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.
