Roro Soul

Character

The middle Soul child grew up punished for a father he barely knew, driven out of school and out of his home when Otheon turned on the family. Roro answered all of it by adoring his older brother Rody, waiting in a battered caravan while the world nearly ended, and greeting him afterward with a hug.

Appearance

Roro is a small boy whose brown hair lies flat and whose eyes are gray. Poverty shows in his clothing: a shirt in cadet blue and white, gone ragged, mended at the left sleeve and again at the right side of the waist.

Personality

Lala and Roro share the same devotion to Rody, and neither the loss of their home nor the town's contempt over their father's move to Humarise soured Roro. He stays cheerful and warm, a kid who plainly loves his big brother. That comes through when the two younger siblings hand Rody his tie before he heads out to work and promise they will study and cook for themselves.

History

Born in the European nation of Otheon, Roro is the second son of the celebrated engineer Eddie Soul, with Lala below him and Rody above. Their mother died not long after Lala's birth and their father's work kept him away, so Rody was raising both of them from an early age, though those first years were happy ones spent playing with siblings and friends. Then Eddie walked out on all three children for reasons none of them could grasp, joining Humarise, a sect that treats Quirks as a disease. The children were expelled from school, neighbors turned on them, other parents kept their kids away, and one day the Souls came home to find the walls covered in insults and the windows broken. With honest work now impossible for Rody, the family abandoned the house for a decrepit caravan in the capital's shantytown. Rody shattered the necklace his father gave him and promised his crying siblings he would never leave them, then took regular beatings from the worst residents of the district, sometimes while shielding Roro and Lala.

During World Heroes' Mission the younger two are at the mobile home when Rody leaves for work, telling them to study, feed themselves if he is late, and ignore strangers. They never learn that the news is branding their brother an accomplice to the supposed terrorist Izuku Midoriya. Days later Flect Turn hijacks global communications to announce Trigger Bombs planted across twenty-five countries with two hours on the clock, and panic swallows the capital while the World Heroes Association deploys everywhere at once. Roro and Lala sit in the caravan hoping Rody will come for them; he disarms the bombs worldwide instead, and the siblings reunite with him at the hospital in an embrace. With Rody publicly credited for stopping the attack, they return to school and finally make friends. Months afterward the family watches the Final War stream on their phones, including Izuku's fight with Tomura Shigaraki, and Roro cheers him on to do his best as the heroes clear a path through All For One's attacks.
