* NervesOfSteel: Deconstructed. Izuku’s experiences with ghosts and Bakugou have left him with great skills at compartmentalising.
* OcularGushers: As with canon, he cries at the drop of a hat.
* TheUnsmile: Izuku’s “baby-eating” grin, first seen during the USJ incident and popping up multiple times later, is caused by him [[StepfordSmiler forcing himself to smile]] while completely terrified.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Living with ghosts all his life has left Izuku a little creepier than before.
* WeirdnessMagnet: Ghosts tend to flock to Midoriya once they notice he can see them.
!!Rei
->''More ghostly rattling. Izuku has never heard her speak for as long as he's known her, and she's almost as old a friend as Bakugou was. That's all right, though. She doesn't need to talk to make him feel less lonely.''
Izuku’s best friend and CanonForeigner, Rei is a mute ghost who died under mysterious circumstances.
* CanonForeigner: An original character developed for the sake of fleshing out Izuku’s Quirk and giving him a friend.
* CreepyChild
* CreepyGood: As Izuku’s friend, she helps him with whatever he needs, which usually includes helping other people.
* DeathAmnesia
* TheEmpath: Rei’s Quirk
* {{Expy}}: Rei is explicitly based on Webcomic/{{Erma}}.
* FriendlyGhost
* GhostAmnesia
* JerkAss: Downplayed and justified. Dying as a child left her with a bit of an immature cruel streak.
* {{Poltergeist}}
* ProphetEyes: Averted. Being a poltergeist, Rei has BlackEyesOfEvil.
* SatelliteCharacter: Being dead, she doesn’t really have much to do except for following Izuku and helping him out.
* SlasherSmile
* StringyHairedGhostGirl
* TelevisionPortal: Like Sadako, Rei enjoys crawling through television screens. [[AvertedTrope Unlike Sadako]], there's no portal; she's just phasing through the screen.
* TroublingUnchildlikeBehavior: Justified, in that she’s a ghost [[spoiler:who was murdered]].
