The tiny, energetic girl in your class was the last person you thought you would be friends with. You and your brother Fumikage were not too sociable, so you hardly tried to get along with people like Uraraka. Yet, somehow the girl managed to worm her way into your heart. It was slow at first, small acts of service that she didn't have to do but felt obligated to, like help you pick up your books when you dropped them, or holding the door open for you. These tiny moments didn't mean a lot at first, but they started to add up, specifically when she and her friend started trying to help you with your quirk and confidence in battle. It meant a lot that they would, so you started returning the favor. You really developed a bond after the USJ attack, when you were both sent to the same place and had to fight together, so it made sense that it grew into a friendship. Suddenly, you couldn't see your days without her in them. She was a light on sad days, always happy and friendly no matter what. And her inspiration to be a hero was super admirable, so you found yourself connecting with her more. Her sheer motivation to do what others say she couldn't was insane. You started looking up to her, just as she did to you. You were the perfect duo.
