QUIRK
Quirk name: Presto!
Quirk Description: By touching something, Natalia can break it down into atoms which she can transport and reconstruct them in another location so long as it’s within her line of vision.
Quirk type: Emitter
Quirk drawbacks:
*When Natty overuses her quirk, she starts to get tired. The heaver the object or the more of them she has to move, the more tired she gets. If she uses it too much, she passes out.
*When Natty passes out, anything she's holding or is in the process of transporting snaps back to where it originally was.
*Her quirk follows the 'five-finger contact' rule.
Weaknesses:
Disregard for Authority – While Natty doesn’t have anything against rules, Pro-heroes or police officers personally, she doesn’t respect them either. She’ll follow orders up until she feels that they’re wrong and then run off to do her own thing. This regularly gets her into trouble and, in the cases where her opinion is wrong, can cause serious problems for her and everyone else.
Sprinter- Natty lacks durability and her endurance is pretty low. If a fight drags on for too long, she will be forced to withdraw. Because of that Natty always tries to finish it off as quickly as possible with quick bursts of attacks broken up by periods of hiding to catch her breath and make plans.
Subconscious Showboater – Natty likes taking the lead and making a scene. She springs into action at the drop of a hat and is always ready with a plan...however, she doesn’t like the attention her actions usually create. Once other people start directly complementing her or expecting her to lead, Natty shrinks into the background until the attention stops so she can bounce back to the front again. As you’d expect this contradiction can cause HUGE issues, especially when she works with others and ends up looking like a backseat driver.
Sensitive Scars – When Natty was young, she was punished a lot. The Villains group her father was a part of was quick and eager to punish her at any misstep using whatever they had at their disposal. Her father was easily the worse though, as he would use his quirk to force her to shoot and cut herself in the same places over and over until the scars refused to heal properly. These scars, scattered all over her body, hidden beneath her clothes, and touching them causes her to freeze up.
Fighting style: Natty is a solo show who likes to fight quick and smart. Her usual strategy is to stay at a distance and use her quirk and gadgets to attack while using her snarky attitude to infuriate enemies. When she is forced into traditional combat she’s usually on the defensive, trying to either use an opponent’s strength against them or waiting for just the right moment to land a blow.

PERSONAL
Personality:
Independent - Natalia always stands up for herself and prefers to handle problems on her own.
Quick-Thinking- She thinks on her feet, always ready with a new strategy and a witty remark.
Optimistic- It’s her belief that as long as you try hard, you’ll always find a way to succeed.
Generous- She loves to pick up checks or buy gifts, even for strangers, as part of her ‘hero work’.
Mischievous- Trouble isn’t her middle name but it might be a cousin of hers as she can be quite the trickster.
Competitive- There’s nothing like a challenge to Natalia and she always goes at full throttle to win.
Enthusiastic- Her eagerness to make friends and do her best can be a bit much for some people.
Cocky- Natalia has the pride of a lion, making her do too much and be miserable when she she can’t do it.
Rebellious- She doesn’t want anyone to hold her back and decide what’s right for her which generally has poor results.
Stubborn- Once she’s set her mind on something, it’d take the end of the world itself to keep her from it.
Bitter- A part of Natalia still holds a grudge against Pro-Heros, for never being there to save her, and quirks that control others, for how they were used to hurt her.
History:
Ace’s Hand was once a fierce criminal organization. Unlike the super villain groups that flooded the world, these people silently pulled the strings of powerful businessmen and even a few ‘pro heroes’ through vicious acts of murder, blackmail and manipulation. They were incredibly wealthy and powerful, yet those who knew too much were quietly disposed and any attempt made to prosecute them fell flat leaving them free to do as they pleased.
The leader of the group, one of the most twisted and cruel of them all, was also Natalia’s father. At a young age, she was removed entirely from her mother’s custody and raised among the other members of Ace’s Hand. At first Natty wasn't sure what to expect. Up until this point she'd rarely seen her father and was even a bit excited at getting to be with him. However, that dream was quickly dashed. Her parents had a terrible relationship and her father had only taken her out of spite. Other than a few moments where he stepped in to keep her from being killed or to punish her for running away, he was too busy to pay her any attention. Left alone and surrounded by sadists, Natty was insulted, beaten and humiliated at every turn. As time went on, Natty found herself growing more and more interested in heroes. She longed to be a part of the world where good triumphed over evil and tried to comfort herself with the thought that someday, a hero might save her. Sadly, those hero never came.
Instead, there was Yosuke Kaneshiro. A Japanese man, he’d joined the group as a way to save his parents after they’d gotten tangled up with them. He was a brilliant lawyer who’d pulled many of the group’s criminals out of prison. Kaneshiro sympathized with Natalia because, he was also disrespected for being the only quirkless member. Though there was little he could do to defend Natty from against the other criminals, he took her under his wing and kept her company and in return Natalia love him dearly. It became the two of them against the world.
But then came the reveal of Natalia's quirk. For a long time, it was believed that Natty was as quirkless as her 'babysitter' until a particular villain began sexually harassing her and in a moment of fear, transported herself away. The reveal of her quirk led to her father suddenly taking an interest in her again, especially in the reason she hadn't shown anyone her quirk before. Though Natalia was reluctant to say anything, she eventually revealed that she'd been a late bloomer and that when she got her quirk, Kaneshiro had asked her not to tell. When Kaneshiro was pressed for a reason, his explanation was that he believed it would be a source of unnecessary empowerment for a person who was little more than a punching bag and a distraction. Of course, this was a lie. The truth was that he feared her quirk would be abused if discovered and his fear was well founded. Already Natalia's father was working to find a practical use for his daughter's quirk. He believed Kaneshiro's story and let him off the hook with minimal punishment. After all Kaneshiro had never once betrayed the group's trust, even when it had been in best interest, and was a quirkless nobody besides. What trouble could he cause?
Not long after this, Kaneshiro suddenly invited Natalia on an outing. He said that her father had given him some work to do and that she'd been allowed to go with him. She eagerly agreed. To her delight she actually was taken out to ice cream where Kaneshiro asked if she wanted to go to live in Japan with him, assuming her father didn't say no. The odds of this seemed slim, but Natty agreed and the moment she did, Kaneshiro pulled out a pair of plane tickets. "Well then," He laughed. "We better get going."
None of this made any sense to Natty until they arrived at the airport and happened to see the news playing on a TV. Every Pro-hero and policeman in the city had received an anonymous email revealing every member, location and crime of the Ace's Hand in great detail. That day they had raded the group's main headquarters and arrested everyone they could find.
Except for the group's leader. He had already been found dead. He’d been killed from a poison that according to other members had been slipped into a glass of wine that a ‘Qurkless son of a b***h’ had brought him.
That was the last Natty heard of the Ace's Hand. She and Kaneshiro arrived safely in Japan and have since lived a very comfortable, happy life. Even so, Natty never forgot where she’d come. She held resentment for all the ‘heroes’ who’d lacked the spine to stand up to her father and save her when she’d needed it most. The idea being a better hero became a tempting challenge and, as luck would have it, one of the most prestigious hero academies in the world was now only a few cities away…

*Theme Song- 'Magic' by Mystery Skulls
*It's her very secret goal to use her training at UA to be a vigilante like her guardian.
*She knows how to drive. Still not legally allowed to, but she can.
*Though she has no memories of her mother, a bit of private investigation revealed that her mother had divorced her father soon after he took her into full custody and fled the country. She then remarried in Mexico, had two more kids and died of a drug overdose.
*Natalia’s quirk was entirely inherited from her mother.
*Her father's quirk was known as 'Lucifer's Contract' and allowed him to control people physically by writing commands in their blood. He often used his quirk to punish Natalia and as a result, she's skeptical about any quirk that involves controling others no matter who it comes from.
*Natalia always keeps a pack of playing cards on her.
*Natty refers to Kaneshiro by his last name or as her ‘Guardian’.
*She doesn’t like her school uniform at all and carries a change of clothes in her backpack so she can change the second school ends.
