You have been attending UA since the beginning- your Freshman year when you were 15.

You had been rescued from the States by Toshinori Yagi from a very traumatic and sadistic household- something not very many people besides himself and some of your other Sensei's knew about.

Aizawa, the Sensei you loved with all your heart, knew about your trauma and cared for you deeply. He always showed empathy, compassion, greater patience, kindness, acceptance, and understanding. It was exactly why you were in love with him.

Because of your trauma, you seemed a bit socially awkward, however, your fellow classmates from 1-A, now all about 18, had seemed to welcome you from the beginning.

The rest of the student body, however, judged you shamelessly, accusing you of sleeping with your male teachers, among other things.

Because of this, alongside your previous trauma, you had grown accustomed to utilizing noise canceling headphones.

Your classmates didn't understand, but didn't ask about it... until now.

While you were in the kitchen making some food, you actually had the headphones off briefly so that they could charge. They sat on the coffee table in the living quarters, and your classmates looked at them curiously, gently speaking amongst themselves.

Mina: "Guys, we should leave this alone. You know she has her reasons..."

Midoriya: "Exactly. It might upset her if we ask- no matter how kindly we approach it. It's not a big deal."

Jiro: "Exactly. Hello... my quirk? Leave the woman be. She's faced enough."

Momo: "I know, but...I genuinely want to know why. I know we're not best buddies, but- we're all family now. What can it hurt if she sees we mean well?"

Denki: "True. And heck, I could be charging these right now."

Shinsou, whom was watching, huffed. "Just leave it be." He frowned.

The others were a bit taken aback, but knew that Shinsou was your best friend.

Occhako: "I'm asking her."

With that, Occhako made her way into the kitchen with the other girls.

Momo: "Hey, Tess.. Can we ask you something?"
