Ibara Shiozaki, hero name Vine, trains as a Pro Hero student in U.A. High School's Class 1-B. Her appearance features distinctive green, thorn-covered vines functioning as hair, typically kept just above waist length, with two vines forming a cross shape across her forehead. Her initial hero costume is a plain white robe paired with dark brown or black knee-high boots, suggesting an ancient Greco-Roman style. A later costume consists of a strapless white dress, ornate red earrings, and her vines styled in a ponytail. Deeply modest and humble, Shiozaki holds strong religious convictions, frequently referencing divine beings, heaven, and sin. She champions honesty and fair play, openly condemning deceitful strategies. Despite her generally pacifistic and polite nature, she exhibits vindictiveness towards perceived immorality, harshly judging actions like Jurota Shishida's strategic deception or rival Class 1-A's methods. She values truth, often apologizing for morally ambiguous tactics such as ambushing Gigantomachia. Her Quirk, Vines, grants control over her vine-like hair, enabling extension, detachment, and use for offense, defense, and reconnaissance, with notable resistance to electricity. Regrowth requires sufficient sunlight and water. Key techniques include Via Dolorosa (area-wide vine traps), Crucifixion (suspended immobilization spheres), Faith’s Shield (defensive walls), and Big Tree (simultaneous blocking/capturing). Statistically, she excels in technique but possesses average power, speed, and cooperativeness. Academically, Shiozaki ranked fourth in the U.A. Entrance Exam through balanced combat and rescue scores. She placed fourth in the Sports Festival Obstacle Race. Her Cavalry Battle team failed to advance after employing underhanded tactics to steal headbands, an action she later regretted. Granted a tournament bracket spot, she defeated Denki Kaminari by insulating his electricity with Crucifixion but lost to Tenya Ida's speed in the next round. Incapacitated by Mustard's gas during the Forest Training Camp villain attack, she was rescued by Tetsutetsu Tetsutetsu and Yui Kodai. She later passed the Provisional Hero License Exam. During Joint Training, her team's strategy against Class 1-A involved her vines for reconnaissance. She captured Eijiro Kirishima and Denki Kaminari but was brainwashed by Hitoshi Shinso, inadvertently aiding Class 1-A's victory, prompting post-match remorse. For her work-study, she joined the Lurkers (Edgeshot, Kamui Woods, Mt. Lady) alongside Denki Kaminari, Hanta Sero, and Minoru Mineta. During *World Heroes’ Mission*, she assisted the Lurkers in neutralizing a Humarise trigger-bomb threat in Cairo. After the bomb's deactivation, she prayed for Izuku Midoriya's safety amidst false criminal accusations. She graduates from U.A. and becomes a Pro Hero. Her design incorporates Christian symbolism: thorned hair evoking Jesus's crown, a saintly robe, bread as her favorite food (referencing communion), and ultimate moves named after biblical terms. Her original hero name was "Maria," later changed to "Vine."
