Pony Tsunotori is a Japanese-American student who enrolled in U.A. High School's Class 1-B to train as a Pro Hero. She stands at 155 cm (5'1") with a short stature, a round face, a short equine muzzle, thick wavy blonde hair reaching halfway down her back, and Prussian blue eyes. Her distinct equine features include pale tan lyre-shaped horns, horse-like rounded calves, brown hooves for feet, and a short horse tail extending from her tailbone.
Her horse-themed hero costume consists of an orange skin-tight shirt with paler markings around the chest and stomach, matching pants, fingerless gloves, and boots with stirrups protecting her hooves. She wears belts secured around her collarbone, biceps, and lower torso, and a horse halter headpiece with a lead rope. The costume's stirrups and saddle-like design enable others to ride her during combat or rescue operations.
Personality-wise, Pony is timid, kind, orderly, somewhat naïve, and innocent. As a foreigner, her Japanese language skills are limited, leading to misunderstandings; she reverts to English when angry or flustered. She unwittingly learned and repeated offensive phrases from Neito Monoma without grasping their meanings, using them against Class 1-A. Despite her generally friendly demeanor, she made derogatory comments toward Mezo Shoji during a joint training battle, calling him an "octopus" and stating she disliked looking at him. She is highly observant, diligent, and tactical in combat, prioritizing team strategy and perseverance. Her interests include anime and manga, which she shares with Class 1-B through viewing parties, significantly influencing their cultural knowledge.
Pony's Quirk, Horn Cannon, allows her to detach and telekinetically control her horns as projectiles. She regrows horns immediately after detachment and manipulates up to four simultaneously for precision attacks, transportation, or defense. Uncontrolled horns act as standard projectiles. Her horns exhibit high durability, capable of cracking Shoto Todoroki's ice constructs and piercing Mashirao Ojiro's tail. She uses them for mobility by balancing atop them to "fly" or surf and can carry allies, demonstrated when launching Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu. Her physical attributes include horse-like speed and strength, enabling her to run on all fours while carrying classmates like Togaru Kamakiri.
Her techniques include Horn Dash Hammer, a combined attack telekinetically launching an ally like Tetsutetsu toward an enemy; Thunder Horn, a barrage of projectiles with four horns held in reserve; and Horn Surf, using horns for high-speed aerial mobility.
Academically, her Ultra Analysis Book ratings are Power C, Speed B-, Technique A, Wits C, and "Simplistic Japanese" A, reflecting her combat agility, technical proficiency with her Quirk, average tactical intellect, and limited Japanese fluency.
During the U.A. Sports Festival, she participated in the cavalry battle, showcasing her speed and physical strength. In the Joint Training Battle against Class 1-A, she demonstrated strategic acumen by separating Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji, pinning Shoji temporarily, and assisting Tetsutetsu. When overwhelmed, she prioritized avoiding direct confrontation to stall for time, resulting in a draw. Her tactical decision-making grew, such as using her horns to capture Ojiro.
Post-U.A., Pony graduated and became a professional Hero, continuing her career alongside classmates.
Her surname combines the kanji for "horn" (角) and "take" (取), while her first name is the English word "pony" phonetically adapted (ポニー). Her birthday is April 21, making her the oldest in Class 1-B during their first year. She shares a favorite food, apples, with Fumikage Tokoyami and Eri.
