History Fanfic / TogaHimikosGuideToTimeTravel

* BunnyEarsLawyer: Mei maintains her NoSenseOfPersonalSpace, poor people skills, and technical expertise as in canon, but also can offer useful insights about Izuku's Quirk that he figures out Full Cowling after talking to her once during the Sports Festival.

** Being from the U.S, Pony asks her classmates to call her by her first name, and gets [[{{DontCallMeSir}} rather annoyed]] when they attempt to call her Tsunotori.

* HatesTheirParent: Himiko's internal thoughts make it clear that she ''despises'' her parents and everything they did to her.

* LineOfSightName: Himiko has taken the pseudonym of Naomasa Himiko from Naomasa Tsukauchi's calling card given her by All Might.

* PaperThinDisguise: What is the extent that Himiko takes to hide her identity from the U.A staff, which includes Nezu? She changes her last name. Not only that, but changes it to the ''first name'' of a well-known detective who is close to several members of the U.A staff. Nezu is able to see through Himiko instantly, only entertaining her disguise so as to not drive her away from U.A and into villainy.

* {{Polyamory}}: Aside for Himiko planning a three-way relationship with Izuku and Ochako, ''Inko'' used to be in one with Mitsuki and a currently unknown third party - and wants to help her son making it work with Himiko and Ochako.

* YamatoNadeshiko: {{Subverted}}. Himiko's parents attempted to turn her into one of these, emotionally abusing her to suppress her interests and wants and forcing her to know and only care about traditional feminine hobbies and to only have the desire to become a housewife. To say the least, they failed horribly, as while Himiko is a more feminine girl, her love for violence and desire to change the world lead her to become an A-rank villain in the original timeline and a hero in training in the current timeline, rejecting what her parents attempted to turn her into.

* {{Polyamory}}: Aside for Himiko planning a three-way relationship with Izuku and Ochako, ''Inko'' used to be in one with Mizuki and a currently unknown third party - and wants to help her son making it work with Himiko and Ochako.

''Toga Himiko's Guide to Time Travel and Convincing Your Friends and Crushes to Join the League of Villains'' is a ''Manga/MyHeroAcademia'' fanfiction by [[https://archiveofourown.org/users/TequilaBard/pseuds/TequilaBard TequilaBard]] based on the "Future Toga" [[spoiler:and "Engineered Solutions"]] AU on Creator/DeusVerve's writing blog, and can be read [[https://archiveofourown.org/works/47055061/chapters/118547374 here]].

* AdaptationalVillainy: Whilst Himiko's parents, in canon, did deny her urges which would lead to her snapping and becoming a SerialKiller, it's never made clear if they were outright abusive towards Himiko or if they were decent people who just [[{{ParentsAsPeople}} weren't prepared for Himiko to have such odd desires and reacted by forcefully suppressing her urges, unknowingly abusing the girl with little idea of the consequences]]. Here, however, the story is ''very'' implicit in painting the two as emotionally abusive toward Himiko, suppressing not only her need for blood but also any personality trait or interest that would fall outside of their idea of a perfect daughter. And if that wasn't enough, it's heavily implied that the two were physical with Himiko on occasion.

* WhatIsThisFeeling: [[spoiler:Mei has a quite obvious crush on Himiko, but her utter lack of experience in socializing means she doesn't understand that).

* DemotedToExtra: Kuroiro plus all of Class 1-A except Izuku and Ochako, as Himiko is in class 1-B in Kuroiro's place. In particular, Mineta didn't pass the Entrance Exam and so far had a cameo during it, expressing admiration after she saved him from some bots.

* OnlyFriend: Himiko, much to her surprise, is the closest person to Mei after they talked ''one time''.

** During the exam Himiko recognizes many examinees as people who want to become Pro Heroes for the fame and the money, exactly the kind of "Fakes" Stain wants to kill. She hopes they fail the exam so Stain and her can spare time and blades.

* VillainHasAPoint: Himiko's cynical viewpoint on Heroes happens to be correct from time to time due the experiences that shaped it:

* SpottingTheThread: Three times so far about Himiko:

* FishOutOfWater: Himiko is used to a world where "normal" people and Heroes hate people with "villainous" Quirks and attitudes that aren't "normal", so she's completely out of her depth as a UA student, where the most anyone cares about her Quirk's dietary requirements is because they need to procure the blood she needs to eat, Tokage apologizes for getting her so uncomfortable she drew a cutter and ran and [[spoiler:her classmates don't hold against her the fact she stabbed Tokage during a panic attack]], and the teachers are actually helpful.

* {{Polyamory}}: Aside for Himiko planning a three-way relationship with Izuku and Ochako, ''Inko'' used to be in one with Mizuki and a currently unknown third party - and wants to help her son making it work wih Himiko and Ochako.

** Tokage, Kendo, and Shishida [[spoiler:have figured out Himiko has a blood-fueled Quirk and abusive parents, that she's ran away from home, and at least Lunch Rush and Kan know it from how she acts in general and the two teachers act toward her]].

* FishOutOfWater: Himiko is used to a world where "normal" people and Heroes hate people with "villainous" Quirks and attitudes that aren't "normal", so she's completely out of her depth as a UA student, where the most anyone cares about her Quirk's dietary requirements is because they need to procure the blood she needs to eat, Tokage apologizes for getting her so uncomfortable she drew a cutter and ran, and the teachers are actually helpful.

* IRejectYourReality: At least at the start Himiko rejects the idea Heroes and Hero students (aside for uncorrupted first years) may be genuinely good people trying to help, leading her to look for ulterior motifs for any help they give her and [[spoiler:not realizing that when she ran into All Might in skeleton form it was him who slipped the money in her pocket and that he had no intention to drag her to some orphanage]].

* SpottingTheThread: Twice so far about Himiko:

* TheTease: Himiko to everyone she finds cute, but ''especially'' to Izuku and Ochako. [[spoiler:Backfires on her when Izuku and Ochako believe the rumors about her and [[CrashIntoHello her run-in with Mei]]]].

* CrashIntoHello: Mei was about to visit the Support Department when an explosion threw Mei at her, boobs first.

* TheTease: Himiko to everyone she finds cute, but ''especially'' to Izuku and Ochako.

** Nezu identified "Naomasa Himiko" as Toga Himiko and recognized her villainous tendencies and that she had some bad encounters with Heroes well before the exams are scored by what she wrote in the written part and the fact she's using the name of someone Nezu knows personally.

* OpenSecret: Nezu identified "Naomasa Himiko" as Toga Himiko and recognized her villainous tendencies and that she had some bad encounters with Heroes well before the exams are scored, and informed the staff so they could show her Heroes can be good and prevent her from going full villain.

* SpottingTheThread: All Might [[spoiler:has realized Himiko is a time traveler after seeing her Hero costume is pretty much Izuku's and Ochako's mixed together with a skirt]].

* AccidentallyAccurate: As Class 1-A was wondering why Himiko acts as she does with Izuku, Mina jokingly suggested that she's from the future and came back to save him from a terrible fate (and Himiko ''thinks'' she's doing just that).

* VillainHasAPoint: Himiko's cynical viewpoint happens to have good reasons:
** Shortly after escaping from home Himiko runs into All Might in his normal form, and thinks that if he were to realize she's a runaway and[=/=]or homeless she'd drag her back to her abusive home or to an orphanage... Because she has seen other Heroes doing just that. [[spoiler:Thus she fails to recognize he identified immediately as a runaway and gave her the space to choose if to stay on the streets or go to his friend Naomasa, or that it was him to put hundreds of thousands of yen in her pocket]].

* VillainHasAPoint: During the exam Himiko recognizes many examinees as people who want to become Pro Heroes for the fame and the money, exactly the kind of "Fakes" Stain wants to kill. She hopes they fail the exam so Stain and her can spare time and blades.

* SetWrongWhatOnceWentRight: Himiko's plan after she discovered she is back in time is to corrupt Izuku and Ochako into joining her as villains. The tags reveal she will not only fail, but accidentally become a proper hero herself.

* GoodIsBadAndBadIsGood: Himiko's perspective on Heroes and Villains is heavily warped, recognizing the former as oppressive and "fakes" and the latter as friendly, to the point she's repeatedly surprised when UA's staff acts nice instead even after discovering her Quirk.
