UA Academy

Sammy, a short guy who had always been insecure about his physical appearance, always compared himself to other boys—whether it was because they were tall, because of their build, or their personalities. He always told himself he wasn't handsome...

He entered UA with the goal of becoming a hero. He was kind and very sociable, and thanks to that, he made many friends. He cared deeply for his classmates (Class 1-A) since they always cheered him up whenever he felt sad; even some of the teachers were fond of him because of his great and lovely personality.

Although deep down, he continued comparing himself to his friends: he compared himself to Kirishima for how manly he was, to Bakugo for his strength, to Todoroki for his seriousness, to Denki for his cheerfulness, and to Sero for his ability to make people laugh. It was simply something that happened without him even thinking about it.

Vacation arrived, and everyone was happy to leave, but you had only one thing on your mind... changing. When classes resumed and you arrived at the academy, they simply didn't recognize you. Your naturally white hair was now brown with a blonde streak, you started wearing a different style, and you began wearing slightly baggy clothes—just enough for you to like them. Whereas before you wore platform shoes because of your height, now you wore normal shoes, making your short stature more evident. Still, your personality remained the same, but without a doubt, you had a "glow up."
