I don't remember much of my childhood. My parents were actually pretty unremarkable, I don't think they disliked me or anything but I do think they were scared of me. I didn't act like other kids, and I displayed love in a very different way from them. I used to hunt for dead animals and put them in my mouth when I was like really little, I don't know why but it was like an instinct or a compulsion and it would make my parents upset since they were worried about me getting sick. I never killed the animals myself, not until I was a bit older but only when they were already injured or sick to put them out of their misery. I had trouble making friends, most kids stayed away from me.
I do clearly remember my quirk manifestation though. I was in first year of school in like kindergarden, and this boy in my class had fallen at recess and scraped his knee. He was crying and bleeding and I felt so bad because I had liked him and wanted to be his friend. So I came over and tried to console him but I just had this overwhelming compulsion to lick the wound. Like I had to, I had no control over anything and the entire world was drowned out and dull except for his blood on his knee. When I did, my quirk activated and I turned into him. He was so, so frightened by this that he was screaming bloody murder until our teacher came over and found us. The transformation didn't last long but I stopped going to that school, I guess the boys mother spoke to the principal or my parents or something. They didn't let me leave the house much.
I think I left home around 13 or maybe 14, I had been chasing after a boy from my school who I was in love with and was sleeping outside his house or in his closet most nights. When he did eventually find out he was horrified and rejected me. I ended up killing him.
I was really obsessive over things or people I liked, and really clingy. I liked to physically hang off my friends and I was really loud most of the time. Obnoxious is a good word for it. But I had only started to actually have real friends when I joined the League. I had a few friends in high school but most of the girls weren't like me and I was just pretending to act like them to blend in. It's where I learned a lot of my espionage stills I guess. I can act completely normal when I want, but it would be masking. I didn't feel emotions the same way everyone else did. I know I felt them, but just. Differently.
In the League I was probably closest to Maggie and Jin. When I first joined, I was just living on the streets mostly or in empty houses, but Jin had let me stay with him in his apartment even though he had only just met me. It didn't take long for us to develop a really strong bond, like father and daughter. I would genuinely consider him to be my father, he had been more there for me than anyone in my life had been before. It was a one bedroom apartment, so he let me sleep in his bed while he slept on the couch. We eventually got me a futon so I wasn't stealing his room but we lived like that a long time and he was one of the most important people in my life. Maggie was probably the second, she was like an older sister to me and we spent so much time together. I was close to Tomura, too, I also consider him family.
Relationship wise I was dating Dabi. It wasn't right away, although the moment I had laid my eyes on him it was like my world finally had colour in it. I was obsessed with him immediately, more so than any of the other boys I had chased after in the past. I joined the League when I was 17 or so, but we started dating when I was 18 or 19. I had moved out of Jin's apartment and into his after I stole his keys and cloned my own copy. I took all my belongings and just moved them into his house and eventually myself in as well so he wasn't allowed to protest. It ended up working out in the end anyway.
I had a really hard time handling both Jin and Maggie's deaths. Death hadn't been something I had really struggled with before until they were gone. I felt like I was lost and I couldn't find my way back home because my home was destroyed. Maggie's death wasn't as hard on Dabi, but Jin's was really bad. We struggled a little for awhile because we didn't talk to each other and grieved in silence. I wanted comfort and consolidation but he wanted to be alone and to break things and hurt people. We got through it but it was hard. It was hard on the entire League, since we all cared about each other after all.
One big thing is that I tried to never fatally hurt any of the UA kids. Honestly a lot of us were pretty upset that they were forced to be a part of the war. Like yeah, we were all villains and were fine with killing people, but fucks sake they were children. The pro heroes were basically using these kids as shields to hide behind and it was sickening. Most of us were like that honestly, that if we had to attack the kids we'd try not to hurt them beyond repair. Most of the time we would try to avoid them at all costs in battle unless it was just to incapacitate.
