Name: Ieva Koizumi.
Age: 16 - Sixteen.
Gender: ♀ - Female.

Appearance:
Ieva stands at a sturdy 5 feet and 4 inches with a sturdy build and a half-oriental complexion, reflecting her mixed Japanese-European heritage. Her dark brown hair - which is often left styled by her pillow - often falls in the way of her pale blue eyes, which often hang bags underneath them. Veins press through her skin across her body, accompanied by an extensive range of tattoos and an ever-changing collection of scrapes and bruises. The faint smell of cigarettes often lingers on her clothing, mixed with her deodorant "of choice" (the one on sale) for the month.

If there ever was a victim of "resting bitch face", it's Ieva. Her outward demeanor is often described as cold and mean: complete with head cocks, disdainful glares, and thuggish expressions. In contrast of this, she often makes an effort to seem friendly and approachable, which often either falls flat and seems forced or makes her seem colder; the best example of this would be when she attempted to copy All Might with the 'saving with a smile' approach, where her smile only made her look scarier.

Quirk:
Ieva's quirk, aptly named "Black", is an emitter-type quirk that allows Ieva to freely merge her body with anything colored black: ranging completely from the more conventional black paint to more obscure blacks such as darkness and shadows. She is able to take people or objects with her with extra effort, the effort required corresponding with size and how much they move around while being transported. At her current skill level, she can briefly move an average sized man through her quirk - long enough to, for example, pull someone out of collapsing rubble.

Ieva is particularly vulnerable to foes and enviroments that produce lots of light, whether intentionally or as a byproduct - such as light produced by fire. Foes that can alter their environment, whether through quirk or through damage, also are particularly dangerous to her, making it more difficult for her to navigate and essentially negating her mobility.

Questions:

---

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
"I understand that if you are asking this question, then we both understand the reputation Kokoro Academy has. As I am sure you understand, I am not a good person: tardy and absent in my classes, an extensive criminal record for a 16 year old, and my regrettable time as what many would consider a villain. I will not be considered for most of the countries hero courses for these reasons, which puts me here, writing to you. Please forgive me for being forward. I hope we always be honest with one another in future, even if it may be unpleasant."

• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
"I want to turn my life around. I've done terrible things in my life and I want to make it up to the world before my time in this world is over. There are many ways I can do this, but heroes and villains are two sides of the same coin. It's all I know, the only real skill I have, and the best way for me to make up for what I once did."

• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
"I'm sorry, but I don't know how to answer this question. I want people to live comfortable and happy lives so I want to do what needs to be done to make that happen. I have no specific kind or type of hero that I aspire to become, or at least not yet."

• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
"Please don't make me admit this in front of my potential classmates, but I am flawed, but I think that is what makes me a great hero student. I have a short temper, I can be impulsive, I lack discipline, and I don't like to deal with difficult things. I know that I am not a good person and that I have a long way to go before I can become a professional hero, but I do know about how villains and crime works because I have been there. What I do have is a genuine desire to grow and learn, to change and become someone that can inspire others. I hope that I can trust your academy with my humility and help me become somebody you can be proud to call one of your old students."

• What are you interests and hobbies?
"I'm interested in motorcycles and spend a lot of my time maintaining my motorcycle and exploring rural areas with it. I enjoy playing mahjong and video games but don't spend much time doing it as it feels like wasted time. I've had a long time interest in cooking that I've recently turned into a hobby and have started to dabble in painting after being inspired by my quirk."

• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
"Nothing specifically. The most notable accomplishment would be sending this application to you after everything before this."

• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
"I can take people and objects with me when I use black. I've used it to help people escape from dead ends and to put people in traps before. When I was in juvenile prison, they put me in a cell with bright lights on around the clock and an airlock door. It made me feel really claustrophobic. I think that I'm so used to being able to escape from most places with my quirk that when I was completely trapped, it made me scared. Please don't make me admit that to my potential classmates either."

• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
"I think my best answer would be what I've already written in the five sentences about myself. I am a humble blank slate who knows about the enemy of heroes and society. Please, I beg of you, help me become somebody you can be proud of one day."

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  
  "Not many schools will accept a deaf hero hopeful. I also don't have parental consent. Kokoro Academy is giving me a chance no other school will."
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  
  "Heroes are so fixated on 'villains'. I want to be there for the ones whose oppressors are overlooked. Victims of...domestic violence. I want to believe that my life has meaning, has a purpose. That my suffering was worth something."
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  
  "I want to be a hero who promotes social awareness. Who empowers people to save themselves from their own situations."
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  
  "People have described me as severe and judgmental. Some say that I tend to be condescending, but that's only because a lot of people are just wasting my time. I am a bit of a perfectionist and I place high value on individual effort and independence. I don't believe that systems, environments, institutions, or fate can truly stop a motivated individual and I won't accept that excuse from anyone. I am driven when it comes to my goals and will do whatever it takes to achieve them, but I play by the books and will not resort to cheap tactics."
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  
  "I live alone, so I'm pretty busy between school and my part-time job. I know sign language and I'm fairly decent at reading lips. I'm also highly organized and take great notes, and because of work, I also have basic money-keeping and managerial skills... I guess those aren't really hobbies. I am good at track and field activities, though. I can also play 'Red River Valley' on the harmonica. I can't hear it, but I know it by heart. I wear one as a necklace. It's a gift from my father, a memento of a time...before he started taking his frustrations out on me. Let's talk about something else."

• Are there any notable accomplishments you want us to be aware of?
  
  "None worth mentioning, I'm trash...sorry..."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  
  "I was raised by a typical deadbeat father; my mother had left before I could remember. I actually have the same quirk as my father, and his words to me were always, 'You can't outrun me'. An abusive drunk, he made my life a stoic hell. At school I struggled to hide the details of my home environment out of shame, while simultaneously trying my hardest to secure good grades. At home I did chores and tried to placate my father's sporadic wrath. All attempts to escape failed. Except for the last time. I discovered a previously unknown aspect of my quirk, something my deadbeat father never figured out for himself. I called it, 'Thunder Road'. In my final attempt to escape him, in a shining moment of pure freedom, I overused Thunder Road, an effort which has rendered me deaf."
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  
  "I am determined! I will work harder than anyone! My quirk might be weird, but with the right equipment, I think I can really put it to good use."

Theme:

Name and Surname: Shiori Sanyu

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Appearance:

Height: 5'6" Weight: 125lbs
Sanyu has a wavy, up-to-shoulders hair that is pinned up on a messy bun on the top of her head. Her body language is daring and she has a high yet coarse voice. She has an angular jaw and just a few small freckles dotted over her face. On the left side of Sanyu’s face she has a jagged, light scar she got from falling from a tree as a child. She tells everyone she got it from fighting a villain, though.
She keeps water on her at all times.

Quirk Name: Molecular Overdrive

Quirk Ability & drawbacks: Can rapidly increase an object’s molecules’ vibration, heating any surface or even air around her to burning temperatures. The heat gets stronger the closer you are to her. The more conductive to heat the matter is, the more effective the quirk is, and vice versa.
If trained, the quirk has the capacity to melt or burn pretty almost any surface, with serious damage on the user.

The drawback is that a using the quirk makes the user severely dehydrated due to sweating, increasingly fast the hotter it is. If Sanyu continues beyond dehydration, she gets complications such as fever and loss of consciousness. She can also get severe burns on her skin.

Sanyu cannot control the direction of her quirk.

She uses her quirk mostly to heat up tea or meals at the moment. Sometimes she likes to mess with her friends by heating up the floor they stand on just enough for it to be too uncomfortable to stand on, screaming "floor is lava".

Characteristics:

Sanyu loves diving headfirst into action, so she acts accordingly. Charismatic and waaay over-confident, Sanyu is the kind of person who can become a bully if you don’t know her well. She loves showing off with her quirk, even though in reality she isn’t the speediest or the most intelligent of the bunch, and doesn’t control it that well. She acts big and like her quirk, she is hot-headed. Sanyu has a lot of energy and she loves being social, if not a little provoking.
Sanyu is very competitive, but she hates cheaters and liars. She can’t stand being left out or not being able to do anything. She is driven by her want to get stronger, but she often forgets her own limits and ends up in bedrest because of that. Sanyu is also known to be the one to blow things out of proportions for a good story. She really almost believes her own stories, too. You want her to be your friend rather than your foe, that’s for sure.
She already has a hero name thought out, too: Fusion Flare. She’s flashy, for sure.

History:

Sanyu’s parents’ quirks are what combined into her quirk. Her mother had the quirk to manipulate temperatures around her, whereas her father had the quirk of weakly molding simple molecular structures around him. Neither of them were heroes, but they had Sanyu to fill that role in their family, putting all the pressure on her. They convinced Sanyu that her quirk was super powerful, more powerful than it truly is, which made her as cocky as she is today. Sanyu's parents really weren't that great, either. Sanyu's whole life growing up was of them coaching her to become a hero to make their family famous. Their family was poor, however, and didn’t really have the resources to send Sanyu to a good hero school.

Questions:

• Given its reputation, why apply to Kokoro Academy?
  “No hero academy wants a girl who hurts herself every time she uses her quirk. This wasn't my first choice, but it ended up being the best one in terms of location and what my goals are. Kokoro Academy seemed like the perfect place for me. Besides, who doesn't root for an underdog academy? I totally want to study here, it just proves how it doesn't matter where you come from, you can still be a hero.”
• Why do you want to be a professional hero?
  “‘Cus I’m the best, obviously. Well. My parent’s really want me to become a hero. It’s my duty to become a hero. That's what they want, and that's what my destiny is, too. I will become a hero to bring honor to my family and to show everyone it's not about your background, it's about the power you have.”
• What kind of professional hero do you want to become?
  “The kind that kicks ass and gets fame and recognition. And of course, I want to help people. My icon is Endeavor, he seems so cool and powerful. He could use a smile, though. Like All Might!”
• Best describe yourself in five sentences.
  “Bold. The best. Fair. Funny. Resilient... Wait, did you say sentences? Well... I'm pretty confident. I can't stand people who cheat, and I have a super great sense of humour. I strive to make my quirk stronger every day, too. My quirk gives me the ability to heat things up. There are no fire included, but the nature of my quirk makes it much more flexible to use than mere flames.”
• What are you interests and hobbies?
  “I like to play ‘floor is lava’ with my friends. My quirk is perfect for that and other everyday stuff. I also like to bake on my free time. I’m quite good at it, if I say so myself. I like all sorts of competitions and training. I play games a lot to get into the mood.
• Are there any notable accomplishments you want to us to be aware of?
  “Yes! I fought this villain when I was little and got this cool scar from it. I won, obviously.” (She’s lying; got the scar after falling from a tree. Never fought a villain.) "I've won many playground fights, too. My quirk is perfect for taking on multiple opponents at once."
• Tell us something about your quirk that most might not know? Any events or memories, be it joyous or ill, tied to it?
  “I love heating up my green tea with my quirk. It’s so handy, and also my tea never gets cold. And I guess there was that one time when I got really mad and accidentally melted the floor I was standing on. I passed out after, so I don’t remember much of it. You might not know that I can melt stuff with my touch. It's something that I need to focus on really hard to do, but if I get the right training, it can be a real good move. At the moment the area of my quirk is relatively small, but if I get really worked up, I can extend it to mid-range lengths. It can be used both offensively and defensively, and it can be used in super creative ways.”
• Why should we consider you over the other applicants? What can you offer that they cannot?
  “Because I’m the best, that’s why. I clearly have the superior quirk and I could totally apply to any academy I wanted to and get in just like that. So I’m the perfect choice for you. I'm bold, determined and never give up. I will bring good publicity to your school by becoming a professional hero who studied here.”
