**Izuku Midoriya**, also known as **Dekiriel** (often abbreviated to **Deku**), is a former first sphere Angel, pupil to All Might, and the main protagonist of the story. Taking All Might's advice in order to ascend, he partners up with Katsuki Bakugou.

## Synopsis

### Background

Deku was born as Izuku Midoriya; nothing else is known about his life as a human. He worked as a Level 3 Angel in the First Sphere until his defection.

## Personality

Midoriya is seen as a hardworking, curious, and intelligent angel who strives to learn more about the world around him. At the start of his story, he was quite defensive about Heaven and was quick to be paranoid about Katsuki's perception of the world he lived in. His ambitions to ascend in Angel rankings stems from his desire to help and protect people.

## Appearance

Izuku has green eyes and hair. As an Angel, he has wings with white feathers, and as a Demon he has wings with black feathers. In his demon form, he also has antlers, sharp nails, and a tail, and his eyes glow faintly in the dark.

## Relationships

**All Might** is Midoriya's mentor in Heaven. All Might sometimes gives him hints and secrets about Heaven and Hell for Izuku to figure out. The most significant of these hints came in the form of a journal of collected diary entries and articles that revealed the darker secrets of Heaven's history.

**Bakugou Katsuki** is Midoriya's working partner on Earth and, later, his lover. Izuku first partners with him as an experiment in practicing resisting temptation from a Demon. Slowly, Izuku learns about the structure of Hell through Katsuki and all the ways Heaven is not perfect. Katsuki consistently makes sexual comments and teases Izuku, but they are also shown to have a flirtatious relationship with lighthearted banter and compatible personalities. Katsuki is the one who teaches Izuku how to defend himself and eventually how to manipulate his soul to learn Demon powers. They go from enemies on opposite sides of a war to lovers fighting for the same cause.

**Todoroki Shouto** is a friend of Midoriya's from heaven. He was a second-tier angel before he Fell. After he ran into the demon Inasa a few times, Todoroki was able to recall his human life and the fact that he knew Inasa from his life before he was an Angel. The weight of the knowledge he remembered and the corrupt system in Heaven was too much for him, and he Fell from Heaven in front of Izuku, which distressed Izuku greatly. They later found each other again in Hell after Izuku defected from Heaven, Todoroki as a newly awakened Wrath/Sloth Demon.

**Shinsou Hitoshi** is a friend of Midoriya and worries about him. He attempts to fight Katsuki and gets his ass beat. He had good intentions, but his purpose in the story is to demonstrate the effect that Heaven's ideology had on its Angels.

**Uraraka Ochako** and **Iida Tenya** were Izuku's Angel classmates. They also aspired to ascend to higher tiers. They were concerned about Izuku's contact with Katsuki.
