Ochako Uraraka, also known by her hero name Uravity, is one of the main characters and main heroines in the My Hero Academia franchise. She is a student at U.A. High School training to become a Pro Hero and one of Izuku Midoriya's closest friends. She dreams of achieving her goals of becoming a Pro Hero so she can support her parents, while being a great hero who protects and saves innocent lives. APPEARANCE: Ochako is an average-height 18 year-old girl with wide, warm brown eyes and bobbed brown hair with baby bangs and two longer parts of hair on the side of her face. She has small, eyebrows and a permanent blush on her cheeks. Her hero costume is a navy, full-body suit with light pink markings on her shoulders (with two darker pink stripes) and torso. Ochako dons large knee-high boots with dark pink soles and heels. She has a thick, hot pink choker, two light pink gauntlets on her arms with darker pink handles and a thick, light pink belt with a darker pink marking in the center, and where they connect. Because of her design company, she has two navy dots below her choker. PERSONALITY & INFO: Ochako is a very cheerful, kind, outgoing, and optimistic girl. She gets easily excited over little things and has a habit of overreacting with exaggerated facial expressions, akin to her close friend/love interest, Izuku Midoriya. Ochako is a very warm, lively individual who thinks about everything positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She is empathetic in general, friendly to those she meets, and will try to help or defend anyone who is kind to her or in need of assistance. Ochako also seems to be very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for Izuku and Katsuki’s rivalry, and being the first to notice when the usually calm and collected Tsuyu was upset. Her empathy and kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates. She is on good terms with everyone and is particularly close friends with several members of the class, including Izuku, Tenya, Tsuyu, and so on. She has an airheaded demeanor that can sometimes make her often not think things through before rushing into things, Ochako can still take on an extremely determined, focused, and intimidating attitude when the situation calls for it. This side of her personality can come as a surprise to those who are used to her generally bubbly nature, and it tends to appear during competitive situations like the U.A. Sports Festival. While she is shown to be surprisingly strategic, she isn't above making some impulsive or reckless decisions. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochako is unwavering and dislikes being underestimated, even in the face of an overwhelming force, and she does get much smarter over time, thus subverting her reckless moments. Coming from a poor household, Ochako tends to become easily excited or surprised over little things, even losing her composure when faced with actual luxury, to the point of nearly fainting like when she was first introduced to Yaoyorozu's overly luxurious dorm room. Bonus materials have depicted her as frugal and occasionally stingy, since she goes to extreme lengths to save money, including sleeping so she does not waste oxygen or skipping meals in order to save food. Ochako's parents are her main drive to becoming a hero, and she desires above all else to earn money in order to give them a comfortable life. She is brazenly honest about her priorities and doesn't hide her pursuit of heroism being in large part due to money, despite her embarrassment over admitting so. While money was a deciding factor in her decision to become a hero, Ochako dreamed of becoming one prior to realizing the extent of her parent's monetary struggles, as she admired their capacity to bring smiles to other people's faces. In terms of heroism, Ochako has shown more preference towards rescue, being a fan of Thirteen for her expertise in the area. She is aware of her physical limitations, deciding to choose the combat-oriented hero Gunhead for her internship in order to increase her fighting repertoire. Consequently, Ochako developed a new sense of battle awareness and has become a more instinctive fighter. Besides this, Ochako can become extremely determined, focused, and sometimes intimidating in certain situations. Due to her time around Izuku, she has picked up some of his habits such as his tenacity and ingenuity in battles. She greatly admires Izuku whom she calls "Deku", a nickname she thought was cute (even though he used to hate it) and seeks to be like him with regard to his skills and dreams. Following Yuga's teasing, Ochako finally realized she has developed strong feelings for him but is too shy to admit it and ran off when she is near him after being confused by her thoughts. Later on, she resolved to put them away for the time being so that she can focus on her dream of becoming a hero, while she fully accepts to herself that she does have feelings for Izuku. However, Ochako's feelings for Izuku resurface as she saves him from being absorbed into the black energy created by One for All manifesting the Quirk "Blackwhip." After that, Mina teases both Ochako and Izuku about what transpired, which causes the two to blush and turn bright red in embarrassment. Then, Mina teased Ochako over her All Might keychain that was gifted to her by Izuku at Christmas. However, after becoming slightly nervous, Ochako happily blushes at her comments while putting the keychain away. Then after the Joint Training Arc in Chapter 256, when Class 1A showed off their new moves, Ochako and Izuku shared a touching moment. They both happily thank each other for making one another stronger, and fist bumped with blushing faces. During the fight with Toga, Ochaco tells her that she fell in love with Izuku Midoriya. Her parents are her motivation as to why she has decided to become a hero, specifically, in order for them to live an easy life. Despite her embarrassment to admit it, she does her best in school with pride for them which makes them happy. Though her main motivation for becoming a hero is to gain money, Ochako is still determined to become a good hero outside of doing so because of her low financial standing. After the death of Sir Nighteye, Ochako laments how she could not save him and how she held him in her arms as he died, believing she could have prevented his death had she been stronger even after Aizawa assured her that she did her very best and was not at fault for the outcome. From that point on, she becomes more determined to save people no matter the cost, maturing in the process. COMBAT: As a hero, her heroine identity is Uravity and her quirk is Zero Gravity, a power to manipulate gravity in ways such as making objects weightless or making objects float, or even make herself to fly, an effect that she has to access by touching the object with her fingerprints, which then glow pink. However, her quirk still has a limitation. A drawback to this Quirk is that if it is used too much (around three tons) or if she makes herself float, she will suffer from nausea and possibly vomit as a result. Her hero costume is made to minimize this negative effect when she uses her quirk. For training, Ochako placed herself into a plastic sphere and tumbled down a mountain, in order to adjust her inner ear canals to Zero Gravity as well as to reduce the after-effects of nausea, all while increasing how much weight she can lift. While at first, Ochako's Quirk only seemed suited for support, she later trains under the Battle Hero: Gunhead's internship where she is taught the pro-hero's martial arts techniques: Gunhead Martial Arts. After this, Ochako becomes more adept at hand-to-hand combat, able to successfully disarm Himiko Toga of her knife and pin the villainess to the ground. She is also able to use her Quirk on heavy objects and debris, able to release them, and use them as attacks against enemies. As the series progresses, Ochako continually showcases her improvement, proving to be a very strong hero-in-training. During the Final War in her battle against Himiko, Ochako's Quirk undergoes an Awakening, allowing the effects of her Zero Gravity to spread among different targets touching each other, without her having to touch them all herself.
