In a world where quirks define heroism, Y/N Mizushima faces an uphill battle-not just against villains, but against her own self-doubt. Born into a family with a legacy of water-based quirks, Y/N struggles to live up to the expectations set by her retired pro-hero mother while contending with her father's deep fears of losing her to the dangers of hero life. Her quirk, the ability to manipulate water, holds untapped potential, but it often slips out of control, leaving her feeling like a wave crashing against an immovable shore.
Accepted into U.A. High School, Y/N is thrust into the competitive and high-stakes world of hero training alongside her peers in Class 1-A. Between grueling exams, terrifying villain attacks, and the mounting pressure to master her unpredictable quirk, Y/N's journey is anything but easy. Along the way, she forms deep friendships with her classmates, including the determined and selfless Izuku Midoriya, whose own struggles inspire her to keep pushing forward.
As Y/N's quirk begins to evolve, so too does her bond with Izuku, though their relationship remains clouded by the ever-present dangers of hero work and the emotional walls they've both built. Through battles, personal growth, and moments of vulnerability, Y/N must learn to balance the expectations of her family with her own desires to become a hero worthy of standing alongside the best.
But with each new challenge, Y/N finds herself at the mercy of her own rising tides-pushing her to the brink of her abilities and forcing her to confront the question: will she learn to control the waters within, or will they drown her dreams of becoming a hero?
âš ð™½ðš˜ðšðšŽ: Before diving into the main story, its highly recommended reading the "Information" Chapter. It includes important details about the characters and some essential warnings. It will help you fully understand the emotional depth ahead.
Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou were playing at the playground like always when a young girl their age came into their lives.
It was nice at first, until both Bakugou and Gina developed a quirk of their own. As for Izuku, he unfortunately never gained a quirk, and to make matters worse he was bullied badly by his childhood friend Bakugou while his other friend Gina mysteriously disappears without saying goodbye.
Years have gone by.
Izuku Midoriya is now attending at one of the most prestigious schools in all of Japan, UA High; however, his world was about to change when he finally meets an old friend that he thought he wasn't never going to see again.
Disclaimer: This story will be following the MHA universe (with some add-ons of my own) so spoilers ahead if you're not caught up with the show. Also, there will be some content that could be disturbing so beware. For the record, I do not owe any of the characters from the show other than a few OCs that will be included into the story, I am just a fan who enjoys writing fanfic.
