Keeping a handly selection of her allies Quirks (Deku's excluded) will allow this vixen to adapt to each situation, without forcing any unnecessary bloodshed to obtain a boost. If used offensively: Fans have already seen how efficient Himiko's Quirk can be in combat, and the same could be said if she was a Hero. If she were to take Hawks' place as an undercover agent, for example, Himiko's skinwalking capabilities would have helped to uncover more imperative information at a faster pace (so long as she obtained the DNA of some vital members of the Paranormal Liberation Front first.) If Himiko were a Hero, she would also probably always have a vial of Recovery Girl's blood on hand, ready to heal any injured parties on the battlefield (which the old lady can obviously no longer navigate through.) If used defensively: having two identical Heroes running around would likely confuse the enemy, especially if they were targeting a specific individual, like in Bakugo's case in the Forest Training Camp Arc. It could be arranged that select Heroes could gift a sample of their ichor to Himiko, giving her a ranged selection of faces and Quirks to choose from (without all the blood-soaked drama!) People don't give Monoma much grief about his copycat Quirk (it's his narcissistically grating characteristics that amass haters.) If Himiko was fortunate enough to also form part of this group, her Quirk could be extremely advantageous to Deku and his friends. Since Himiko's Awakening, her Quirk has essentially become an amped-up version of Neito Monoma's, and although he may not be the most likable character around, he still qualifies as a Hero. Consequently, she too could have her very own feeder familiar who would happily donate to Himiko's cause. Himiko just needs to take a leaf out of Stefan Salvatore's book (or any blood-sucking protagonist of her choice) and learn some self-restraint and more charming (and less creepy) mannerisms. If people have learned anything from the teen fiction vampire-obsessed tropes, it's that one can responsibly consume blood without causing a great deal of damage in the process.

Himiko may not have strayed to the dark side if she felt loved, supported, and accepted by her family. Ostracizing her for the sake of personal comfort was a selfish decision on her guardians' part, but if they all worked together instead, a productive application of her Quirk could have surely been discovered. With an attitude overflowing with intrigue rather than fear and disgust, Himiko's parents could have nurtured her by instilling a deep understanding of morals and ethics in the young girl. Himiko's hemophilia is more than likely a direct side-effect of her Quirk, which craves blood for its activation, and is not necessarily a psychopathic personality defect (even if that ultimately became the end result.) After the initial shock wore off, her caretakers could have made a greater effort to understand their daughter's powers instead of just sweeping them under the rug. While anyone would likely freak out if they found their little girl using a dead bird's corpse as a Capri Sun alternative, there are arguably much better ways that Himiko's parents could have handled the situation. Abandoned and alone, Himiko found solace in the first people to truly accept her for who she is and eagerly became a member of the League of Villains. In an attempt to stifle further humiliation, her guardians openly disowned their daughter, taking no responsibility for their (unsupportive and toxic) role in the matter and summing everything up as a gruesome genetic defect. Publically outed as a ' creepy demon child,' Himiko subsequently went into hiding while her parents were left to deal with the aftermath. Their method, however, did not produce the desired results and essentially acted as a catalyst for her villainous journey.īeing forced to live a lie her whole life, Himiko's hemophilia accumulated to exploding point, and one of her classmates became the girl's first human victim, with little discretion applied to the attack. Her horrified parents could only see evil intentions in their (arguably) innocent daughter, so they demanded that she reject and suppress her Quirk at all costs and ensure to always behave as a respectable lady. While young Himiko was often described as a sweet-natured girl, once her Quirk was discovered, opinions, unfortunately, changed drastically. Episode 109 of My Hero Academia (aka Season 5, episode 21) delves into this blonde bombshell's backstory, where once again the audience is granted the opportunity to sympathize with a vicious villain.
