  • Ability Mixing: Luz how to do this form Shigaraki's advice
    • Her first try was using "Flame" and "Vines" to create flaming whips.
    • Whenever Luz gets severely injured a fight and activates her "Super Regeneration" Quirk, she also activates her "Pain Nullification" Quirk, as well. This is so that she doesn't succumb to the crippling pain as her body heals and she can keep on fighting.
    • She often uses Super-Strength to enhance the power of her attacks, like her Absurdly Sharp Claws, Multi-Armed and Dangerous, Gravity Master and Spring Coil Quirks.
    • At Shigaraki's suggestion, she combines Multiplier with Forcefield Projection to make a barrier on each hand to create "Forcefield Cannon". Unlike when she would create multiple shields on one hand, these shields all retained the base strength and defense capabilities of a singular shield, instead of having its power divided. She can also use the Giant Hands of Doom to create one massive barrier the size of a whole building.
    • In the same fight, she combines "Multiplier" and "Spear Fingers" for an omni-directional attack.
    • Later, she uses "Airwalk" and "Zero Gravity" to increase her flight capabilities.
    • Luz can use "Multiplier" and "Zero Gravity" to levitate many objects and people at once, as well as "Limitless" to fire off multiple balls of destruction at once.
  • Absurdly Sharp Claws: The "Spear Fingers" Quirk, originally belonging to Darlene, allows Luz to turn her fingers sharp and pointed like spears, and fire them toward people like extendable pole-arms from a distance of 25 meters.
  • Accidental Murder: Luz's first kill is Cody, which was unintentional, who died from brain damage after Luz took his Quirk.
    • In chapter 22, She also accidently kills a teenaged boy while stealing his Quirk.
  • Adaptational Badass: Luz is the new bearer of All For One in this universe, giving her a level of inherent power that she never had canonically being a more direct threat in combat.
  • Adaptational Jerkass: After her experience at the Death Camp, she's a lot more open to using lethal force on her enemies and less tolerant of people who bully her, being more than happy to shut them up with either her fists or threats.
  • Addictive Magic: All For One claims that Luz's Quirk gives her an inherent addiction to stealing Quirks, so far it doesn't seem to be a very strong urge.
  • All of the Other Reindeer: Luz was this before the events of the story but even more so after her role in the Death Camp thanks to Fantastic Racism and the manipulations of a Dirty Cop Sheriff.
  • All Your Powers Combined: Luz's Quirk combines this with Power Parasite and Super-Empowering. She's able to steal others' Quirks for herself, allowing her to combine several Quirks together.
  • And That's Terrible: Luz mentally notes anybody who lets anyone sleep with shoes on after kidnapping them is a sick freak.
  • Anti-Hero: Luz develops a more ruthless personality after her experience at the Death Camp, becoming willing to do whatever is necessary to protect the ones she cares about, even lethal force, and avenge them.
  • Arbitrary Skepticism: Luz is willing to accept The Multiverse as a real thing but initially doesn't believe in parallel worlds in her own dimension until Shigaraki dryly points out this flawed logic.
  • An Arm and a Leg: Luz occasionally loses limbs in her fights. Nothing her Healing Factor can't fix.
  • Aura Vision: Luz's power includes the ability to see black strings above the heads of other superhumans that are invisible to others. Touching them causes black and red sparks.
  • Ax-Crazy: Can very much get like this when in her Roaring Rampage of Revenge mode.
  • Bad Powers, Good People: Being a Power Parasite isn't usually a power that you would associate with a Nice Girl like Luz, is it? Luz especially hates the idea of having such a power, partly because she's always wanted to be special, and All for One revolves taking what makes other people special.
  • Badass Fingersnap: Learning from Sophia, she does this to change her red orbs to blue or vice versa to surprise her foes with her Limitless Quirk.
  • Badass in a Nice Suit: Luz wears one as part of her Vigilante Costume.
  • Barrier Warrior: "Forcefield Projection" allows Luz to create a golden, circular, near-invincible forcefield in front and/or back of her from her hand that can withstand almost any kind of attack. However, it can only protect the user in one direction. Multiple powerful blows will slowly chip away at its absorption, like most absorbing Quirks. Alternatively, Luz can shoot it as a Deadly Force Field at a target, and the more power they have absorbed, the more devastating the blows from the forcefields become in the form of explosions that can level a building.
  • Berserker Tears: After discovering bodies of her summer camp friends, Luz's tears of sorrow soon turns to tears of rage under All For One's sway.
  • Big Damn Heroes: Luz recuses a girl after being kidnapped by 2 armed robbers in chapter 14.
  • Blank White Void: Luz's dreamscape is this, except its black in color.
  • Blinded by Rage: This happens to Luz after Riley's betrayal.
  • Blown Across the Room: This happens to Luz a couple of times fighting the Wittebane's assassins. One time she was Punched Across the Room, too.
  • Body Horror It can get pretty graphic describing the injuries Luz survives.
  • Break the Cutie: Let's see... Luz is made to go through with Reality Check Camp. Only instead of that, she's forced into a war game by a xenophobic governor. Begged to hurt her new friend who wants her power taken away. Sees said new friends killed before her very eyes. She has the voice of a complete psychopath in her mind wanting her to let loose. Becomes a killer herself. And gains a Hero with Bad Publicity status back home with assassins out to get her, including her cousin. To say Luz gets put through the wringer here is the understatement of the decade and it doesn't get any better for her.
  • Broken Bird: Having suffered a lot as at the Death Camp and going through even more suffering when she came back home from her community has made her a very cynical and violent badass.
  • Brought Down to Badass: After her Heroic RRoD, Luz had to give away 18 of the 28 Quirks she gathered at the Death Camp for the sake of her health. This doesn't prevent her kicking any less ass.
  • Calling Your Attacks: In later chapters, Luz sometimes does this like "Forcefield Cannon" and "Limitless Gravity Volley". This makes All For One nostalgic.
    Shigaraki: Named attacks? I heard that kind of thing in my world. I even had a few. You’re quite the natural.
  • Cassandra Truth:
    • When Luz tries to tell her mother she's got holes in her hands, Camila initially believes she just drew them on and tells her to clean them off. Its only after being clean with a cloth and could feel the holes does she realise her daughter is telling the truth.
    • Luz fears her teammates won't believe her if she tells them she took Julia's Quirk away from her with her permission. Luckily for her they believe she's being honest.
  • Child Prodigy: Shigaraki sincerely considers Luz to be this with her Quirk as the vestiges could not degrade her mind as tried to do with him, due to not seeing them as human.
  • The Chosen One:
    • In chapter 5, Shigaraki calls Luz this for being his Quirk's successor. This excites Luz until he explains what her power is.
    Luz: A power of The Chosen One… yeah, if they’re a villain….
  • Clothing Damage: Recently, this has been happening a lot to her in her more destructive fights.
  • Combat Pragmatist: Luz takes this further than canon by being willing to use her foes as a Human Shield, use lethal force on them, or if they have a Quirk just use her Power Parasite ability to De-power them.
  • Cop Killer: Luz becomes this in chapter 18, wiping out an entire squad of them, along with the sheriff, with her Deadly Force Field when Blinded by Rage.
  • Curb-Stomp Battle: Anyone who faces her in a battle always loses when Luz stops holding back, even when they initially have the upper hand with superior numbers.
  • Cynicism Catalyst: Discovering the mangled corpses of half her team is this for Luz, causing her a complete Innocence Lost for the poor girl.
  • Dark Action Girl: Luz has become an Anti-Hero version of this during the Deadly Game at summer camp.
  • Deal with the Devil: She has sort of made this with Shigaraki to be her Evil Mentor in regards to her powers.
  • Death Glare:
    • Luz gives one to Shigaraki, making it clear she's not happy that he can drag her into the Mental World whenever she closes my eyes and can't sleep properly.
    • Luz gives one to Judy as she's about to interrupt her while interrogating Stanley, shutting her up.
    • Post-Death Camp, she'll often shoot one at anyone idiotic enough to mess with her, sometimes ending a fight before one starts.
  • Didn't Think This Through: Luz at one point shot her "Vines" Quirk at Cody, aiming to subdue him. However, Cody lashes back with his flame arm, making them catch on fire as they rapidly devoured them. Luz, panicking, quickly retracted the Vines, however, that had been a mistake as the fire travelled with them towards her. Fortunately, Judy cuts off the burning vines before they burn her.
  • Disappointed by the Motive. Though more angry than disappointed, Luz doesn't take it well when she hears Kennedy say he and his team killed off her new friends for money.
    Anger flashed on her face. Money…? This was all for money…? Her friend… allies… dead for extra cash…?
  • Ditzy Genius: Most people she knew didn’t want to acknowledge the fact that Luz was smart. Sure, she's aware she's had her dumb moments, but most of the time, she's wicked sharp when it came to problem solving. She just happened to focus too much of it on her creativity. But with no creative outlet in the Death Camp to hone that one, all she had to focus that intellect on was the situation at hand.
  • The Dog Bites Back: Luz admits to All For One that deep down she likes the idea of taking power away from those she believes that don’t deserve it, especially those that discredited her creativity and wrote her off as just a weirdo.
  • Don't You Dare Pity Me!: Downplayed. Luz notes there was a part of her that hated seeing someone was worried about her. Though she's more polite than most examples, instead just telling them she's fine.
  • The Dreaded: Luz is seen as this to her hometown for what she did in "The Massacre Of Fools" and the lucky few that survive fighting her.
  • Drunk on the Dark Side: Luz does when she steals more Quirks and goes on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge of the 2 teams that killed her new friends, constantly giving a Psychotic Smirk.
  • Empty Shell: Camila described Luz as this compared to her Genki Girl pre-summer camp self.
    When she looked at Luz, Camila didn’t see her daughter. She saw someone who looked like her daughter, sounded like her, and had the same likes and dislikes, but she wasn’t her daughter.
  • Enhanced Punch: Similar to what Shigaraki tried on All Might, Luz created an attack by mashing 7 physical Quirks together to kill the team leader who led the massacre of her new friends.
  • Eyes Always Averted: Luz notes that making eye contact with anyone was hard enough for herself as it was when she's in a good mood, let alone when she's upset.
  • Fascinating Eyebrow: Luz raises an eyebrow when Julia giggles at her antics instead of being mad at her.
  • Feel No Pain: "Pain Nullification" is a Quirk that allows Luz to completely nullify any and all pain of any kind. It's used as a Required Secondary Power alongside her Healing Factor and Super-Toughness. So far only Riley, Sophia and Jonah's Quirks have been able to bypass this.
  • Finishing Move: She tries one against Kennedy, combining Springlike Limbs, Kinetic Force, Super-Strength, Force Multiplier, Shock Absorption, Sword and Vines into her right arm for a devastating blow to crush Kennedy. Unlike Shigraki, this proves successful in killing her target.
  • Fireballs: The "Flamethrower" Quirk originally belonged to a male student that went to Luz's old school. The Quirk allows Luz to conjure red fireballs from her hands and fire them, which explode on contact.
  • Genre Savvy:
    • Luz claims that she's seen enough death-game anime to know where being kidnapped by some guy in a military uniform is going. She makes a conscious effort to keep a rational head, and to not do or say anything reckless in her situation.
    • The moment Luz laid eyes on Shigaraki, she could tell he was evil in all CAPS and would try to manipulate her for his own purposes.
    • She also figures that Governor Maxwell doesn’t plan to give any money to the victor. The moment they finish this Deadly Game, he’s either going to forcibly recruit them into the military as Super Soldiers or pull a Leave No Survivors on them.
  • The Glomp: Luz does this to Julia when thanking her for offering to be her Number Two. Julia returns the hug.
  • Godzilla Threshold: Luz takes a sixteenth Quirk, one more beyond her current limit, in order to find one that can counter Hunter's Quirk. It already puts a strain on her body.
  • Good Thing You Can Heal: Luz mentally notes that if it wasn't for her Super Regeneration, she would have died a long time ago and has become more and more reliant on that Quirk.
  • Gratuitous Spanish: Luz sometimes slip into this from time-to-time, particularly in moments of intense emotion. Most notably when Luz gives her mother a Quirk and didn't want the doctors to know.
  • Gravity Master: This Quirk "Zero Gravity" originally belonged to a girl by the name of Juniper, someone who was caught in the crossfire during the battle between Luz and a Wittebane assassin. This Quirk allows Luz the ability to remove the gravity of anything that Luz comes into physical contact with using the pads on her fingertips. This Quirk is an exact replica of Ochako Uraraka's Zero Gravity from My Hero Academia.
  • Grew a Spine: Before gaining her powers, Luz admits she never stood up to her bullies at school. After the Death Camp Incident, she now has no quarrels about threatening them or getting physically violent with them if they start shit with her.
  • Growling Gut: Luz gets this at the end of the chapter 6 and decides to have some hotdogs at the campfire before going back to bed.
  • Half the Man He Used to Be: Luz narrowly becomes after nearly imploding with the blowback of having too many Quirks, thanks to her Healing Factor, only held together by a few strings of flesh.
  • Having a Blast: The "Bomb Touch" Quirk originally belonged to Riley Stewardson, Luz's cousin and an assassin for The Wittebane Mega Church. The Quirk allows Luz to blow up anyone from the inside out, so long as she feels a deep hatred for them, and so long as she comes into physical contact with them. Otherwise, it is completely useless.
  • Healing Factor: The "Super Regeneration" Quirk that allows Luz to recover from life-threatening wounds, up to and including missing limbs, organs, bones, muscles, and skin. The process is quite painful though, and often leaves scars, but nothing too damaging. It's only because of this power that allows Luz to survive normally fatal injuries, such as the blow back from too many Quirks. Shigaraki implores her to keep it no matter what.
  • Head Crushing: Luz's main method of killing with her Super-Strength, especially during her Roaring Rampage of Revenge. It's quick but brutal.
  • Hearing Voices: She often hears Shigaraki talking to her when not in the Mental World.
  • Heroes Love Dogs: Luz tells Julia puppy dogs are her favourite pet animals.
  • Heroic Self-Deprecation: The beginning of the chapter 7 reveals Luz having doubts on her ability to be The Leader of her team due to her having No Social Skills and a Friendless Background.
  • Hidden Eyes: Luz has these when she's about to take the Quirks from her recently murdered friends with her Power Parasite ability.
  • The Hunter Becomes the Hunted: The 2 teams at the Death Camp target Luz after being promises billions to kill her... she quickly turns the tables on them. In fact, most people that start a fight with her end up dead.
    • This also happens with the assassins hired by Tyler Wittebane to kill Luz at the supermarket.
  • The Insomniac:
    • Downplayed. She notes it usually took her an hour at best to go to sleep after going to bed, mostly due to the fact that she never seemed to run out of energy.
    • Late on Luz is becoming more of this. Its not like she can't sleep but more like she doesn't want to sleep, due to the fact that if she falls asleep again she’d risk having to talk to All For One again in her dreams.
  • Instant-Win Condition: When Luz reveals her Power Parasite ability to her entire team, instead of being afraid of her like she thought they'd be, Johnny points out how incredibly useful that's going to be in this Deadly Game and consider her The Ace in the hole for the Alpha Squadron to De-power the other teams if they try to kill them. She often does this when fighting other superhumans.
  • Irony:
    Luz: Suck it, crappy teachers! 1 point for Luz, 0 points for restrictive school!
    • When she is kidnapped and put in a Deadly Game with other superhuman teenagers, Luz is especially alarmed for, as far as she could tell, everyone else in the room had stronger, better powers than her holed hands. Turns out she has the infamous All For One Quirk, making her the most dangerous and lethal combatant of all.
  • In the End, You Are on Your Own: Before Luz plans to wait for the 2 enemy teams to fight them, she orders the remainder of her team to flee for their lives and not come back. What's left of new friends are hesitant to leave her to fight alone but comply.
  • Innocence Lost: Luz Noceda's innocence died along with her new friends at summer camp.
  • It Gets Easier: Ever since the Death Camp, Luz is little unsettled that becomes progressively easier for her to a human life, even if the person in question tried to kill her first.
  • It's All My Fault: As Luz breaks down in tears, she believes she has failed her fallen comrades after discovering their corpses in chapter 12.
  • It's Personal: Jonah and Charlie tricking her into believing she killed her mother, is this Luz. She wastes little time killing them both for that act.
  • Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Despite having a colder attitude, she cares about keeping her friends, town and mother safe.
  • Jerkass Has a Point: While she was a bit rude, Julia concedes Luz is right that the governor that kidnapped them wants them all dead so why would he provide them a doctor if they got sick?
  • The Juggernaut: She is described as this by Sophia and she ain't wrong.
    Sophia: Even after hitting her point blank with Red, she’s recovered almost completely. It was just as Bombardier warned. No matter how much punishment you dish out, she’ll just come back from it.
  • Kick the Dog: Luz, we understand you needed a new shirt and pants due to the Clothing Damage you suffered from, but did you really have to knock out a random bystander and steal it from her, leaving the poor girl in her underwear?
  • The Leader: She is made leader of The Alpha Squadron at summer camp.
  • Leader Wannabe: Inverted for Luz. She really doesn't want to lead but reassures her team she'll do her best.
  • Life Isn't Fair: Luz realized this pretty quickly at school, especially with people making fun of her for being "weird" or "crazy", or stole her lunch money.
  • Long-Lived: The "Longevity" Quirk triples the user's lifespan. For example, if Luz’s lifespan is 89 years, then with this Quirk, her lifespan jumps to 267 years. Shigaraki tells Luz this is a must-have power.
  • Lovecraftian Superpower: When killing Kennedy to avenge Julia's murder, Luz uses a mass combination of Quirks to transform her entire right arm into an elephant-sized grotesque sight of hypertrophied flesh, wrapped with thorny vines with blades sticking out, almost similar to what All For One uses to fight All Might in their Final Battle.
  • Ludicrous Gibs: Luz is reduced to bloody chunks by her cousin Riley's Quirk in chapter 17 when she betrays her... luckily she uses her Quirks in a Pulling Themselves Together move and becomes more angry than hurt.
  • Luminescent Blush:
    • Luz has this when Julia asks her to be her friend.
    • She also has this when she realises she just hugged Julia without asking and apologises. Luckily, for her Julia doesn't mind at all.
  • Many Spirits Inside of One: A side-effect of her stealing Quirks is that Luz inherits black, human-like shaped vestiges of their personalities. When Luz gives that Quirk to someone else, she loses those traits as well. They are incomplete when the person who Luz took the Quirk from is still alive. She's creeped out by them especially when they start moaning in pain as it reminds her of people she killed.
  • Messiah Archetype: Julia and the Pastor compare Luz to this, with her Power Palms feeding into this, as they give her the appearance of a stigmata. Her enemies with Fantastic Racism views, on the other hand, see her as a Dark Messiah due to her being a Person of Mass Destruction with a body count.
  • Mirthless Laughter: Luz gives a nervous chuckle as she tried to stop a fight breaking out between a heat-stressed Ronny and Judy.
  • Multi-Armed and Dangerous: Originally belonging to Derreck, "Multiplier" is the first Quirk Luz steals after the Death Camp. It allows her to grow up to 50 arms from her body; including her sides, back and on top of each other. She can also merge the many hands to together into Giant Hands of Doom. Being a power that Shigaraki had when he was alive, he eggs on Luz to take it before she kills the hitman.
  • My God, What Have I Done?: Luz has this reaction when she believes she just killed her mother and falls into a Heroic BSoD.
    • She also has this reaction when she realises that her destructive fight with the Wittebane assassins has resulted in the deaths of many innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
  • Never Be Hurt Again: Its noted by her counsellor that Luz never tried to make any new friends after losing 6 of them at the Death Camp.
  • Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Her various, destructive fights with the Wittebane assassins results deaths in a lot of innocent civilians caught in the crossfire.
  • No Social Skills:
    • Luz more than a few times thinks out loud things that could be seen as inappropriate to someone you just met. She notes that most people get mad at her in the past for blurting stuff like that out. Luckily, Julia is not one of those people.
    • She also mentally notes it was rude for her to not introduce herself to someone before asking that "Are you rich?" question to her, showing she's self-aware.
  • No Sympathy: Downplayed. While Luz does have brief moments of These Hands Have Killed, she's quick to remind herself that the people she killed were Asshole Victims tried to murder her first so it wasn't as if they didn't deserve it.
  • Not Quite Flight: The Quirk "Airwalk" gives Luz the ability to float upward infinitely. However, she can't move in any other direction. She can, however, move downward. Propulsion using any other ability can be used to allow her to move in any direction she wishes. But aside from that, it is only used to scale high surfaces.
  • Oh, Crap!: Luz has this reaction when she notices a giant plume of smoke in the direction of her Home Base.
  • O.O.C. Is Serious Business:
    • Luz realises that Shigaraki might not be lying about the Addictive Magic her Quirk causes, when she talks usually cold to Julia and become irritable.
    • Luz coldly notes they could leave Cody to die via running into a wild animal. Blinking, she does a Verbal Backspace to just tying him up instead. Its heavily implied to be due to All For One's influence.
  • Otaku: One thing that hasn't changed about Luz, is that she makes loves making Anime Music Videos (AMVs) and reading manga. This gives a brief Commonality Connection with Shigaraki.
  • Pay Evil unto Evil: With Shigaraki's encouragement, Luz avenges her murdered teammates' deaths, including her first friend Julia, by brutally slaughtering their killers. Afterwards, she's quite troubled by her lack of remorse for killing twenty people. She now plans to do this to the Wittebanes.
  • Patience Plot: Downplayed. Luz spends a portion of the chapter waiting for her friends killers to come back to the scene of the crime to avenge their deaths.
  • Pet the Dog: Despite part of her wanting to blame him for the slaughter of their friends, Luz can't find it in herself to do that and instead tells Stanley its Kennedy and his team that are responsible, not him.
  • Person of Mass Destruction: Luz can level an entire building with an massive explosion caused by one of her Deadly Force Field.
  • Pom-Pom Girl: Luz mentions to Julia that she did try out for being a cheerleader at her high school. It… didn't work out.
  • Power Echoes: Sometimes Luz gains Voice of the Legion becomes this when using her Quirk and losing her self-restraint in a fight.
  • Power High: Luz gets this when she takes the Quirks from her murdered friends.
    Power surged through her, just like the last time when she stole Cody’s power. But she didn’t stop there, oh no. She went around to every corpse in the base and took their powers.
  • The Power of Hate: Shigaraki encourages Luz to channel this to kill her teammate's murderers. She also channels this when Riley betrays her. After witnessing here mother get blown up.
    This anger… This despair… this hatred she felt. She would never let it go.
  • Power Palms: As an All For One holder, Luz has small holes in the palms of her hands. It's these that allow her to steal and give Quirks.
  • Power Parasite: All For One allows Luz to give and take Quirks from others. The process is painful for the person getting the Quirk/energy drained from them. It can also be used to steal magic.
  • Prematurely Grey-Haired: Luz's hair starts to turn white like Shigaraki's due to the constant stress, use of her Quirk and PTSD from the Deadly Game she survived. By the end of chapter 17, her hair turns almost completely white.
  • Psychotic Smirk: She tends to give small, malice-filled grins when getting a Power High from stealing a Quirk or under the influence of All For One. Its quite unnerving.
  • Pulling Themselves Together: After being blown to pieces by her cousin Riley, Luz does this with a combination of her Healing Factor and recently acquired Multi-Armed and Dangerous power, much to the shock and horror of all the enemies that have witnessed the scene. Its described as something close to a Lovecraftian Superpower.
  • Purple Is Powerful: When using her "Zero Gravity" Quirk, the objects that float are covered in a purple aura which uses with deversating effect.
  • The Quiet One: Luz becomes this after the traumatic events of the first arc.
  • Rage Breaking Point:
    • In chapter 8, Luz hits her's at Shigaraki after being dragged back to the Vestige World again against her will, causing her to lose her temper with him. Its noted that making Luz, of all people, angry was a very hard thing to do. However, Shigaraki being The Sociopath had a natural talent for doing so and regards her outburst with only mild annoyance, which only makes her more angry with him.
    • In chapter 11, Luz reaches hers after she discovers the brutal deaths of her teammates, including her First Friend, Julia Wittebane.
    • In chapter 17, she gives into her rage again after her cousin Riley tried to assassinate her.
  • Randomly Gifted: As one of the first people in her world to gain a Quirk, Luz is this by necessity. It is especially notable as she has arguably the greatest Quirk to ever exist, able to take, use and give any superpower that she wants at will.
  • Red and Black and Evil All Over: Subverted. Black and red lightning sparks from Luz's hands when she steals a Quirk but she's still a Nice Girl.
  • Red Eyes, Take Warning: Luz gains these when taking a Quirk or going on a Roaring Rampage of Revenge. They become permanently crimson red in Chapter 21.
  • Rejected Apology: When girl called Natasha tries to apologise to Luz for not defending her from her bullies out of peer pressure when they tried to be friends, Luz rejects it saying its not wanted or needed.
    Riley: Luz… I… I know y-you’re probably very, very mad at me… but you have to understand that I w-wasn’t given a choice
    Luz: Shut up. This is your fault… all of this. Everything that happened today… It was all on you. So do me a favour, and die.
  • Robbing the Dead: Luz feels some regret for taking the Quirks from her recently deceased friends with her Power Parasite ability, but she rationalizes it with the idea of needing their powers, especially since she plans to get revenge for them all.
  • Sanity Slippage: If it couldn't be any clearer, poor Luz is definitely going insane due to everything happening.
  • Scars Are Forever: After imploding from having too many Quirks, Luz gains a minor scar over her eye and larger lightning scar across her torso that her Healing Factor can't get rid of.
  • The Scream: Played for Drama. Luz does an agonising one after discovering the mangled bodies of her friends at summer camp and succumbs to All For One's influence in her rage and grief.
  • She-Fu: Luz mentally notes in chapter 11 that she's thankful to her mother for making her take gymnastics from when she was seven to eleven-years old.
  • Shell-Shocked Veteran: Luz is this after her dreadful experience at the Death Camp set up by The Governor, with diagnosed PTSD by The Shrink.
  • Sir Swears-a-Lot: Luz in the story is noticeably more prone to use profanity than she is in the show. Considering all the crap she goes through, it's hard to blame her.
  • Slasher Smile: Luz does this during her Roaring Rampage of Revenge when killing the others teams.
  • Slowly Slipping Into Evil: When she has a dark thought about wanting to to kill the Governor with a Psychotic Smirk, Luz fears that her power is going to corrupt her into some evil tyrant.
  • Space Master: The "Limitless" Quirk originally belonged to Sophia Humbolt of The Wittebane Church, an assassin sent to kill Luz. It allows Luz to create orbs of blue and red energy. Red is a purely offensive move, whereas Blue is mostly defensive, as shone off by its original user. Only one can be used at a time.
  • Spring Coil: The Quirk "Springlike Limbs" allows Luz to coil her bones and muscles like springs, giving them heightened resistance to drawback, knock-back, or kickback to any of their attacks. Luz can also launch her limbs outward around 5 feet from her body, and recall them back. It can also be used to jump high altitudes, easily covering small skyscrapers In a Single Bound.
  • Story-Breaker Power: Shigaraki certainly thinks so, and he's not wrong. The All For One Quirk is extremely powerful and advantageous. It allows Luz to steal all kinds of Quirks, and easily De-power entire crowds of Quirk users.Wityh her many powers, Luz can defeat many enemies, Quirk or no Quirk, with absurd ease. The only Quirk that is immune to this power is One For All, something Shigaraki hopes Luz can bypass.
  • Sucky School: Luz sees her middle school as this, or rather her fellow students made it that way for her.
  • Super-Empowering: Luz has this ability and does a lot after the Death Camp ordeal to reduce the number of Quirks in body to a safe level.
  • Super-Persistent Predator: Luz was prepared to wait for over 48 hours with little sleep in-between and forgoing food and water for her friends' killers to return to the scene of the crime.
  • Super-Strength: Originally belonging to Thomas, this Quirk gives Luz superhuman levels of strength, relative to her physical body’s strength. Its power will continue to grow as Luz becomes stronger, and has no set limit e.g. body training. She often uses this as a Required Secondary Power alongside her Absurdly Sharp Claws, Spring Coil or Giant Hands of Doom.
  • Super-Toughness: The Shock Absorption Quirk was originally from Stanley Richardson, this Quirk allows Luz to tank great force without any drawback to her physical body in a single blow. However, it can be worn down by the use of repeated, constant action applied at a constant rate, I.E. fire.
  • Superior Successor: Shigaraki considers Luz to be this, not because of her moral character> Its because her mind isn't worn away by the Quirk vestiges and more importantly awakened the All For One Quirk in a month, something Shigaraki couldn't achieve in his century long lifespan.
  • Superpower Lottery: All For One can steal Quirks from others, dead or alive, and wield them as their own. Luz can also combine the Quirks she has for stronger attacks. She can also give the Quirks to others. As Shigaraki explains, in a world where Everyone Is a Super, the one who can steal powers and give them to other people is the king.
  • Survivor Guilt: Luz has shades of this after living through The Massacre of Fools. Especially since she killed most of them.
  • Talking to Themself: Luz does during her Roaring Rampage of Revenge: A moral, rational side and an angry, vengeful side.
  • Teleportation with Drawbacks: Luz steals the Quirk "Warping" from Charlie. While useful it has drawbacks as all quirks do. Warping can only bring people to and away from the user, and in the case of the latter, only to people the user knows. It can also cause a severe case of tonsillitis to the user, and the slime produced while using it is noted to stink like hell. However, the user doesn't need to know anyone's exact location to use it.
  • Terror Hero: Luz aims to be this: A Symbol of Justice and Fear.
  • This Is Unforgivable!:
    • As far as Luz was concerned, everything that Shigaraki did in his life as a villain is this.
    • Luz also heartbreakingly considers her mother sending her to Reality Check Camp in order to convert her into a "normal" person to be this. No matter how she sliced it or diced it, that was something that only someone who hated a part of that person would do, even if peer pressure was involved. Luckily for Camila, Luz has forgiven her for it.
    • Luz sees the slaughter of half her team as this.
    She was angry—no, she was beyond that. She was livid. Someone was to blame for this, she knew that much.
  • Thou Shall Not Kill: Luz tries to abide by this in the Death Camp until she's rescued. She discards this after at the end of chapter 11.
  • Took a Level in Badass:
    • Originally, Luz could only safely hold 10 Quirks at a time before it started damaging her body. In chapter 17, All For One informs her that she now holds up to 15 after training her body up.
    • In chapter 23, Luz goes through a Quirk Awakening that not only allows her to hold more powers but enhances them, too.
  • Took a Level in Cynic: Even early than canon before reaching The Boiling Isles. She became closed off towards people outside of her family after the events of the Death Camp.
  • Took a Level in Jerkass: She has become more aggressive, violent, and abrasive to those that try to harm her, Camila and the innocent. Luz acknowledges that the Death Camp experience gave her a mean streak.
  • Torso with a View: Luz receives one of these from Millie the Witch's magic laser beam in chapter 17. Fortunately, it's nothing her Healing Factor can't fix, albeit with some scarring on her stomach.
  • Trying Not to Cry:
    • Luz does this when she thinks back on Shigaraki's words not wanting to believe the idea that her mother was glad that she was out of her hair.
    • After discovering the grisly remains of her friends, Luz told herself that she wasn’t going to cry repeatedly, over and over again. But… it didn’t work.
  • Twinkle in the Eye: Luz's eyes sparkle in awe at Julia's superpower.
  • Unskilled, but Strong In contrast to Hunter, who trained for years to learn how to master his Quirks, Luz isn't a refined fighter (only having had her first Quirk for a month) and her fighting style basically boils down to "mash together a bunch of powerful Quirks, blast the enemy until they die. That said, the incredibly clever and out-of-the-box ways she can learn to combine stolen Quirks show that this is still a very, very bad thing for most of her enemy Quirk users as they also lack skill and experience too.
  • Victory by Endurance: The Quirk "Stamina Negation" allows Luz to negate all Stamina depletion. She can never grow tired but this doesn’t make her The Sleepless.
  • Vigilante Man: Luz becomes one under the name "All For One" putting her on the cops' radar.
  • Vocal Dissonance: In a way. During her conversation with Hunter, Luz notices how much colder voice has become since the supermarket fight, like it belonged to a sociopath's.
  • What Is This Feeling?: Takes a moment for Luz to realise that what she's now feeling after discovering the massacre of camp friends is a level of rage she's never thought she was capable of.
  • White Hair, Black Heart: Ever since "The Massacre Of Fools", Luz's hair has started to turn white out of stress and using her Quirk but she's more of a ruthless Anti-Hero than a Villain Protagonist.
  • Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises: Luz has these when Cody sends a fist-shaped fireball at her.
  • Yank the Dog's Chain: Because of the strange anomalies caused by the Mass Super-Empowering Event, Luz entertains the idea that the Reality Check Summer Camp going from being delayed to being cancelled, due to what was going on. Camila tells her its just being delayed until tomorrow and she already paid the $250.00 for her admission.
    Luz: 1 point for dull and crappy camp. 0 points to Luz Noceda…. Crap.
  • You Remind Me of X:
    • When Luz calls their Power Parasite Quirk evil and wrong, All For One muses she sounds just like his younger brother, the first One For All user.
    • Luz's mannerisms and overall behaviour reminds Stanley of his sister, Marie, back home. Because of this he vowed he was going to do everything in his power to make sure she was safe.
  • You Monster!: Luz sees All For One as this through and through, and there was nothing he could say, do, or change about himself in his vestige form to make her think otherwise.
  • Your Approval Fills Me with Shame: Luz initially is unable to feel remorse for killing the 20 kids that tried to murder her first until Shigaraki hums in approval of her actions.
