In a Superhuman Society

by Stonecreek

A world with quirks means its people are wind up rather quirky. Whether heroes, villains, or somewhere in-between, every BnHA character deserves to have their story told. These are but tiny 100-word snippets of their lives, told one a day, every day, in 2023. Newest chapter: Mina Ashido is a vivacious hero in training. She's equally enthusiastic about her classmates' love lives.

205. Mocha

A.N. — We're in a run of rather anonymous characters to offset the pretty loaded slate at the end of July and early August. Today's little guy was more adorable (?) than most of his brethren, but that didn't save him from a grisly fate.

205. Mocha

Mocha was never going to survive Mirko's kick, but that wasn't the point. Giving the Doctor time to escape was more important than his continued existence.

Kyudai had created Mocha to be the most loyal Nomu, a lapdog in all senses of the word. Distinctly diminutive and cuter than his cohorts, Mocha was more pet-like (and inherently subservient) than the others. But when scrutinized, that veneer of approachability melted away. Human noses masquerading as cat ears, and tennis shoes stolen from a corpse... Mocha was composed of discarded leftovers, and was truly a being only his creator could love.
