**Mina Ashido** (芦 (あし) 戸 (ど) 三 (み) 奈 (な) , *Ashido Mina*?)

### **Description**

Mina Ashido is a spirited student in Class 3-A at U.A. High School, passionately pursuing her dream of becoming a Pro Hero. She owes a great deal of her personality and abilities to her parents, Kenichi and Kai Ashido, who have played significant roles in shaping her.

Her mother, Kenichi, is a vibrant and energetic fitness instructor known for her neon workout gear straight out of the 80s. Mina's love for neoncore fashion stems from her mother's colorful style. Kenichi possesses a photosynthesis quirk, which allows her skin cells to produce chlorophyll and harness the power of sunlight. Mina's positive outlook on life and connection to nature are heavily influenced by her mother's vibrant energy.

Mina's father, Kai, is a personal trainer with a deep passion for quirk sports, emphasizing fair and safe usage of quirks in various athletic activities. Like Mina, Kai possesses an acid-based quirk, but his ability is limited to sweating acid and he cannot actively produce large amounts at will. Nevertheless, Kai's dedication to training and maintaining a healthy lifestyle has profoundly influenced Mina's physical abilities.

The Ashido family enjoys a comfortable lifestyle due to their financial well-being. Mina's parents' successful careers have provided her with opportunities and resources to pursue her dreams.

Mina has three siblings, two of whom possess photosynthesis-related quirks, similar to their mother. Her older brother, Kenji, shares Mina's passion for dance and is currently pursuing a dance-related degree at university. He aspires to combine his love for dance with his unique quirk, aiming to become a professional performer. Mina looks up to her brother's dedication and talent, finding inspiration in his pursuit of his dreams.

Her younger sister, Haru, is considering a more academic path to further explore the potential of her quirk. Fascinated by the science behind their family's photosynthesis-related abilities, Haru envisions a future where she can contribute to the understanding and development of quirks in a scientific capacity. Mina encourages and supports her sister's aspirations, impressed by her ambition and thirst for knowledge.

The youngest member of the Ashido family is Mitsuo, who is still in primary school. Mitsuo possesses a transformation quirk that allows him to turn into an acidic liquid, similar to Mina and her father. As the youngest sibling, Mina, her father, and her older siblings, Kenji and Haru, take on the responsibility of guiding Mitsuo in controlling and understanding his quirk. Together, they provide him with love, support, and guidance to ensure his growth and development.

Known for her cheerful and easygoing nature, Mina always wears a bright smile on her face. She thrives in social situations and finds joy in spending time with her friends. Missing out on gatherings and events visibly upsets her, highlighting her strong desire to be involved and connect with others.

Alongside her sociability, Mina possesses a strong fashion sense and loves going shopping. Her unique style reflects her vibrant personality and complements her preference for neon-inspired fashion choices.

Mina's athleticism and boundless energy make her particularly skilled at dancing. She finds joy in this art form and excels at it. Interestingly, when teaching others to dance, Mina's demeanor becomes more strict and perfectionistic, contrasting with her typically happy-go-lucky nature. Surprisingly, her dancing has a calming effect, even on those who have strained relationships with others.

Mina originally claimed that she had never been in love, but that she harbored a desire to experience it. This longing has led her to assume the unofficial role of Class 3-A's matchmaker. She keeps a "Shipping" journal filled with her classmates' names and notes about their compatibility. Mina considers herself a love expert and is always on the lookout for potential connections among her friends.

In her second year at U.A. High School, Mina Ashido's friendship with Eijiro Kirishima grew stronger, and it became increasingly evident that Eijiro had feelings for her. Mina had always been aware of Eijiro's admiration since their middle school days. While Mina stood out as a rising star with her flashy quirk and social attitude, Eijiro, initially teased for having a "weak" quirk, struggled with self-consciousness when comparing himself to her natural talent and vibrant personality.

Their relationship took a significant turn when Mina showcased her bravery during a critical incident. Eijiro had attempted to stop some bullies but failed, and Mina effortlessly stepped in, diffusing the situation with her breakdancing skills and quick thinking. Witnessing her heroism firsthand, Eijiro felt a mix of admiration and guilt for his perceived shortcomings.

Eijiro apologized to Mina and her friends, believing his actions to be cowardly. Despite her friends' reassurances and praise for her exceptional nature, Mina noticed Eijiro's inner turmoil and lightened the mood by playfully teasing him. She genuinely cared for his well-being and urged him not to be too hard on himself, encouraging him to grow as a person.

During their first year, Mina was surprised by Eijiro's drastic change in appearance. Inspired by his idol, Crimson Riot, he dyed his hair red and spiked it up as a symbol of his determination to become a hero without regrets. Mina playfully commented on his new "horns," acknowledging his transformation and solidifying Eijiro's commitment to his dream. She admired his resolve and determination.

Throughout their time at U.A., Mina and Eijiro continued to support each other. Mina recognized Eijiro's growth and effort, admiring his Unbreakable form during training and finding inspiration for her own super move, Acid Man. Although Eijiro may not have fully acknowledged her admiration, Mina was proud of his progress and happy for him.

Their bond grew even stronger during crucial events. When Mina faced danger from Gigantomachia's attack, Eijiro rushed to save her, displaying his chivalrous spirit and unwavering commitment to protecting his friends. Mina, too, felt concern for Eijiro during his own challenges. Their shared experiences, both on and off the battlefield, deepened their connection.

During their second year, Eijiro finally found the courage to confess his feelings to Mina. Inspired by her bravery and care, he realized that his affection for her had remained strong since their middle school days. With his determination to impress her and the personal growth he had achieved, Eijiro mustered the courage to lay his feelings bare.

Mina was moved by Eijiro's sincerity and the journey he had undertaken. She recognized the depth of his emotions and the effort he had put into becoming the person he aspired to be. Accepting his confession, Mina embraced their budding romance. Their relationship was grounded in mutual admiration, support, and the shared experiences they had endured together, allowing it to flourish.

As Mina and Eijiro continued their studies at U.A., they found comfort and strength in each other. Mina's desire to experience love had finally been fulfilled, and she reveled in the genuine care and admiration they shared. While she had always played the role of Class 3-A's unofficial matchmaker, finding potential connections among her friends, it was her own love story that ultimately captured her heart.

Despite her friendly and cheerful demeanor, Mina is not one to shy away from physical confrontations. She possesses remarkable strength and is known as the physically strongest girl in Class 3-A. Her power comes naturally, inherited from her mother's own strength. Additionally, Mina's fast reflexes are honed through her dedication to breakdancing, which has sharpened her agility and quick response times.

Mina's ability to maintain strong friendships and navigate relationships with honesty and transparency is a testament to her genuine and caring nature. She cherishes her family and supports her siblings' aspirations, finding inspiration and strength in their collective bond.
