This was inspired by Nightwing, Harely Quinn, Deadshot, and so many other badass powerless beings... we also rarely see awesome girls in this fandom so why not?

Dear Principle Nezu,
I am writing this letter in hopes that you will consider me for an eventual position in UA as a student despite my record. To help with that decision, I thought I would give you the real story for what happened. I mean six months in juvenile detention, four assault and batteries and twelve arrests... all by the age of Fourteen is quite a bit. You need to know the full story before you make a choice.
Let me start at the beginning. My name is Cassandra Alexandros, I was born in New York.. and I was born Quirkless. My family resented me immediately and I suffered greatly for that. They were violent, cruel and abusive... but still they tried to get me a quirk. They heard tales of scientists working on such things in Japan and so we came here to get a quirk. When that failed, they abandoned me in Japan where I became a ward of the state, or so I would call it if I was still in the states. I was eight.
I was bullied horribly, physically by boys and girls. The teachers never cared, they even encouraged it. The worst bully used their quirk on me, a girl with an electric quirk. At first I did nothing but on my ninth birthday, I snapped and beat my bullies bloody. From then on I would always fight back, beating harder and hitting smarter. I am tiny but mighty. I never showed mercy, knowing I could not afford to. They would always just arrest me, never questioning my attackers or the teachers or the bullies, my status as a quirkless girl was enough for the police. Eventually, after going in and out of Juvie for six months to make a point, I was moved to Aldera Middle School with the warning that if I put another person in the hospital I would be in Juvie until I was an adult.
In that time, I realized that I wanted to be a hero. Not just to show that being quirkless does not need to impede you, but also for people that needed it. The cops never really helped nor did they have the influence that I wanted to have. Heroes could make a difference through effort and presence. So, I started to take my life more seriously. I was eleven when this happened, so I started to work really hard.
I started working out daily. Jogging, lifting weights, swimming etc. After I got into shape, after about six or so months, I took an under-the-table job twice a week to pay for self-defense classes which then transferred into Mix Martial Arts classes which I have been doing for about two years, three days a week. I took a tumbling class each summer to learn how to fall and gain flexibility and grace, and a first aid class to help with rescue missions. It cost me a pretty penny, all of it, but I did all I could to do this. I tell you this to prove that I am intent on becoming a hero, that I am working and not going to rely on one factor.
I am fourteen now and by the time I am writing this letter, the entrance exam is in one month. I aim to become a hero, to destroy the exam and prove my worth. I know my record is not amazing, but there were circumstances that sort of forced my hands. I did what I had to do in order to survive. So I ask now for a real chance, to prove my mettle and become the hero that I know I can become with the training provided by UA.
Thank you,
Yours, Cassandra Alexandros.
Shaking, Cassie moved her hands from her keyboard. "I can only hope that this is enough..." Taking a deep breath, she pressed send and watched as the email sent. "Please be enough... please, please, please..." Knowing she had nothing else to do, she moved to the matt by her bed and started doing crunches, anything to keep her mind off of the stress of potential denial...
Chapter end, tell me what you think in the reviews.
This was beyond fun.
Love, your Ninja Overlord,
Mika.
