Personality

Ochaco is a warm, cute, lively individual who thinks about everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She is generally empathetic and friendly to those she meets, and she will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or needs assistance. Ochaco is very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Izuku and Katsuki Bakugo's rivalry, and being the first to notice when the usually collected 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 class members, including Izuku, Tenya Ida, Tsuyu, etc. Despite her cheery and sometimes ditzy demeanor, Ochaco can take on an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat intimidating attitude when the situation demands it. This side of her personality can surprise those who are used to her generally bubbly nature, and it tends to appear during competitive situations like the U.A. Sports Festival. While she is shown to be surprisingly strategic, she isn't above making some impulsive or reckless decisions. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochaco is unwavering and dislikes being underestimated, even in the face of an overwhelming force.

Physical Appearancen

Ochaco is a short girl with a slender yet curvy figure, fair skin, and auburn hair with eyes that match in color. She has perpetual pink blush marks on her cheeks, and her eyes are large and round with thick upper lashes, two more extended and more prominent ones on either side and fewer but more individually pronounced lower lashes. Her hair is shoulder-length with short bangs, and the style is bobbed with two long strands framing her face. She has small, thick pads on her fingertips similar to the digits of an animal's paws; she uses these when activating and deactivating her Quirk.

Costume

Her initial hero costume consists of a black, full-body suit with a pale pink design down the middle of her torso, topped with two black semi-spheres on her chest, two pink stripes starting at her midsection, a deep pink choker, and two-toned pink sleeves with cuffs. It also has matching pale and deep pink-colored accessories, including round gauntlets with handles, which are used to increase and decrease her blood pressure, chunky, knee-high boots with deep pink shock-absorbent soles and grey heels that have stiff springs in them to soften landings, and a two-piece belt with a round buckle. She sometimes wears matching headgear with a tinted visor as well, which is used to lessen stress on her ear canals. Her accessories are designed to press her acupuncture points, but the tightness of her costume was an error due to her not being specific enough in her request for its design (though it's implied that she has grown into it as she still hasn't gotten it replaced).

School Unifrom

At U.A, she wears the regular U.A. uniform for female students. It is topped with a gray dress jacket, two teal stripes, two pockets with folds, and two golden buttons. Underneath, she wears a white dress shirt, a red tie with a small, golden button, and a teal pleated skirt. She also wears brown dress shoes and black leggings instead of the usual knee-high socks worn by most other female students.

P. E Outfit

Overall Abilities

Overall Abilities: At first glance, Ochaco doesn't seem like one of the strongest combatants, but over her time at U.A. High School, she has drastically improved her combat prowess to become a more competent combatant. Her abilities earned her 3rd place in the U.A. Entrance Exam and 10th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Ochaco's main battle tactic consists of getting close to her opponent and using her Quirk, Zero Gravity, to directly affect them, causing her targets to continuously float up and lose their footing, drastically inhibiting their fighting capabilities. Ochaco also utilizes floating rubble as projectile attacks, or remove the weight of heavy structures, holding onto them to be used as improvised melee weapons. Ochaco can use Zero Gravity to remove her weight, increase her agility, and create decoys by making objects levitate above the ground. Ochaco's overall abilities make her one of the strongest female students in her class. Ochaco takes out Reiko and Yui Ochaco showcases her improvement at the Joint Training. During the U.S.J. Incident, Ochaco was able to temporarily immobilize Kurogiri, thereby giving Hanta Sero and Rikido Sato an opening to subdue the villain even further. Ochaco has also proven her mettle at the U.A. Sports Festival, wherein she was pitted against Katsuki, one of the most powerful students in Class 1-A. Despite having a disadvantage at close range and knowing Katsuki's abilities far exceeded her own, Ochaco managed to catch him by surprise a few times during their battle and pressure him into using his full power. Following the Sports Festival, she trained under the Battle Hero: Gunhead to improve her hand-to-hand combat skills, becoming an even more formidable individual. Ochaco also developed keen senses and quick reflexes, as she could discern when Himiko Toga was attempting to attack her and reacted quickly enough to dodge and pin the villain to the ground.

Martial Arts

Gunhead Martial Arts (ガンヘッド マーシャル アーツ, Gan Heddo Māsharu Ātsu?): When she worked under Gunhead, Ochaco was trained in martial arts to attack at close range more effectively, benefiting her Quirk in combat. She has mastered several forms of grappling, take-downs, and throws using force, including her opponents' force against themselves. Her skill is enough to easily dispatch an opponent who surprisingly tries to stab her and incapacitate them, as shown with Thirteen and Himiko Toga, a dangerous villain. Ochaco has developed a few moves that she can use with her Quirk.

Tactical Intellect

Tactical Intellect: While Ochaco isn't the most academically efficient of her class, she makes up for it with her strategic mind and ability to deduce an enemy's weaknesses and combat style soon after the battle begins. Ochaco likely developed this to help cover for her initial lack of direct combat abilities. When she isn't facing opponents in close-quarters combat, Ochaco takes advantage of ravaged areas by using her Quirk to gather wreckage without an opponent noticing, exploiting the collateral damage of ensued destruction. As Kurogiri attempted to subdue Tenya Ida, Ochaco took notice of the villain's neck armor, realized it was a weak point, and exploited it, allowing Hanta and Rikido to briefly subdue the shrouded villain and giving Tenya a chance to seek reinforcements from U.A. High. Her strategic skill is sometimes doubted by or accredited to others, and this is hinted at by Katsuki, who remembered her being friends with Izuku from her attempted Meteor Storm and assumed he was the one responsible for advising her. On the contrary, Ochaco had demonstrated great strategic ability on her merit, as seen by declining Izuku's offer for help during the Sports Festival. Katsuki himself noted that it was a close call for him when he had to use his full power to neutralize Ochaco's strategy, implying that if he hadn't noticed her Meteor Storm technique, Ochaco would've defeated him. She also discerned that the watches on Neito's Hero costume are how the latter keeps track of the time limits of the Quirks he has copied.

Indomitable Will

Indomitable Will: Ochaco's willpower is one of her greatest strengths. It is characterized by her persistent pursuit of her goals, her ability to confront and overcome fears, and her steadfast commitment to her ideals as a hero. From the beginning, Ochaco demonstrates a strong sense of resolve and purpose. Her initial motivation to become a hero stem from a desire to provide financial support for her family, but this evolves as she gains experience and faces challenges

Quirk

Zero Gravity (無重力ゼログラビティ, Zero Gurabiti?): Ochaco's Quirk gives her the power to nullify the effects of gravity on solid targets (living and nonliving) by touching them with the pads on her fingertips, causing them to become weightless and float. She is able to cancel the effect of her Quirk by touching her finger pads together. Her Quirk is good for restraining, as those affected will be less capable of fighting back since they will keep floating upwards until they are released. Ochaco takes advantage of ravaged areas to gather wreckage while also exploiting the consequences of a destructive Quirk. She can easily clean up disaster zones while simultaneously figuring out the timing of her movements so as not to damage others. The main drawback of Ochaco's Quirk is that if the upper weight limit (around three tons) is exceeded, or if Ochaco floats herself, she will suffer from severe nausea. As part of her training, Ochaco considerably reduced resultant nausea and increased her weight limit, as well as developed her ability to float herself for short periods of time without becoming nauseous. During the Final War in her battle against Himiko, Ochaco's Quirk undergoes an Awakening, allowing the effects of her Zero Gravity to spread among different targets touching each other, without Ochaco having to touch them all herself.[6] This Awakening also removed Ochaco's weight limit of three tons and allowed her to set down her weightless targets in a slower fashion, and without pressing her fingertips together.

Ochaco Uraraka (麗うらら日かお茶ちゃ子こ, Uraraka Ochako?), also known as Uravity (ウラビティ, Urabiti?), is one of the main protagonists of My Hero Academia and was a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Hero. Background: Ochaco Uraraka's parents own a construction business that hasn't gotten a particularly significant amount of business in years, which affected their lifestyle. Neither of their Quirks are compatible with the jobs, but their daughter's is. Even as a small child, Ochaco desired to help her family out in any way she could, wanting to work for them and use her Quirk to help them make money. That way, they could reduce labor costs and sell their heavy lifting equipment. However, her father always told Ochaco that the way to truly make him and her mother happy would be for their daughter to achieve her own dreams. As a result, she aspires to become a Pro Hero, wanting to help people and make enough money to give her parents an easy life. It was due to her parents exhaustion that Ochaco, even at a young age, always wanted and loved to see people happy. Whenever she had an encounter with a hero, she found herself always looking to the cheering people that were happy at the hero's presence.

Entrance Exam Arc: Ochaco attends the U.A. Highschool Entrance Exams. She notices Izuku Midoriya tripping and uses her Quirk to float his body, preventing him from falling over. She apologizes for using her Quirk on Izuku without permission. She nervously admits to him her concerns about the test and departs by wishing him good luck.[3] During the practical portion of the exam, Ochaco scores twenty-eight points by using her Quirk on the Villain Bots. Suddenly, a gigantic villain bot appears and tears apart the testing arena. Ochaco gets caught under debris as the robot approaches, putting her in danger of being crushed. Izuku puts his safety aside and rushes to her aid, the young man then uses his Quirk for the first time and destroys the giant villain bot with one powerful blow, much to Ochaco's shock.[4] Izuku Falling (Anime) Ochaco saves Izuku. However, Izuku breaks both his legs and his right arm in the process and begins to free fall. Ochaco frees herself from the debris in time to save Izuku from falling from the great height. She smacks him just in time and uses her powers to float him as he's about to crash. The exams end shortly after. Ochaco returns to U.A. after the exams and asks Present Mic if she can transfer some of the points she'd earned onto Izuku. She tells Present Mic that Izuku had a zero score and that she needed to repay him for saving her. Present Mic thanks Ochaco for stopping by, but Izuku earned enough rescue points to pass. Ochaco also earned forty-five rescue points. Combined with her villain points, this places Ochaco third in the exam.[5] She is with her mother when she receives the results of the exam. After learning that she got into U.A. High, she and her mother burst into tears while her mother takes a picture of Ochaco's crying face to celebrate the moment.

Quirk Apprehension Test Arc:Ochaco is the last person to arrive in Class 1-A on the first day of school. She happens upon Izuku and Tenya talking at the door. Izuku is clearly embarrassed, but this doesn't stop Ochaco from telling him how awesome his punch from the exam was. A man clad in a sleeping bag, lying on the ground appears behind the trio. They are frightened when he tells them that they're taking up too much time chatting. This man introduces himself as Shota Aizawa: their homeroom teacher. He immediately tells the class to dress in their P.E. attire and go to the training grounds. Ochaco is concerned that they will miss orientation, but Shota claims there isn't any time for formalities.[7] Class 1-A follows Shota outside, where he announces that they will undergo Quirk apprehension tests to determine their standing in the class. The person who places last will be immediately expelled. Ochaco expresses that she feels this is unfair to the students. Shota replies that many of the world's disasters are unfair and that the students will need to "Go Beyond" that. In the fifty meter-dash, Ochaco uses her Quirk: "Zero Gravity" to negate the gravitational pull on her clothes and shoes. The added speed allows her to finish in 7.15 seconds, which is faster than her previous score from junior high. On the pitch test, Ochaco achieves an infinite score by floating the ball into the atmosphere.[8] Izuku goes next, but Shota erases his Quirk to stop him from breaking his arm. Izuku recognizes him as the Pro Hero Eraser Head, but Ochaco and other students do not recognize that name. Then Izuku throws the ball over seven hundred meters though he breaks his finger and Ochaco cheers him on.

Ochaco places tenth out of the class while Izuku comes in last. Just when Izuku believes he's been expelled, Shota reveals that no one is going home and that threat was just a logical deception. Ochaco and most of the students are shocked by this revelation. Afterward, Ochaco catches up with Izuku and Tenya to ask them if they want to walk to the station together. She recognizes Tenya by his name but accidentally calls Izuku by his nickname Deku. Izuku explains that Deku is a nickname that Katsuki uses to bully him. Ochaco apologizes, then reveals she likes the name Deku. She says it would make a great hero name and that it's cute. Ochaco and her new friends Tenya and Deku walk home together.

All Might announces their first lesson will be combat training. Ochaco and her peers dress in their new costumes and meet their teacher at training ground beta. She tells Izuku she likes how simple his costume is, but dislikes how her own costume is too tight on her. All Might begins to explain the Battle Trial the students will undertake but gets interrupted when Ochaco and others keep asking questions. The students are paired up into teams of two and will fight match-battles inside buildings. One team will be designated as the heroes while the other will be the villains. The objective of the heroes is to capture the villains or recover the payload the villains protect. Class 1-A draws lots to choose their partner and Ochaco ends up with Izuku as her partner. All Might chooses their opponent at random as well. Ochaco and Izuku are chosen to be the hero team up against Katsuki and Tenya. They wait outside the building for five minutes after their opponents enter. Ochaco tells Izuku that she's excited to be able to see All Might up close. Her enthusiasm is interrupted when she realizes Izuku is so nervous that he's sweating through his costume. Izuku admits that he's afraid to face Katsuki because of how powerful he is. He goes on to say that he must do better and that he won't lose in the Battle Trial. Ochaco says it's a fated battle between rivals and that they will win as a team.

The Battla Trial Arc (Second Half): They enter the building and Ochaco follows Izuku around the narrow corridors until Katsuki surprise attacks them. Izuku grabs Ochaco in time for both of them to evade Katsuki's explosion. Katsuki attacks again, but Izuku catches his arm and uses a shoulder toss to counter and slam Katsuki onto the ground. Ochaco cheers as she watches Izuku tell Katsuki that "Deku" is the name of a hero. Katsuki recovers and kicks Izuku. Izuku tells Ochaco to go ahead without him while he fights Katsuki. Ochaco reaches Tenya and the fake bomb on the floors above. She walks in on Tenya getting himself into the villainous mindset. Ochaco finds this funny and lets her guard down by laughing out loud. Tenya notices her and reveals that he's removed anything for Ochaco to float from the room. As he monologues over his plan, Ochaco contacts Izuku and tells him she found the payload in the middle of the fifth floor. Katsuki uses a giant explosion to attack Izuku that shakes the entire building. In the chaos, Ochaco floats herself and makes a jump for the weapon. However, Tenya is too fast for her and uses his Quirk to keep it out of her reach.

End of the Battle Trail Arc:Izuku and Ochaco come up with a plan where the former uses his Quirk to break up the higher floors of the building. This gives Ochaco the opening and the tools to use her Quirk effectively. She swings a large pillar to send stones flying at Tenya, nicknaming the technique Comet Home Run. While Tenya avoids the attack, Ochaco jumps onto the payload and wins the Battle Trial.[12] Following their battle trial, Ochaco, Tenya, and Katsuki are critiqued in the monitoring room. All Might declares Tenya the MVP of the trial and asks the class why he chose Tenya. Momo answers his question. She says Ochaco dropped her guard mid-battle and she took advantage of the trial by using an imprecise special move. Izuku returns to class later on. Ochaco walks in with Denki soon after and immediately runs over to Izuku. She is concerned about his wounds but he tells her that he's fine. He asks where Katsuki went. She tells him Katsuki left and Izuku goes after him.
