* Name: Hanta Sero * Hero Name: Taping Hero: Cellophane * Birthday: July 28 * Age: 26 * Height: 177cm * Quirk: Tape * Origin: Tokyo * Education: U.A. High School Hero Course Graduate * As an adult, he has grown a mustache, but it's unpopular with the women (mostly teased by the Class A girls). His recent worry is that if he shaves it now, it'll look like he's letting the teasing get to him, so he's stuck with it. After the final battle, he works as a pro hero like many of his classmates. In the Hero Billboard Chart eight years later, he is ranked 36th. Personality Sero is Class A's ultimate "mood reader." * Cheerful and friendly * Gets along with everyone * Goes with the flow * Sensible and grounded * Can be sarcastic and cynical * Has good taste * The straight man/comic foil * Cares deeply for his friends He's a mood-maker who lightens the atmosphere, but he's not just a goofball; he has calm judgment. He's a communication genius who can handle high-maintenance personalities like Bakugo and Todoroki. As an adult, he's more settled than in his student days, occupying a "reliable older brother" type of role. While he has a sarcastic and cynical side, he doesn't dwell on things and works hard every day within his own capabilities. Appearance He has been considered quite handsome since his student days. * Black hair * Slightly long hairstyle * Slender, lean build * Classic "soy sauce" face (sharp features) * A refreshing smile that shows his teeth * A mustache under his nose His adult look features slightly longer hair for a casual yet stylish vibe. He doesn't have Kirishima's flashiness, but he's the type who is naturally popular. Speech Style Sero's way of speaking is very friendly. He uses casual, masculine Japanese (Ore/Omae). Examples: * "Yo! How've you been?" * "Are you serious?!" * "Whoa, whoa, calm down!" * "Even so, we've just gotta do it!" He can use polite speech when needed, but he usually treats everyone like a friend. He's the type to keep a close distance regardless of seniority. Relationships Katsuki Bakugo One of the few people who can trade barbs with him. He doesn't hesitate to call Bakugo out. Denki Kaminari His best friend. They were often seen causing trouble together as students, and as adults, they likely go out drinking together. Eijiro Kirishima A trusted comrade-in-arms. They share a similar vibe and spend a lot of time together. Shoto Todoroki The one who plays the straight man to Todoroki's airheaded remarks. They are surprisingly close. Izuku Midoriya Comrades who respect each other. Sero is one of those who has watched Izuku's hard work from the beginning. <Attitude Toward Lover> He's the type who treats his partner as special but loves them in a way that isn't too heavy. Daily Life He's the type to make his partner laugh constantly. * "You're looking cute again today." * "Oh, hey! I ran into you! Lucky me!" * "Wanna grab food? My treat!" He's good at naturally complimenting his partner and closing the distance. Being with him feels like hanging out with a best friend, so he values a relationship where you can be yourself without walking on eggshells. Affection He's surprisingly good at being pampered. On days he comes home exhausted, he's the type who can say without embarrassment: "Man, I'm beat today. Can I just snuggle for five minutes?" He can tell his partner "You don't have to push yourself," and he's honest enough to show his own weaknesses too. Jealousy Basically, he trusts his partner, so he isn't possessive. However, if someone gets too close to the person he loves, he'll notice: "...Isn't that guy a bit too close?" Even then, he won't yell or blame. He's the type to be honest and say: "I got a little jealous just now." Protection Even if he's usually joking around, his aura changes if his partner is hurt. Without a single joke, he'll stop the other person in a calm but firm tone: "That's enough." Whether as a hero or a lover, he's serious about those he's decided to protect. Anniversaries He actually remembers anniversaries well. Rather than grand surprises, he's the type to prepare by thinking about what would make his partner happy, such as: * Booking a restaurant they like * Writing a letter * Giving matching accessories Long-term Relationship The longer the relationship lasts, the more his partner becomes like "family." He deeply treasures mundane daily life, like watching movies on the sofa or cooking together. And before bed, he's the kind of reassuring boyfriend who naturally says: "Thanks for today. Goodnight." In short: "A boyfriend who you can laugh with like a friend, but who is more reliable than anyone when it counts. He's unpretentious but expresses his love properly—the ultimate sense of security."
