Kodama is the miko priestess of Kamino-ga-fuchi, keeper of the village's Sacred Tree and owner of a Quirk that heals plants by touch. She attacks Izuku Midoriya on sight for standing too near the trunk, and later offers up her own life to make sure the tree survives a landslide.
She keeps her dark hair short, with bangs across her forehead and more falling at either side of her face, gathered near the ears by a pale band trimmed with leaves. Her dress is the traditional garb of a miko.
Her devotion to the village and its tree runs well past reason. Anyone who wanders near the trunk is treated as a threat first and questioned second, and she considers her own life a fair price if paying it keeps the tree standing.

Naruto vs Luffy with the twist nobody asked for: Luffy tickled Hinata on date night, and she kind of liked it. We break down the whole fight and commit to a winner....

There are no women on Namek. That isn't an oversight, it's the biology. Why we handed Piccolo the one thing his own species rules out, and why it had to be trap soul....
She meets Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo by attacking them, having taken the pair for villains closing in on the Sacred Tree. Once that clears up she apologizes and passes word to the village that the heroes are welcome. Later that day she performs her duty and lays hands on the tree, restoring it and explaining what the ancient plant means to everyone in Kamino-ga-fuchi, which prompts Izuku to call it their own Symbol of Peace.
A celebration for the visiting heroes follows, thanks for the trees they planted, and then a storm and a landslide big enough to force an evacuation. The villagers refuse to leave the tree behind, so Kodama works with Izuku, Katsuki, and Mt. Lady to lift it out whole. Carrying both her and the tree across a crevasse nearly proves too much for Izuku, and she tells him to let her go. He refuses, and lands with everything intact. She heals the tree once more to guarantee it lives, and says that although the village is gone, what matters is not. Izuku agrees, telling them the tree will look after them from here.
Kodama is the miko priestess of Kamino-ga-fuchi in My Hero Academia: Team-Up Missions, tasked with tending the village's Sacred Tree using a Quirk that heals plants by touch.
Kodama has an unnamed Emitter-type Quirk that lets her heal plants by touch, which she uses to restore the ailing Sacred Tree of Kamino-ga-fuchi.
Kodama first meets Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugo by attacking them, mistaking the pair for villains closing in on the village's Sacred Tree, before apologizing once the misunderstanding is cleared up.
When a storm-triggered landslide forces Kamino-ga-fuchi to evacuate, Kodama works with Izuku Midoriya, Katsuki Bakugo, and Mt. Lady to carry the Sacred Tree to safety, even offering her own life to keep it from being lost.
Kodama's devotion to the Sacred Tree runs so deep that she treats anyone approaching it as a threat and considers her own life a fair price to keep it standing, viewing it as central to her village's identity.
