Hatsume Renzu - Blog Posts

I got sucked back into bnha recently and I couldn’t get the idea for a new oc out of my head!

This is Hatsume Renzu, aka The Spy Hero “Viewfinder”! She’s an underground hero less by choice and more by trade—that is to say, while she wouldn’t have any problem with the spotlight, it just doesn’t come with her kind of work. She doesn’t mind though—she’s always been the sort who prefers to observe from a distance. People are always more honest when they think they’re alone, but if she has to engage she’s always sure to maintain an easygoing, air-headed facade.

In truth, she’s very attentive to detail and has a great ability to understand people, if not necessarily connect with them. Her ability allows her to playback her memories with perfect clarity, and she spends much of her free time dissecting people’s actions to understand them better. In school, memorization tests were always the easiest, but application was where she had to improve.

When I was designing her in my head, I couldn’t help but realize she was ending up looking a lot like Hatsume Mei, so I decided to make Renzu her aunt. Just some fun canon interaction, y’all know the drill by now.
