Atsumi Kyuuhou

**Atsumi Kyuuhou** (吸(きゅう)放(ほう)・熱(あつ)美(み), *Kyuuhou Atsumi*), also known as the **Warmth Hero: Ardour** (温(ぬく)もりヒーローアーダー, *Nukumori Hīrō А̄dā*), is a student in Class 2-A at U.A High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Atsumi is a fair-skinned teenage girl of average height with a rather mature physique for her age. She has long mousy brown hair that is normally tied into hip-length braids with thin orange ribbons at the ends and red eyes that droop slightly behind thin-framed glasses, giving her a soft appearance.

During school hours, she wears the standard female uniform which consists of a gray blazer with blue-green stripes, a white collared button-up shirt, red tie, pleated blue-green skirt, grey stockings, and brown loafers.

Her palms and fingers have slightly thicker skin so as to better conduct heat and prevent Atsumi from being hurt by hot surfaces.

Her hero costume (TBA).

## Personality

Atsumi is a soft-spoken girl with a desire to keep others safe. She places a lot of importance on studying and theory, sometimes to the point of neglecting her physical training.

She's adept at staying calm in an emergency, seeming to almost thrive under stress. Atsumi claims that her brain simply shuts off anything that isn't useful.

Atsumi is very humble and modest; she's fully aware that her Quirk is unimpressive and that she's one of the weaker students in 2-A when it comes to combat, but she refuses to let it hold her back and instead decides that she'll make the best of her Quirk.

Though usually passive and mellow, Atsumi becomes surprisingly intense when playing Gacha games, becoming nearly obsessed with earning her favorite characters.

## Abilities

### Quirk

**Heat Absorption** (吸(きゅう)熱(ねつ), *Kyuunetsu*): Atsumi's Quirk allows her to absorb heat through her palms, which she can then release either in a wave or directly into a person or object.

Though not an especially powerful Quirk, Atsumi is capable of causing people to overheat or freeze.

Atsumi isn't completely unaffected by her Quirk; absorbing too much heat can cause overheating, while releasing too much heat can cause hypothermia.

### Super Moves

* **Direct Release** (直接(ちょくせつ)解(かい)除(じょ)), *Chokusetsu Kaijo*): After stealing a sufficient amount of heat from one source, Atsumi then places her hand against her desired target and releases all the collected heat.

## Equipment

**Hero Costume:** Atsumi's hero costume is tailored to negate or downplay the drawbacks of her Quirk.

* **Atsumi Visor** (あつみバイザー, *Atsumi Baizā*): This piece of equipment protects Atsumi's eyes from dust and debris while also being more durable than her regular glasses.

* **Cooling Jacket** (温(おん)度(ど)調(ちょう)節(せつ)ジャケット, *Ondo Chousetsu Jaketto*): Atsumi's jacket contains a special device that can detect her body heat and regulate it if rises or lowers to a dangerous level.

* **Atsumi Bracelets** (あつみブレスレット, *Atsumi Buresuretto*): This piece of equipment is capable of trapping heat, allowing Atsumi to release excess heat while also having it available if needed.

* **Steel-Toed Boots** (安(あん)全(ぜん)ブーツ, *Anzen Buutsu*): In order to make up for her lack of offensive abilities, Atsumi's boots allow her to deliver powerful kicks.
