I know all about fear, cuz I'm weak! That weakness makes me wanna form packs and get close with people. That goes for our side, and your side too... that's what... defines us, right?
Mina Ashido in "Meek Spirits"

Mina Ashido ( (あし) () () () Ashido Mina?), also known as Pinky (ピンキー Pinkī?), is a student in Class 1-A at U.A. High School, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance[]

Mina is a girl of medium height, possibly set a little more broadly than some of her other female classmates, with, according to her profile, "healthy thighs". Due to her Quirk, her skin is a light shade of pink, and she has somewhat square-shaped eyes with black sclerae and yellow irises and notably long eyelashes below and around the sides of her eyes. Minoru Mineta once commented that "she's got a super athletic body."

Her face is framed by short fluffy, unruly pink hair slightly darker than her skin. She also has two thin pale yellow horns protruding from her head, hooked squarely and leaning diagonally to opposite sides, which seem to be slightly flexible, able to bend a bit to each side. During school hours, she wears the normal female U.A. uniform.

During the Final War, Mina pushed her acid viscosity to the max, which resulted in her horns growing in length and straightening out, while the skin on the left side of her body became lighter due to overuse upon using Acidman: Alma.

Her hero costume consists of a plain white mask over her eyes, with a purple and turquoise skin-tight bodysuit with a camouflage pattern, ending just above her breasts. Over this, she wears a cropped, sleeveless, tan-colored waistcoat with white fur along its collar, which she leaves unbuttoned. She wears custom made plum violet and beige acid-proof boots with holes in the soles, allowing her to secrete acid from her feet to slide around.

The winter version of her costume is very similar, the only difference being that she replaces her usual waistcoat with another, which is slightly longer and has sleeves down to her elbows. A large hexagonal patch with a purple letter 'P' (meaning "Pinky", Mina's hero name) stitched onto the shoulder of each sleeve. The fur lining her collar is also thicker and wider, reaching her chin, and is joined in the center by two clasps instead of being undone like the rest of her jacket.

Personality[]

Mina encouraging Eijiro

Mina's cheerful personality.

Mina is a cheerful and easygoing girl who usually displays a smile. Highly social and excitable, she loves to hang out with her friends and is shown to become very upset when denied an opportunity to be at a gathering. She possesses a strong fashion sense and likes to go shopping.

Due to her athleticism and energy, Mina enjoys and is very skilled at dancing. Her demeanor becomes more strict and perfectionist when teaching others how to dance, in direct contrast to her usual happy-go-lucky nature. She is known to use her dancing to somehow pacify even those who have bad relationships with others.

Mina and Ojiro study

Mina struggling with studies.

Mina's academic performance is quite poor, with Mina goofily laughing about it despite showing clear anxiety and frustration. Because of that, she is often viewed as an airhead by her classmates (second only to Denki Kaminari). However, Mina can show dedication to her studies if she gets proper tutoring.

Mina is extremely courageous and is viewed as an ideal personality for hero work. Before entering U.A., Mina would condemn bullying in middle school and even convinced some bullies to come around with her upbeat and friendly attitude. She can also put her life on the line to save others, even if she can't deal with the fear afterwards. This stalwart attitude was seen when she lied to Gigantomachia to protect her friends from the behemoth’s anger and successfully got the giant to leave, just before collapsing into tears of fear and relief, showing that the ordeal had terrified her as well.

Mina is somewhat of a romantic and holds a lot of interest over other people's love lives, to the point of being obnoxiously curious and intrusive about them. Her suspicions, however, tend to be rather baseless most of the time, as she seems to view any instance of a pairing as possible proof of a relationship regardless of compatibility.

Abilities[]

Round 5 All-Out-Melee

Mina's camaraderie with her teammates overpowers the students of Class 1-B.

Overall Abilities: Despite having minimal combat abilities, Mina makes up for it with her Quirk proficiency and incredible reaction time. Her abilities allowed her to earn 9th place in the Quirk Apprehension Test. Mina has demonstrated a good handle on the applications of her Acid Quirk, using the acid she creates as cover fire for her allies and employing it in various ways. Mina can also control the levels of solubility and viscosity of her acid. She lowers solubility and ensures that her Quirk doesn't become lethal against most living beings. And by raising viscosity, Mina can generate extremely slimy acid that acts as a protective barrier by gluing it to surfaces. Mina is said to have difficulties facing human adversaries due to not fully mastering her Quirk's corrosive properties, so she's more comfortable battling inorganic foes.[3] Besides her Quirk handling, Mina reflexes surpass most of Class 1-A's students while being the best out of the female members of the said class.[1] Examples include Mina easily dodging Yuga Aoyama's laser attacks, and later on at the Provisional Hero License Exam, with precise flicks, melt several high-speed target balls launched toward her.

Acidman

Mina showcases her improvement by using her Acid Quirk as armor for melee combat.

During the Joint Training Battle, Mina showcased her improvement, effectively switching between different acid-based techniques, while executing unorthodox, yet impeccable teamwork with Minoru. On Nabu Island, Mina and Fumikage Tokoyami tag-teamed against Slice, wherein Mina successfully weakened the red-haired villainess, and used her agility to evade the majority of the latter’s hair assault. Her abilities eventually garnered the attention of the Equipped Hero: Yoroi Musha, allowing Mina to intern under the now former No. 9 Pro Hero and improve her offensive and defensive abilities. In the Final War, Mina successfully melted through Gigantomachia's armored skin, which is an impressive feat given that Gigantomachia's exterior is nearly indestructible.

Mina shows her dancing skills

Mina shows her dancing skills.

  • Dancing Talent: Mina is extremely skilled at dancing, capable of pulling break-dance moves with little effort. She can also teach an amateur to become a decent dancer quickly. Izuku Midoriya has noted that her dancing expertise means she possesses excellent body control: thus, her quick reflexes and skill in close quarters combat.[4]

Quirk[]

Mina uses Acid Veil

Mina's Quirk proficiency.

Acid ( (さん) San?): Mina's Quirk allows her to produce a corrosive liquid from her body. She can control the solubility and viscosity of this corrosive liquid. There is a limit to how long she can produce the corrosive liquid until her skin gradually loses its natural resistance to it. Overusing her Quirk or pushing it too far can also be fatal, as it dehydrates her body very fast.

Mina can use her acid offensively, but has shown utility with it as well, such as melting handholds for herself to climb with. She is also known to secrete a non-corrosive version of the acid from her feet in order to slide around.

As part of her training, Mina constantly produced acid in order to increase her skin's durability, namely towards the corrosive properties of her Quirk.

Ultimate Moves[]

Acid Veil

Acid Veil.

  • Acid Veil (アシッドベール Ashiddobēru?): Mina's special move. By maximizing her acid's solubility and viscosity, Mina creates a gelatinous acid wall that blocks incoming projectiles. Mina's Acid Veil was strong enough to block hardened balls (which were stronger than concrete) with ease.
  • Acid Shot (アシッドショット Ashiddo Shotto?): Mina fires a hail of acidic bullets over a widespread area from above to shower down on to her opponents.[5]
  • Acid Layback (アシッドレイバック Ashiddo Reibakku?): Mina projects acid from her shoes to dissolve the surface of the ground beneath her and make it easier to spin on the spot. With the enhanced momentum of her super-fast spin, she can throw projectiles with massively increased force.[5]
    • Grape-Pinky Combo Mineta Bounce (グレープピンキーコンボ (はね) (みね) () Gurēpu Pinkī Konbo - Hane Mineta?): After Mina uses Acid Lay-back to spin on the spot and Minoru lays down multiple Pop Off Spheres on the ground and walls, Mina throws Minoru with great force so that he bounces from sphere to sphere. As he is flying through the air and bouncing off of each sphere, he can throw more Pop Off Spheres from his head onto his opponents while making it difficult to be hit back.[5]
  • Acidman (アシッドマン Ashiddoman?): After increasing the viscosity of her Quirk, Mina generates a large amount of acid that takes a vaguely anthropomorphic form that covers her entire body. This technique has defensive properties since every attack against Mina will be dissolved by the powerful acid that protects her.
    • Alma (ALMA (アルマ) Aruma?): After increasing the acidity of her Quirk to the maximum, Mina flings her Acidman at an opponent.[6]

Equipment[]

Acid-proof Shoes: Mina wears special shoes that have holes in their soles, that let Mina secrete acid from her feet. The shoes are not damaged by the corrosive liquid, so Mina can easily use them to slide across the ground on her acid.

Acid-proof Outfit: Mina's costume is also acid-proof, so she can completely cover herself in Acid without damaging it.

Trivia[]

Prototype Mina

Mina's preliminary design.

  • Mina's design during the preliminary stages of the series was relatively similar to her final design, albeit with a lankier physique. This design also possessed longer, more elaborate horns, prominently straight teeth like Hanta Sero's, rounder eyes, visible blushes on her cheeks similar to the ones Ochaco Uraraka has, and slightly longer hair.
    • Because the twisted horns were considered difficult to draw, this design was eventually dropped, with Mina's current design having smaller, simpler horns.
  • Mina ranking in the Popularity Polls are the following:
    • Ranked 24th in the 1st Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 21st in the 2nd Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 36th in the 3rd Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 39th in the 4th Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 29th in the 5th Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 28th in the 6th Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 41st in the 7th Popularity Poll.
    • Ranked 9th in the 1st English Popularity Poll.
  • According to Mina's Volume 4 profile:
    • Her favorite thing is dancing, a trait that's shown more in later chapters.
    • Her favorite foods are Okra and Natto.
    • Mina is considered one of the stronger students in Class 1-A, having the best reflexes among the girls.
    • Kohei Horikoshi regrets not giving Mina more screen time, at least by that point.
    • Incidentally, Mina is the only Class 1-A student featured in the extras section of Volume 4.
  • Mina's known U.A. data is as follows:
    • Mina is student No. 2 in Class 1-A.
    • Ranked ninth during Shota Aizawa's Quirk Apprehension Test.
    • Ranked in the Top 8 of the U.A. Sports Festival First-Year Stage.
    • Ranked nineteenth in Class 1-A's mid-term grades.
  • Mina has "never liked anyone, but wishes she can be in love".[7]
  • Mina and Yuga are the only Class 1-A participants of the U.A. Sports Festival Fighting Tournament who didn't receive a nomination from a Pro Hero.
  • Mina's surname contains the kanji for "reed" ( ashi?) and "door" ( do?), and her first name contains "three" ( mi?) and "apple tree" ( na?).
    • Mina's surname is almost homophones to the Japanese pronunciation of "acid" (アシッド ashiddo?).
    • The first kanji in her given name, "three" ( mi?), can be read as "san", which is also the pronunciation of the Japanese word for "acid" ( san?).
  • Mina's initial choice of her hero name, Ridley Hero: Alien Queen (リドリーヒーロー エイリアンクイーン Ridorī Hīrō Eirian Kuīn?), is a direct reference to the Xenomorph from Alien, where the titular creature is an extraterrestrial being that possesses acidic blood. "Ridley Hero" referencing the film's director, Ridley Scott.
  • In My Hero Academia: Ultra Archive: The Official Character Guide, Mina's profile mistakenly lists her birthday as July 15th.
  • Mina, Momo Yaoyorozu, Minoru, and Tsuyu Asui all share the same costume designer.[8]
  • Mina is the only girl in her class to wear shorts under her skirt, which is implied to be so that she can breakdance while in her school uniform.
  • Mina shares her Japanese and English voice actresses with other characters.
    • Her Japanese voice actress, Eri Kitamura, also voices Tenya Ida's mother.
    • Her English voice actress, Caitlin Glass, also voices Kai Chisaki as a child.

Quotes[]

  • (To Eijiro Kirishima) "The old you's not going anywhere with that emo look on your face! If you overcome that gloomy self of yours... let me know. Or else I'll start spreading rumors about high school debut man."[9]
