My Hero Academia

Mei is a short, mature girl with salmon pink hair and long upper eyelashes. She wears a U.A. gym uniform with steampunk goggles, a utility belt, speed-assisting boots, and a jet pack. After the Paranormal Liberation War, she wears a new set of goggles with longer lenses and ties her hair back into a ponytail. Her eyes are wide and sloped upwards, resembling scope lenses.

Mei is a smart, assertive girl who enjoys creating gadgets and gadgets, often making others uncomfortable. She is shameless and opportunistic in advertising her inventions, often getting awkwardly close to people, causing them to back away. Mei believes that inventors like her can help the field of heroics through their inventions. She shows no fear of failure, seeing it as an opportunity to learn and improve. Mei may be self-centered due to her love for gadgets, but this selfishness is motivated by motivation to improve herself. She is also absent-minded, easily distracted, and inept at reading body language and social cues. She has been known to trick Tenya Ida into using her support equipment to promote her inventions.

Mei Hatsume competes in the Obstacle Race with her classmates from the Department of Support. She uses her Wire Arrow and Hover Soles to cross tightrope-laced abysses with ease, qualifying her for the Cavalry Battle. Mei confronts Izuku Midoriya, the first place contestant, and they discuss their gadgets. Izuku is won over by Mei's assertive personality and her "babies." Mei and her team face Team Todoroki, who steal Mei's team's points. Mei agrees to try for other points, but Izuku refuses. Team Midoriya advances to the finals, but they run out of time. Mei and Ochaco point out Tenya Ida, who steals a headband worth enough points to advance. Team Midoriya takes fourth place, and Mei qualifies for the finals. After the second round, sixteen qualifying students face off in a one-on-one fighting tournament. Mei tricks Tenya into advertising her support items.
