When in civilian clothes, Taeko usually dresses fairly conservatively. She has a nice figure, but she hides it in big hoodies, dark clothes, ankle length skirts and other fairly concealing articles of clothing. Most of what she wears is a little dirty and cheap. If somehow invited out to fancier events (which she never is), she wears long and plain dresses. Black is her favorite color, and it shows often. Her fashion sense is drab.
When in her villain clothes, she embraces a more revealing skintight bodysuit, although she usually covers herself up alongside that with a full body cape. When required, she can use her quirk to add temporary 'armor' as well, covering certain bodyparts in the tar-like negative energy substance.

What do you do when you're born with an "evil" quirk? Some people try and work around it. Others try and not use their quirk at all. Some accept their role in society and walk the path of evil. Taeko was... simply confused. Born to a happily married couple at the time, when Taeko's quirk activated at age 6, she was left confused. Why her? What'd she done to deserve this sort of thing? The children around her awoke to awe inspiring powers; flight, the ability to lift trucks, turning into cool dinosaurs...
All Taeko could do was feel bad and ruin anyone's day if they fell victim to her quirk... Or if they fell victim to preconceptions about her quirk. How was a child to explain that no, just being around her wasn't going to amplify their bad moods? No matter how many times she'd show how her quirk worked, people simply heard the vague description and instantly avoided her.
Her parents divorcing when she was 11 didn't help either. Their happy marriage grew more and more tense until something- an ordinary argument, some accident around the house, who cares what in specific- finally made them snap. Taeko felt responsible despite her inability to help or ruin the situation, left adrift in the messy divorce proceedings that eventually landed her to live with her father. While never abused, Taeko and her father never quite got along as well as they had back when the family was whole; and she has no clue where her mother disappeared to after the divorce.
Come her teenage years, Taeko was at her lowest point; the bullying and isolation from her elementary grade years might've faded away- after all, teens were a little less ready to judge than small children were- but by then the isolation had become self-deigned. No-one would want to spend time with a friendless, "evil-quirk" loser after all. Thus, Taeko spent her high school years almost completely friendless, only occasionally bonding with people through the internet. Never academically gifted but neither incapable, she was utterly unremarkable outside of her quirk.
And this lack of remarkable traits left her buried in a hole by the time she was an adult. Her father plainly told her that he couldn't- or wouldn't want to- take care of her anymore, and Taeko quickly made do with a small hole-in-the-wall apartment funded by part time jobs and occasional monetary aid from her otherwise absent father.
Most would sink into a hole of utter despair and drift off to irrelevancy until eventual death. Taeko almost did so herself, rotting away in her little hole for years- until one day, at age 27, one of her friends said something truly innocuous in a chatroom.
"i wish my dirty cheating ex-bf would suffer =<("
Taeko took interest, and found out that her and her friend's boyfriend happened to live in the same general area. So, she hatched a little plan.
In exchange for a small payment, Taeko found this ex-boyfriend and used her quirk on him. Quick and simple, reaching out from an alleyway and drowning him in negative energy for a while and leaving before she'd be seen. Next thing she knows, tomorrow morning said boyfriend's in the morning newspaper for getting into a fight with local police officers for superficial reasons. Revenge was had;
... and Taeko felt good at the chance to flex her unused, oft misunderstood powers. The little bit of extra income didn't hurt either.
Soon enough, she was marketing these 'revenge' services to other people in her circle, and by some miracle never got reported for this frankly insane business plan. From there her 'service' expanded until she hit the dark web, officially selling "revenges" to people. While she stated she'd never outright kill anyone, Taeko promised she'd use her quirk to get the target into some kind of trouble.
Of course, she wasn't stupid enough to use her own name, so she started going by Bad Vibes online; while not officially a supervillain yet, Bad Vibes is the closest thing she has to a supervillain name. On the occasion she's used her quirk for petty theft and robberies as well; at age 33 she feels the most alive she ever has, growing more than a little drunk on finally finding a use for the quirk that cursed her to isolation at a young age.

"Spellbook" - when out and about as Bad Vibes, Taeko likes to carry a "spellbook" with her. It's actually just an artbook for a MMO she played when she was younger, and she carries it around purely for aesthetic purposes. It might trick some people into thinking that she channels her quirk through it instead of her hands and mouth, maybe? That's about it.

QUIRK NAME: Negative Energy
QUIRK RANK: C+
QUIRK TYPE: Emitter
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: Taeko can create tar-like "negative energy" from her hands and her mouth. This tar-like substance is black and red in coloration and can be created in nearly unlimited amounts, although the creation process takes time and tires her out if she abuses it greatly. The substance draws from Taeko's own mental state, so the worse her mood is the more painful it is to the touch upon others. As a baseline, the substance feels hot and prickly, like a mild acid. When in a really bad mood, it can cause burns and melt through iron if left on a surface for very long. Due to the consistency of the negative energy, Taeko has to throw it (or launch it from her mouth) instead of shooting it as clean beams. Taeko can also release the tar-like negative energy on herself to fashion temporary armor for herself; striking through it isn't very difficult, but the painful sensation will still apply to the attacker. It can cushion falls.
But the main use of this substance is its effects on people who ingest it. If this negative energy enters another body through an orifice or through prolonged skin contact, the negative energy affects the target's personality, amplifying their worst traits momentarily. People with a temper flare into anger, depressed people become inescapably sad, paranoia festers, etc. The effects duration depends on the amount ingested. This second part of the quirk requires narrative consent from the victim to function, and can be avoided as necessary.
QUIRK DRAWBACKS: If Taeko's in a very good mood, the quirk isn't very effective. The substance is barely harmful to the touch, at most feeling like touching nettle or some other slightly unpleasant sensation. When ingested, the effects from before still occur, but in lesser form and only for a few minutes. People with a strong willpower can also fight back against the effects of the quirk even when Taeko's in a bad mood. The substance also /has/ to be ingested for the main effect to happen; Taeko cannot pass bad vibes onto people just by existing near them. The tar like consistency of the energy makes it difficult to aim properly and is highly flammable, so a fire manipulating quirk can easily dispatch of it. Overusing the quirk tires Taeko out; while the tar production itself never ends, if she keeps making it without breaks she grows tired and slower.

SKILL NAME: Darkweb Connections
SKILL RANK: C
SKILL DESCRIPTION: After years of doing her little 'revenge service' online, Taeko's networked quite extensively in the dark web. She usually knows a guy if she needs something a little illegal done or looked into, although usual costs may apply to such things. This skill exemplifies her connections to the "small time", online criminal world.
SKILL NAME: Stealth
SKILL RANK: C
SKILL DESCRIPTION: Usually, Taeko's targets are people she has to get to subtly. Her lack of presence and quiet nature, along with years of her 'revenge service' work have taught her the basics of instinct based, no-nonsense stealth. She can sneak into some pretty secure places without being seen or heard.
