Anan Kurose

Anan Kurose, also known as Space Hero: Thirteen (スペースヒーロ・13), is a Pro Hero who specializes in search and rescue, and a faculty member of U.A. High School.

Appearance
Anan is a young woman with short, lightly-colored hair, as well as some lighter bangs on the top, simulating a spiral. Her irises have rings around them, resembling the first concepts given to depict black holes.

Her costume consists of a white space suit design using what appears to be a puffy jacket instead of an actual suit, a black helmet with white eyes, and a pair of yellow boots.

During the Paranormal Liberation War, her helmet was partially cracked, revealing parts of her face for the first time, namely her light hair worn in bangs and her right, light-colored eye. Both her arms were greatly injured in the conflict.

Personality
Anan is a wise, well-mannered woman. As a rescue hero, Anan has displayed how passionate she is about saving people through her teachings. She even developed her own training facility - the Unforeseen Simulation Joint - to train future heroes in search and rescue tactics. She is very passionate about Quirks, specifically Quirks used for creation and assistance rather than for destruction and battle.

Anan has also been shown to be very brave. Despite not being a combat type, she does not hesitate to use her Quirk to fight against villains in the name of protecting others.

Quirk
Black Hole (ブラックホール): Anan's Quirk allows her to replicate a black hole suction effect from her fingertips. The suction is very powerful and not even light can escape it. Anything sucked into the black hole will be disintegrated into dust.

Equipment
High Density Weights (Final Exams Arc): Anan and the rest of the teachers use these bracelets to give themselves a handicap while they are fighting their students.
