Izuku Midoriya/Synopsis

History
As a child, Izuku Midoriya greatly admired Heroes and dreamed of being a hero like his idol, All Might, once he got his Quirk. However, by the time children his age manifested their powers, Izuku still showed no signs of developing any special abilities. A doctor's visit revealed the devastating truth: Izuku has two joints in his pinky toe, a telltale sign that he was born Quirkless.

Izuku had trouble accepting this at first and hoped for a miracle while he was still young. He tried desperately to use telekinesis or breathe fire (his mother and father's Quirks respectively), but to no avail. Izuku would eventually have to face reality: he was one of the very few people who would never develop a Quirk.

Later on, Izuku kept watching videos of All Might that night on his computer and tearfully asked his mother if he could still become a hero. She hugged him and apologized, words that Izuku would remember as not what he wanted to hear because they made him feel inadequate to those with Quirks.

Even so, Izuku still kept aiming to be a hero and to get into U.A. High School. This ambition led him to be constantly bullied and ridiculed by his classmates, especially his childhood friend, Katsuki Bakugo, who believed it impossible for someone without a Quirk to ever become a hero. Despite this, Izuku still considered the two of them to be friends at the time, always following him around.

However, things escalated when Izuku tried to help Katsuki after he fell off a small bridge into a stream. Izuku offered a helping hand, but Katsuki's pride caused him to take this as an insult. He believed that Izuku made him appear as if he needed aid from someone who is beneath him. This would strain the relationship between the two for years to come.
