Dame Noushiru - Blog Posts

// omg wait lol the new chapter means i can actually talk about Dame in a serious manner now, the precedent has been set and i can actually USE it now and by extension i can get more people in on the loop as to why Shimi is the way she is

Omg my quirksona has a similar quirk!! Has a shadow friend that shapeshifts depending on emotions. The more positive/calm the smaller and more friendly-based shadow and the more negative the bigger and scarier!! I wonder if they would be pals :0

// An o n I would love to hear more about your quirksona, but also B LEASE DONT BE PALS WITH DAME SHE’S SO BAD

This is Dame Nonoshiru, and her biological child Shimi Shinozuku!

Shimi does not live with Dame, because Dame had left her up for adoption immediately after birth (and also for story reasons that would lead Shimi to villany if she had been kept around).

Dame is a civilian/pseudo-villain. She has a low-end job, a kind of small crappy apartment and spends all her money on cigarettes and alcohol for the most part. 

Her life isn’t the part that makes her dangerous though! Because of how her quirk functions, being that in order for it be strong, she has to hate herself. As such she has a very basic, self-survival mindset. Nothing more than a few pleasure for the self but only to add more fuel to the fire of self-hatred. See, Dame is fully aware that what she does is “bad” and thus fuels the everlasting, “I’m a horrible person fire” she has kept lit for so long. 

Her mindset is very “everything that I do has to have a benefit for me”, which is a good part of why she had left Shimi out for adoption. The child of an accidental pregnancy, Shimi was just more weight for Dame and too much of a money drain and so the child was left to be picked up by someone else.

While the idea of having a child has no weight on Dame, she does see it as a weight to throw around if it were needed to be used. 

But the rest of her role in Shimi’s story will remain a secret for now!

TIME FOR LORE!!!!!! (some)

This is Shimi’s biological mother, Dame Nonoshiru. Her quirk revolves around the idea of self-hatred, and the more she hates herself, the more powerful her “shadows” become. Thus it is aptly named Depression. 

There’s more info to come about the role she plays on this blog!
