Petals in the ashes (Shoto Todoroki x Black oc)

Kaiori's life has been defined by rejection-abandoned by her mother, born without a quirk, and raised under the harsh discipline of her pro-hero grandfather. While her grandmother's love is her only refuge, it's never enough to shield her from the world's cruelty. Just when she's ready to give up, Kaiori discovers her quirk-late, but powerful-and with it, a new sense of purpose. Retreating to a cherry blossom meadow to process this change, she meets a boy with heterochromatic eyes, carrying his own dark past. Together, they form an unlikely bond, finding solace and strength in each other's scars. In a world that's always told her she's not enough, Kaiori is about to discover the power of friendship-and the courage to embrace the beauty within herself.
