Yui Ishihara

BACKSTORY

Yui Ishihara is the eldest daughter of famed fashion designer Akane Shimizu and ex-hero turned construction CEO Tetsu Ishihara. Her mother has the ability to manipulate threads and fine fabrics, creating garments that are highly sought after throughout Japan, while her father worked for a hero agency utilizing his metal quirk until an injury put him out of commission. Together, they are a well-respected high society couple, dragging their young daughters to galas and enrolling them in private schools to mingle with other well-to-do children.

Yui found it all boring. By day, she was required to be the precocious, perfectly poised daughter. At night, she'd stay up late in her room watching old videos online of her father fighting villains and saving the day. She'd pause the video and stare at the smiles of those whose loved ones were saved by his former self. Their smiles were wide and full of joy - a stark contrast to the sycophants her parents surrounded themselves with that always tried to cull her favor.

Her mother laughed when she announced her intention to apply at UA, assuming it was a joke. Sure, she would dress top heroes, but she mostly found the profession uncivilized. However, she knew that arguing would do no good so agreed that Yui could enter the Hero program. While Yui's attempts to request a tutor to train with were denied (a first for the young teen), she convinced a fellow classmate to secretly work alongside her until her entrance exams which she passed with flying colors, much to her mother's dismay.

QUIRK: STEEL CABLES

Yui has the ability to emit steel metal cables of varying thickness from her hands that can only be controlled when connected to her body. She can use them to primarily strike or grab opponents. By her request, her hero costume includes a utility belt so she can utilize a variety of attachments with the help of cable seals for quick use. If she doesn't have any seals, she'll need to manually tie objects together by hand as she's not currently adept enough for small, complex movements.

As with most creation quirks, there's a limit to how much she can produce as well as how much strength she can exert. If she over exerts herself, she'll begin to show symptoms of anemia including tiredness, dizziness, heart palpitations and shortness of breath.

A self-confident know-it-all that can't wait to graduate from UA and test her skills in the real world.
