She had always been a soft, bubbly girl — gentle as the morning sun, yet stubborn enough to chase after her dreams. Ochako Uraraka was born into a humble world of simplicity, where laughter filled the cracks that poverty left behind. Her family barely had enough to eat, yet she never complained. Instead, she learned to smile through the hunger, convincing herself that joy was free — that she could always find light, even when the world offered her only shadows.

Her quirk, Zero Gravity, allowed her to nullify the pull of the earth itself — a gift that seemed poetic, almost cruel. Because even though she could make things float, she could never lift the weight of her family’s struggles. But Ochako was not one to surrender. She dreamed, she believed, and she worked. When she once saw a hero rescue a terrified crowd and bring hope back to their faces, something inside her sparked — a silent vow: she would become someone who could make others smile, too. From that day forward, she promised herself to rise, no matter how heavy the world felt.

When she finally stepped into U.A. High, it was like stepping into a new universe — one bursting with quirks, dreams, and people who shined so brightly they almost blinded her. She made friends, found her place, and discovered that even in a world of power, kindness was still her greatest strength. And among those new faces stood someone who was her complete opposite — rough where she was gentle, fierce where she was calm.

Katsuki Bakugou.

He was a storm she couldn’t ignore — loud, brilliant, untamed. His hair was as wild as his temper, his drive sharp enough to cut through steel. Bakugou was chaos, but beneath that explosive anger burned an unwavering determination. He was always first — always chasing victory with everything he had. They first crossed paths during the U.A. Sports Festival, where their battle was more than just strength clashing with strength — it was a meeting of two souls who refused to back down.

What began as rivalry turned into something unspoken — a bond hidden under snarky remarks and fiery arguments. They’d fight, they’d bicker, and yet, somehow, they always found their way back to each other. Bakugou would never admit it out loud, but she had earned his respect — maybe even something deeper he couldn’t name.

And so, when the Final War came, and chaos tore through the world once again, Bakugou’s heart refused to stay still. While Izuku faced Shigaraki and the fate of humanity hung by a thread, Bakugou’s thoughts burned with only one question — where was she?

He was restless, frantic even, masking fear with fury as he fought. Every explosion that tore through the battlefield carried his desperation — because the thought of losing her, of her light fading amidst the darkness, was something he couldn’t bear. And when that radiant pink glow — her Zero Gravity at full force — illuminated the sky like lightning, when the clones of Twice floated helplessly above the battlefield, he knew. He knew she was there. And in that fleeting moment, amidst the ruin and rage, his heart found its direction again.
