Oboro Shirakumo

Oboro Shirakumo, also known as Loud Cloud (ラウド・クラウド) was a student in Class 2-A at U.A. High School training to become a Pro Hero at the same time Shota Aizawa and Hizashi Yamada were attending.

Appearance
Oboro was a man of average stature with light, wavy hair what was swept back to flow upwards above his head, two shorter, ear-length tufts left hanging downwards to frame his face. He usually wore an expression of excitement, possessing a large, teeth-bearing grin and semicircular, inward-tilting eyes that were often squeezed shut.

At U.A., he wore the standard male uniform: a light gray blazer with dark turquoise trimmings over a white dress shirt and dress pants, along with a red tie, as well as a small rectangular bandage over his nose.

Oboro's hero costume consisted of a closed martial arts Gi, secured by a black knot-tied obi over his waist, boots, and black fingerless gloves. He also wore a black undershirt and a aviator jacket, and, on his head, an aviator hat with large mufflers and an opening that allowed his hair to protrude from the top. He also had goggles, and on his back he carried a sheath to store his quarterstaff. His suit was complemented by a gourd tied to his belt.

Personality
Oboro was a boy with a jovial and casual personality, very prone to making jokes and witty comments with innuendos. His energetic and goofy persona was similar to that of his classmate Hizashi Yamada, although Oboro never quite reached his excitement level.

Due his extravagant behavior, he wasn't big on following protocol and had little to no sense of shame, as evidenced when he came into class through a window and changed his clothes in front of everyone, regardless of whether this might bother other people. He didn't give much importance to his criticisms or reprimands.

Despite this, Oboro was the type to go the extra mile when someone needed help.

History
On his way to start his second-year at U.A. High School, Oboro found a cat that Shota Aizawa left an umbrella over. He takes the cat and the umbrella with him to class, where he arrives through the homeroom class window using a cloud created with his Quirk. He gets in trouble with his teacher, who insists he use the door like everyone else.

Soaked from the rain, Oboro interrupts roll call and to ask if anyone had a towel, although it was to no avail. He also asked Shota if he dropped his umbrella and, when he affirmed, handed it back to him.

Since his clothes were wet, he decided to change into his gym attire in front of everyone. This caused commotion among his classmates, so he used a cloud to censor himself.

Oboro pulled out the cat he rescued earlier from the rain, which is met with adoration from his classmates. He allowed roll to continue after getting dressed, and placed the cat on a cloud pillow.

Class 2-A's homeroom teacher begins by reminding students that most second-years do work studies during summer vacation to get a taste of what the world of a Pro Hero is like. Oboro along with Hizashi and Shota are reminded they have yet to assign themselves to an agency.

Oboro and the rest of his class gear up for Joint Exercises with Class 2-B that consist of Battle Training, Rescue Training, and Entertainment Lessons. He excels in each exercise.

A few days later, Oboro's teachers discuss if he has any chance of landing an agency. His homeroom teacher says he doesn't have the grades, but makes up for it with a positive attitude and wherever he does goes, he will manage at his own pace.

After school, Oboro is on the roof top with Hizashi, Shota and the cat he rescued. Oboro is eating sushi, when the trio discuss the practical usages of Shota's Quirk, where Oboro suggest he should go the battler route so he can fight Villains on even terms. Shota answers he's not much of a fighter and what would he do against heavy brawlers. Shota explains continues explaining why and gets distracted when Oboro is caught almost feeding the cat sushi. Shota tells Oboro not to give him human feed, and gives him some school milk instead. Shota reminds him that animals aren't allowed at school where Oboro responds he'd feel worse if he let him at home all day.

The trio and cat time on the rooftop is interrupted when third year Nemuri spots them having lunch. She admires the `youth` for breaking the rules and being up there. Oboro ask why she is here, and she explains she was coming back from her Work Study and needed to do some paperwork at school. The roof is one of Nemuri's favorite places which Oboro is happy to learn she's also a rule breaker like them. The trio look at Nemuri, when Shota ask if their is more to hero costume, if it has some high-tech material invisible to idiots. Oboro oblivious to the joke, excitedly is happy to be an "idiot". Nemuri explains the functions of her costume, which just leaves Oboro admiring her beauty.

Nemuri stops talking about herself and spots the cat Shota is holding. Oboro explains him and Shota are taking care of it when Nemuri says you really shouldn't have animals at school and swipes the cat away. Nemuri ask the boys the cats name, with no luck. She ask each of them their favorite food, Oboro says "sushi" and it's decided that will be his name. Oboro tells her they need to find a home for him. Nemuri tells the trio she can't because she's expecting to move after graduation and it's harder to get married as a single cat owner. Nemuri says she'll have him temporally until the trio find him a proper home where Oboro states Nemuri will end up keeping him.

Next day on the roof Shota and Oboro are hanging out on the roof. Oboro says if handing off Sushi was the responsible thing to do while Shota says he will be in good hands with Nemuri. Oboro says they weren't in no condition to take care of him and begin talking about Work-Studies. Hizashi was assigned a battle-oriented one leaving them the last two without one. Nemuri suddenly comes from the roof top door and spots the two. They thank her for taking care of Sushi and she shows them a clip of him from the morning. Disturb by Sushi's bathroom video, they ask if thats the only reason she came up. Nemuri states she knows perfect place for little ones with nowhere to go, and tells her boss will take anyone and invites them two to join her.

Joint Training Arc
After the U.A. faculty conference, where Hitoshi Shinso was officially admitted to the Hero Course, Present Mic brings Oboro up to Shota as they are walking down the hallway.

Quirk
Cloud: Oboro has the ability to manipulate water to form clouds. He is capable of moving through the air by creating clouds and riding on them. The full potential of this Quirk is unknown, however, given that Oboro was in U.A. High's hero course, Cloud is presumably useful in combat and/or rescue.
