Tomoko Shiretoko

Character

Ragdoll gave the Wild, Wild Pussycats their eyes, tracking a hundred people at once until All For One tore the Quirk out of her and left her Quirkless. Stripped of the power her whole career rested on, Tomoko Shiretoko stayed with her team anyway, and when her stolen Search turned up in enemy hands she volunteered for the war.

Appearance

Two enormous yellow eyes dominate Tomoko's face, held open almost to their limit and topped by three short lashes apiece. She stands at a middling height, and for most of her career emerald hair ran long down her back.

Her version of the Pussycats team costume comes in yellow. She finishes it by painting pink strokes across both cheeks in imitation of whiskers, plus a pink ring circling the right eye.

Eight years on from the Final War, the emerald hair is gone short, gathered into two buns high on her head. She dresses in ordinary clothes now but has kept the face paint from the old costume.

Personality

The Pussycats are an eccentric, overzealous bunch, and Ragdoll still manages to be the most hyperactive of them. Her energy shows in the body language: constant blinking, a total inability to hold still.

Losing both her Quirk and her profession in one stroke broke her badly, and for a while she was left distraught. She came to terms with it in time and got the old bounce back, throwing herself into supporting her former teammates instead of mourning what she could no longer do.

When the Final War arrived she signed on with the Counter-Force under All Might, unwilling to sit still while the power taken from her was turned to evil. Whatever help she could offer, she wanted to offer.

Abilities

Overall Abilities: While she still had her Quirk, Tomoko was a formidable rescue and support hero. Locating buried disaster victims for her teammates made her an invaluable scout, and the same power doubled as surveillance. During the training camp she kept tabs on forty hero course students at once.

Search (former Quirk): Ragdoll could watch as many as a hundred people simultaneously, reading both where they were and where they were vulnerable. Everything it picked up was filed into her own memory.

Her career ended with the Vanguard Action Squad Invasion. Kidnapped in the raid, she had Search taken from her by All For One, and she has been Quirkless since.
