Minami Aizawa is the daughter of Shota Aizawa, pro hero Eraserhead, and Kou Sugita, a secretary from the Hero Public Safety Commision. Shortly after Minami was born, Kou was diagnosed with a terminal illness and spent much of her daughter's childhood in and out of hospitals. From the time Minami was born, she was surrounded by pro heroes, all friends of her father, who often helped out when her mother's state worsened. Overcome by the knowledge that she would one day lose her mother, and most likely lose her young, Minami came to resent heroes who she viewed as selfish, citing their choice to go out and put themselves into danger when they had people waiting at home for them. She often expressed frustration insisting that heroes could never save everyone, and they'd likely die one day trying. Secretly her resentment stemmed from fear of losing her father and the loved ones she came to know, and was relieved that as a teacher her father, typically, saw less active combat.
Her mother's condition took a turn for the worse as she entered high school, and within a few months she went from being in the hospital full time to passing away. Shortly after a friend of Minami's also lost his life in a training accident while studying to be a pro hero. Profoundly affected by these losses happening so close to each other she finally realized why heroes put their lives on the line to save people everyday. They could never save everyone, but it was worth it to even just save one. And every time they couldn't save someone they carried that person in their hearts from that day forward and worked harder for them every day so that next time, maybe they could save everyone.
Entering her second year of high school, Minami switched her studies to join the hero course at her school. Working extra hard to make up for all she missed being a year late, she often trained with her father, who pushed her harder and harder every day to prepare her for the dangers she would face as a hero, as well as many of the heroes she had met growing up.
I'm currently waffling between two quirks for her. Either I'll give her Erasure like her father or I was considering a forcefield style quirk? Where she can create psychic energy forcefields to act as shields or platforms ect. Maybe a mix of both where she can create forcefields that if you get caught in one if erases your quirk while you're inside?
