Shuna Akuma

**Shuna Akuma** (*Akuma Shuma*), also known as the **Apex Hero: Castella** (アペックスヒーロー：カステラ), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Appearance

Shuna is a petite girl with a height of 155 centimetres, looking more refined and beautiful compared to her former cute self. She has two horns protruding out of the top of her head seemingly to look narrower and white. She has long, wavy, light peach hair, coupled with large crimson eyes under very light, barely existing eyebrows which are seemingly blocked by her bangs. She also has a thin, low-ponytail that was tied using a single small white ribbon.

   In her beast form her hair turns purple which is said by her it's like her personality was shifting into a darker form as the more of her Quirk she uses the more purple it gets but also tints of green appear on her body. Her semi-Beast form or "Hybrid Beast" as she calls it makes it appear as if she has black like demon skin with sharp purple nails both on her hands and feet, he hair turns into a darker tint of purple while more black fur appears with green tips.

In her "True Beast" form Shuna completely changes as she transforms into what resembles a serpent with a bone like exoskeleton growing out of her back as she grows larger said to be around 16 feet. She grows a second pair of eyes above her own deepening with that crimson color. Her horns grow larger and even bend with large and sharp teeth.

## Personality

Shuna is a gentle and forgiving girl with keen senses. Being raised in a coveted family home she also has a refined and graceful personality. She is at that age where she is happy to be depended on, hence since she was always sheltered as a little girl at home. Which views why even a bit of responsibility seems to make her happy.

Even so, she is not one to be underestimated just based on her looks because behind that kind face holds a powerful fire that sets her apart from anyone. Shuna is aggressive when it comes protecting the ones she guards and can't get even blood-thirsty in cases of harm coming near the things she has to protect. This stems from her sense of duty as she believes that people should be safe and coveted and that serenity can prevail through all quarrels but at the same times understand the need for harm, which sometimes pains her whenever she's put into conflict.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Shuna has major potential in both her Quirk and as a hero as she's shown that her powers have gone past the limits of what most pros can do as her manifestation of her beast like form can do so much in terms of power.

**Immense Strength**: In Shuna's "Hybrid Beast" form she's shown to have incredible strength as she has been shown to punch right through layers of steel and even concrete walls without much trouble. In Shuna's "True Beast" form her strength triples than it was in her hybrid form being able to destroy skyscrapers with just whack with the use of her tail though her limits for this form can cause havoc, but also limits her usage due to her large size in this form she cannot use her arms nor legs.

**Immense Durability**: Shuna in her Beast forms have been shown that she can withstand heavy loads of damage even if it puts a physical strain on her as she's been able to block and even live through blasts of explosions and even block bullets though she says its due to her Beast form's thick skin.

**Heightened Senses**: Shuna has incredible senses due to her transformations having expanded her 5 senses saying that warm tea would be boiling to her when she's transformed but along tat her eyes can be used to scopr out and when she's in her "True Beast" form she grows a second pair of eyes that help view her surroundings better though sight isn't what else improves but her sense of smell, hearing, and even touch though she says that's due to her horns feeling the vibrations through the area.

### Quirk

**Bestial**: Shuna's Quirk allows her to transform into a beast like monster which appears like a serpent. The main points of her Quirk allows her to attain superhuman strength and durability, powerful jaws and claws, and spike like bones used for protection. Though despite this appearance it can be hard to control as Shuna puts it in this form her mind gets more clouded and almost as if someone were taking over her bod which is why she refrains from using her Quirk entirely since she fears she could reek havoc and prefers to use parts of her power to help others. And despite her resemblance to Ancient Chinese Dragons, she cannot fly in fact her large size makes it more difficult for her to move.

### Super Moves

**Hybrid Beast** (ハイブリッドビースト): Shuna says she uses about 40% of her max capacity to envelop her body into this form appearing to have major changes in her body like her hair color and the fact that her skin turns into a fur like texture which have mossy green tips at the end at the tip. Using this form allows her to have more control over her form but to also seem less frightening to people but despite that this form still give people quite the scare. In this form she acquires immense durability, strength, and heightened senses. Though speed seems to be what she lacks in sense of movement but has very quirk reflexes.

**True Beast** (真の獣): When Shuna releases all of her Quirk she grows into a giant beast with a serpent like body, growing to heights up to 16 feet. In thsi form her strength is said to be tripled as does her durability and senses but deeply affects her overall speed and disables the usage of her hand making her rely more on her tail, body, and mouth which is quite difficult but another problem occurs since she can lose control in that form.
