Character Info
Character's Name: Shouto Todoroki Character's Canon: My Hero Academia Character's Age: 16 Canon Point: 166 Background/History:Here
Strengths:
* Loyal- If somebody's earned Shouto's trust then he trusts them fully and completely. They can ask for his help at anytime and Shouto will drop absolutely everything to go to their side. His best friend gives him a cryptic message and Shouto ditches his assignment to make sure his friend is safe. Later on, his friend suggests doing something illegal in the name of trying to get a classmate back, and Shouto still agrees.
When his friends face authorities, Shouto will always take his friend's side. It doesn't matter how far up the ladder they are, whether they're the police chief, pro hero or a teacher, he'll back up his friends. If he notices that they aren't how they usually are, he'll ask if they want to talk about it or try to comfort them as much as he can.
* Straightforward- In all things, Shouto is straightforward. He doesn't mince his words. Everything he says he means. When he says he's worried about something he very seriously means it, even if it's as silly as thinking he's the reason for a string of unfortunate coincidences. There's no deception with Shouto.
It can sometimes help give other people useful advice. Words alone don't mean much, but words and actions do. He speaks honestly and directly.
* Willing to work on his weaknesses- Shouto doesn't realize he's unobservant until somebody else points it out. But once he knows there is a problem, he works to fix it. Some things are easier, like listening to his partner during an exam. That's a weakness he solved right in the moment. Listening to his teammate's thoughts about how to solve a problem is something easy to fix.
Other things can take more time, like accepting that he's his own person separate from his father. He made progress in one day, and then backslid later in the day. It's not as easy to heal wounds that have existed for years. Though he does eventually talk to his mother to gain her well-wishes and he's finally able to use his ice and fire without his mental blocks.
Weaknesses:
* Spite- A lot of what Shouto does is based off of spite. Before his big character moment, the reason he was even pursuing heroics as a career was because he wanted to become better than Endeavor, his father. But he was going to do it his way, even if it meant intentionally handicapping himself. He didn't want to use his fire side because he still considered it his father's, so he did everything he could to not use it. Simply to spite his father.
It comes up again during an anime only scene, where Endeavor gets the credit for capturing a villain. An injured Shouto leaves the hospital to watch Endeavor's reaction specifically because he knows it's going to frustrate Endeavor.
* Unobservant- While Shouto is usually present and calculating during a fight, that same awareness isn't everywhere. When he fought a villain with Izuku for the first time, he didn't realize that he had seen those moves before. Shouto didn't notice that Izuku's fight style was exactly the same as one of his classmates, despite the fact that everybody else watching Izuku could immediately recognize those moves and where they came from.
Also while in the middle of a crisis siutation, Izuku was being supported by another one of their classmates. Izuku couldn't walk and Shouto only noticed it after somebody else said something. He'd been with Izuku and the rest of his classmates for a while at that point.
Shouto meets people and immediately forgets them as well. Granted, they only met once, but the other person was loud and trying very hard to be his friend.
* Lack of self care- When talking about his family situation, he focused specifically on his mother. He barely even touched on the fact that he was also physically abused. For years he was pushed past the breaking point all in the name of becoming a hero. Shouto thought he could be a hero with just his ice half, despite the fact that quickly makes him surrender to frost-bite. That's a perfectly acceptable consequence to him. He does things he knows aren't strictly legal in the name of his personal pride, and he'll deal with those consequences later.

Color: Blue: #57A7C5. It's the color of his left eye.
[ OPTIONAL ] World Aspect: Setting change: The Beast's Forest! Link. It's a big, dense forest. Despite the name, there aren't any beasts running amok.

The office contains a dining hall, hot springs and dorms.
