Shino Sosaki, the Pro Hero Mandalay, leads the rescue-oriented hero team Wild, Wild Pussycats. She possesses brown eyes and red hair featuring three distinctive bangs across her face. Her standard costume is red, incorporating cat-inspired elements like whisker-like eye markings and functional cat-ear headphones. Eight years after the Final War, her costume gains an update adding paw gloves with brown palm pads. In civilian life, she prefers reserved clothing: knee-length skirts, dark leggings, high-heeled shoes, and turtleneck sweaters. Mandalay exhibits a generally calm and gentle demeanor, contrasting with her teammate Pixie-Bob's energetic personality, yet shares the team's eccentricity. She occasionally teases others, such as U.A. High students about their training or her nephew Kota about his shoes resembling Izuku Midoriya's. Demonstrating consistent concern for others' wellbeing, especially Kota and U.A. students, she maintains pragmatism during missions. Her Quirk, Telepath, allows her to transmit messages mentally to specific individuals or groups across wide distances. This one-way communication relays information but cannot receive responses or read minds. Tactically, she uses it to coordinate allies and disorient opponents, as seen when distracting Spinner. Her hero equipment includes clawed cat gloves for slashing attacks and cat-ear headphones for team communication.

As Kota Izumi's aunt and legal guardian following his parents' deaths, she offers emotional support, helping him understand their sacrifice to save lives. She integrates him into her hero work, including visits to the Pussycats' mountain rescue headquarters. Leading the Wild, Wild Pussycats involves specialized mountain rescues and student training. Team costumes follow color-coding, with Mandalay assigned red. Their hero names reference cat breeds, "Mandalay" denoting a sleek black New Zealand variety. During the Forest Training Camp, Mandalay uses Telepath to warn U.A. students of villain attacks and issues the critical directive permitting lethal force against Muscular to protect Kota. Fighting the League of Villains, she pins Spinner before his escape via Kurogiri's intervention. After teammate Ragdoll's Quirk is stolen by All For One, Mandalay assumes greater coordination duties. In the Paranormal Liberation War, she facilitates large-scale communication among heroes battling threats like Gigantomachia. Later appearances show her aiding war recovery efforts, collaborating with Shoji to locate survivors and participating in U.A.'s security measures. Her character development reflects adaptation to shifting team dynamics and wartime demands. While maintaining core traits of compassion and tactical leadership, she exhibits increased resilience following Ragdoll's incapacitation and during prolonged conflicts.
