Shioriya Takami

Shioriya Takami (née Shioriya Tomiko) is a main protagonist in Wings and a side character in Hero Academia. She is the former No. 22 Pro Hero, and current No. 2 Pro Hero. She is also a former sidekick of Hawks and the older sister of Aomine Tomiko.

Appearance
Shioriya is a slim, 5'4" Japanese woman with jet black hair that reaches all the way down to her lower calves and icey blue, doe shaped eyes. She has peachy colored lips and white, glitter-like freckles. On her back is a large pair of white wings, and a heart-shaped birthmark.

In her later years, Shioriya's hair is shown to be over 6 feet long, though it is often pulled back into a bun.

Personality
Shioriya appears to have a very sassy and almost tsundere-like personality when it comes to Hawks but is incredibly sweet concerning those younger than her. She’s displayed with extreme perseverance when she refuses to let Jackal defeat her without giving him a run for his money.

Adding onto her sass, she holds grudges and can hold them for decades at a time as shown against her father, Jissoji, who cheated on her mother and pressured her to become a pro hero. She appears hostile against her father despite his attempts to mend their relationship. She also often slaps Hawks across the face in irritation, though the latter seems to enjoy it.

Despite this, when Shioriya becomes flustered, she turns shy and gets embarrassed easily. She adores her fans and always welcomes them with the most open of arms.

History
Shioriya was born after her parents suffered from a miscarriage, making her a blessing to Miya and Jissoji. When she was 4, her younger sister Aomine was born and she immediately built a strong relationship with her, the two becoming inseparable. During some point in their childhood, Shioriya’s quirk flourished when she saved Aomine after she fell out of a tree, causing friends and family to take interest in her abilities.

When she was 9, her parents divorced after learning her father had been having an affair. Due to this, Shioriya began to grow distrustful of men, even being told by her mother to never give her heart to any man. She grew negative feelings towards her father and became enraged after learning her father married his former mistress, giving her two new step-brothers whom she distanced herself from.

Eventually, making her even angrier, her mother got remarried. She, once again, distanced herself from her step-father, Tsujii. Despite this, however, Tsujii was determined to be a good father figure for Shioriya, understanding her anger and approaching her carefully.

Over time, Shioriya would end up being pressured by her father and step-mother, Uchino, to become a pro hero, putting stress on her at a young age. Tsujii became upset over this and comforted his step-daughter, telling her she needed to only please herself and no one else. This made Shioriya warm up to him, though it did not stop her from caving under the pressure of her father and step-mother.

At the age of 13, Shioriya reached a boiling point and nearly took her own life by overdose. However, before doing so, she saw on the news there was a pro hero who had just debuted with the same quirk as her, and was only 18. She would learn that this hero’s name was Hawks, and she was immediately inspired to be just like him.

After making this decision, she reached out to an old friend of hers named Raihan, another pro hero, asking him to train her due to their similar quirks. He agreed and helped her control her quirk better as well as helping develop endurance and a special move, “Holy Slash.”

A year later, Shioriya applied to go to Jindai Private Hero Academy where she would take the Entrance Exam. During the Entrance Exam, Shioriya destroyed over 38 robots and rescued 12 other competitors, putting her second in the rankings.

After the Entrance Exam, Shioriya would meet Ariyaza Gumako in their class 1-C. The two girls connected right from the start, becoming close friends and speaking through the fitness tests.

During Lunch on their first day, they would meet Masaomi Kumono, who instantly was captivated by Shioriya’s beauty, and ultimately developed the crush on her. Though, he wouldn’t be the only one, as 3 of his other friends would also gain crushes on their classmate, leading to them fighting over her. Shioriya would end up being oblivious to this as she focuses more on becoming a hero.

Despite still trying to become a hero, Shioriya would still stay up some nights working on her original dream, to become a pop star. She would write songs in the morning, in between classes and at night. She loved doing so and it became her favorite pastime.

Eventually, Shioriya met Juki Kagamine of class 1-B, and she ultimately gained a crush on him. Little to her knowledge, Juki had already developed feelings for her which lead to the two dating. They would end up dating through the rest of their first year and all the way up to their second year when they suddenly split up, neither of them ever revealing the reason why, leaving their friends confused.

After their breakup, Shioriya and Juki grew a passionate hate towards one another, resulting in the two of them nearly killing each other during their school’s sports festival. Their fight made their friends and family severely uncomfortable and left Shioriya severely injured and clinging to life.

After recovering from the Sports Festival, Shioriya and her classmates would go on to the Hero Licensing Exam, where Shioriya would get her Provisional Hero License and do a hero work-study with Raihan, realizing she would not be noticed by Hawks due to her school’s low publicity and liking to remain unknown.

During her work-study, she helped Raihan take out many criminal organization groups and rescued several people in need. She also performed small acts like giving food to the homeless and picking up trash around the city.

In her third year, Shioriya developed feelings for Masaomi, the two of them dating and becoming very close. However, after a few months of dating, the two had a mutual separation and remained as best friends, their bond remaining extremely strong.

She would also gain feelings for another 3rd-year student named Aikawa Tochiro and started dating him, though they broke up on mutual terms.

After graduating, Shioriya went on to be an independent hero, through she would stay out of the spotlight until she found the one person she was looking for. This eventually came true after she defeated villains in an alleyway. While walking out the alleyway, she would stumble upon her idol, the No. 3 hero, Hawks.

Losing her mind internally, Shioriya approached him, dawning her confident attitude. The two immediately seemed irritated with each other, Hawks being annoyed by Shioriya and the latter growing impatient of his attitude. Despite this, Hawks agreed to take Shioriya on as a sidekick, also agreeing to train her. He gave her one of his feathers as a snippet of fan service.

Halfway through their conversation, Hawks would catch on to Shioriya’s hidden intentions, pinning her up against a wall and kissing her, despite saying it was originally a joke. Eventually, Hawks would pull Shioriya into another alleyway and perform oral sex on her, though refusing to go all the way and explained he wouldn’t go through with it until he understood how he really felt.

A few days later, Shioriya met up with Hawks at his agency to take him out for his birthday. He would end up giving her an origami crane despite it not being her birthday. As a gift, Shioriya gave him a hand-drawn card, that he surprisingly loved, telling her that she put time into it, however little and that it meant much more to him than money could buy.

As a way to get to know him better, the two start talking and Shioriya asks what his name is, to which he tells her it’s Keigo Takami, much to her surprise. She takes him to a burger joint where she becomes jealous of a timid female waitress, though Keigo tells her not to be because he’s attracted to women with confidence, hence why he’s surrounding himself with her.

Later, Keigo takes Shioriya back to his penthouse where the two have a short conversation where Keigo reveals he possibly has a crush on Shioriya. This leads to Shiroiya giving Keigo oral sex, though he stops her halfway so he can do the same for her at the same time. Afterward, they go all the way for the first time.

Despite this, Keigo suddenly ghosts Shioriya for two weeks, leaving her confused but irritated. She ends up deciding to move on and goes out on a date with another man she meets after saving him from a villain.

Halfway through their date, Keigo suddenly reappears after spotting Shioriya from above. He pulls her away from her date and asks her why she’s out with him. Shioriya ignores his question and tells her date to go on without her, telling him she’ll catch up.

Keigo questions Shioriya, asking her if she genuinely thought his birthday would be the last she ever saw of him, as well as asking whether she was trying to make him jealous.
