Shifting Tides
Read the storyA story centered on Katsuki Bakugou and Izuku Midoriya (and Eijirou Kirishima sometimes), along with my character Sophia! Sophia is an 18-year-old going on 19 (Birthday May 11th, 2007) — a chubby girl, confident, with dark brown eyes and medium-length tight curls — who favors comfy, baggy clothes. She’s cheerful and friendly and seen as too bubbly at first, with a witty, playful side once comfortable. Pansexual and polyamorous, she comes from a mixed Hawaiian, Filipino background. She loves sage green, auburn orange, hibiscus, and sleep, and is shy along with oblivious in romantic situations. Her skin is marked with small, meaningful tattoos: “07” on her left hand, a star on the inside of each wrist, a rose on her chest, a purple-hibiscus lineart piece across her upper chest, Bubbles from The Powerpuff Girls on her right shoulder blade, and Japanese text for “courage” on her thigh. Even though sage green is her favorite color, she doesn’t actually wear much of it, and mostly sticks to dark shades unless it’s cutsy outfits. The story follows Sophia being infatuated with Izuku first, quietly wanting him all through their UA days until she finally confesses, only for him to turn her down because of everything weighing on him at the time. Years later, the roles switch — Sophia goes from “I want it bad” to “I can’t,” while Izuku goes from “I can’t” to “I want it bad,” finally realizing her feelings when she’s no longer sure she can be that person for him. Katsuki remains a constant in both their lives, while Kirishima stays one of Sophia’s closest friends, keeping her tied to the world she thought she had already moved on from. Sophia lives with her 48-year-old mother named Serena, and her 21-year-old sister named Gabriel along with their orange tabby cat named Prince Caspian. Sophia is in her second year of college when the story takes off
