**Tsuya Akari** (金 (色) の (鎧) を (着) た (少女) , *Akari Tsuya*?), also known as the **Shining Hero: Goldie** (輝くヒーロー：ゴールディ, *Kagayaku Hīrō: Gōrudi*?), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

## Abilities

**Overall Abilities**: Tsuya has proven to be a highly capable individual. Using the frog-based abilities granted by her Quirk, Tsuya excels in both close-range and long-range combat. She employs a fighting style that involves a great amount of agility and powerful leaps to evade, surprise, and confuse her opponents, as well as using her increased leg strength to deliver powerful kicks. Tsuya can also use her elongated tongue in a grappling or whip-like fashion. Tsuya also possesses great camaraderie, effectively combining her own Quirk abilities with that of anyone with whom she is paired. Tsuya is a very outstanding student with little to no weaknesses and can provide support to anyone, even someone as powerful as Fuyuko Tsukiyama, one of the strongest students in Class 1-A. Her overall abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class.

Tsuya's abilities garnered the attention of Nejire Hado, the third strongest student of U.A. High School's Fanatic 4, who recommended both Tsuya and Mizuki to intern alongside her under the tutelage of Barrage, the No. 2 (formerly No. 3) Pro Hero. At the beginning the Carbon Hunt, the Carbon Squad acted as the first line of defense against Rango and were able to successfully subdue him. During the first round of the Joint Training Battle, Tsuya demonstrated the mettle to take on Kong Shishido, one of the strongest students in Class 1-B, but she couldn’t keep up with the latter's enhanced prowess. Afterwards, Tsuya used her incredible leg strength to break through the icicle armor of Mizuno Yuki, send him flying into Juro (who was being subdued by Hashido Shigaraki), and secure victory for her team.

* **Enhanced Stamina**: Through intense training, Tsuya obtained an impressive amount of stamina. After having her stamina siphoned by Trigger, Tsuya was still able to hold her own against the Yakuza member for 20 minutes until Trigger's quirk wore off, allowing the Class 1-A to defeat him once and for all.

**Keen Intellect**: Tsuya has proven to be very intelligent, scoring 6th place in the mid-terms, showcasing her proficiency in academics. She is also very analytical, as seen in the U.S.J. Incident, wherein she not only deduced the Quirk similarities between Genki Itzuko and Izuku Midoriya, but also surmised the League of Villains may have an effective way to carry out their plan to kill All Might. Her speculation was later confirmed, in the form of a Nomu. With her level-headedness and analytical skills, Tsuya successfully helped Genki and Yoshiro escape from the water villains that surrounded the trinity in the Flood Zone. For the First Term Final Exam, Tsuya and Fuyuko were about to fail against Marvelous, but Tsuya, avoiding his attention, had Fuyuko use Dark Venom to close the gap between him and the enslaving hero, in order to discreetly handcuff the latter, enabling the students to pass. During the Joint Training, she took advantage of Kong's enhanced sense of smell by coating her remaining teammates, Karada and Takoda, in her phlegm so that their scents still be the same as her's, making the trio indiscernible to Kong.

### Quirk

**Golden Body**: Tsuya Akari allows her to boil up her blood so she can turn her body into solid gold.

This power grants Tsuya both augmented defensive abilities to withstand attacks, as well as the augmented strength of her unarmed physical attacks.

Upon losing a spar fight against Tatsumaki, she says that she can look and feel human, but her muscles and organs are a mixture of carbon fiber and her blood cells have gold mixed in it. If she uses his Quirk for too long, Tsuya will suffer from fibrin clot, resulting in her golden form losing its durability. And while her gold body has a resistance to heat, it will melt if the temperatures are high enough. In addition, due to him transforming into metal, Tsuya is vulnerable to magnetism.
