Personality

Other students have described Ochaco as "the most laid-back girl" among her class, being very bubbly and kind of airheaded at times. She is often incredibly blunt without realizing it. Much like Izuku Midoriya, Ochaco's reactions tend to be exaggerated and humorous: she is often amused by certain personality traits and quirks that others exhibit, bursting into laughter at times, which she attempts to suppress.

Ochaco is a very warm and lively person who thinks of everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws as well as virtues. She is empathetic in general, friendly to those she meets, and will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or who needs help. Ochaco seems to be very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo's rivalry and being the first to notice when Tsuyu Asui was upset. Her empathy and kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates. She is on good terms with everyone and is particularly close friends with several members of the class, including Izuku, Tenya Iida, Tsuyu, etc.

Ochaco is also greatly inspired by her classmates, especially Izuku, whom she finds admirable for both his strength and compassion. Ochaco has developed a crush on him due to this and their close friendship, resulting in her attempts to follow his example, for better or worse. While he inspires her, Ochaco also recognizes that heroism takes precedence over her romantic feelings, and does her best to continue growing while keeping them in check. Izuku has also led her to consider the question of who protects the heroes when they need them, as he continually throws himself into dangerous situations; this prominently displays how deeply Ochaco cares for him and others. Despite her generally cheerful and sometimes giddy demeanor, Ochaco can take on an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat intimidating attitude when the situation calls for it. This side may come as a surprise to those who are used to her bubbly nature, and tends to come out during competitive situations such as the U.A. Sports Festival. While she is shown to be surprisingly strategic, she is not above making some impulsive or reckless decisions. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochaco is unwavering and does not like to be underestimated, even in the face of overwhelming force.

Coming from a poor household, Ochaco is easily excited or shocked by small things, even losing her composure when faced with royal luxury, to the point of fainting. Bonus materials have depicted her as frugal and occasionally stingy, as she goes to great lengths to save money, including sleeping so as not to waste oxygen or skipping meals to save food.

Ochaco's parents are her main drive to become a hero and she desires, above all, to earn money to give them a comfortable life. She is unabashedly honest about her priorities and makes no secret of her pursuit of heroism due in large part to money, despite her embarrassment in admitting it. While money was a deciding factor in her decision to become a hero, Ochaco dreamed of becoming one before realizing the extent of her father's ambition.

In terms of heroism, Ochaco has shown more of a preference for rescue, being a fan of No.13 for his expertise in the area. She is aware of her physical limitations and decides to choose the combat-oriented hero Gunhead for her internship in order to increase her fighting repertoire. Consequently, Ochaco developed a new sense of battle awareness and has become a more instinctive fighter.

Ochaco is a short girl with a slim but feminine build. She is fair-skinned with a perpetual blush on her cheeks. Her eyes are large and round, her hair is a warm brown with fairly thick upper eyelashes, two longer and more prominent ones sticking outwards on each side and fewer lower eyelashes, but more pronounced individually.

Shoulder-length and almost the same color as her eyes, her hair is wavy and curled inwards at the ends, two longer strands that take the same shape on either side of her face, and short bangs that reach about a quarter of her height in front. On the upper inner segment of each of her fingers, she has a small pink pad, somewhat resembling a cat's toe or a dog's paw that she uses when activating and deactivating her Quirk.

During school she wears the normal UA uniform, only with black tights instead of the knee-high socks her other classmates wear.

Her Hero Outfit consists of a full-body black suit with a pale pink design on the middle of her torso, two black circles on her chest, and a black rectangle below her waist running between her legs. There are two more pink patches above her shoulders, both cut off by darker pink armbands that match the thick choker around her neck. She has circular wrist guards, a dark pink handle on the back of each, wide knee-high boots with magenta soles, and a two-piece belt around her waist, a circle embedded in the center where the pieces meet, a helmet with a tinted visor sometimes worn on her head, all of which are the same pale pink color. The accessories are designed to press on her acupuncture points and the stiffness of her suit's skin is apparently a mistake due to her not being specific in her design request.[3]

His costume is updated during the events of the Endeavor Agency arc. The belt around his waist has been altered. His arm gauntlets have been changed and the rings protrude on the side and he no longer has a glass visor in front of his face.

After the Sports Festival, she trained with Gunhead to improve her hand-to-hand combat skills, becoming an even more formidable individual. Ochaco also possesses keen senses and quick reflexes, such as when Himiko Toga was attempting to attack her and she reacted quickly enough to dodge and pin her to the ground. Ochaco's overall skills make her one of the strongest students in hand-to-hand combat in her class.

When not engaging an opponent in melee combat, Ochaco often takes advantage of devastated areas by using her Quirk to pick up debris without an opponent noticing, all while expertly exploiting the collateral damage of a destructive Quirk. Ochaco can release floating debris upon enemies as a long-range projectile attack or remove the weight of certain heavy structures, holding them down to use as an improvised melee weapon.

Ochaco uses her speed and combat skills to quickly subdue Himiko Toga.

This ability to easily clear disaster zones also makes her useful for rescue missions. Ochaco can use Zero Gravity to eliminate her own weight while increasing her body's agility, make allies weightless so they can be carried, and create decoys by making objects levitate slightly above the ground.

During the USJ Incident, Ochaco was able to temporarily immobilize Kurogiri, giving Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato an opening to subdue the villain. Ochaco has also proven her worth at the UA Sports Festival, when she faced Katsuki, despite being at a disadvantage at close range, and knowing that Katsuki's skills far exceeded her own, Ochaco managed to catch him off guard a few times during their battle, as well as pressure him into using his full power, even if it was just for an instant.

Tactical Intellect: While not academically the most proficient in her class, Ochaco possesses a strategic mind that is able to deduce an enemy's weaknesses and combat style shortly after the battle begins. Ochaco likely developed this to help cover up her initial lack of combat skills. While Kurogiri was trying to subdue Tenya Iida, Ochaco noticed Kurogiri's neck armor, which she realized was a weak point, allowing Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato to briefly subdue the villain and giving Tenya the opportunity to get reinforcements from UA.

Ochaco's abilities caught the attention of Nejire Hado, the third strongest student in AU and the Big Three, who recommended both Ochaco and Tsuyu to intern at her side under the tutelage of Ryukyu, the No. 10 Heroine (formerly No. 9). Even with their stamina depleted, Ochaco along with Tsuyu and Nejire were able to effectively aid Ryukyu against Rikiya Katsukame, one of the Shie Hassaikai.

During the team sparring battle, Ochaco was able to subdue the unpredictable and cunning Neito Monoma, immobilizing the latter's attempt to replicate Izuku's Quirk. When an immobilized Neito attempted to use Reiko Yanagi's copied Quirk to throw a metal pipe at Ochaco, her quick reflexes allowed her to effortlessly dodge the surprise attack. Ochaco was then able to quickly defeat Reiko Yanagi and Yui Kodai with a single attack each.

in martial arts to attack at close range more effectively benefiting her Quirk in combat. She has mastered various forms of attack, takedowns, and throws through the use of force, including the force of her opponents against themselves. Her skill is enough to easily dispatch an opponent attempting to stab her and incapacitate her, as shown with No. 13 a Pro Hero and Himiko a C-rank villain. Enhanced Toughness: Through intense training, Ochaco gained great physical endurance. Ochaco was able to withstand powerful blasts from Katsuki during their sparring match and when much of her vitality was stolen by a Trigger-enhanced Rikiya, Ochaco was still able to stand and fight the Yakuza member for 20 minutes until Trigger wore off and the Ryukyu Squad defeated him.

Sometimes her strategic ability is questioned or credited by others and Katsuki hints at this by recalling that she was Izuku's friend from his Meteor Shower attempt, and he assumed that she had mentored her. Ochaco on the other hand had shown great strategic ability on her own merit, as seen when she had rejected Izuku's offer of help during the Sports Festival. Katsuki himself noted that it was a close call for him when he had to use all of his power to neutralize Ochaco's strategy, implying that if he hadn't noticed her Meteor Shower technique Ochaco would have defeated him. She was also able to discern that the clocks on Neito's Hero Suit are how he checks the time limits of the quirks he has copied.

Zero Gravity (無重力ゼログラビティ Zero Gurabiti ?): Ochaco's Quirk allows her to remove the effects of gravity from solid things (living and non-living) by touching them with her fingertips. She is able to activate or cancel the effects of her Quirk by closing her fingers.

Targets lose their gravitational pulls the moment Ochaco makes contact with them, rendering the touched object or objects weightless. Ochaco can make any solid thing float in the air as long as it is within the weight limit of her Quirk, which is around three tons.

As part of her training, Ochaco placed herself in a plastic sphere that would fall down a mountain, all in an effort to accustom her inner ear canals to zero gravity and reduce nausea, all while increasing the amount of weight she can lift.

Super MovesRelease (解除 Kaijo?): Ochaco can press her fingers together and do whatever she's touched in a floating stop. This move is first used against robot villains and when she saved Izuku from falling to his death in the UA Entrance Exam.[5]Meteor Avalanche (メテオストーム Meteosutōmu Kaijo?): After floating away a large amount of debris around her, Ochaco can collect the damaged structures collaterally, forming a giant meteor of debris above her opponents which she then causes to fall. She first used this move during her match against Katsuki Bakugo.[6]Meteor Fafrotskies (メテオファフロッキーズ Meteo Fafurokkīzu?): Together with Tsuyu, the two of them stand up and throw various debris at targets. It is a stronger, multi-ranged version of Meteor Shower. This move was first used against two villains with Gigantification Quirks during the internships.[7]

Home Run Comet (彗すい星せいホームラン Suisei Hōmuran ?): After knocking some rubble and a pillar weightless, Ochaco uses the pillar to forcefully slam the rubble into her enemy. This move was first used to distract Tenya during their battle.[8]Zero Satellites (ゼロ・サテライツ Zero Sateraitsu ?): Upon being knocked into some nearby rubble, Ochaco causes it to float and with the addition of her grappling hooks, attacks her opponent by slamming the rubble directly into them.[9]Gravity Plus (グラビティ プラス Gurabiti Purasu ?): By combining the Gunhead Martial Arts with her Quirk, Ochaco is able to come up with a super move with which to defeat her opponents. She first used this Super Move to defeat a Trigger dealer.[10]Spacewalk (スペースウォーク Supēsuwōku ?): Ochaco uses her grappling hooks to latch onto her opponent and quickly close in, closing the distance between them while keeping her Quirk, Zero Gravity, activated. She first used this move during the Final War to dodge Himiko Toga's Sad Man's Death Parade attack.[11]

Hero Suit: All aspects of Ochaco's Hero Suit were made for the sole purpose of helping Ochaco minimize the negative effects of her Quirk.

Helmet: This equipment reduces stimulation of the semicircular canals located inside each ear. Wrists: The interior of this equipment contains a device that closes and releases like a blood pressure meter, stimulating pressure points around the wrist area which suppress nausea.Neck: This equipment stimulates the pressure points around the neck area, which reduces headache.Leg: The design of this equipment was to break your fall from elevation. The sole of the toes is equipped with a shock-absorbing cushion and its heel contains a reinforced spring to soften the shock.
