Izumi's bad luck had to start the day she was born. All of her life, she has never once had a father figure to look up to, nor someone to comfort her when her mother was working into the evening and was late to pick her up from elementary school. Her mother told her that her father was just very busy and never gets to come home, but it was getting harder to believe that, even for Inko herself. Inko was getting worried about her more often then not, since she was friendless. Izumi never really had any close relationships with any of her classmates to call any of them her friends.
Her only friend, who was with her since birth mind you, was Katsuki Bakugo who is the son of her mother's friend, so it was expected that they would at least get along. The icing on the cake was when her mother brought her to visit the quirk doctor at the tender age of 5. Both mother and daughter expected a positive response, thinking that Izumi was probably just a late bloomer, like some of her classmates. Reality had other ideas in mind.
"Sorry kid, it's not possible."
Izumi felt like a bomb was thrown and exploded right by her head. She couldn't comprehend what the doctor was saying at all, nor what he was explaining to her mother about 'people with quirks are commonly seen with only one toe joint.' It felt as if she was running on auto pilot as then were heading back to their apartment complex. It didn't register in her mind that she was officially quirkless until after dinner, while she was watching a video about AllMight [Current #1 Hero] saving people. Of course, Izumi did what everyone else would do in her situation.
She burst out crying. Even when her mother came into her room trying to console her and get her to calm down, she kept a flood of tears going.
"I'm so sorry Izumi.. I wish it didn't turn out this way."
This was only just the beginning.

[ 9 and a half years later ]
Izumi Midoriya is now at the age of 13, nearing 14, and still has a full 2 weeks until the end of her last year in Aldera Middle School. Over the years, everyone found out about her quirkless status, and she was then ether shunned or pitied by her peers for being weak. The bullying only started getting physical when she was 8. Her previously solid friendship with Kacchan [Katsuki Bakugo] died out and he soon joined in on the bullies antics, but for some weird reason he could never look her in the eye. Neither did he join in of the physical fights, just calling her names when she walked by, stealing her lunch money or just scaring her with his Explosion quirk.
She gained the nickname 'worthless Deku' after tripping and falling and just being plain clumsy for so long, but surprisingly somehow kept her studies and exams within the top 10 students in her year. That was only just the tip of the iceburg, though.
Inko Midoriya was in the hospital and suffering from a deadly illness, she has been for a year now. Working late in the evening and early in the morning gotten to her head, so she has had a bad bill of health for a while now. While she was heading to work one morning, her office building was completely destroyed by a villain, and she got hit with an out-of-control quirk. Thus, ending up with Izumi's mother in the hospital on the verge of death.
"Now, it's time for you to decide on which high school your planning on attending-" The voice of Izumi's home room teacher echoes in her ears, and snapped her out of that hideous thought cycle she constantly found herself drowning in.
