Toru Hagakure

Toru Hagakure, also known as the Stealth Hero: Invisible Girl, is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Toru is a short girl with an invisible body. She is only identifiable through held or worn objects, like pieces of clothing and accessories. She claims to look like and  mashed together.

Her hero costume consists of blue gloves with pink lines and brownish-gray shoes. Her winter costume includes high boots and slightly different coloured gloves.

Personality
Toru is a bubbly, cheery, and easygoing girl that does most things with an upbeat attitude, even if manipulated to do so. She is very socially eager and appears to like shopping. Her room suggests that she likes plushies and other cute things.

She believes that taking off her clothes during battle is a tactical advantage, much to the awkwardness of those around her. That being said, she seems blissfully unaware of what it means to be invisible, such as displaying slight embarrassment at the idea of being watched undressing; a trait that shows up even when she's wearing her hero costume, which features almost no clothing in the first place.

In general, it appears Toru's invisible body is primarily used as a source of comic relief.

Abilities
Hand-to-Hand Combat: Toru's primary fighting style consists of directly attacking her opponents with a barrage of punches, taking advantage of her total invisibility to launch surprise attacks that are extremely difficult to guard against.

Quirk
Invisibility: Toru's Quirk turns her body completely invisible. It is unknown if it is permanently active or can be activated and deactivated at will, but has been shown to stay invisible while unconscious or asleep.
