» POSITIVE TRAITS:
No matter what Shura says, it always seemed to be overcast by a bright, beaming smile. Whether it'd be from a child-like notion that if they smiled more maybe they'll be more positive or just because they think saying their usual dialogue would be better received with a bright smile, it seems to become a staple in their dialogue.
Shura is in a constant state of pessimism. It's almost amazing how they can find the negative in any situation. It isn't as though they are trying to put the mood of the room down, but there is nothing that can make them think any differently. This causes her to be a bit hard to talk to if you're not expecting it. From telling you about the possible impeding doom, to freaking out about something trivial. If you didn't think there was a bad side, Shura will find it and report it back to you with a beaming smile.
Despite their negative nature, Shura is very loyal to the people around them. If you have helped them before, Shura will make absolute sure that they return the favor no matter what. They are absolutely honor bound in everything they do in the sheer need to make things right between themselves and someone else. When they feel they are incapable of repaying a debt, they tend to get very self-depreciating and pessimistic about it. Because of this, they are often seen as troublesome to deal with.
Once Shura decides something, that thing will get done eventually. Through the same sense of duty that carried them through their loyalty clause, they will always try and reach their goals no matter how low or high they are set. From simple "I'm going to run a lap today" to "I'm most definitely going to become a hero" they are sure they will make it through to that point somehow. When things fall through, they take it very hard, often beating themselves over things that might as well have been out of their control.
Due to the nature of their quirk, Shura has trouble seeping. And when they do get to sleep, the glow of their hair generally makes it hard to get a good night's rest. Because of this, they always seem sluggish and exhausted, almost as though they are in a constant state of sleepiness. Since it's so hard for them to sleep on a regular basis, they try to sprinkle quick naps throughout the day. However, it only ends in them actually sleeping half the time and the other half is spent resting their eyes.
There is nothing Shura loves more than sweaters. Thus, there is nothing more fitting to them then Sweater Weather. Fall and Winter months are some of their favorites, often being used as times to show off their wide sweater collection. From cute, childish hoodies to skater style black sweaters- Shura loves them all and relishes in all of the wonderful options. If it gets extra chilly, they also like to sport an array of hats to try and cover up their sparkly hair. During the snowy season, you can often see them curled up in many layers of warmth.
Shura is an avid artist, often filling up sketchbook after sketchbook with whatever comes to mind. It isn't as though he is all that good at art, she just enjoys being able to put something on paper. When they aren't training, trying to sleep, or in class, they are seen doodling in their sketchbook. Probably something nonsensical like a Dog running a hot dog stand or a dragon with needles for teeth. They are very protective of the pages however and have only shown the sketches to the people they really trust.

Shura hair are in a constant state of glittering rainbows that naturally cut down by their chin. Their eyes are like frosted glass, with dark circles painted underneath them from the lack of sleep. They are extremely thin for their body weight, almost as though they are just shy of becoming a skeleton. Despite this however, a calm, bright smile seems to still be plastered on to their face.
During their off time, Shura wears almost exclusively different types of sweaters. From cute to punk to skater to anime, they have them all and then some. There is nothing that Shura doesn't own or wear in terms of sweaters. Though, they often rest oversized and baggy on them due to their small size.
Shura doesn't remember a lot about their life. The things they do remember tends to be fuzzy and hard to make out for them. But, Shura does know that they were scared. Ever since they were little, they were being used as a counterfeit diamond trap- people cutting off parts of their hair and selling them as actual radiant diamonds. They weren't treated well, but they know they weren't treated badly either. If it was just the hair they wanted, Shura didn't actually mind giving it to them.
Of course, that all changed when group keeping them changed hands to a new owner.
After that, Shura's life became more difficult, food becoming less, more hair needing to be cut off. Slowly, the stress piled up on them which caused them to slowly start to break of pieces of their hair. Over and over, crushing them like glass between their fingers until they started to take shape and turn into strange creatures. A few days later, heroes were called to the scene to take care of a strange attack against a factory for the company Support Central. Glass-like monsters were taking over the place, destroying the property.
Quickly, Rising Sun came onto the field, having been on a business trip in Russia. It was there that Shura was finally found and the counterfeit diamond scam was discovered.
Being the altruistic person she was, Rising Sun- better known as Haru Aki, decided to take in Shura, changing her last name to "Kiyabu" when they moved to Japan. From then on, Shura decided to try and make it up to the hero by becoming one himself. Through Haru's connections, they managed to get him enrolled into the General Ed Program at UA- Haru's reasoning being that Shura's quirk was too harmful to themself and they should take it easy instead.
Despite their mentor's wishes however, Shura decided that they would become a hero! No matter what ladder they'd need to climb to get there!
QUIRK NAME: Drop Of Sunlight
QUIRK TYPE: Emitter/Mutation
QUIRK RANK: Novice
QUIRK TIER: Bronze
DESCRIPTION: This quirk manifests in the user with two part; the ability to make their hair glow and the ability to create little glowing creatures that they have dubbed "Demi-Gems".
When feeling happy or optimistic, the user's hair will glow the colors of the rainbow. How bright it can glow is dependent how optimistic they are feeling. From the max amount of happy making them glow about as bright as an LED to the lowest amount of optimism making them glow about the same frequency of a dim light source. At this stage of development, this portion of their quirk is almost completely useless except for ruining horror movie moments and keeping them up at night.
On the flip side however, when the user breaks off pieces of their hair and infuse them with their blood, they are able to create small gem-like, glowing creatures that they call "Demi-Gems." The power and abilities of the Demi-Gems is entirely dependent on the "Cut" however. At the moment, there are 3 cuts that Shura is able to produce.
Round Cut: An all-rounder in terms of speed, durability, and strength. They aren't bad at particularly anything, but they aren't good at any specific thing either. They hit about as hard as a medium shove and move about the pace of an average running. They can take up to a heavy punch worth of damage before starting to crack. If there is any overall battles they don't know how to deal with yet, Round Cut is usually the way to go. Shura can summon up to 3 of them per thread.
Cushion Cut: The tanks of the cuts they can make, Cushion Cuts specialize in durability. Using their wide bodies, they are amazing at soaking up damage, but suffer in strength and speed. They hit about as hard as a soft shove and move at the pace of a non-athletic NEET who just left the house for the first time in months trying to jog. Despite this, they can take up to a car crash's worth of damage before cracking. When they need a quick way to block, Cushion Cut is the way to go. Shura can summon up to 2 of them per thread.
Marquise Cut: When in doubt, the natural off-switch is here to save the day. Thanks to their more pointed and aerodynamic shape (At least compared to the other) Marquise Cuts are fast and hit harder than any other cut. Although their durability drops out at a small shove, they hit about as hard as a heavy punch and can run at the speed of an Olympic Sprinter. When there are no other options and all logic is thrown out the window, the Masquise Cut is the off-switch you need to eject yourself from the situation. Shura can summon 1 of them per thread.
DRAWBACKS: Due to the sharp nature of their hair, the more they break off, the more cuts they create on their hands. Because of this, the amount of Demi-Gems they can create at a given time is directly linked to how much blood they can lose before passing out.
1-2 Demi-Gems: It's easier to maintain. They might start feeling dizzy after 3 posts, but it's nothing they can't ignore. After 3 posts are up, the Demi-Gems will break and they have to wait 2 posts until they can summon another 1-2. However, those will only be active for 2 posts until they finally pass out from the blood loss.
3-4 Demi-Gems: This is pushing it. As soon as they summon the 3-4, they'll be overcome with an unbearable dizziness that they can't ignore. It'll cause them to stumble and have trouble with depth perception as well as start to make their world spin. After 2 posts, the Demi-Gems will break and they have to wait 2 posts until they can summon 1-2 more instead. However, those will only be active for 1 post until they finally pass out from blood loss.
5-6 Demi-Gems: This is a pure panicked, last resort attack. Immediately after summoning 5-6 Demi-Gems at once, they will start to rapidly lose blood and feel the symptoms of such. (Headaches, Fatigue, Nausea, Profuse Sweating, Dizziness, Cold or Clammy Skin, Rapid Shallow Breaths, Rapid Heart Rate, Confusion, Weakness, Weak Pulse, Light Headedness, ETC) After 1 post of activity, the Demi-Gems will break and Shura will lose immediate consciousness for the rest of the thread unless treated.
The Demi-Gems are in no way, shape, or form, intelligent or alive. Therefore, they rely heavily on Shura's thoughts and feelings to move. While they can give general commands like "Attack" or "Defend", for higher intelligent plays, Shura has to be controlling them at will instead. Shura can directly control one Demi-Gem at a time and to switch their control onto another Demi-Gem, they have to use 1 post to make the switch.
