Kinoko Komori

Kinoko Komori, also known as Shemage, is a student in Class 1-B at U.A. High School training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Kinoko is a short girl with honey brown hair, curved inwards in a bob that reaches just below her narrow shoulders, making her head look as if it's the same shape as a mushroom. She has a long fringe that completely covers her eyes, hiding most of her face, and her mouth is notably large. Unobscured, her eyes are wide and fairly sizeable, and her pupils are the shape of cross-sliced mushrooms.

Her hero costume consists of a red hat and dress with a pattern and a turtleneck. She also wears a belt around her waist, and pink shoes with frilly socks that also have a fly agaric pattern. Altogether, her costume bears much resemblance to that of a mushroom as a reference to her Quirk.

Personality
During the U.A. Sports Festival, Kinoko has her eyes hidden by her front bangs and has a sullen expression, suggesting her to be very shy.

Kinoko arrives at the Joint Training Exercise alongside her classmates with a big smile, contrasting with her demeanor during the Sports Festival. When her teammate Shihai Kuroiro's plan fails, she excitedly initiates her part of the plan using her Mushroom Quirk, suggesting that her confidence has increased greatly.

She enjoys using her Quirk which stems from her gleeful liking for mushrooms. She remembers the of all the mushrooms she can spawn and happily adds endearing honorifics to them. She also likes to make mushroom puns during a battle.

However, she possesses a kind side as seen when she apologized to Fumikage Tokoyami for using too much of her Quirk on him and telling him to take necessary medicine to better himself.

Quirk
Mushroom (キノコ): Kinoko's Quirk allows her to grow mushrooms from various surfaces including her surroundings, her own body, and even her opponent's body. They only last for a few hours. They grow better in a humid environment. They can grow rapidly anywhere in which her spores go, including the insides of people's bodies like when she grew her mushrooms in Fumikage's lungs.

Equipment
Squirt Guns: Kinoko possesses a pair of spray bottles, similar to guns, that have mushroom-shaped objects where the hammer would be. She uses them to raise the humidity in her surroundings to help her mushroom spores spread more efficiently.
