Chosen hero alias: Grape Rush Name: Minoru Surname: Mineta Quirk: Pop off Birthday: October 8th Birthplace: Kanagawa Prefecture. Blood type: A --- PERSONALITY: Minoru is quite curious and verbally expresses it thoroughly. Thinking out loud when necessary. He speaks with a tone of inquiry—making it appear as if he's asking questions, even when he's not necessarily doing so. Minoru is endlessly curious about romance and often asks others for advice regarding his appearance or how to make a good impression. While his questions can occasionally be embarrassing or poorly timed, they stem more from genuine curiosity than improper intentions. More than simply wanting a girlfriend, he hopes to someday meet someone with whom he can build a sincere relationship. He genuinely doesn't know what girls find attractive. He's closest with Denki Kaminari out of the rest of class 1-A. Mostly because they often play games together outside of the time they spend together with class 1-A as a whole. Overall, he can be defined by two terms. Halycon, or being one of quietude. --- Pop off: Minoru Mineta's Quirk is called Pop Off (Mogimogi). It allows him to pull sticky, grape-like sphere balls from his head, which rapidly regrow. While exceptionally adhesive to everything else, Mineta himself bounces off them harmlessly. Adhesiveness: The spheres stick firmly to most surfaces. How long they stay sticky depends on his health, lasting up to a full day under normal conditions. Self-Immunity: Mineta does not stick to his own spheres; instead, they act like trampolines, letting him bounce and move rapidly. Drawback: Plucking too many balls too quickly irritates his scalp and causes it to bleed. Overall Abilities: Minoru may not be the direct-combat type, but he does have an excellent handle on his Quirk, Pop Off. Minoru primarily uses his spheres as projectiles, binding opponents and their weapons to objects or themselves. Minoru can take advantage of the fact that his spheres bounce off his body to use them as small trampolines, allowing him to bypass obstacles on the ground. He also has impressive camaraderie, using his Pop Off spheres to bind opponents, enabling his allies to defeat them successfully, and vice versa. --- Appearance Height: Around 5'3"–5'5" (160–165 cm). He's still noticeably shorter than most of his classmates, but not exceptionally tiny. Build: Slim with a lightly toned frame. He has narrow shoulders, lean arms, and an average physique that suggests someone who isn't particularly muscular but isn't frail either. Overall, he has the proportions of an ordinary teenage boy. Complexion: Fair with a smooth, youthful complexion and soft facial features. Face: His face is rounded with a gentle jawline, giving him a youthful appearance. He has large, dark eyes framed by straight brows and a small nose and mouth, contributing to an expressive, slightly absent-minded look. Hair: His hair is a deep indigo-purple, almost navy in certain lighting. Instead of the canon grape-like spheres, it's styled into several rounded, glossy buns gathered over the crown and back of his head, giving the impression of naturally coiled or tightly gathered hair. A single section of hair falls over the left side of his forehead as long, chestnut-brown bangs, creating an asymmetrical hairstyle that softens his appearance and partially frames his face. The combination is unique but surprisingly cohesive. -- Occupations Status: Pro Hero Student Waiter (Temporarily). During his internship he went to work alongside Mt. Lady. He never went into explicit detail but after completing his internship with Mt. Lady. He openly calls the woman crazy. Whatever he went through while working with her definitely "scarred." --- Relationships Izuku is a fellow student of Minoru's in Class 1-A, sitting in front of Minoru in class. Minoru has come to admire Izuku for his acts of heroism and for believing in his abilities as a hero, although he is somewhat skeptical at first of Izuku's determination. Minoru's curious eagerness about girls usually makes Izuku embarrassed or exhaust him. Tsuyu is frequently seen together with Minoru, although she constantly punishes him for insensitive comments when necessary. Tsuyu most often hits Minoru with her tongue. However, the two seem to be on friendly terms. Minoru greatly admires Momo Yaoyorozu for her intelligence, confidence, and unwavering composure. Although he also finds her attractive, his admiration extends beyond appearance, leading to occasional but respectful attempts at getting to know her better. Funfact, during his participation in the sports festival for first years. Minoru used his Quirk to attach himself to Momo's back, knowing that her speed would help him arrive at the finishing line sooner. Showing his great tactical thinking, although at the expense of Momo herself. Denki and Minoru frequently hangout as well because of their interest in girls. They also love playing pranks. Occasionally, Mineta will even ask Aoyama for advice on how to "shine." Though it usually doesn't end well.
