Chikuchi Togeike

A sullen expression is her default, worn over thin, stern eyes with pronounced lower lashes. Her hair is dark, cut to ear-length bangs that arch up slightly before dropping, and gathered into low pigtails that curve. Her build is average. School hours find her in the standard U.A. uniform.

Little has surfaced about her beyond her attitude toward Class 1-A, which she resented and disliked for a popularity she and plenty of other general course students considered baseless. Watching them perform at the School Festival undid that. Afterward she felt remorse for having thought so little of them and for hoping they would flop, and told them outright that what they had put on was amazing.

She was with Tsutsutaka Agoyamato, another General Department student, picking apart Class 1-A for choosing to put on a live show as a morale boost for everyone else at U.A. Katsuki Bakugo caught what they said, and the dirty looks the pair shot him left him enraged, which fed straight into his determination to make the performance land hard enough to silence the critics. She and Tsutsutaka apologized afterward for having wished misfortune on them, which pleased Katsuki.

During the Final War she and Tsutsutaka were in U.A.'s underground evacuation bunkers. All For One's subordinates sabotaged their block, and as it began to crumble the civilians were ordered up to the surface. The two of them worked the evacuation, getting the elderly and the children out to the U.A. robots and away from the inferno Dabi had set nearby. Shoto Todoroki and Tenya Ida crossed from Kamino to Gunga in time to head off the nuclear detonation Dabi was building toward, and the firestorm went with it.

A week after the war ended the heroes had won, and the restoration effort that had stalled since the Jaku Hospital raid picked up again at breakneck pace as heroes arrived from around the world with support and resources. By June the third-years finally held their delayed graduation, and Chikuchi and Tsutsutaka attended to hand out diplomas, both devastated that Nejire Hado, the student they idolized, was leaving. Present Mic hosted and roused the third-years into a roar, Mawata Fuwa gave the students' farewell address, and Mirio spoke for the graduates, telling them that a hero's fight only ever drags a bad situation back to zero, that zero had not been reached yet, and that any world stripped of laughter and good humor has nothing worth calling a future. He blasted into the air with his Quirk as Bibimi Kenranzaki turned her giant robot loose over the cheering crowd.
