Chapter Text
To start us off, here is a sketch I did of Koharu’s hero costume a while back! Since it’s kind of old and I’m pretty sure my third ever drawing of her, the hair is definitely not how it’s supposed to look (,,>﹏<,,)
And then, here’s a really goofy drawing I decided to do randomly of one of Koharu’s notebook pages, with a drawing she did of Denki on it lol. (I guess this would be after she realizes her crush) (♡ˊ͈ ꒳ ˋ͈)
Next, more ship art and the second most recent, here’s a drawing of Koharu and Denki! I might include this as a scene in a future chapter idk
And lastly, this most recent drawing is inspired by Horikoshi’s art style because seriously, the modern MHA style is really beautiful and I’m obsessed. (I should really start drawing like this more often) studying Horikoshi’s art really helped improve my shading and rendering I think!! Thank you Horikoshi-sensei!! (ㅅ´ ˘ `)

General Appearance (physical features, style, etc.);
Koharu shares her complexion and eye color with Katsuki. Her eye shape, while not as small and sharp as Katsuki's, does lean more towards the narrow and upturned side. Her eyes have a bright and large look to them. Koharu's hair goes down just past her shoulders, and while it can be very spiky in some parts, it tends to lean more towards the fluffy side. She's recently taken to styling it in braids, but for her hero costume she puts it up into a tight ponytail, and she does also like to leave it loose a lot. Her hair color is a mix of Mitsuki's and Masaru's (literally; I sampled both their hair colors and mixed them together to get Koharu's) resulting in a sort of dark ashy-blond color. As for her clothing style, Koharu mostly wears light and pastel colors; lots of yellows and pinks and whites. While she's not exactly a fashionista, she does care a lot about her appearance most of the time, and puts lots of effort into styling cohesive and cute outfits. She likes more feminine clothes usually, but for her hero costume, she wanted to prioritize movement and rationality, so she ended up going with a slightly more tomboy-ish design. She likes it a lot!
General Personality:
Koharu is generally a pretty happy-go-lucky, agreeable, and energetic person around people she's comfortable with. She likes leaning into the whimsical and goofy, so sometimes people greatly underestimate her ability to take things seriously. She daydreams and “drifts off” a lot, which causes her to be pegged as kind of an airhead, but she doesn't really mind, and actually thinks that Katsuki nicknaming her “airhead” is really cute, so she uses it as her Accord handle. Speaking of cute things, Koharu loves them!! She calls plenty of things cute on a daily basis, and she can always find the “cuteeee!!” in something. Koharu is also a very determined person when it comes to her goals. She has a lot of drive to accomplish them, and very rarely gives up on something she's set her mind to.
Despite all this, Koharu can also be very anxious. Her mind is quick to imagine worst-case scenarios, or take an idea and run with it all the way. Her mood can change very quickly, and largely depends on how those around her are feeling or what's happening in her surroundings. This is all to say, sometimes her imagination is a great thing, and sometimes it bites her in the ass. When something bad is happening, Koharu's brain usually decides to just check out and take her someplace else. She's working on stopping herself from doing that, though--she's going to have to if she wants to be a hero!
Hobbies:
Drawing, running, training with Izuku or Katsuki.
Occupation:
Hero in training/UA student.
Strengths:
As stated earlier, Koharu is very determined! She also has a wild imagination that can come in handy when the odds are against her! She's also very fast and agile from her years in Track & Field, and her quirk makes her a great rescue hero for getting rid of rubble in disaster!
Weaknesses:
Koharu still has a long way to go when it comes to her quirk, and developing her own fighting style. She also is very prone to getting stuck in her own head and freezing up or doing something impulsively. She is very easily distracted, sometimes trusts too easily, and has some…questionable self-preservation/survival instincts, to say the least.
Languages Spoken:
Japanese, mediocre English.
Personality Type:
So for this one, I literally just took the test pretending to be Koharu! Shall we go through her results together?
Koharu is an ENFP!! Here's some things the test described her as:
-Imaginative
-Curious
-Charismatic
-A dreamer
-Someone who has a mission and a desire to make the world a better place.
Here's some statistics, I guess:
Koharu is 63% Extraverted and 63% Intuitive. She is 80% Feeling, 92% Prospecting, and 76% Turbulent (whatever tf that means).
Residence:
Musutafu, Japan.
Speech Patterns:
Koharu has a fairly light voice, but she also likes to talk with funny voices sometimes. Sometimes she will randomly start talking in old-timey “Samurai” speak, for seemingly no reason other than she's feeling goofy. She also tends to draw out her words a lot.
Most Used Phrases/Words:
“Suki!”
“Cuteeee!”
“Comrade!”
Phobias:
Koharu has basophobia (the fear of falling) and mild acrophobia (the fear of heights) as well as claustrophobia (the fear of tight enclosed spaces).
Habits:
Koharu has a nervous habit of playing with her bangs, or pulling on her hair. She also tends to fidget with just about anything she can, from her clothes, to her school supplies, to her best friend's hand. It hasn't come up, but I imagine she might also have the bad habit of picking at her acne.
Sense of humor:
Deadpan jokes, pranks, just straight-up goofiness.
Pet Peeves:
Strangers bumping into her/making unnecessary physical contact of any kind.
Handshake:
Quick and light with people she doesn't know, long and animated with her close friends.
Lucky Number:
8
Most Treasured Possession:
A pale yellow cardigan, bought for her by Katsuki.
Favorite food(s):
Tamagoyaki, chocolate, and pretty much anything made by Katsuki.
Emergency Contact list:
1, Katsuki
2, mom or dad
3, Izuku
(for hero emergencies: Yagi-san/All Might)
Side, stomach, or back sleeper?:
This is the most important piece of information of all. She is…*drumroll please*...a side sleeper lol. Specifically, she sleeps in a tiny curled-up ball on her left side. Although she’d probably toss and turn so much in her sleep that by the end, she’s all sprawled out with blankets tossed this way and that, lol. Don't ask why I put so much detail into this (my brain decided it was very important)
Here's some questions my wonderful bestie asked me about her:
Q: What is her favorite pizza topping?
A: Honestly I think she'd just like pepperoni a lot.
Q: What color would she dye her hair?
A: Yellow, probably not her whole head, maybe just some highlights or an ombre kinda thing.
Q: What is her preferred weapon?
A: As of right now in the story, it's her quirk or her fists. She does have a slingshot in her hero costume that she might use sometime soon, but I also have plans to have her up her weapon game after the internships. Without any spoilers, I'll tell you that the person she interns with helps her develop a new fighting style and she decides to improve her hero costume gear a bit to match.
Okay, that’s it. Thanks for being here, and sorry again if this was kind of lameeee…ദ്ദി (ᵒ̴̶̷᷄﹏ᵒ̴̶̷᷅)
