Ethereal | OC X Bakugou

Ethereal

Her mother and twin brother - gone in a single, bloodstained moment. Left behind was the ghost of a girl, bound to a future she never wanted and a past she refuses to talk about.

Entering U.A high with a powerful quirk, she kept everyone at arm's length.

Until Bakugou Katsuki starts noticing her for all the wrong reasons - and eventually, maybe for the right ones.

What begins as tension and rivalry slowly evolves into something far more complicated. Amid fiery clashes, unguarded moments, and a connection neither of them can fully understand, Himari starts to realize-someone might see the fractures beneath her armor... and choose to stay anyway.

But when buried truths claw their way to the surface - when a mission uncovers a villain syndicate with ties to the night that destroyed her family - everything begins to unravel: her trust, her purpose, and the lie she's been forced to live.

Because Himari was never meant to survive that night.

And some ghosts don't rest until they have their revenge.

Dark, intimate, and laced with sorrow - Ethereal is a slow-burn tragedy wrapped in heroism, trauma, and the question of what makes someone worth saving - especially if they've already decided they aren't.
