Tsuyu

Class 1-A (1年ねんAエー組ぐみ, Ichi-nen Ē-gumi?) is the homeroom class of the main protagonist Izuku Midoriya and one of the main settings of My Hero Academia. There were twenty total students during Izuku's time there. Class 1-A is formed at the beginning of the school year and one of the two Hero Course classes, the other being Class 1-B. Class 1-A received six of the top ten scorers on the U.A. Entrance Exam (Katsuki Bakugo, Eijiro Kirishima, Ochaco Uraraka, Tenya Ida, Izuku Midoriya, and Fumikage Tokoyami), and two of the four students admitted by recommendation (Shoto Todoroki and Momo Yaoyorozu). Izuku and Momo would be elected the class president and vice president respectively, though the former would soon give his position over to Tenya.

Just days into beginning their time at U.A., Class 1-A would find themselves at the center of the U.S.J. Incident, which saw the League of Villains attacking the Unforeseen Simulation Joint with the intention of killing U.A. teacher All Might. After every student survived the encounter, this would prove to be a trial-by-fire for the class. In addition to being mentally jumpstarted in dealing with Villains, the class, despite still having some differences, would soon become fiercely loyal to each other. Many onlookers observed that the class learned from the incident to never hesitate in combat, which allowed them to perform incredibly well during the U.A. Sports Festival. In fact, thirteen of the class' students made it to the final round among sixteen possible slots. Ten of the students would receive invitations for Hero Agency Internships after the festival, with all participating in them.

Tsuyu is straightforward and aloof, speaking bluntly from her mind and freely expressing what she thinks about others. Tsuyu prefers to be called "Tsu" (梅雨ちゃん, Tsuyu-chan) but only by people she views as friends.[6] She commonly refers to everyone with the honorific "-chan", save for teachers and other authority figures.

Tsuyu holds Ochaco hand Tsuyu calming down a scared Ochaco. Tsuyu's parents were always busy at work, requiring her to become the caretaker of her two younger siblings at a young age. Under these circumstances, Tsuyu grew into a highly mature and responsible individual who could divide her attention between school and home duties without letting one intervene with the other. This balance also means that Tsuyu knows how to lead and look after people, keeping them safe and at ease if they don't feel so. She has strong morals, goals, and principles and is willing to oppose her friends to defend them from rash decisions. When several members of Class 1-A agreed to rescue Katsuki Bakugo after the Vanguard Action Squad Invasion, Tsuyu was the most outspoken against it, asserting that acting on their emotions and breaking the law to rescue him made them essentially the same as Villains.[7]

Tsuyu is a short girl of a relatively slender build and has notably large hands. Her appearance is rather frog-like; she has a wide mouth, which dips down a little in the middle just like a common frog, and oval-shaped eyes with large, black irises, their lower eyelashes visibly pronounced. Amongst her family, Tsuyu's frog-like traits are the least pronounced. She also demonstrates some frog-like mannerisms, such as hopping on all fours instead of running and holding herself in a way that is somewhat connotative of a frog.

Her hair is a dark sea-green color and is very long, reaching to her hips with the ends tied together at the bottom in a large bow of hair. She has two armpit-length clumps framing her face and shorter bangs between her eyes, some partially swept to each side.
