Character Name: Shouto Todoroki YES I KNOW this is a kaminari journal but i took a month to pick who i wanted to apply for here and then i haven't chosen a good shouto name yet im sorry lol. i promise 2 come up with one b4 sunday Canon: My Hero Academia Canon History:I want it, too. I'll be a hero!
Canon Personality: Shouto's personality is one that changes throughout the series. At the very start he's a very cold & aloof character. He is entirely focused on his goal to become a hero without using anything his father has given him. At the start he holds himself apart from his classmates and doesn't connect with them like he does in later chapters/episodes...like a sad little man he really do be anime Zuko. After an interaction with his series protagonist he comes to move away from that. Early in one of the first arcs Shouto discusses his past with Izuku Midoriya. When he explains how he won't use his father's power no matter what the other hero in training tells him that it is his power. No one else had ever called it that before. His flames were always his father and his ice was always his mother. For the first time someone saw Shouto as something more than the puzzle pieces of his parents and it changed him at his core.
After that moment Shouto begins to connect to his classmates on a deeper level. He's still more reserved than many of the members of his class but instead of staying off on his own Shouto begins to truly interact with the other students. He participates in class discussions and banter sessions and actively tries to spend time with the others. Whenever they call him he's there in a heartbeat. Shouto is warm with people that he comes to view as important to him. He even opens up about his past willingly with the others on occasion.
As might be obvious from the scars on his face Shouto's past was a turbulent one. He experienced abuse at the hands of his parents and held a grudge against his father for it for a very long time. He still hasn't said he forgives his father in current canon although he is now willing to learn from the man instead of handicapping his own educational efforts. Shouto is a person who wants to move beyond his past and face his future. That past still chains him down in some ways, sure, but he is actively working to move beyond it.
Shouto has come a long way from the loner he once was at the very start of the series. He has friends now and he fights for those friends. His family relationships are being worked on and healed in some cases. He is working to be his own kind of hero using both his fire and ice powers. And most importantly of all he is refusing to let his father control his path and claiming his future for his own.
AU History: OK SO HERE WE GO I think the most interesting kind of alternate life to give Shouto would be one where he had a happy family! His parents in this life did not harm him at all and were chill as heck. They were busy sometimes sure and have been active in the paranormal world since he was a kid hunting down evil spirits and monsters but they have always cared for him and encouraged him to follow his own path!!! They have never tried to make him live his life for them and have instead tried to get him to live his life for him! I think this simple change will make it all the more interesting when he begins to realize he didn't have that in the memories he gets!
His parents moved them around often and only settled in Kaisou when he was a teenager. I do want his life to have a hint of tragedy for realism though so I will say that his father passed away only a year or two back since Disney mom deaths are out and Disney dad deaths are in again? He was much loved and Shouto actively misses the cool dude. He's very close with his mother as a result! A momma's boy.
While he has an interest in following his parents' footsteps to travel around solving spirit problems he's currently attending college for a degree so he can give himself the option of falling back on a "normal" career if he chooses. He's in gen ed because he hasn't decided what he wants to do yet though...maybe something like photography or something artsy? He lives with his mother and works part-time at a bar since becoming legal to do so!
AU Personality Differences: Shouto is much less angry! His parents raised him with love and affection even when they were busy and they had no expectations of him other than that he be happy. He is much more settled in himself and his life and feels like it is okay if he doesn't always have it figured out and if his goals are sometimes less than the top. He carries much less sadness and trauma on his shoulders! Good for him now he has to remember all the sucky stuff whoops :)
