Ochaco Uraraka (麗 (うらら) 日 (か) お茶 (ちゃ) 子 (こ) Uraraka Ochako), also known as Uravity (ウラビティ Urabiti), is a student in Class 1-a at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero. She is one of the main protagonists of My Hero Academia.
Other
students have described Ochaco as "the most laid back girl" among her
class, being very bubbly and kind of an airhead at times. She is often
incredibly blunt without being aware of it. Similar to Izuku Midoriya,
Ochaco's reactions tend to be exaggerated and humorous: She often
becomes amused at certain personality traits and quirks others exhibit,
bursting into laughter at times, which she tries to suppress.
Ochaco
is a very warm, lively individual who thinks about everything
positively, though she is objective enough to see flaws and virtues. She
is empathetic in general, friendly to those she meets, and will try to
help or defend anyone who is kind to her or who needs assistance. Ochaco
seems to be very good at reading people, understanding the reasons for
Izuku Midoriva and Katsuki Bakugo’s rivalry, and being the first to
notice when the usually collected Tsuyu Asui was upset. Her empathy and
kindness are also seen in how well she gets along with her classmates.
She is on good terms with everyone and is particularly close friends
with several members of the class, including Izuku, Tenya, Tsuyu, and so
on.
Despite her usually cheery and sometimes ditzy demeanor,
Ochaco can take on an extremely determined, focused, and somewhat
intimidating attitude when the situation calls for it. This side of her
personality can come as a surprise to those who are used to her
generally bubbly nature, and it tends to appear during competitive
situations like the U.A. Sports Festival. While she is shown to be
surprisingly strategic, she isn't above making some impulsive or
reckless decisions. When it comes to her chosen path as a Hero, Ochaco
is unwavering and dislikes being underestimated, even in the face of an
overwhelming force.
Coming from a poor household, Ochaco tends
to become easily excited or surprised over little things, even losing
her composure when faced with actual luxury, to the point of nearly
fainting. Bonus materials have depicted her as frugal and occasionally
stingy, since she goes to extreme lengths to save money, including
sleeping so she doesn't waste oxygen or skipping meals in order to save
food. Ochaco's parents are her main drive to becoming a hero, and she
desires above all else to earn money in order to give them a comfortable
life. She is brazenly honest about her priorities and doesn't hide her
pursuit of heroism being in large part due to money, despite her
embarrassment over admitting so. While money was a deciding factor in
her decision to become a hero, Ochaco dreamed of becoming one prior to
realizing the extent of her parent's monetary struggles, as she admired
their capacity to bring smiles to people's faces.
In terms of
heroism, Ochaco has shown more preference towards rescue, being a fan of
Thirteen for her expertise in the area. She is aware of her physical
limitations, deciding to choose the combat-oriented hero Gunhead for her
internship in order to increase her fighting repertoire. Consequently,
Ochaco developed a new sense of battle awareness and has become a more
instinctive fighter.
Ochaco is also greatly inspired by her
classmates, especially Izuku, whom she finds to be greatly admirable for
both his strength and compassion. Ochaco has developed a crush on him
due to this and their close friendship, resulting in her attempts to
follow his example, for better or for worse. While he inspires her,
Ochaco also acknowledges that heroism takes priority over her romantic
feelings, and does her best to continue to grow while keeping them in
check. Izuku has also caused her to consider the question of who
protects heroes when they are in need since he continually throws
himself into dangerous situations; this prominently shows how deeply
Ochaco cares about him and others.
Additionally, Ochaco's feelings for Izuku also result in her having an occasional and subtle jealous side, which tends to be present when girls get close to Izuku or converse highly with him. This is best displayed during his meetings and interactions with Mei Hatsume and Melissa Shield. Despite this, Ochaco is not at all spiteful and often tries to hide or dismiss this feeling whenever it appears.
