Yuriko Mari

**Yuriko Mari** (マリゆり子 Mari Yuriko), also known as the **Deception Hero: Deceptor** (欺瞞の英雄：欺瞞者 Giman no eiyū: Gimansha), is a student in U.A High School and training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Yuriko is a relatively tall and slim girl with a mild hourglass frame. She has long, rich brown hair with golden-amber tips with most of her hair held up in a ponytail. Along with that, her hair is parted to the right side of her head. Her eyes are slightly narrow and her chin is slightly pointed. Yuriko's face normally shows how bubbly and cheerful she is but noticeably becomes quite scary looking when angered. Yuriko also normally wears her school uniform with the blazer off. Along with that, she also has one ring piercing in her left ear, a black choker around her neck, and an orange hair clip on the left side of her hair.

Her hero costume is quite plain and not flashy, like she requested. It is an orange, sleeveless top with black leggings. Along with that, the factor of "look sneaky" was heavily overdone with an orange beanie, a black mask, and a black bandanna, although the mask and bandanna can be used to cover her mouth so that nobody can tell what she is saying from a distance. Her shoes are simple black sneakers.

## Personality

Yuriko is a kind, bubbly, and easy to get along with. Along with this, she may seem like a bit of a pushover, but let it be known that if somebody tries to mess with her, she'll let them know that it was a mistake, either by threatening them or making them look like a fool.

Yuriko is more of a laid back character, normally choosing to do the minimum unless it comes to using her quirk, in which she will show it off as much as she can. Going hand-in-hand with this, she goes between acting completely into something and acting like it's the dullest and dumbest thing ever. When put under pressure, Yuriko does surprisingly well and is able to come up with something quickly, unlike when she is presented with something that'll need to be done later where she'll procrastinate. This trait of hers can easily be used to someones advantage, such as saying that something needs to be done in less than an hour when really it needs to be done by the end of the day.

Yuriko will often try to make an effort to get anybody she knows to like her, whether it's appealing to their ideals or doing things for them, even if they ask her to leave them alone, she will do something to raise their relationship with her. When she does this, she tends to focus on one person for a while before moving onto the next. When she first did this to one of her classmates, it raised the question of if she liked them, which she denied and explained how she just wanted them to like her.

Even though her father died when she was at the young age of 10, Yuriko had handled his death very well. After all, he had used his quirk to save people from an accident even though he wasn't a pro hero when he died, so why should she be sad? He died a hero! Ever since that day, her role model had been her deceased father, constantly asking her mom about anything cool he did before she was born or could remember. Her little brother who is three years younger than her, however looked up to her mother, so there was always the friendly bickering of which of them were better.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities:** Although Yuriko barely does hand-to-hand combat, she has proven herself to be a formidable foe, what with finding multiple loopholes to make her quirk almost overpowered. Her physical strength is average, able to have an impressive fight, but not one against a physically strong foe. Along with that, Yuriko is very flexible and agile, able to get into small fitting places to hide. She tends to fight from the shadows but if ever presented with the need to fight face-to-face she won't back down.

### Quirk

**Deception** (欺くこと Azamuku koto): Yuriko's Quirk allows her to say something and make it true, although there are conditions. For one, Yuriko must say the statement out loud. It can be as detailed as she wants but that just runs down the time limit that she has. The smaller the lie, the longer is lasts for. For example, if she lied that she ate eggs for breakfast, the lie would last for 24 hours, giving her the satisfaction and health of eating eggs for breakfast. However, if she for example said that whoever she looked at would be turned to stone like medusa, that would last for only 5 minutes. Whenever the lie ends, if it had any effect on another person, the effect will lift.

Her lies can also be ended if some body brings to light what the lie was. For example, if she lied that her quirk was the ability to fly, if some body proclaimed, "Your lie is that your quirk is flight!", the lie would instantly end (There aren't any set words to do this, so long as they call her out on what she said). Yuriko uses the loopholes that she finds to get around this factor, like adding on simple things, like not only is her quirk flight, but her hair grew a centimetre, making her opponent need to figure out that factor as well.
