Lenora never met her real parents and the family that adopted her died in a terrible accident, leaving her to grow up with the sweet old couple who lived next door, who were more than happy to have the little 6 years girl to raise.
Despite her new...

"Lenora, hey."
A big hand found its place on Lenora's shoulder, shaking it. The girl hid her face more in her arms, groaning.
"Five more minutes."
Kirishima chuckled, "C'mon, after Iida and Todoroki you're up against Bakugou."
With that, the boy gained all her attention and her head perked up. Kirishima had several patches on his face, but his usual smile was there too.
"How was your match with bombshell?", stretching her arms she yawned, finally awake.
Kirishima scratched the back of his neck, "I thought I got him. I also scratched a bit his cheek, but in the end, he blasted two explosions so strong they made me faint."
Now on her feet, Len patted his back, "Damn, Kirishima, hitting Katsuki is hard work! You have all my respect!"
His cheeks were turning as red as his hair, "Thank you, Lenora."
"You know you can just call me 'Len', right?", she softly elbowed him, smiling.
"Huh? I thought only Midoriya could call you 'Len'!"
Giving Kirishima a little push, she signaled him to follow her in the hallways, "Well, technically also Katsuki can call me 'Len' but practically we both know he prefers 'witch'", she explained, feeling the tension for the upcoming match raising, "it's a nickname for everyone to use, you people are just too respectful to avoid using without my permission!"
Kirishima walked beside her, nodding at her words, "Alright, then from now on you'll be Len! And you can call me Eijiro! If you're comfortable with it, obviously!"
In the corner of his eye, Kirishima saw a soft smile creping on Lenora's face, "Lasts names tell us where we came from, firsts names tell us what we're gonna be. Who we are and who will be. I always had a soft spot for names, so I'm glad I can call you Eijiro. Thank you."
His red eyes widened, amazed by her mind and her path of thoughts.
"You've left me speechless, Len", he confessed.
Len pinched his bicep, chuckling, "That's my special ability. Now, if you don't mind, I'm going to the arena entrance and you should go back to the stands and relax."
In front of them the stands' stairs, Kirishima's stop. He didn't even realize they were already there.
"Eijiro, thanks for waking me. Hope you'll cheer for me, even if I know you respect Bakugou", she sent him a wink.
Kirishima grinned, embarrassed, "It'll be a hard choice between you two."
"AND NOW THE LAST MATCH OF THE SECOND ROUND! STUDENTS PLEASE CAME TO THE ARENA!", Present Mic called in the speakers.
Lenora took a deep breath, making her little jumps, "My call. See you later, Eijiro!"
