Gorilla

Character

Gorilla belongs to the seventy-odd rank-and-file villains that Tomura Shigaraki pulled together for the League of Villains' strike on the Unforeseen Simulation Joint, which lands her among the U.S.J. Arc's lesser antagonists. Her Quirk lends her a gorilla's arms, and she goes down with the rest of the horde before being arrested.

Appearance

Her arms give the game away: heavy, oversized, and coated in brown hair. Indigo colors the skin ringing her right eye, and two lines in the same shade run out from it, one toward the ear and the other slanting down her cheek. Maroon hair falls to her shoulders, with bangs draped across the left eye.

Her outfit is a short sleeveless dress in purple, cut with a V neckline and marked on the right side by three diagonal stripes in a paler purple.

Personality

Nothing about her disposition is established. The single glimpse of a reaction comes at the U.S.J., where she registered shock alongside Minotaurus and Sickle Claw at how easily Shota Aizawa dismantled the League's long-range squad.

History

Gorilla joined the horde that Tomura Shigaraki led into the Unforeseen Simulation Joint. She was among those who rushed Shota Aizawa, and her own bout with the Pro Hero presumably ended the way everyone else's did. Once the raid failed, the authorities took her in with the rest of the League, leaving only Tomura and Kurogiri at large.

Her Quirk goes unnamed and does one thing: it shapes her arms into those of a gorilla.
