Personality

Nejire is naturally a very kind, talkative, and endlessly curious girl who shows great interest in people's unique physical features and is easily distracted by them. Due to this, Nejire can be very blunt, often asking invasive or off-putting questions. Stemming from her days in middle school, Nejire's eagerness to learn more about others drove people away from her, with them all believing that she was looking down on them due to her powerful Quirk. Because of this, she gradually grew into a cold and distant person who kept her emotions bottled in. It wasn't until Tamaki Amajiki, and then Mirio Togata, befriended her during her early days at U.A. that she was able to open her feelings back up again, regaining her confidence. Nejire is an affectionate person and a "free spirit" who has a genuine passion for learning new and strange things and isn't afraid to speak her mind or show how she feels. She seems to like knowing more than others, but not in a proud way, as she enjoys explaining things to people and sharing her knowledge. She is mentioned to act like a kindergartner due to her childish glee. Nejire is enthusiastic, affable, cheery, and always seen moving.

Overall Abilities:

Nejire is one of U.A High School's most powerful students alongside Mirio and Tamaki, collectively known as The Big 3. Like the rest of the Big 3, Nejire's abilities can rival or even surpass that of most Pro Heroes. She has shown on multiple occasions to have incredible mastery over her powerful and versatile Quirk, Wave Motion. Despite Wave Motion's lack of speed, Nejire utilizes the energy surges to boost her mobility. She can quickly close the gap between her and the target before unleashing blast waves at close range. The waves have proven very effective against large enemies who lack speed.[4] Nejire can control how much energy she wants to output and release it from her palms and feet. Nejire can levitate herself with fine control by releasing small amounts under her feet. She can defend herself and use the waves to attack from long range. A combination of the applications above is effective for Nejire controlling a battlefield and keeping her distance.[5] Nejire's abilities not only garnered her the opportunity to be mentored by Ryukyu, the No. 10 (formerly No. 9) Pro Hero but have also proven to be enough to allow Nejire to take on villains that are much larger and physically stronger than she is. At the beginning of the Shie Hassaikai Raid, the Ryukyu Squad acted as the first line of defense against Rikiya Katsukame of the Eight Bullets and were able to subdue him successfully. During the Paranormal Liberation War, Nejire's abilities were proven to surpass most Pro Heroes as she, alongside Shoto Todoroki, managed to overwhelm the enhanced Tomura Shigaraki (albeit he was severely weakened due to his earlier battles). Nejire later held back multiple Near High-End Nomu alongside Mirio Togata, Tenya Ida, and Katsuki Bakugo despite her being burned by Dabi just before the encounter.

Quirk:

Wave Motion (波は動どう, Hadō?): Nejire's Quirk grants her the ability to convert her vitality into energy and release it in the form of exceptionally powerful spiral shockwaves. However, since the energy travels in a spiral, it's not very fast. Additionally, since Nejire uses her own stamina as a power source for her Quirk, overusing it will cause her to suffer from great exhaustion. She has had to train her stamina to overcome this drawback. Nejire can release very powerful shockwaves from her hands as an offensive blast. She can also release the energy from her feet to increase her mobility and allow herself to fly. Nejire can attack with her Quirk in close-range combat, adding more force and power to her kicks and punches. Enhanced Stamina: Due to her Quirk's drawback, Nejire has built intense stamina through training. Due to this feat and the nature of her Quirk, facing Nejire in a drawn-out battle would eventually become a battle of stamina. After her stamina was siphoned by a Trigger-enhanced Rikiya Katsukame, Nejire was still able to hold her own against the Yakuza member for 20 minutes until the Trigger drug wore off, allowing the Ryukyu Squad to defeat him once and for all.[4] When Dabi's flames blasted her, Nejire recovered and helped ward off 4 Near-High Ends despite her burns. Enhanced Durability: Nejire has proven to be relatively resilient, as she survived being scorched by Dabi's flames and emerged with only moderate burns. This resilience is an impressive feat of Nejire's resilience, given that Dabi's firepower exceeds that of Endeavor and can instantly turn his targets to ash. Nejire also survived a torso slash across her face and stomach from Tomura, continuing to fight despite her significant injury.

Ultimate Moves:

Nejire Wave (ねじれる波動グリングウェイヴ, Guringu Weivu?): Nejire charges her Wave Motion output to 30. She then blasts her enemies with two powerful waves from each hand, creating two giant spiral waves. It is strong enough to simultaneously take down two villains with gigantification Quirks.[5] Pike (穿つ槍パイク, Paiku?): Nejire channels her Nejire Wave into a point, to pierce her opponent. She can also redirect it mid-attack.[6] Nejire Flood (ねじれる洪水グリングフロッド, Guringu Furoddo?): Nejire charges her Wave Motion to its maximum output 100. She twists her hands in a spiral formation and releases a massive blast of energy concentrated in both hands toward her opponent.[7] The energy forms a downward spiral waterfall, thus the name "Nejire Flood".

Appearance

Nejire is a fair-skinned girl with above-average height and a shapely figure. While pretty and attractive, according to the boys at U.A. and Yuyu Haya, Nejire is more of the "cute kind" than the "sexy kind." She has wide and curious royal blue eyes with upper eyelashes that are long and thick. Her hair is periwinkle, reaching down to her knees, twisting around itself at her waist, and curving inwards around her legs. She has side-swept bangs, tucked behind her ears on the right and hanging just over her eyes on the left, and two short clumps of hair on either side of her face, curved towards her face on the right and behind it, under her ear, on the left.
