A togachako sketch that was loosely inspired by the hyuluka modern au in weige

Mina Ashido is probably one of the most interesting in 1-A (aside from the mc’s and ochako) and she’s often glossed over for it. Like I don’t mean her as a person is glossed over, definitely not, this fandom fucking LOVES her but not for the reasons I’m thinking of.

So let’s talk Mina Ashido

From the start we’re repeatedly shown that Mina is an outgoing, bubbly person that helps drive the pot along (horikoshi’s words, not mine) as he likes using her to get the class to actually do things. Deku is a bit timid to actually drive the plot sometimes which is why ochako and Mina are often there.

Now, Mina is a beacon for general character growth. She’s used in kirishimas story as someone he looked up to and thought he could never pass. Repeatedly showing her popularity and likeness to other people, which he never had. He saw how brave she was and was mad at himself for never being able to be in the same situations she was. And when he got to UA her and him have kinda kept their distance mostly. Probably because Mina wants to keep kirishimas hair secret lol. She is generally a very positive person in a lot of peoples lives.

Now here comes in the elephant in the room: izuocha. I almost feel like her being so obsessed with them is born out of jealousy. She wishes she could be in the same spot as ochako, but ochako isn’t even IN THAT SPOT! Or rather she wasn’t until Mina pushed that! And notice Mina asking “who is it??? Iida or midoriya??” And Ochakos thoughts go to deku. But this isn’t love. It never was, from day one it was pure admiration. And she only really had these “feelings” when deku ended up acting very heroic and cool. So, when she’s handed a label by someone who’s her friend, she puts two and two together.

But Mina is projecting her fantasies of a high school crush onto her. Ochako doesn’t have a crush for anyone just as much as Mina doesn’t. They are parallels, that’s why both of their “themes” are pink. A lot of people think Mina is on the aroace spectrum, and while I love that hc I don’t know. Maybe she is, Cupioromantic people (like myself) can definitely be that way. But I feel like narratively, she isn’t. I think she just simply doesn’t have anyone in her class to feel that way about. She has a career and a war to fight. She doesn’t have time

She is the perfect side character. That’s it. She’s awesome. I love her so so so much and space girls as a ship is one of my favorite urakaka ships (aside from togachako lol)
