Mei Hatsume

Mei Hatsume was a student of U.A. High School's Department of Support in Class 1-H. Eight years after the Final War, Mei has graduated from U.A. High School and has become the founder of Lightly Labs, a widely renowned manufacturing company of Hero support items. Mei is a reasonably short girl with quite a mature build. She has salmon pink hair, which is generally shoulder-length, although it does vary, which is styled into thick dreadlocks and side-swept to her right. Her eyes are wide and sloped upwards with some notably long upper eyelashes, their irises green-yellow with a cross in the center, making them look somewhat like scope lenses. In her first appearance, she wears the regular U.A. gym uniform (a dark blue tracksuit decorated with the letters "U" and "A"), but she also adds some of her own gadgets onto it, including red and gold steampunk goggles, a utility belt to hold the various tools she carries around, oversized speed-assisting boots, and what could possibly be a jet pack strung over her shoulders. She's later seen wearing a plain black tank top with workshop coveralls tied casually around her waist, with the same goggles on her head. Following the Paranormal Liberation War, Mei has donned a new set of goggles with longer, scope-like lenses. She also now has her hair tied back into a ponytail. Eight years after the Final War, Mei has grown taller and more mature, with her hair having grown longer at the front, but still tied into a ponytail at the back. She is seen wearing an advanced set of goggles, while adorning her usual designer gloves and a new strapped tank top. Mei is a smart, off-setting, and assertive girl, often making those around her uncomfortable. She loves creating gadgets, which she refers to as her "super cute babies". Mei has a habit of "going straight to the point"[6] and is very shameless and opportunistic when it comes to advertising her inventions. While talking to people, she has a habit of getting awkwardly close to them, which usually causes them to back away from her but she still moves up to them. She can also be manipulative, as she tricked Tenya Ida into using her support equipment to promote her inventions. Mei believes that while inventors like her may not be fighters, they still help the field of heroics through their inventions. Mei shows no fear when it comes to failing, seeing it as an opportunity to learn and do better next time, which is why she does not mind when her inventions fail. Mei can be seen as self-centered due to putting her love of inventions and gadgets above others, but this selfishness is not a negative as it is out of motivation to improve herself. She does seem to be a little bit absent-minded as she is easily distracted and can sometimes be completely unaware of her surroundings, as shown by her inability to sense one of her inventions catch on fire as she was speaking with Izuku Midoriya. Furthermore, she seems inept at reading body language and social cues, apparently being oblivious to Izuku's discomfort with her close proximity to him on several occasions.
