Izuku Midoriya is a 13-year-old middle schooler. to everyone, Izuku seems like the perfect kid; he gets straight A's, he has a cool quirk, he's rich, he's good looking, and he has a good family... or at least everyone thinks. let's back up a little. In actuality, Izuku has experienced crime after crime; trauma after trauma. when Izuku was only 10 years old, he had been a witness to something so sick and sadistic that it would break any grown man, let alone a child. he had witnessed his parents murder. when they had died, they left him their enormous fortune. once he had witnessed his parents' death, he had started wearing masks to cover his mouth and nose. he had also stopped talking, too. every time he heard himself speak, it reminded him of his father's voice. he also had his mother's nose and mouth shape. seeing or hearing himself repulsed him. he couldn't handle the way he remembered their bloody bodies, the life draining from their eyes as their skin paled. their eyes shedding their last tears and their barely audible whispers to him. he couldn't remember their last words. he couldn't remember much of the night.
