''I don't know what you are trying to insinuate. The two are not even remotely similar. Even if they were, perhaps I am turning over a new leaf?'' Or maybe she had just been so successful at convincing herself that she had become blind to the realities of the situation. Whatever, she knew she had said a lot of foolish things during their Sports Festival match and as much as she hated to admit that her own path was flawed, she also knew she would never grow if she didn't try to improve more actively. ''Well, then you can tell Misaki that her fears were unwarranted. My quirk is working the same way it always does, is it not?'' She looked over at Ylva, trying her best to reassure her roommate that no really, she did have everything under control. ''I am not naive.'' Not that she was going to push that point. She came here to train, not to argue. ''Fine.'' She closed her eyes and focused on turning off her armor like normal, and it did. But the circle of light didn't disappear and what's more, the armor that replaced Masao's regular armor was slightly different. She blinked her eyes, looking down at herself before looking over at Ylva. ''Um...'' Yup, the gauntlet was still there. ''A fluke, perhaps. These things are expected when quirks develop.'' She closed her eyes and tried to turn her quirk off again. Nothing. One more time. Nothing. When Ylva stepped away, the gauntlet would disappear once she left the circle of light around Masao. However, the moment she stepped back towards and got back into the circle, a full suit of armor appeared over Ylva to protect her from a danger that wasn't there. Masao cleared her throat awkwardly. ''Well, as much as I would love nothing more than to lecture you, the fact of the matter is that you are far more experienced with an emitter type quirk, and I a transformation type...'' This was awkward. She had no clue how to turn off this light circle and it was becoming increasingly apparent. She gave Ylva a silent thumbs up as she watched, and while she observed her roommate increasing her quirk output, she pondered over how she could control this new application of her quirk. The one question she kept coming back to was what had changed recently? The light had always been a part of her quirk, but never persistent like this. Was it her loss during Sports Fest? She couldn't rule it out, but it didn't make any sense either. Sure, Ylva roughed her up pretty good in that arena, but she didn't feel anything out of the ordinary when it came to her quirk. However, shortly after the match, after meeting Enma, she could no longer summon her armor on command. She shielded her eyes a bit as she felt her armor heat up slowly from the sheer output of the red/orange wisps. ''It is certainly a lot more powerful this time around. Have you identified the secret behind your new move?'' She looked over at Ylva. They weren't friends, she wouldn't call them acquaintances either, but they were roommates. Neighbors. And whether she liked it or not Ylva had proven she was here to stay, that she wasn't going to get kicked out of UA the same way she had Shiketsu. Maybe that was what compelled her to share another secret. ''The secret to the Ando armor. Did I ever tell you what it is? It's spite.'' She looked down at her armored hands. ''My father who also has this power, the first Paragon, he taught me to turn my hate into fuel. That means our... Fighting, became a source of power for me.'' She didn't care whether Ylva thought she talked a lot, she felt this was all necessary information. ''However, if I lean into that now, if I tune into my spite...'' She took a deep breath and shockingly, deactivated the armor, not just her own but Ylva's too. ''Then my quirk... Does not activate...'' She sounded a bit dumbfounded, but quickly tried to save face. ''Riis-san. I don't care about your path or my path. We both want to seek something greater, and if I cannot achieve it, then you will.'' Her tone and piercing gaze got oddly serious. ''Turn your new attack on me.'' She glanced up at the orange/red heat. ''If I do not take any damage, then we will know it is subpar and requires more practice.'' Normally she wouldn't be this reckless, but her quirk was literally built to tank, and she was more durable than any training dummy Ylva could point her new attack at. What had first made the light manifest it wasn't the spite that used to power her quirk. The light manifested from love. Thinking about Enma Arashi, Masao put some distance between her and Ylva to avoid putting her in the light circle. As the light appeared on Masao's body, it took the shape of a glowing heart on her chest, synchronizing with her own heartbeat as it beat, once, twice, and on the third beat the armor manifested and the light circle below it. ''Whenever you are ready. Show me the progress you have made.''Ylva Riis |

Thank goodness she was okay. Masao had come dangerously close to not just losing her spot at UAU, but getting imprisoned for murdering an innocent civilian. ''I am relieved to see that you are unharmed.'' Not only that, but she was surprisingly jovial too! If Masao hadn't seen the death balloon coming right for her she would be hard pressed to even know that Jingjing's life had just been in danger. ''I see. Fan-san, it is nice to meet you. My apologies, my invention ran amok, I do wish we could have met under better circumstances.''Oh? She blinked her eyes. ''Random Café? Is it located in Tokyo? I might have walked past your place of work on more than one occasion.'' That probably made it sound like she wasn't interested in what was going on there, but the truth was Masao never really stopped to visit any stores that didn't have to do with her manufacturing. ''You think so?'' She asked, before walking over to retrieve her failed invention. ''This balloon fiesta is all about taking to the skies, as you can no doubt see from the plethora of hot air balloons. However, there is also ample space to celebrate smaller balloons. I did not have the budget or time for a hot air balloon, so my smaller model, Bladedancer had to suffice.'' She picked it up and turned around to face Jingjing. ''Do you like balloons, Fan-san? I assume that must be why you travelled out here today for the festivities.''Jingjing |

Did he really think she was beautiful? She liked to think that she was confident in herself. Not just her abilities, but her looks too. She didn't like to dwell on her self-doubts and get caught up in despair, it was part of the reason she was such a workaholic. Still, even though she didn't think of herself as someone who had low self-worth, part of her never thought she had a chance with Enma. In many ways she wasn't the ideal women she pictured most guys being interested in. She wasn't particularly feminine. She wasn't good at putting on complex makeup, or doing her nails, or talking about her feelings, or being a woman in general. The problem was only further exacerbated by her main vocation. She was a weaponsmith, her job was viewed as masculine and her fashion sense was hardly girly either. To make matters worse, she was tall. Too tall. A lot of guys didn't like women that were taller than them, and she was taller than Enma. It was low, no, disgraceful of her to think that Enma would be so narrowminded, but the reason her doubts were so strong was because she wanted to spend more time with him. Moments like this, she didn't want them to end. She wanted to create more of them. But now he was complimenting her beauty... She was beautiful? The crimson dreamscape that reflected in his eyes, the guy she hadn't been able to stop thinking about, he thought she was beautiful? ''I...'' She swallowed nervously, unsure of how to respond other than meeting his smile with her own. He was a genius with the sword, pen and words too. On all accounts, Enma Arashi was the true embodiment of an artist. He really was who he said he was, except he was so much more too. He was a hero on a journey. Not the professional hero kind, but the hero that vanquishes the Demon Lord. She was just a party member, but one who wanted to accompany him for the entirety of his journey and more. Someone who could only dream he would want her around for that long. ''Thank you.'' She said politely, feeling more shy than usual after his compliment. She felt reassured by his response. A journey they took together... A beautifully apt way of putting it. She looked down at his hand for a moment longer than she would have liked, but the offer surprised her and most of all, made her heart beat louder. Would he regret making this offer in a few moments? What if he hated how her hands felt? She could be stuck doubting herself for an eternity, but she took his hand in a heartbeat. Her fingers were slender, her hand surprisingly soft. Despite how much she trained and worked at the forge, she actually took good care of her hands and had a whole routine to keep them clean and proper. She held his hand, but was careful not to squeeze it too hard in case she might accidentally hurt him, even though she wasn't strong enough to. ''If you truly mean it then... I'd like for you to remain happy.'' She smiled, her face was still burning red, but at this point she was starting to get used to that sensation when she was around him. ''Nothing brings me more joy than seeing you happy, Enma-kun.'' She looked down into his eyes, she could stand there for hours if they weren't right in the middle of the entrance. ''Sh-Shall we?'' She smirked, indicating towards the first exhibit. ''I believe we have a few artifacts to peruse.''enma |

Masao was in the middle of moving a crate of materials, having donned her armor quirk to boost her strength when Momoiro walked in. She looked in their direction, her expression stoic, but otherwise intrigued by having a guest stop by her place. ''The very same. If you need a sword then you have come to the right place.'' She hoisted the crate up a bit, putting it away before turning to the new student, making her armor quirk disappear in the blink of an eye to reveal the dirty blacksmith's apron she was wearing over her student inform. ''Third year support student, Ando Masao, at your service.'' She bowed formally, her intense green eyes looking back at them. She didn't mean to, but due to how bad she was at expressing her emotions she was often misunderstood or came across as a bit tense. ''To whom do I owe the pleasure?'' She waited patiently for their reply before straightening her back again. ''I specialize not just in swords, but bladed weaponry.'' She started pacing, indicating one of the walls with her hand that contained a weapon rack with a myriad of weapon prototypes. ''Axes, daggers, chakrams, kunai, shuriken, tridents and so on.'' She stopped and turned to face them again. ''A sword is a trivial matter depending on the request. You need not know exactly what the sword you are commissioning is capable of, but I would like for you to elaborate on your commission. What do you hope to accomplish with the sword I make for you. Do you have any special features in mind?''Momoiro Sakurai |

The final stretch of the fight was shorter than she thought it would be, but she didn't blame Michael. If anything, she blamed herself for losing her cool. She looked up at one of the cameras that had been recording their match. She said a lot of bad stuff about her family on TV so she could probably expect a stern talking to soon. Not that any of that mattered. ''You're a dull blade.''As much as Ylva was a good for nothing brute... She was also right. Masao wanted to be so much more than she was, but the truth was she wasn't gifted, and despite working hard she had barely made any progress in the last year. Should she really reconsider whether she was cut out to be a hero? Her expression turned a bit somber as she looked over at Ylva right when she left the arena. Was she... Sad? ''I am quite all right, Michael-san.'' She bowed her head formally. ''Think nothing of it, you did everything you could. My performance as your teammate was subpar. I should not have stepped into the ring with you.'' She turned to look up at Kei. He was her enemy in the match, but she couldn't help but feel proud of him. Michael too, he put on a strong performance lasting for so long inside the ring. ''I have a lot to think about... Michael-san, I do not hold this loss against you. You fought authentically. I am sure someone in the stands has already taken note of you.'' She gave him a small bow once more, before turning to leave. ''If you talk to him first, could you congratulate Hada-san on my behalf?''Kei Hada, Samaritan, Ylva Riis |

Everything had been changing so fast lately. Between everyone showing off how much they had improved at the Sports Festival and meeting new students, Masao could hardly keep up with it all. She was having new feelings, feelings for someone else, and it reflected all through her life. She was texting him a lot, hanging out with him, training with him, she might even her first date coming up. A date. She liked someone so much she wanted to go on a date... Even her quirk was rapidly changing. She still thought back to how her armor had manifested differently in her training with Ylva. Would something like that happen again today? She was training with Misaki, and she trusted her a hell of a lot more than she did that ice brute. Standing out in the training grounds she flipped her phone's camera display around to take a selfie of herself. Then delete it. Then take another, only to delete it moments later. She repeated this process for a lot longer than she would be comfortable with before just sending the picture to Enma, her face beet red by the time she hit sent. What was he doing right now? What would he think? ... Did he think about her as much as she thought about him? She took a deep breath and tried to center herself. She could think about Enma later, she had all day to do that, but for now she needed to focus on training, and on being present in the moment. Her friend Misaki was showing up. It would be rude not to give her, her full attention. ''Takanashi-san, it is good to see you.'' She bowed formally when Misaki finally arrived. Takanashi Misaki |

Ylva was talking to her like she didn't know anything, like she wasn't just spewing a bunch of nonsense out of that mouth of hers. Masao had never been this angry before, as usually she bottled up her anger and buried it somewhere deep inside her. Not this time, this time she was indulging it fully and it made it impossible for her to think. All she could do was act on her need to commit violence against Ylva, and that was exactly what she did when she dropped her armor and punched her. ''This is the best you can do with your 'sword'? You'll be the laughing stock of the hero course!''Turned out Ylva actually did know how to throw a punch, as the hit she took to her gut was enough to leave her gasping. She was hurt, but she was refusing to go out even as Ylva was rearing to toss her. Reaching up, she grabbed onto Ylva's arm and squeezed, planning to hold on no matter what, stay in the ring even if it cost her, her own life. Maybe if she reactivated her armor she could catch Ylva by surprise once again and turn the fight in her favor. But then, throwing her out of the ring wouldn't be good enough. She wanted to punch Ylva more, she needed to punch her more. It was terrifying to be this angry, to know she had this much potential for destruction, and yet... She wouldn't come to realize it yet, but ending up outside of the ring alongside Ylva had saved her from going down a very dark path. It took her a moment to snap out of it but once she did she just sat there for a moment and took it all in. Had Michael done that intentionally? No, there was no way he could have seen what was going on with those ice walls in the way. ''Michael-san...'' She muttered. Win or lose, she was going to stay by his side until the match came to its conclusion. She didn't spare Ylva a single glance. She was finally starting to cool down so she didn't need another reason to blow up at her. Standing up she dusted herself off and waited for the penultimate finale to play out.

Another day at campus meant another day working away at her workshop. The third year support students had been assigned specific projects to work on for the week, meaning she was spending less time in class and more time working on her own. The only problem was she wasn't sure what she should make and document as her project. Usually commissions for her weapons were a bit backed up, but due to her rigorous schedule she was actually ahead for once, and it would feel like a waste if she made a weapon and no one wielded it. That was why she started the week by posting up flyers around campus, making sure to advertise her services in noticeboards and by posting online in school related chatrooms. Once she was done spreading the word she went to get her supplies and brought them back to the workshop. With the materials secured, all she needed was an idea of what to shape the metals into. She walked over to her workbench where she kept her schematics and looked through them one more time. A spear? A dagger? An axe? There weren't too many weapon wielders in the school she hadn't already met... Unless there were more swordsmen? Swords were popular, heck, she had fashioned one for herself already and while she could make another for herself that almost seemed overindulgent when she wasn't interested in the art of dual-wielding. Taking out her phone, she texted Enma for advice while she waited. She had posted up her working hours so anyone that saw the flyers or her posts online would know where to find her and when she was available. Now it was just a matter of waiting... Momoiro Sakurai |

She was a little surprised that he had arrived early too. Did he think it was weird that she was here already? She couldn't help but notice his outfit too, he was dressed so smartly. Not that he didn't put effort into his every day outfits, but something about this one was different, fancier... And it made him look incredibly handsome. The way his choice of clothing not only complemented his eyes, but showed off his muscles while still remaining formal, her mind was racing. She wanted to hold his hand. Were they going to hold hands? People did that sort of thing on dates, didn't they? The closest she usually got to him was when they were sparring, but that was different from this kind of closeness. The slow, quiet... The stunning red in his eyes... Her mind was drifting again! She felt impossibly happy when he said her name, her heart injecting with a boost of energy she didn't even know she had. ''Y-You think so? Your choice of attire suits you as well.'' She averted her gaze. His eyes were so vibrant and enchanting. Look for too long and she could get lost in them for hours. She couldn't help but get a little shy and awkward. She was never that self-conscious about her looks before she met him. Sure, she cared about looking pretty, but never to impress someone else. Not until they first met and crossed swords. She still remembered the first time she got lost in his crimson eyes. ''You got these for me, Enma?'' She could feel her face warming up again as red presumably flushed into her cheeks. ''They're beautiful.'' She happily accepted the flowers, taking a moment to sniff them and take in their fragrance. They would be the prettiest thing here if they weren't competing with the man that had stolen her heart. A competition they could never win. ''A surprise?'' She smirked, trying to lighten the mood a little bit, mostly for the sake of her own nerves. ''You're full of surprises today. You come here bringing flowers, looking so refined and handsome...'' She trailed off, feeling her heart beat a little faster. What could he possibly have planned? ''En... Enma.'' She got a little more serious. ''I feel like I should be honest with you...'' She didn't know how to put it into words, but it was best to get it out of the way now while they were heading into the museum. ''I haven't gone on a date before.'' She admitted shamefully, bowing her head at him. ''My apologies I am new to all this... H-However, I will do my utmost to make sure that you enjoy it.''enma |

Almost as if on cue, Junsuina Kanjo showed up almost like a police officer ready to confiscate the wine bottle, or at least so it appeared. It was only then that Masao recalled the event she was talking about, the party at the yacht. Jun hadn't been on her case personally, but she did recall her telling others off for drinking. ''Technically, I did not suggest that the wine be consumed today. It is a gift for Lémieux-san and she can do whatever she wants with it, which implies she could save it for another day.'' It was pedantic, but she didn't want to risk being lumped in with uncontrollable drunks like Yoko or Freja just because she enjoyed a glass of wine every now and then. ''How unexpectedly reasonable of you, Riis-san.'' She teased, but she spoke too soon as her intention was not to put water out, but actually try to upstage her. Her expression didn't change, but Ylva's trick clearly got to her. ''Are you implying that a bottle of wine is an inferior gift? I do not trust the words coming from someone with such a predictably unrefined taste.'' Tension was already building between her and Ylva, but thankfully Misaki showed up the next moment. She offered her a silent wave and went back to browsing for decorative weapons on her phone while she thought about what Julienne said earlier. An excuse to make friends, huh. Maybe she was more of a hermit than she realized. Looking up from her phone she looked at Misaki and Jun. ''I did not know you and Kanjo-san were familiar with Lémieux-san.'' And it was at this point she became acutely aware that she was the only support student present. ''Hada-san did?'' She looked over at Julienne, her thoughts drifting back to the yacht party. Kei was accompanied by a very angry woman who got up in Ylva's face and... Uh oh. Pushing that thought aside she answered Julienne's question confidently. ''Forging. Whether it is shaping metal into a weapon or tools, nothing is more productive than creating something with your hands. Although I suppose that would be hard seeing as we don't have a forge to work with.'' Her answer was predictably a workaholic one. Masao never really did anything strictly for fun and almost never took time off so she didn't know the first thing about it. Suddenly she fell a chill travel down her spine. They were being watched. Dropping her phone on the couch, Masao stood up and spun around to face the shadowy mass, putting a hand on her sword, ready to draw it at a moment's notice. Had villains somehow found a way into campus? But how had they penetrated the UA's defenses? Despite the terrifying display, the villain appeared small in stature, maybe they had used that to their advantage to sneak inside? Her brain was working overtime to comprehend everything that was happening and trying to find conclusions as to how they had all gotten into this situation. Then... Just like that, the shadows vanished, like waking up from a bad dream. Masao was so stunned that she had to blink her eyes a few times to make sure she wasn't seeing things. She had been ready to stare down Death and now there was a sweet young lady standing there in its place. ''I see.'' She smirked, her sword making a little shik! sound as she let go and let it slide fully back into the sheath. ''A pleasure to meet you, Suzui-san.'' Did she say she was with Yaoyao? Maybe Yaoyao was running late? In any case, she was surprised that Lili had shown up, but relieved that she wasn't going to throw hands with that brute, Ylva.

''All the more reason to train, or are you suggesting that there may come a day where your quirk evolves out of your control? New additions to your power is to be explored, not met with needless skepticism.'' And whatever was happening to her right now was... Odd. This warm, pulsating light that came from her armor, it had always been a feature of her quirk, but usually when she transformed it only lasted an instant, hardly enough time for her to analyze the sensation. Much like Ylva, she was too distracted to actually look at her while they were having this conversation. Right up until Ylva mentioned Enma. ''..He's not my boyfriend! He-...'' She hesitated, trying to find the words. ''He's a swordsman, I make swords. It's a... Mutually beneficial partnership.'' She flushed. The old her wouldn't have gotten so wrapped up in such a little comment, but she cared about Enma, more than she had ever cared about another person. ''Nevertheless,'' she cleared her throat. ''I'm not surprised that you would be afraid to talk to Misaki. You still have that misanthropic streak in you after all. I know you want to become a hero your way, but your way isn't going to make things easier.'' The light from the ground slowly began to dim and fade and so would the bit of armor that had manifested on Ylva. Unlike her quirk when she used it normally, it appeared that supermoves were not as sustainable. She looked on inquisitively as Ylva's blue wisps started to change shade. How odd, her roommate's quirk usually didn't do that either. What was even weirder, was that she still felt the heat from her armor's light even though it had faded... No, this wasn't her armor, this heat was a lot more strong, uncomfortably so. Looking at the red-orange wisps she put two and two together. Ylva was creating heat. ''That's new for you, is it not?'' How was that possible? She didn't know the exact intricacies of Ylva's quirk, but for an ice type emitter to turn around and emit heat? It seemed impossible without being labeled a dual type user. For once, even though it was tempting to taunt her roommate, and past her might have done that, but this time she actually didn't want to. ''I think it's impressive. At a glance, I might even be tempted to think that's a new quirk entirely. You could throw off your opponents easily with a move like that.'' Not that she had time to stand there and get into hypotheticals and theories. She had her own power to think about. Mimicking what she had done before, the light appeared once more, shooting into the ground faster this time and once Ylva was within the circle it manifested a gauntlet on her hand again. ''Does that harm you in any way? What did you feel just now?'' As much as she hated it, she couldn't really determine the nature of her new supermove without asking Ylva, the very subject it was being used on. Ylva Riis |

The nerves on this woman. This was what made her such a nightmare roommate. Every detail about her life, everything would eventually be turned into a weapon she could poke and prod her with. ''I can focus.'' She huffed, making it clear that she wouldn't need to call Misaki at all. ''What do you mean that's it?'' She furrowed her brow at Ylva. ''It's different, it is something new. Besides, this is just the beginning, I have yet to explore the full extend of what this light even is.'' She was waving her light hand around at this point. ''Are you suggesting you're hiding something better? Let me guess, the ice quirk produces more ice?'' She shrugged. Shocker, it would leave the entire school speechless! While the light still lingered on her hand she put her hands on her hips and waited for Ylva's demonstration. If her rival was so amazing she better have the talent to back it up and not just run her mouth as she usually loved to do. To her surprise, Ylva actually pulled off something interesting. She watched the blue wisps closely as they floated into the air. ''What's that, fire?'' She looked back down at her own hand, then over at Ylva. ''Very well, but just for your information, sheer numbers does not always indicate a superior technique-'' Suddenly the light pulsated violently and shot down into the ground, creating a circle of light around her that moved with her when she walked. As Ylva was just on the border of that circle, her quirk reacted, her armor blinking rapidly as another suit of armor manifested around Ylva, fitted to her size and everything. Or, rather than a whole armor it was just a gauntlet, but it was a start. ''Not the most efficient offensive attack I'd wager.'' She said it with a self-aware smirk as she took a deep breath. This light thing was really taking a toll on her stamina. ''So what's next?''Ylva Riis |

She was experiencing many new things lately. She had wounded her pride after losing her cool at the Sports Festival, further widening the divide between her and her family. Sometimes she wondered if she would ever be good enough for them, or whether that even mattered anymore. Arguably the biggest new thing that she was experiencing was feelings for a boy. She had been texting Enma more frequently lately, she even found herself sneaking glances at her phone during class when she normally wouldn't, just to see if he had sent a new message. Even though her emotions were all over the place and it made her quirk difficult to control, she was also happier than she had ever been. Part of her wished she could feel these feelings forever, but the everchanging nature of time presented her and Enma with a new set of challenges. What was a good spot for a first date? She didn't know the first thing about this stuff, her gut reaction would have been to say the training grounds that they visited so often, but then again they already did that together. Would that still make it a date, even if they didn't go somewhere special? Her friend Misaki had plenty of ideas for where her and Enma could go based on all those romance novels she read, but something told Masao that wasn't her, nor Enma's speed. In the end they settled on a museum and dinner date. Which worked just fine for her since she was a history buff, and her and Enma could already spend hours just talking about weapons and tradition. Too embarrassed to wait for him at the campus in case someone like Ylva spotted her, Masao suggested they meet up at the museum in the city instead. She had taken out one of her best suits for the occasion, one which gave her a more androgynous look, but still accentuated and hugged her curves. At Misaki's suggestion she had also chosen to put a white rose in her hair. Waiting outside the museum, she would smile once Enma showed up. enma |

Almost always stoic and serious, Masao is not good at making first impressions or socialzing. Her devotion to her craft and her career is absolute meaning that making friends often comes second to all that. It doesn't mean she isn't eager to help. She is always ready to offer a helping hand and will happily craft weapons for those who need them and intend to use them for good.
She holds herself to an impossibly high standard, both as a person and as the symbolic hero she aims to become. However, she also holds others to the same standard and will call out other students or heroes who lack honor or conviction. While Masao can come across as intense and unfeeling, it couldn't be further from the truth. She cares a lot about those around her and is very loyal to her friends. She also has a secret appreciation for cute things which no one can know about.

[b]Hero Attire:[/b] Luckily for her, Masao's hero costume is her quirk. When she dons her armor, Masao becomes the hero Paragon, clad in a shining knight's armor that keeps her safe and makes her stronger. She never wears it just for fun and is always dead serious when she brings out the armor, taking her mantle as the next Ando very seriously.

[b]Civilian Attire:[/b] With long red hair, a serious face and an androgynous sense of fashion she carries herself like someone who always has a sense of purpose. Being that she is tall and slender and has a masculine name she often gets confused for a man, especially when wearing her knight's armor or spending hours in her workshop.

I was born into the Ando family as their only child. My parents wanted a son to inherit the family manufacturing business, so I was given a boy's name and raised as a boy. My earliest memories are of my parents showing me the workshop and the forge I would one day use to tame steel just like them.
At the age of six I inherited my mother's armor quirk. It was an armor just like hers, with an activation switch akin to my father's quirk. At the time I was ecstatic, but I soon learned it would take many years for me to earn this armor, this heavy burden. My parents wanted me to have the world. To use their status and experience to train me to be the best weaponsmith in Japan, but they also forced me to train towards becoming a hero. To use my armor for the people.
I named my power ''Fake Divine'' when I learned firsthand how impossible it was to meet their expectations, and yet I press on.
I passed the UAU support student entrance exam. It was no surprise that they were impressed with my product, I had been honing my craft since I was a child. In my first year at UAU I excelled at every written test, every practical test, my weapon production was steady and of high quality. The problem was, it wasn't good enough. By the end of my first year I hadn't managed to stand out at all on the manufacturing front. I was doing well, but I wasn't the shining example of hope that my parents hoped.
I intend to remedy the mistakes of my first year heading into my second year. The only problem is this former Shiketsu student. She's on the hero course and she's a troublemaker. I am to be her student liaison. Monitor her every move and make sure she keeps up with school because she's too immature to do it by herself. It's irritating, but it's just another hurdle I need to overcome on my journey to becoming a hero.

[b]QUIRK RANK:[/b] A
[b]QUIRK TYPE:[/b] Transformation
[b]QUIRK DESCRIPTION:[/b] In a flash Masao becomes Paragon! Masao's quirk allows her to don a special suit of knight's armor, boosting her durability and strength attributes to be equal to her quirk's rank so long as her quirk is active.
[b]QUIRK DRAWBACKS:[/b] Her armor is heavy and will cause her to sink fast in water, it is also conductive due to being made of metal and for similar reasons can very easily overheat if exposed to fire. She has to be mindful of when and where she uses her quirk, as the armor will always appear with a flash and produce a lot of noise, making it pretty much impossible for her to commit to stealth with her quirk. When she overuses her quirk or her armor absorbs too much damage, it will automatically fade away and leave her exhausted, often unable to run or stand for a short period of time.
