―Izumi Kenzou

**Izumi Kenzou** (賢蔵泉) is a close family friend to both the Midoriya's and Bakugo's, having met and befriended Izuku and Katsuki as children.

## Appearance

Izumi has cerulean eyes and dark cerulean hair worn in loose looped twintails tied by white ribbons. Her fringe is double-parted and a tied strand frames the right side of her face. She has markings resembling deep burns covering the front of her torso, just reaching past her hips, and extending across her shoulders. It radiates outward from a distinct pattern over her heart.

She isn't afraid to let her markings be seen, usually wearing somewhat revealing clothing. She is always seen carrying a broom with a silver cap on the end of the handle.

## Personality

### Etymology

**Izumi** (泉) means "fountain, spring".

**Kenzou** (賢蔵): **Ken** (賢) means "wise", and **Zou** (蔵) means "to hide".

## Characteristics

**Directionality**: Her quirk allows her to change the direction of momentum of anything within 5 feet of her. Even if her target is not moving, she can force momentum onto it in any direction she chooses. There is no limit to what she can target, no matter its mass and including even electric and magnetic fields, and she can direct multiple things at once. She also does not need to see her target to affect it. To use this power demands an understanding of the mathematical principles behind it, as well as immense calculating prowess so as to fully utilize it. Sudden distractions or intense pain can interfere with her ability and keep her from directing anything.

* **Flight**: By focusing on her own body's direction, she is able to simulate flying. She has had over a decade of practice and so is able to seamlessly 'fly', which she uses to disguise the true nature of her quirk. To better facilitate this ruse, she always uses a broom whenever she 'flies.'

**Curse of Pain**: The mark causes her near-constant pain, but enables her to 'steal' the pain from others. This allows her to relieve others' pain at her own expense as doing so causes her own pain to intensify. The more pain she takes on, the further the mark spreads across her body. She theorizes that the pain will eventually become so great that she will become bedridden and potentially even die from the strain.

**Weak Constitution**: She has always had poor health which is not helped by the strain her curse puts on her body. It's difficult for her to do anything which requires physical effort, as she tires very quickly and must rest frequently. She also gets sick rather easily due to her weak immune system.

**Enhanced Reflexes**: Despite her weak body, she has incredibly fast reflexes. This is mostly to the benefit of her quirk as it has a rather small range, necessitating that she have split-second reactions to properly apply it.

**Genius Intellect**: Due to the nature of her quirk, she has developed an incredible intelligence. She is able to fully learn and comprehend difficult concepts without issue, and also has a complete understanding of complex mathematical theories and concepts. This even extends to combat, where she is able to analyze her surroundings, devise a plan, and act on her findings within moments.

## Trivia

* Her markings feel like normal skin, but are sensitive to the touch.
