History Characters / MyHuntsmanAcademiaTeamMNVW

* DropTheHammer: Her weapon of choice is a large and powerful warhammer that converts itself into a GrenadeLauncher. It's implied that she chose a hammer because Ren gave her a toy wooden hammer to comfort her while they were both on the run.

* CountryMouse: Izuku from "the boonies" as Yang puts it and is in awe of Beacon's facilities from the minute he stepped in. He also lets Yang take him around Vale because he simply doesn't know where to go. This is exemplified even further in his interactions with Weiss, who chastises him for his Valite accent and relaxed mannerisms, telling him that he needs to learn how to present himself if he's going to be the Symbol of Peace. He is also completely unaware of Pyrrha's or Weiss's reputations at the start of the series until they lay it out for him. Pyrrha and Weiss find this somewhat refreshing and endearing.

* CoolLoser: After spending time with him, Yang wonders how a smart, fun, and sweet guy like Izuku could grow up friendless as a child. He attributes this to how crazy he sounded for wanting to become a Huntsman without an Aura or a Semblance. Izuku is equally surprised at how many friends he's made at Beacon by the time Color Week rolls around.
-->'''Yang:''' ''[slams back a drink]'' You know something I still don't get, Izuku?\\
'''Izuku:''' What's that Yang?\\
'''Yang:''' ''[indignant]'' For the life of me I still don't get how a guy like you could have a hard time making friends. I mean, sure you're shy but, Moon bullshit or no, it doesn't seem like it should've been hard for people to warm up to you. You're fun! You're exciting! That just doesn't fit with me.

* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: Subverted. Although he's the leader of Team MNVW and can pull his weight in a fight, Izuku recognizes that he's the weakest member of his team in terms of overall fighting prowess (albeit he can beat Weiss with some CombatPragmatism) who needs One For All: Full Cowl to stand a reasonable chance in any given fight. Nora even tells him that he'd still probably lose to Katsuki or Shoto in his current state and he doesn't even think of denying it.

* {{Expy}}: A weak, nerdy social pariah is suddenly granted amazing power by a twist of fate, putting them on the path to becoming an amazing hero. Are we talking about Izuku or [[Franchise/SpiderMan Peter Parker?]] Lampshaded heavily by the non-canon sidestory, "Spectacular What?" When Izuku starts writing about Spider-Man as a work of fiction, his teammates all immediately assume that he's writing a SelfInsertFic again until they go over his notes.

* MostFanficWritersAreGirls: Subverted. When he was a child, Izuku would write indulgent SelfInsertFic where he'd be an amazing Huntsman and get praised by Toshinori all day long. Even Pyrrha can't hold in her laughter when she learns how obviously terrible it is. In the non-canon sidestory, "Spectacular What?", the rest of Team MNVW catches him writing on [[BlandNameProduct GalaxySkirmishes]]. The story is about a powerless boy who suddenly gains amazing abilities and goes onto become a great hero. Naturally, they assume he's writing about himself again until he passes them his notes and outlines. The story's title? [[Franchise/SpiderMan "The Spectacular Spider-Man"]].

* TeensAreShort: 3/4 members of Team MNVW are [=5'3''=] or shorter at the start of the story. Izuku is explicitly noted to be short for his age thanks to growing up without an Aura, but has since started to catch up thanks to gaining One For All and his intense exercise regimen. The only one to avert this is Pyrrha, who is over six feet and feels awkward about it.

* TeensAreShort: Despite having her Aura all her life, Nora is a paltry [=5'1''=], which makes her even shorter than Weiss (in her heels) and Ruby, and is the shortest of the team (save Lulu, who is a puppy).

* TeensAreShort: Weiss is just [=5'3''=] ''while'' wearing her heels, making her the second shortest (ahead of Nora, but behind Pyrrha and Izuku).

* BoobsOfSteel: She has the largest bust size of Team MNVW, and she has the strongest base strength of the team (not counting Izuku's use of One For All).

** Emerald Gust is built with efficiency and sturdiness in mind rather than any sort of stylistic flair. It protects Izuku's hands and feet and packs a decent punch, but it lacks the special features associated with weapons like the Myrtenaster and Crescent Rose. The downside is that he has to engage the safeties when he wants to use grappling and judo techniques. As it gets upgraded, it leans it more towards SimpleYetAwesome. The functionality doesn't change, but its performance is greatly enhanced by a streamlined reloading mechanism, a buckler for deflecting attacks, and armor-piercing rounds that can ''vaporize'' the skulls of Alpha Beowolves.

** Emerald Gust gets continually upgraded as the series goes on. First, it gets a special retractable finger shield in order to allow Izuku to fire off his finger Smashes without destroying the gloves. He later has a small shield added to it for improved defense along with armor-piercing slugs to better penetrate armor, Auras, and Grimm hides on top of having the armor extended to the elbow to make room for a streamlined reloading mechanism. He also received even more upgrade ideas from Ruby and Tenya like reinforcing the soles of his boots. But these ideas are mostly theorycrafting according to Mei, who needs to conduct serious testing to make sure she can get it working. This of course, means that these upgrades will come at a pretty penny.

* BladeOnAStick: Miló can turn into a pilum, a heavy spear for both melee combat and throwing.

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: When Izuku mentions trying to get a job to help support the team, Weiss lays out several reasons why that would be a bad idea, including that two of their team are already independently wealthy, that given how Izuku trains there'd be no guarantee that he'd be always healed up and ready for work on time, that Izuku already overworks himself to an insane degree, and that at least at Beacon he's working on learning how to be a better huntsman and leader (which he would not improve if he was flipping burgers).

* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome:
** While the female members of the team want to utterly spoil Lulu, Izuku has to stand up to them and point out that spoiling her this early and letting her do whatever she wants would be a bad idea - she's not trained and could start teething on things that the team could find precious (such as Izuku's Toshinori sculptures or Nora's wooden hammer). In addition, he points out that they need to teach her to sleep in her own bed, since her breed gets ''big'' when they grow up and would crush whoever she jumped into bed with.
** Lulu is a puppy, and puppies do grow up rather quickly. By the time Weiss and Pyrrha return from Winter Break, she has notably longer legs and a longer snout.

* BadassInCharge: He's the leader of Team MNVW and has possibly the single most powerful Semblance on his team (if not the entire world).

* TheAce: She's drop-dead gorgeous and a skilled warrior with excellent grades on top of being famous all over the world, having pulled herself up from the impoverished lower-class of Mistral on her own merits. But for all her talents, Pyrrha was incredibly lonely prior to coming to Beacon as her celebrity status left her with a packed schedule and little time to socialize with others her own age. In addition, her grades are partially due to her non-stop winning streak, leaving her behind on her studies until Izuku starts tutoring her. She's genuinely surprised when Izuku doesn't recognize her on sight and treats her like a normal person on top of never letting her celebrity status change his perception of her.

** Semblance-wise, Izuku develops [[SuperMode One For All: Full Cowl]], making him strong enough to bat away even Nora's hammer and fast enough to run circles around Yang while minimizing his risk of injury. He ups the ante near the end of his first semester at Beacon by developing "Go Beyond", allowing him to temporarily double his maximum safe limit of One For All at the cost of increased Aura usage to keep his body taped together and intense exhaustion and cramping when the fighting is over. By the start of the Second Semester, he was able to achieve 10% as his base for Full Cowl (which means that he can use "Go Beyond" at 20%)

* PowerIncontinence: Played with. Izuku can turn One For All on and off just fine, but he struggles to control its power output at first, often going to 100% immediately and shattering the bones in whatever limb he used it in. He later learns how to tone it down to 5% to avoid injuring himself and develops One For All: Full Cowl to give him a boost to his overall strength and speed. But he still has to be maintain his concentration at all times lest he fire off 100% again by accident. As of the second week of the second semester, he can ''only'' safely control 10% Full Cowl, as well as 10% versions of his other attacks. Further than that (such as the "Go Beyond" technique, which bumps Full Cowl up to 20%, or the full strength smashes) causes him severe injury and burns Aura like gasoline.

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Pyrrha's name means "Flame-colored victor of the people."

* NiceShoes: Izuku's [[https://78.media.tumblr.com/fe1c099c6c9ff314c84e68809937806f/tumblr_inline_os5iiaiwNg1ua9u11_540.png signature red shoes]] are his IconicOutfit and he's almost never seen without them when he's not equipped with Emerald Gust.
