Appearance

Light brown runs through both her eyes and her hair, which she binds into pigtails that stop just above the shoulder, with bangs swept aside across her forehead and cheeks. Her eyes read as ovals, her build is lean, and her height is unremarkable.

Magenta dominates the rest: a sports bra, shorts (drawn as a skirt in the games), and boots, plus a pair of broad arm bands in a deeper shade of the same color.

History

Martial Hair joined the mob of villains Tomura Shigaraki assembled to storm the U.S.J., which lands her among that arc's minor antagonists. Eraser Head stepped in front of the group to keep them off the students, and she wound her hair up to strike at him. The kick that landed in her face put her down instantly. Once the Pro Heroes arrived on the scene, she was taken into custody with the rest.

Her villain name never appears in the main story. It is given only in My Hero Academia: The Strongest Hero, which also ranks her at F.

Abilities

Hair Control: She can move her ponytails as she pleases and harden their shape into weaponry, drills being the form she takes them into against opponents. It suits medium-range fighting.
