Nemuri Kayama/Synopsis

History
Nemuri was once a student at U.A. High School. At one point, she participated in the Hero Work-Studies at the Purple Revolution Agency being a trainee to His Purple Highness. During her third year, she began a friendship with the second year students Shota Aizawa, Hizashi Yamada and Oboro Shirakumo.

It all started on her way home from her Work-Study, she went to school to do some paperwork, stopped by on one the rooftops because it's one of her favorite spots. Once there, she found the three students eating their lunch there, and she warned them that the roofs are off-limits to students, but when it seemed that she was going to admonish them, she actually praised them for their rebellious attitude.

The boys were surprised to find her there, and Shota asked her about her hero costume, because it was too revealing, to the point she was almost naked. Although she knew her costume would be scorned and questioned, she told it's bold yet practical, to support both her Quirk and moves, and she didn't feel ashamed for wearing it. in fact, she was convinced that she would change the opinion of the Japanese in one year's time. Little does she know that soon, her costume would lead the government to put forward the "Hero Costume Skin Exposure Limitation Act."

Nemuri stopped talking about herself and spots the cat Shota was holding. Oboro explained that him and Shota were taking care of it when Nemuri said they really shouldn't have animals at school and swipes the cat away. Nemuri asked for the name of the cat, and not having it, decided to name it sushi after asking the boys what their favorite food were. She said she would have the kitten temporally until the trio found him a proper home, because she planned to leave home after graduation, so she won't be in any place to care for it. Then, she left the roof with the kitten, and Oboro stated she will end up keeping him.

The next day, Nemuri returned to the roof, meeting Shota and Oboro eating. After informing them that Sushi was doing well, she told them she had a proposition. Knowing that both Shota and Oboro were not yet assigned to an agency to participate in the Work Studies, she informed them that her boss was willing to take on anyone.

Shota and Oboro accepted her offer and began their work studies with His Purple Highness, forming the Team Purple Revolution. A day on the field, a robbery was happening when Oboro and Nemuri entered the scene, forcing the Robber Villain to use his Smoke Quirk to escape. Oboro wanted to chase after him, but Nemuri stopped him, arguing that the smoke could be toxic and they should prioritize evacuating the citizens. Oboro yelled at Shota to catch the thief, but he managed to escape thanks to his Quirk.

The three students apologized to His Purple Highness for failing, but the hero praised them and gave the trio his feedback about what they should improve, especially Shota. Days later, they met the Robber Villain again, and this time they managed to capture him.

For a while, the students of class 2-A returned to the U.A. to show their progress and participate in a Two on Two Battle Training together with class 2-B. After the exercise, Nemuri met Shota, Oboro and Hizashi hanging out on the rooftop again, talking about their plans to open an agency together once they graduate. Nemuri admires the youths bantering and Oboro asked her to join them. Nemuri declined the offer, since she already had her own plans once she goes independent, with young people waiting for her. Then, Oboro stated he wouldn't mind waiting on her and would later give her a pair of googles.

After this brief period in the U.A., Nemuri, Oboro and Shota returned to the Purple Revolution Agency to continue with the Work-Studies. The Purple Revolution team patrolled the streets of Tasomiya Ward in two groups: one formed by Shota and Oboro, and the other by Nemuri and Mr. Purple.

During the patrol, a villain known as Garvey made an appearance, causing great destruction in the city. Nemuri and His Purple Highness witnessed how the hero team Buster Union tried to stop him, but were easily defeated by the villain. Midnight used the Hero Network to obtain information and reported her boss about the villain’s criminal record and his Stock Quirk, showing concern because the data did not indicate that Garvey had as much destruction capacity as he was demonstrating at the time. Mr. Purple ordered Midnight to call for backup and help evacuate the area while he faces the villain to buy time.

His Purple Highness, Shota and Oboro faced the villain to protect a group of schoolkids. In the end, Shota was able to defeat the villain alone, but the fight had a tragic outcome. Mr. Purple had to be hospitalized for the injuries suffered, but what is most affectionate for Nemuri and Shota is to discover that his friend Oboro had died during the confrontation, protecting the children.

Nemuri could not help but cry for his death, and Shota and Hizashi mourning in the place where Oboro died, not caring about the heavy rain of that moment. After his body was removed from the area, Nemuri told Shota and Hizashi to cover themselves if they didn't want to end up getting sick. Hizashi thanked her for her concern, but told they were fine and continued in the area for hours.

After Oboro's death, Nemuri continued to attend the U.A. until she finally graduated and became a professional hero. She would end up founding her own Hero Office, with her own sidekicks, the Midnight Boys.

Vigilante - My Hero Academia: Illegals
Months before she started working as a professor at the U.A., Nemuri was involved in a series of events caused by a criminal organization known as the Villain Factory, a criminal organization responsible for trafficking Trigger, an drug that boost Quirk but turns its consumers in violent Instant Villains.

One day, one of the Factory's agents, Kuin Hachisuka, uses her Queen Bee Quirk to inject Trigegr into innocent civilians, causing an Instant Villain Outbreak. Detective Naomasa immediately call for backup. Nemuri and other heroes appear immediately and quickly they suppress the outbreak.

Due to the villain outbreak, where several innocent people were turned into Instant Villains, detective Tanema organized a meeting in the Police Station with multiple Pro Heroes who helped to stop the outbreak, to discuss the situation the best action to take, beign Midnight one of them.

After the meeting, she Midnight approaches Eraser Head asking about where Present Mic is because he was supposed to be at the meeting. He explains that Present Mic had a cold and could not make it. Midnight scolds Eraser Head on his attire. In response, he teases her saying she should become a teacher or something if she likes counseling others so much.

Much to his chagrin, she tells him that is exactly what she planned on doing. Continuing on she reveals that principal Nezu personally requested her and that she will start next year at U.A. She details in constant innuendos her beliefs on teaching. Aizawa disagres with her methods and as she began a rebuttal. Then, a villain called Suicide Bomb attacks the police station, threatening to kill everybody. Endeavor still fuming over what has just transpired decides he is going to incinerate the villain.

However, the villain's Quirk will most likely have a volatile reaction to Endeavor's Hellflame. Midnight calls Eraser Head to help resolve the problem before it gets explosive. Eraser Head wraps up the villain and threw him into Midnigh, who calms him and passes him out with her Quirk. The Midnight Boys come bursting in asking if Midnight is unharmed. She tells them she is fine and orders them to hand the villain over to police custody.

Midnight returns to her conversation with Shota Aizawa telling him he should also become a teacher because a wide variety of opinions and teaching styles is required to educate the youth. He asks if she is joking about him becoming a teacher because that would be the epitome of irrational. Despite his words, Midnight submitts a recommendation for him to the principal, informing Shota the next day about her decision.

Weeks later, she is invited by Makoto to participate along with other heroes in a musical event organized by the Marukane. Midnight accepts the invitation. In the greenroom, he meets Preesent Mic, and ask him about Eraser Head whereabouts. Present Mic replies that Shota told him he would come to the show if he can. Midnight assumes he won't come. As she predicted, Shota cannot attend because he has to face a villain that generates a blackout in the area. Fortunately, Makoto's team fixes the generators and the festival continues, ending up being a success.

Midnight decides to pursue her fleeing student because her sadistic side is aching and whips him as he runs away from her. She criticizes him for running away, but Minoru reveals that his cowardice was just a ploy to fan Midnight's sadistic side and lead her away from the escape gate.

Minoru reveals as a fan of hers, he knows her quirk and has a plan. He comes out of hiding with Hanta's tape wrapped around his mouth to avoid breathing in Midnight's fragrance.
