“ Evil is unspectacular and always human, And shares our bed and eats at our own table. ” – W. H. Auden

villain verse, in which a series of unfortunate events shake up tsuyu’s life

(aka, tsuyu probably would never be a villain unless everything was heavily dramatized, so here we are. warning for mentions of death.)

At a painfully young age, Asui Tsuyu realized that true heroes were in short supply. Real heroes. Ones who didn’t dare abuse their powers. Ones who fought for good – not for fame or a paycheck. Ones who stuck it through until the end because it was the right thing to do.

In short, heroes who didn’t leave her parents to perish when a villain rode in on a wave of destruction, death following in their footsteps.

There were no living relatives to be seen. (What you see is what you get.) The remainder of the Asui family was swept to the side, into a sea of paperwork and childcare institutions. Reluctant to be left to the mercy of the tide, Tsuyu picked up the slack where their various institutions failed. She wasn’t exactly big in a literal sense, but she had the sister part down sound enough. With Big Sis on the case, their froggy family got along alright. Bullies made the mistake of coming near her family exactly once.

Her teachers raised the question, the possibility, of attending a hero school. More than once, she brushed off the praise concerning her quirk, her agility, her ease. Even then, she knew being a hero wasn’t the right fit for her, although she had yet to figure out what was. The constant reminder of her siblings needing a guiding hand, always buzzed in the back of her mind. Even if she had wanted to attend, she had no time for some prestigious hero school.

Eventually, a few spats with overworked and underconcerned caretakers got her kicked to the curb – if they thought they could get away with pushing her, they would think the same went for her little siblings, and Tsuyu wasn’t about to let that happen. With a decent stash of money built up from her exploits over the years, she had enough to keep her siblings and herself afloat. She pulled Samidare and Satsuki out of that hellhole, and into a cozy apartment.

Stealing paid well, and a few sketchy faces, both villains and not, had apparently noticed the girl tripping up some not-so-righteous heroes – they noticed enough to slip her an envelope stuffed with bills. She knew her own actions weren't all too righteous either, but they were necessary.

New apartment, fresh food, and a slick outfit? What wasn't to like?

She kept it up.

alterations

age: appears to be somewhere in her early twenties, but her exact age is unclear. she’s fudged a lot of paperwork. she wanted to get custody of her siblings as soon as possible. (takes place about five years after when tsuyu would have entered yuuei. she’s ~20.)

alias: kaeru (変える, change) – not to be confused with kaeru (蛙, frog). both are a bit on the nose, and she knows people will get the two mixed up anyways, but given her beliefs, it’s a no-brainer (and a fun pun).

family:

samidare (brother)

satsuki (sister)

ganma (father, deceased)

beru (mother, deceased)

affiliations: dedicated to her family and herself above all else. steals for the benefit of her family. more of an anti-villain than a straight-up villain. she holds disdain towards most heroes, but only attacks with justification. may be particularly harsh towards heroes she thinks abuse their fame or power. her motivations are admittedly skewed. while a villain was the one to kill her parents, that was to be expected. heroes were the ones who failed to do their job; they enstated a code and then broke it. Because villains have only personal codes that they adhere to, and don't disillusion themselves as heroes do, she typically holds villains in a higher regard than heroes.

supplies: an outfit similar to her canon hero outfit, but without all the bells and whistles. patterned like a green and black poison dart frog. no goggles, but she does have a small, black mask that goes over her eyes. still has a belt, which now has some snazzy pouches on it. hint: don't let her reach those pouches. with her poison dart frog rebranding comes some new fighting techniques. because she lacks fight-ending moves, she makes up for it by carrying around sedatives and poisons.
