Tatami Nakagame, a second-year Ketsubutsu Academy student ascending to Pro Hero status, combines a muscular frame and pale complexion with striking features: short ash-blonde hair spiked like fish fins, rectangular blue eyes framed by bold lashes, and sharp, Kirishima-like teeth. Her aquamarine hero suit integrates turtle motifs—shell-patterned shoulder guards and fish-shaped earrings—underscoring her aquatic theme. Her Quirk, Telescopic, grants turtle-like retraction of limbs, head, and torso for rapid evasion, though reemerging demands strategic timing. This defensive prowess aids rescue operations and combat agility, amplified by techniques like Rocket Punch for explosive strikes and Rocket Dash for high-speed mobility. Naturally sociable and upbeat, Tatami openly idolizes U.A.’s Class 1-A, securing Shoto Todoroki’s autograph mid-Provisional License Exam. Yet her warmth pairs with blunt honesty, exemplified when critiquing classmate Yo Shindo’s ineffective evacuation tactics. Their dynamic shifts from friction to romance as she pushes Shindo to shed superficial charm for genuine self-expression. At the Provisional Exam, her class ambushes U.A. students, her Telescopic evasion dodging Tokoyami’s assault. They pass by exploiting rival schools’ focus on U.A., later showcasing her rescue skills by organizing first-aid zones and civilian evacuations during simulated disasters. Post-graduation, Tatami partners with Shindo for Work-Studies. Facing Muscular in the Dark Hero Arc, she evacuates civilians while Midoriya thwarts Shindo’s near-fatal encounter. Witnessing Shindo’s brush with death finally sways distrustful evacuees to heed her directives, though she laments missing the chance to thank Midoriya. In the Final War, she aids in cornering Skeptic’s stronghold and volunteers to reinforce Midoriya against All For One and Shigaraki, teleporting via Kurogiri to the battlefield’s heart. Born January 23 in Aichi Prefecture with blood type A, Tatami adopts the hero name Turtleneck, embodying both her Quirk and her role as Shindo’s grounding counterpart, balancing his impulsivity with pragmatic resolve.
