Needle Hair
CharacterOne of the roughly seventy criminals Tomura Shigaraki swept up for the strike on the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, Needle Hair fires her own hardened strands like bullets. Rated F-rank, she lasts about as long against Eraser Head as that ranking suggests.
Appearance
Dreadlocks in a pale gray fall well down Needle Hair's back, the obvious feature on a young woman otherwise unremarkable in height and build. Brown eyes sit above them. For the U.S.J. job she is dressed in a bodysuit of deep purple, its sleeves patterned in gray and a lighter violet, finished off with black boots.
Personality
Almost nothing has been established about her temperament. What can be inferred comes from the company she chose: signing on to storm a school full of U.A. faculty argues for a fairly generous opinion of her own skills.
History
During the U.S.J. Incident she is sorted into the long-range contingent thrown at Eraser Head. She lines up her Quirk beside Stitched Giant and Victor, ready to open fire, and the three of them get nothing off: Erasure shuts the powers down and the Binding Cloth handles the rest. She is arrested with the remainder of the recruits once the Pro Heroes reach the facility, and remains imprisoned.
Her Quirk, Hair Control, lets her stiffen and direct her hair at will, including launching individual strands as projectiles. The villain name itself is sourced from one place, the game My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero.
