Tomoko Shiretoko (Ragdoll) – April 8th

Chapter 72 - Day Two

What Did They Do to Ragdoll?

During the training arc camp, All For One kidnapped and kept Ragdoll/Tomoko Shiretoko, the other main victim of that arc alongside Bakugo. While not discussed as much as him, Ragdoll is still an important figure in the discussion of Nomu and All For One, which would become very important later into the series. It’s also a good measurement for the timeline around the construction of Aizawa’s backstory and the traitor reveal, which I discussed in the previous chapter. 

To start, All For One doesn’t need to grab people entirely to take their quirks. We’ve seen in Vigilantes that, with the help of Kurogiri, he is able to take people’s quirks in seconds. This occurs before either of them are arrested, so theoretically, he could have used Kurogiri’s help if he wanted to simply take her quirk and leave. 

However, that isn’t what happened, as her body disappeared mysteriously off-screen, with only vague estimates of when she was taken. 

Given the bloodstain, she was implied to have been brutally murdered, her body mysteriously missing. However, the next time we see her, she has no visible injuries. While unharmed, she’s shown to be catatonic, wet, and naked, due to having been in one of the same tanks that other Nomu were kept. 

Ragdoll is 31 at this time, so “quite awhile” could mean anything from a few years to over a decade. I doubt it’s less than a year, as AFO’s immortal status gives him a skewed sense of time. 

Despite her lack of quirk, and her hero status, she was still kept in the same warehouse as the other Nomu. Most Nomu are modeled after random villains, but she was a hero, and one that would draw attention from the authorities. However, it’s most likely that the discovery of the warehouse was unintentional, and that Bakugo’s kidnapping was used as the cover for her own murder/kidnapping. 

As a side note that adds to this theory, Ragdoll is the name of a breed of cat, but it also refers to a toy. Nomu, notably, have been referred to as “insane toys”. Given Horikoshi’s love of puns and name meanings, I doubt this was a coincidence. 

Therefore, this marks the first time we’ve seen the beginnings of the process of someone being turned into a Nomu, and the second time we’ve seen an established hero be on the chopping block. Ironically, it’s most likely that Kurogiri was the one that collected her body. 

She has a few other similarities to Kurogiri that I find to be notable as I’m interested in figuring out the timeline of the creation of Aizawa’s backstory. For one, Tomoko Shiretoko is phonetically similar to Oboro Shirakumo. Secondly, it was her idea to form an agency with her friends, also shared with Shirakumo. Their quirks are both being used to aid AFO against their will. They were both murdered/kidnapped and taken to be “modified”, though only one made it out relatively unscathed (though still quirkless and traumatized). 

Headed more into theory territory, but search would be a convenient match for warp gate, which can open portals as long as there’s coordinates. Search can reveal the location of up to 100 people at once. While it ended up with All For One, it’s entirely possible it could have been given back to the Ragdoll Nomu, or possibly even given to Kurogiri himself.

Can we get one of your Quirk Combos for Cloud and Search?

Now I'm just thinking about Aizawa, Yamada, and Oboro each being paired off with one of the Wild Wild Pussycat girls. Man, wouldn't that being an interesting triple date.

New Quirk Name: Sky's Eye

This Emitter type Quirk allows the user to make small, thick yellow clouds from their hands the size of the user's head. The user can move and control these clouds over medium ranges. The clouds are thick enough to hold on to and can contain small objects. The user can see through every part of the clouds, similar to seeing through a fog, as shown by similar clouds appearing around their eyes. The user can have the clouds follow and swirl around specific objects or people, regardless of how fast they move, letting the user constantly track where someone or something is going. The user can still control the clouds while they do this, such as by making them move out of harm's way. This gives the user a good support power, able to keep track of whatever is going on from a distance with their eyes in the sky. The can follow wherever their enemies go, find people trapped or lost, use them as security cameras, grab onto the clouds to fly on them, or simply use them to deliver items to people. Though the clouds can be destroyed, either by leaving the user's range or being destroyed by people they are following. The Quirk is lacking outside of support and utility options, and the user can only have twenty of the clouds active at any given time.

Hey! I am 19 and I am looking for other 18+ lit - adv. lit people to write something based on My Hero Academia. I am a slow replier, so please don’t expect anything rapid-fire. 

Anyway! I currently have way too much muse for a handful of canon characters (especially Giran. Please, I am desperate). I am mainly interested in writing them against other canons, but I am (potentially) open to ocs. I’m very open to doubling, and I’m down to do either ccxcc or ocxcc for your side.

My muses/ship (bolded is the character I want to write):

Bakugou Katsuki x any member of class a, b or Shinsou Hatsume Mei x Yayorozu Momo Kaibara Sen x any member of class a or b Ragdoll / Shiretoko Tomoko x Mandalay, Pixie-bob, Midoriya Inko, Thirteen, others Hawks / Takami Keigo x Dabi, Twice, Shigaraki, Aizawa, Spinner, others Giran / Okuto Kagerou x Twice, Kurogiri, others All Might / Yagi Toshinori x Tsukauchi, Nighteye, Aizawa, David Shield, Midoriya Inko, others

I have a few different plot ideas depending on the ship, both canon-verse and AU. In general, I’m a big fan of complex relationships, gray morality, character studies, hurt/comfort, trauma recovery and domestic fluff. I’m open to a fair amount of darker topics and themes, with a handful of exceptions. 

Like this and I’ll get in contact! I usually write on discord
