A.N. — Happy birthday to the mediator of the Todoroki family, Fuyumi! I could've gone so many directions with your drabble: sibling relationships, father issues (or seeming lack thereof), musing on her quirk not measuring up... Instead, I chose to examine a topic covered by others, but from a different angle.
340. Fuyumi Todoroki
Wrangling a classroom of children was easier for Fuyumi than navigating the tension in the Todoroki house - more rewarding, too. At school Fuyumi could ensure each pupil of hers was valued and cared for, something her own upbringing had been sorely lacking in. She taught both book and life lessons, imparting wisdom she'd earned through hard work and hard times.
It was simpler to be the best version of herself away from her father's stifling influence. As Miss Todoroki, the expectations placed upon Fuyumi were reasonable and defined. But as Endeavor's lone daughter, Fuyumi always fell short in his estimation.
