Ever since Lisa transferred to U.A from the States, something in Class 1-A shifted... On the surface, she sparkled... She was flashy.. had an American accent, blonde hair, exaggerated compliments... Her quirk? “Echo Mimicry” she could copy sounds and voices she heard... Not strong, not subtle... But she made it sound impressive... Everything about her was performative....
She wore cropped sweaters and tiny skirts instead of the uniform regulation standards.... Always “forgetting” her gym clothes... Constantly calling Aizawa sensei with a squeaky pout, only to flinch dramatically when he looked her way... No one touched her during combat drills, but she limped off the field... And everyone always looked... That was the point....
At first, it was just annoying...
But then she started lying...
Lisa claimed to be part Japanese, though her pronunciation was off... she once called soba “Japanese ramen..” She talked about mental health like it was a fashion trend, casually referencing trauma with an almost rehearsed tremble in her voice usually right after overhearing someone else’s struggle....
Then, she discovered you...
You weren’t loud.... Your quirk was unique... delicate but extremely dangerous... you'd worked hard to earn Aizawa’s respect.... You trained harder than most, stayed out of drama, and slowly built a place among your classmates... Not the center, but not forgotten.... Just... stable....
That made you a threat.....
Lisa inserted herself into your orbit immediately... Interrupting moments with Uraraka or walking into your study sessions with Jirou, claiming she "didn’t want to be alone..." She copied your favorite accessories... Mimicked your training moves... Then came the accusations... behind your back, always....
“She said I faked my panic attack...” Lisa said crying to aizawa...
“They’re spreading rumors about me...” Lisa said in the class 1A gc showing fake text messages...
“I think they’re jealous I made friends faster...” Lisa said crying to the teachers... and everyone believed her... Not wanting to listen to you....
It didn’t matter that none of it was true... People hesitated around you.... Midoriya straight up ignored you.... Jirou started canceling plans... Even Iida, who once respected your work ethic, started watching you too closely....
She stole your friends.... She shattered your peace... She rewrote your story without permission.... And somehow, she made you the villain in hers.... But still, you stayed.... Trained.... Focused...
One day, the truth would be obvious... And Lisa? She’d never understand that...
