Rei Todoroki/Synopsis

History
At some point in her life, Rei wed Enji Todoroki in a Quirk Marriage, who used his influence as the No. 2 Hero to force her family to agree. She appeared to be unhappy in this union, as her son Shoto would have memories of her crying very often.

When Enji began to ruthlessly train Shoto when he was five, she would attempt to intervene, but was physically assaulted as a result. Despite this, she supported her son and encouraged him to push through the hard times. When Shoto expressed his worry over someday becoming a man like his father, she assured him that he could become whatever he wanted to be and that he was not bound to his bloodline.

At some point, Rei began to lose her sanity because of Endeavor's abuse, finding it painful to look at Shoto because his left side reminded her of Endeavor. One day, while she was talking with her mother over the phone and discussing that she no longer had the stability to raise her son, she was startled by Shoto's sudden appearance at the door. Seeing his red hair, she snapped and poured boiling water from a nearby kettle over his head, severely burning his face. She immediately snapped back to reality and tearfully apologized, using her Ice Quirk to soothe the wound.

Shoto bore no ill will over this incident, instead directing it at his father, whom he blamed for his mother's suffering. Sometime after the incident, Rei was admitted to a psychiatric ward.

During Shoto's visit, she apologized through tears to him and smiled as Shoto told her he bore no ill will against her and knew she did not mean to harm him and he forgave her a long time ago. She then told him that she wanted him to be happy and save people, which allowed Shoto to finally leave his past behind.
