History Fanfic / Quietlikeafight

!! quiet like a fight contains examples of:

The odyssey of Rachel Gardner, who isn't actually as Quirkless as she once thought and has zero compunctions against using that to get what she wants.

Being stuck in Japan is a bit more of a hurdle than a death sentence and a high security institution, but she and Zack have dealt with steeper odds, she's pretty sure. Plus Ultra, as they say.

* AdaptationalHeroism: Rachel saves three people during the entrance exam, and later [[spoiler:shoots Shigaraki to protect Momo]].
** Though how much of this is due to the [[spoiler:[[HeelFaceBrainwashing self-inflicted brainwashing]]]] or [[spoiler:Rachel's tendency to respond violently to traumatic situations]] is open to interpretation.

* BadassAdorable: Rachel is noted by multiple people to be delicate, pretty, and doll-like. She also [[spoiler:earns the top spot in the practical entrance exam with eighty-three points, takes down Bakugou in a training exercise, wins said training exercise with what is effectively a mock murder-suicide, and ''shoots Shigaraki three times''.]]

* ChekhovsGunman: Ray's across the hall neighbor in her apartment complex [[spoiler:turns out to be Todoroki's older brother Natsuo, as she discovers after she lets Todoroki crash at her place after the Sports Festival.]]
* DarkAndTroubledPast: While rather [[ConditionedToAcceptHorror neutral herself on the matter]], the other UA students are horrified when they learn about Rachel's past during a class assignment. And that's not even the full story...
* DeathSeeker: Rachel still wants to be killed by Zack, even after discovering that she cannot be killed.
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu: Admittedly more along the lines of "Did You Just Flip Off the Number 2 Hero?", but Rachel shows Endeavor zero respect [[spoiler:after learning about his homelife from Todoroki.]]

--> '''Shinsou''': gardner I know I say this a lot because of you but\\

* NoMedicationForMe: As part of her self-inflected brainwashing, Rey typically flushes her medication. It...doesn't exactly help with her mental state, as one could guess. [[spoiler:Though her interactions with Todoroki and others eventually convince her to start taking it again.]]
* OneSteveLimit: PlayedWith. Ray's nickname, in katakana, is spelled as Rei, as such, had [[spoiler:Natsuo]] commenting that it gets confusing since the name of his and Shouto's mother is ''Rei''.

* PublicSecretMessage: Rachel's speech at the beginning of the Sport's Festival comes across as a meaningful continuation of her entrance ceremony speech to Izuku. It's actually a call to Zack to let him know where she is.
* ResurrectiveImmortality: Rachel’s quirk. Doubles as a form of HybridPower as it's a combination of her parents's quirks. Her mother has the ability to make wilt flowers come back to life, while her father's quirk can make bruises disappear.
* SecretKeeper: Todoroki is the only one to know about the real circumstances of Ray's DarkAndTroubledPast. PlayedWith, however, that Ray haven't told him everything about her story and events that occured in VideoGame/AngelsOfDeath.
* SecretSecretKeeper: Bakugou is impled to be aware of the truth about Ray's [[AbusiveParents family situation]], something that Ray has yet to tell with anyone else other than Todoroki, and kept quiet.

* TranquilFury: Ray's reaction [[spoiler:when Shigaraki declares that he'll kill her. Even Kurogiri becomes horrified at her when she said the following]].

* UnreliableNarrator : Rachel sometimes miss social cues due to her upbringing or delusion, such as missing Hitoshi having swollen eyes because he cried when learning about her past

--> '''Rachel''': …you think… you’re the one that gets to kill me?
