Ayuna Himekawa

**Ayuna Himekawa** (姫川彩夕南 *Himekawa Ayuna*), also known as **Opal** (オパール *Opāru*), is a student in Class 3-B at U.A. High School.

## Appearance

Ayuna is a light-skinned girl of average height with a curvaceous figure. She has round eyes with thick upper lashes and her irises have segmental heterochromia, consisting of pale green on the top half with pink on the bottom half of her irises. Her hair is a light mauve color that reaches down her lower back and has side-swept bangs. It has two braids at the front and the tips of the hair behind her flows forward to encircle her waist. According to most students at U.A. High, she has innocent and unique features, and has been occasionally compared to a fairytale princess because of her ethereal beauty and habits.

## Personality

Ayuna is known to be someone with a pure heart and very sweet personality, making her really popular among the male students of U.A. High because of her innocence and cuteness. Although she can be a little shy at first, she becomes more confident and talkative as she grows comfortable with someone's presence. She shows a motherly and affectionate side to the people that she likes and has a very low tolerance of people who insult her friends. When angered or provoked, she exudes an aura of hostility and tends to raise her voice.

Her stern, prim, proper, and overprotective grandmother unknowingly restricted her ability to properly learn how to interact with others her age, which in many instances has left her confused with trendy things, slang words, and other normal activities. Because she is often clueless and ignorant, she is very appreciative of people who are patient and understanding with her while she is learning. She has a soft spot for quiet people as she sees much of herself in them and helps them communicate with others when they are too nervous by reading their body language and speech to guess what they are trying to convey.

Much like her cousin, she tends to be exceedingly curious about certain things, which often leads to her many impromptu adventures. While she can be a little naive and childish sometimes, she is also very cunning and calculating in situations she perceives as dangerous. She will not hesitate to sacrifice herself in order to save others as she believes that it is only right to die protecting the people who gave her life happiness.
