Age
14
Origin
Kyoto, Japan
Physical Description
Mizuki takes an average height for her age of 5'3", showing a lack of distinction in that respect. Her glassy eyes are a seemingly unnatural salmon which help shape her perfectly round face along with her pointed nose and a lipless mouth identified as an open stitch. Mizuki's bob-cut hair is a dirty yellow, coloured the same as the straw found within her body, often found beneath her sun hat when she permits herself to wear when dressing casually. Alongside this, she prefers dungarees and flannel shirts - doting of her time spent working on the farm.
In spite of years of hard labour, Mizuki's frame doesn't really represent it, being fairly slim yet with a ragged dirtiness about her, however let it be known that her vitality has grown immensely from her work. Additionally on her body are numerous stitches where her limbs are most easiest to tear off; Mizuki's skin is less so skin and more akin to a burlap material, being almost baggy and much less strong because of this. Her hands and feet are also more rough to touch than the rest of her, in spite of not being able to have callouses.

Personal History
Mizuki is the child of Ishida Hiroji and Emi, both once earnest farmers who shaped their daughter to become the hard worker she is today through putting her to work on the fields with them from a young age. Understanding that in spite of working being an immense chore for her, it benefitted her family being able to help secure a profit, especially given how small of a supplier they were. Of course, this did not take away from her education, which Mizuki took in her stride as becoming distracted by friends was difficult given how they were hard to make due to people finding her straw composition kind of strange despite some of the weird quirks many pro heroes have.
At the age of twelve, due to Mizuki's family's income being pushed down by monopsony power becoming a larger issue, and the birth of her baby brother, Yuuto, the family sold the farm and moved into the city in hopes of seeking greater fortune. It was at this point that Mizuki became more involved with the idea of becoming a hero, with the presence of pro heroes being much more common now that she lived closer to where all the action happens. With her family still putting immense pressure on her to work, she believed she could be something more than just something to help sustain her family's needs and that becoming a hero fulfilled a duty within society that could be what she needed.
As a result, Mizuki decided to enroll at Ishin Academy, knowing that she needed to vastly expand on her knowledge of heroism in preparation for this undertaking. Obviously with the school being well known for its strict tendencies, she took every moment of her free time studying for the opportunity to be accepted, embracing the idea of a stern education to help bring out her best potential.

Character Development & Conceptualization
Mizuki is a character born from the idea of a more realistic individualism, that is to say she is not cold or demeaning towards others, in fact she is generally kind with people she barely knows, yet it has always been better for her to work alone. As a result, interference can be a bit of an annoyance to her, however she would never blow her top because of it. Throughout her journey, she will open up more to others and become more cooperative through understanding that teamwork is an integral part of being a hero, relying less on her own ideas which may be wrong and be more accepting of others opinions on what may be right.
Another shortcoming of Mizuki is that initially her motivation for becoming a hero will primarily be the partially-selfish reasoning of wanting to escape her family forcing her to already be limited in life; to jobs which don't bring her happiness and only help her along a path of menial labour. Due to having spent most of her life without the massive influence of pro heroes from the media, she had not really considered the emotional effect they have and how they bring hope to many people, instead simply understanding that they seem to be free and a force of good. During her development, Mizuki will discover that the true essence of being a hero can't be studied for and just how much it means to be a beacon of light to those that need it.
Because of these two factors, the primary direction for Mizuki's growth will be to become more selfless and compassionate, especially to strangers and society in general, with her family also growing closer together being able to bond over her accomplishments. She will be able to flourish instead of being limited by her circumstances in life and find a certain sense of purpose beyond what her home life requires of her, allowing Mizuki to feel less forced and obligated in the path she has taken, instead feeling honoured to be able to be a part of it.

Quirk Description
Scarecrow, passed down from Mizuki's father, gave her the physiology of a scarecrow; that is she is entirely made of straw with burlap skin and many stitches around her body, with the most dense part of her being wooden bones. Of course, this immediately presents fire as a lot more dangerous to Mizuki than most, with even the smallest cinder being able to burn her up fervorously. This also contributes to her having almost no muscle mass and a reliance on the wood within her to provide force in combat.
In spite of her weaknesses, Mizuki does benefit from being able to tear off parts of her body which can act independently of her, for example she could tear off her left arm and it could crawl around whilst she performs without it. Although, if enough straw fell out of the hole made by the tear, it could incapacitate the limb and it also takes time to stitch them back to her body afterwards. The limit to this ability is that so long as Mizuki's head remains, the rest of her could be destroyed so long as a new body can made for her.
One large support for Mizuki's power is the fact that she possesses straw generation and manipulation, being able to create constructs out of straw expelled from her body without worrying about too much leaving her. Most commonly, for offensive purposes she creates large hay bales from her arms, like hammers, using the density to convey force and for defensive purposes, Mizuki creates soft hay piles to cushion those travelling at high velocities in need of a safe landing. She's not very creative with what she makes, but over time she'll learn to come up with better builds and it is just straw, so it has a limit to its strength and capabilities. The rest of her quirk is pretty self-explanatory; whilst Mizuki does not necessarily need to eat, she has a great yearning for field crops, particularly corn, and does sleep, yet in an upright t-position.
