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 woke up almost three days later in a hospital, a day after everyone was already up and someone was also discharged; she didn't dream or else during her sleep, resting all the time, her light keeping away the bad thoughts to help her.
She didn't know what happened or how she arrived there but turning her head and taking off the breathing mask, she noticed two familiar figures snoring on the chair beside her bed.
"Mina, Eijiro...", she called them, weakly shaking Mina's knee.
The girl groaned, yawning loudly, "Five more minutes, Len."
Len chuckled, raising to sit on the mattress, watching Mina realize what she just said.
"LEN!", tossing her arms around her neck, she immediately started sobbing on her shoulder, not able to stop the tears from falling. Kirishima's sleep was disturbed by the cry and his eyes shot open. Lenora waved her free hand to him, and he copied Mina's example, tossing his arms around the girls, squeezing them.
"You're finally awake...", his voice cracked, due to the emotions flooding out.
At that moment the door of the room slid, and gasps and squeals filled the air.
"LEN!", Uraraka ran to her, Tsu, Kyoka, Toru, and Momo right behind her. Kirishima moved a bit to allow them to hug Lenora too, watching Denki, Sero, Tokoyami and Aoyama made their way inside, eyes filled with happy tears. None of them saw how badly Len was damaged after the battle, they didn't see her fighting without an arm, her bleeding legs nor the holes Shigaraki's whip created on her chest and stomach. They weren't there while she bled out kicking the Nomu, her darkness spilling out her body non-stop. It was the darkest show ever, but they didn't know.
Only three students knew, plus some Pro.
"Lenora", Shoto's throat was still burned from Dabi's flames, but he was doing better, and the doctors allowed him to wander in the hallway to visit his still injured friend.
The girls sniffed and cleaned up their running noses, stepping away from Len and letting Todoroki appreciate her. Len sighed, patting the spot next to her, where Shoto plopped down, his head falling on Len's left shoulder.
She hugged his head, passing her hands on his hair, tears falling on them, "I'm so sorry", she was obviously talking about Toya. Who better than her knew how did it feel to have a brother who wasn't exactly a good person? They were even more similar now.
He touched her new arm, "How this is possible?", he asked her.
"My God, Lenora", another voice came into the picture before Len could answer him and she almost had a heart attack.
"No...", she whispered, watching her mentor with her mouth open.
Mirko was missing half of her left arm and all her right leg; prostheses were replacing the missing limbs. They looked made of a resistant material, probably to match up the Hero's job and training, but still, for Len was a shock.
