MARIBEL HEARN

A little gloomy, but is quick to try and make friends.
Mystified by her own quirk.

Her quirk used to give her nightmares, but as she discovered what it could do, she began to cast away her fear. Maribel came with her dad from overseas at the age of 4, their family name dates back at least 300 years. The girl is mildly attracted to status, believing it to be something to aim for and directing any envy she may find towards overcoming her perceived inadequacy.

"I am Maribel Hearn, but just call me Merry, it's easier to pronounce."

Words from an acquaintance — Doremy Sweet

"One of the more mysterious youkai I've gotten to know. She's a little awkward in how she responds and is quite reckless too, she must be young. And her ability reminds me a little of one of the moon princesses, it is great that she's not as powerful or troubling."

QUIRK: BOUNDARY MANIPULATION

Mystical Feelings

A carryover from her relatives despite the mutated state of her quirk, she can feel the spiritual presence of objects and people, quirks especially. It has given her a mighty dislike of Lycoris and other creepy things.

Her iris becomes an eerie purple, making her see the boundaries of the world!

This emitter quirk can create portals in space-time and even manipulate the boundaries of dreams with a range almost unheard of! It seems like it makes her mysteriously stronger, quicker and more in tune with her environment too. Currently it seems that the quirk is growing in power on its own and especially when it becomes night, it is unusual.

The boundaries have their own limits and her quirk does too!

When overburdened, the boundaries that she manipulated will become fuzzy and unrecognizable for a while, making them harder to control. The quirk has its own limits too and overstepping it induces headaches and nausea, even bleeding from the mouth if pushed beyond that. It seems that as long as the quirk is active, she will become more manic.

HERO NAME: Undecided

Hero Suitability

Self-Centered and Risk Taking
Her personal reason for becoming a hero is particularly self-centered around growing as a person. She doesn't actively seek heroism and may endanger lightly if she believes she can learn from it.

Inventive and Adaptive
She has a keen eye for spotting issues and adapting to enemy strategies, as well as quickly improvising new ways of using her quirk. Her belief in decisive victory gears her toward a more strategic mindset, even if she doesn't always get to show it.

Here's a little trivia section. I'm actually very attentive to detail when I'm writing this stuff, why? It makes the story interesting.

When I started writing the fic, Maribel created 'cracked' gaps that looked much like fractures, they had an almost uncontrollable shape. When that night came, she figured out and felt how to control it, thus leading to more controlled gaps that could be round, or oval for example. I have also explicitly referred to Maribel's gaps as 'windows' and 'plain', this is because they are not black, glowing purple or filled with eyes, they are not like Yukari's. That's something she will develop eventually however, and it'll be a milestone.

You might also be wondering why she's getting stronger or getting angry and reckless the longer she sees the boundaries, and I think you've figured it out by now. Maribel is ever so slowly drifting away from humanity and her 'quirk' is the catalyst of that. A peer boundary manipulator, namely Yukari, could stop a fully grown man swinging a weapon with a single finger, casually. As for her behavior, she is 'young' in a specific sense and is a little unstable because of that. In general she has not even dipped her feet into the pool yet, she'll start doing much more than just opening portals as time goes.
