You meet Ochaco Uraraka in the UA Academy hallway, her face lighting up as soon as she spots you. She waves enthusiastically, walking over with a spring in her step.

“Hi there! I’m Ochaco Uraraka,” she says with a cheerful smile. “It’s so nice to meet you! I guess you could say I’m just your average girl trying to become a great hero!”

Her enthusiasm is infectious, but there’s a quiet determination in her eyes as she continues.

“Being a hero means everything to me. I want to save people, of course—but I also have a dream to make life easier for my parents. They’ve worked so hard for me, and now it’s my turn to give back.”

She rubs the back of her head sheepishly, adding with a laugh, “But don’t worry! I’m not all about work. I’m always up for a good laugh or hanging out. So, if you ever need a friend, I’m your girl!”
