took Sae's quirk as well.

Inko developed a deep fear of villains and harbored resentment towards her half-brother Shota. She also felt guilty about her father's sense of responsibility for the tragic loss.

Inko eventually married Hisashi, and they welcomed their son Izuku into the world. To provide for their family, Hisashi made the difficult decision to move to America, leaving Inko and Izuku behind in Japan. Despite the physical distance, Hisashi has made occasional visits home, although they have become less frequent over time. Recently, he could only make it back for New Year's celebrations.

Hisashi also surprised his family by visiting Japan when Izuku completed his first and second years at U.A. High School. Despite the challenges of their situation, Hisashi yearns to spend more time with Inko and Izuku.

While living in the neighborhood, Inko formed friendships with Masaru and Mitsuki Bakugo, Jun and Yuna Cho, and other local residents. She works as a house cleaner, diligently supporting her family.

Inko experienced a mix of emotions when Izuku's fire manipulation Quirk was revealed. She saw her son's potential but also knew the dangers associated with his powerful ability. Unfortunately, a tragic incident occurred in the past when Izuku accidentally harmed Inko with his uncontrolled flames. The incident left both of them frightened and scarred, with Izuku developing a fear of his own Quirk.

Inko's guilt overwhelmed her as she believed she had failed to get Izuku the proper guidance and support he needed to master his fire manipulation. She blamed herself for not being able to protect him from the accidental injury and for inadvertently instilling fear in him. However, her perspective shifted when Izuku gained admission into U.A. High School, a testament to his determination and potential as a hero. Inko realized that she had underestimated her son's strength and resolve.

To mend their relationship and make amends, Inko took it upon herself to create a hero suit for Izuku, demonstrating her unwavering support and belief in his dreams. She apologized for ever doubting him and expressed her pride in his remarkable achievements during the U.A. Sports Festival. Inko's love for her son remained steadfast, and she became fiercely protective, refusing to allow him to be relocated to U.A.'s dormitories. She feared the potential self-destructive consequences of his Quirk and worried about the intense battles he might face without the hope of a full recovery.

Inko's lack of confidence in U.A. High School stemmed from her concerns about the rigorous challenges her son would encounter and her inability to fully entrust his well-being to them. Witnessing the battles fought by All Might, she grappled with the harsh reality that Izuku might face similarly brutal and life-threatening situations.

Inko's greatest desire is to see her son happy, safe, and fulfilled. She continues to support Izuku unconditionally, despite her reservations. Her love and protective instincts drive her to navigate the complexities of her son's extraordinary Quirk, hoping to find a way for him to harness his power without causing harm to himself or others.

As the family's financial situation improves through Izuku's work studies, Hisashi contemplates the idea of moving back to Japan to be closer to his loved ones and actively participate in their lives once again.
