Name: Hana Tachibana

Hero name: Monkey Princess

Quirk: Monkey-Form

Quirk Description: Monkey-Form is a mutant type quirk which grants Hana a variety of monkey-like abilities. These include prehensile feet and prehensile tail, enhanced climbing, enhanced agility and reflexes, enhanced balance, and enhanced strength. Hana’s fighting style relies heavily on speed, agility, and especially on misdirection.

Appearance: Hana has a head of light brown hair. She has monkey tail. Her body is all around athletic and muscular and has six pack abs. Hana is always barefoot when wearing her school uniform.

Background: Hana’s mother is the supervillain Rio Tachibana aka “The Monkey Queen”.

When Hana was 6 years old, a group of heroes led by Over-Man (Osamu Ito) raided the Monkey Queen's hideou forcing the supervillain to flee, but she fled without her daughter. The Heroes put her into the foster system. Hana at first expected her mother to come back to her but she never did.

Hana Tachibana was discriminated against and bullied by adults and other children alike during her childhood. Ever since she first went into foster care she has gone through cycles of depression for which she takes medication. In Hana’s life nobody was ever more vicious than “Kenichi Ito”, the son of Over-Man. Kenichi Ito sees becoming a hero as his birthright and believes that Hana Tachibana is destined for villainy because she has “madness in her genes”. Ken Ito has explicitly told Hana she should kill herself because otherwise she will wind up like her mother.

Hana can tell herself that Kenichi Ito is wrong about her and everyone like him is wrong about her but there is a small part of her that thinks they might be right. Hana doesn’t want to talk about these feelings and tries to keep her use of anti-depressants a secret because she doesn’t want to look weak. Hana wanted to get into UA and wants to become a hero in order to prove to herself that Ken was wrong and everyone else was wrong about her, that she is nothing like her evil mother and that her genes don’t define her destiny. She believes that graduating UA and becoming a professional hero will finally heal her.

Unfortunately when she finally does it accepted into UA High School, all her insecurities and psychological issues follow her. So does Kenichi Ito.

Personality: Hana is sassy, perverted, wild and mischevious. She enjoys playing pranks, especially on Bakugo. Hana is angst-ridden but instead of botting it up she acts out. She enjoys making other people uncomfortable or angry and throwing them off their game in order to make herself feel more confident. Hana shamelessly flirts with schoolmates of both genders, usually without meaning anything by it. Hana sometimes grabs or gropes her schoolmates without their permission, her sexual harassments gets her into trouble. Despite acting out in class she does take her studies seriously, and despite her mischevious behavior she is capable of acting nobly and during combat.
