#and tbf i do think that the first kanji means ''both'' or ''two'' and the second one is usually used for just ''parents'' innit

I'll take it. It's a stretch, but i'll take it

Still doesn't change the fact that he did bring up "his parents" when Anzu only asked if he had sisters. Mika is a terrible liar to me now. ♡

Trial by Fire - Orignal Character Sheet

Story link: Trial by Fire on AO3

Character: Torikae Meko

Name Meaning: 'Torikae' (取替) means "to swap/exchange". 'Meko' is formed with the kanji ‘me’ (目) meaning "eye/eyeball" or "to look/stare/glance" and ‘ko’ (子) which means "child". Her entire name is a giant reference to her Quirk.

Physical appearance: Meko is an average-sized girl of about 1m68 (5’6’’). She’s slim, but also has some visible muscle definition to her showing that she exercises a lot, with her shoulders and biceps being the most defined and her abdominal and back muscles being the least visibly trained. (She has muscle there, too, it just isn’t as visibly built.) She has a rather narrow waist and hips and is rather flat-chested, sporting a modest A-cup. She has long, coral-colored hair that she ties either in a high pony-tail-braid or, more often, in two low pigtails resembling the haircut of Saya from the anime Blood-C. Her complexion is light brown and she has aquamarine, almond-shaped eyes (when her iris are visible, anyway – see her Quirk for explanation details).

Hero costume: The most notable thing are her goggles, the lenses of which are one-way mirrors reflecting everything in front of her without hindering her being able to see (like the one-way mirror walls in police interrogation rooms in media, where it looks like a mirror on one side but there’s actually a room behind it and people can use it as a window to observe the interrogation). This is meant to hide not only what or who she’s looking at (similar to Eraserhead’s goggles), but also what her eyes look like (refer to the Quirk section for explanation). Beyond that, her hero costume is a form-fitting, reinforced, dark green biker jump-suit (a bit similar to the outfit of Makoto Nijima from the Persona 5 game once she awakens her Persona) to which she attaches various small knickknacks, particularly at the utility belt, around the ankles and wrists, but also at various other places. These knickknacks include but are not limited to tiny glass bottles containing one or two drops of various liquids, singular metal chain links, short wires, small pieces of wood, plant leaves and at least one or two pieces of some sort of fluff.

Quirk: Optic Exchange – If she looks at something and wills it, the object she’s looking at turns into the material her sclera is currently made of, while her sclera take on the material of the thing she’s been looking at. So the first time she’s used her Quirk, whatever she looked at turned into the biological material of her eyes and her eyes became whatever she’s been looking at. This works not only for solid materials like wood and metal, but also for fluids like water and most elements, like earth and fire and even for biological materials like plants or cooked meat. However, she cannot use her Quirk on anything in gaseous form, and depending on the material her eyes turn into she may not be immune to potential damage to her eye-sockets or the skin around her eyes. (So when her eyes turned into fire like in chapter 30 of TbF, she burned herself because her skin is not fireproof.) Her optical nerves and other optical cells seem to be protected to some degree, so risk of loss of eye-sight is significantly lowered, if not negligent in most cases. However, if she overuses her Quirk, her eye-sight worsens permanently and does not recover. Depending on the material her sclera turns into, her iris may be swallowed in the exchange so that only the material her eyes took on and her pupils remain, though this only seems to happen with some of the solid materials and never for fluid ones.

Personality: Meko is generally soft-spoken and a touch shy, but she’s also very determined and stubborn. Once she makes up her mind about someone, there’s no making her realize she might be wrong unless you have solid proof. Once she makes up her mind about doing something, there’s nearly no convincing her to not do it. You can either leave her to whatever she’s decided to do, or follow along to try and keep an eye on her, but forget about stopping her. That said, she also knows when to step back and let someone else take charge and, despite her stubbornness, she’s actually more prone to doing that than to taking matters into her own hands because she doesn’t feel comfortable leading others. However, while she’ll try to follow another’s plan to a T in most cases, if she thinks she has a better way to deal with things that won’t endanger her teammates, she’ll deviate and do her own thing. She’s not quite a ‘Lone Wolf’, but she’s not someone who always works perfectly with others, either. This is especially obvious when it comes to her Quirk, as people often tend to tell her to be careful with how she uses it and to not overdo it due to the potential damage she can do to her eyes, while Meko always tends to quickly consider both pros and cons of a certain course of action and then, when she decides to take it, not hesitating to see things through no matter how much pain she might have to endure or how much damage she risks to do to her own eyes. It’s not to the point of taking pointless risks, but she definitely doesn’t shy away from hurting herself if her using her Quirk can be a deciding factor of how a situation develops.

@ any artist willing to draw her, feel free, I’ll be honored. I only ask that you post your art with a reblog of this post or a link to it and not pretend she’s your OC :3
