Toru Hagakure possesses a permanently active, hereditary Quirk called Invisibility, which refracts light to render her body unseen. Her parents share this trait. Glimpses of her appearance, revealed only when refracting intense light sources like Yuga Aoyama’s Navel Laser, show wavy chartreuse hair with pink accents, large round eyes featuring teal-and-yellow irises, and thick eyelashes. She has a notably short stature. Clothing and objects do not turn invisible, requiring nudity for complete stealth; this leaves her vulnerable to environmental hazards and physical attacks. Her hero costume evolved from minimal gloves and boots to include a specialized suit preventing accidental visibility during Quirk malfunctions. Her personality is cheerful, optimistic, and sociable. She actively engages in conversations, enjoys shopping and cute items like plush toys, and maintains a supportive role among peers. Toru strategizes combat around her Quirk, often disrobing for tactical advantage despite occasional embarrassment. She demonstrates keen observational skills, noticing behavioral shifts in classmates like Yuga Aoyama, and shows emotional vulnerability when confronting betrayal. During the U.A. Sports Festival, she persuaded reluctant classmates to participate in cheerleading after a prank, highlighting her adaptability. Her room in the U.A. dorms reflected stereotypically feminine aesthetics. Her abilities center on stealth and light manipulation. She excels in espionage, surprise attacks, and evasion. Training refined her capacity to refract ambient or artificial light into blinding flashes (Warp Refraction: Say Cheese!) and redirect energy-based attacks like Aoyama’s Navel Laser (Warp Refraction: Navel Laser). Her combat style combines these techniques with close-range strikes. Quirk limitations include vulnerability to sensory-based detection and environmental exposure. Absorbing amplified light during the Final War caused temporary visibility glitches. Stat assessments note lower physical power but high cooperation and technique ratings. She interned under Yoroi Musha to enhance offensive and defensive applications. Key narrative involvements include early U.A. training, such as a battle trial with Mashirao Ojiro against Shoto Todoroki and Mezo Shoji, where full invisibility failed against sensory Quirks. She was warped alongside Todoroki during the U.S.J. villain attack but overlooked during his counterassault. In the U.A. Sports Festival, she ranked 38th in the obstacle race and formed a cavalry team that lost points after Neito Monoma stole her headband. For Final Exams, she partnered with Mezo Shoji to defeat Snipe by exploiting stealth. During the Forest Training Camp attack, Mustard’s gas incapacitated her, requiring rescue by Aoyama. She played a key role in discovering Aoyama’s coerced espionage for All For One during the Paranormal Liberation War arc, leading to his exposure. In the Final War, she participated by refracting All For One’s Omni-Factor Unleash to protect allies. Post-series, she graduated from U.A. and attained the rank of No. 39 Pro Hero.
