To Kyoura, having a quirk doesn't mean you are a hero and it doesn't make someone a villain either. Having a quirk means that expectations will always be thrust upon you. And when her useful quirk evolved, she was whisked away to U.A. High and her life was effectively ruined.

Years later she's back at the school that took away her freedom, but for a different reason. To teach, yet unbeknownst to her she'll be forced back to be around old company. 

***

Kazuno doesn't know why she wants to be a hero, only that she wants to help people. And that's what she'll do, even if it means getting herself involved in situations she shouldn't. With a not so useful, and not to mention disorienting quirk she didn't even think she'd make it into the esteemed school.

Accepted into the school, albeit not in the hero course she thought she could make a difference. And the first difference she wanted to make happened to be sitting not too far from her.All Rights Reserved

Underestimated (MHA x Male Reader) by Some_Emo_Guy

A MHA x Reader Insert story. You were born with a very unique quirk. A quirk with a lot of mystery. What it lacked in power, it more than made up for in resourcefulness. As a child, this quirk helped you make friends and kept you the center of attention. Unfortunately, people never saw what it was really capable of. So, after reaching junior high, it was viewed as useless. You were told repeatedly that you could never be a Hero. But you're not a quitter. You will prove them wrong. NOTE: Much of this fanfic is written from a first person perspective of the Reader Character. This is for the sake of immersion. You may or may not enjoy that perspective. Thanks. I do not own My Hero Academia, it's characters, or any of the images in the chapters. 8/27/23 #2 in mha #2 in malereader 4/23/24 #1 in class1a 5/13/24 #1 in boku 6/29/24 #2 in quirk 9/9/24 #1 in malereader 12/23/24 #3 in anime 12/28/24 #1 in mhaxreader 1/14/25 #1 in insert

Stains of Hero -MaleReader x MHA- by BoredVulpis

In a world full of unique, powerful quirks, you were born with one that wasn't all the interesting. Sure, weird and wacky quirks appeared all the time and eventually, with a lot of hard work, can be harnessed into something greater. Great enough to carry the title of hero! But with a quirk like yours, everyone thought it was best you got in the family business instead. Your fate was sealed the second they saw you painting without a brush. You were told you were supposed to move to the States. Go to school and eventually start working at that fancy studio your uncle owned with a close friend of his. Your future was set and written as far as you knew. So why did you want to become a hero? What changed your mind? What made you stay? To try and become something you clearly weren't. Well, scary old drawings aren't that threatning until they start to move. And when they started to talk. Boy, were they convincing. I do not own My Hero Academia, Bendy and the Ink Machine, or any of the photos and videos used here. This is a fanfic.

The Only Ending // A BNHA OC STORY by justhere4fun123

Heroes don't exist. That's what Nariko Mitsumi believed. Heroes were simple beings working for money, fame, and popularity. Heroes were supposed to protect and save others when needed. However, it seemed those rules didn't apply to her. Ever since that day, Nariko hated heroes, so she thought why not become one herself? The only person who could save her was herself. Betrayal, devotion, suffering, revenge. The simple life she had dreamed of was ruined before it began and secrets unraveled, certainly nothing she had expected. *This is an oc story where Nariko and some other characters I created are part of the Bnha story. *Features original Art. *THIS IS NOT A SELF INSERT!

(Y/n) admired him a lot so when she heard that her family was going back to Japan, she wanted to tell him all about her Quirk. But sadly, when they got there, she was told that her grandfather died. They didn't stay there for long though, after their visit to Japan, they went back to America. Then 9 years later, (Y/n)'s parents decided to go back in Japan. To finally live there.
