"I can't attend U.A. I have to go to Sakamoto High School. Whether my dreams live on or not, I must avenge my brother first! I must! No matter what!"

- Kyoko after she meets Izuku for the first time

Haruni Konekomi  (子猫眠 春に Konekomi Haruni), also known by her hero name Soft Meow Hero: Pawruni, (ソフトヤーンヒーローパウルニ Sofutoyān Hīrō Pauruni) is the main protagonist and a student of U.A's Class 1-A, training to become a Pro Hero.

Appearance
Kyoko is a short, young girl with a petite figure. She has sensitive skin and large, vibrant, blue eyes. Her blonde hair is short, spiky, and rests just above her shoulders. She wears headphons slighty hidden by her hair that she uses to talk to others. The headphones change faces on the muffs of them to convey expressions.

For her costume, Kyoko wears a skin-tight, white, sleeveless suit with yellow bands and detailing and a cutout on the stomach. There is also a small device on the back of the suit that connects to cables that enter her back to reduce the drawback of her quirk. She also wears yellow-souled boots with black and white legwarmers over them. Yellow strips fall from her top and shorts and she wears white and black gloves that are sheer at the ends with yellow trim and glitchy detail. She pins her hair up with four long, white pins and wears white headphones with a translucent bow on top th at reduces the drawback to her quirk as well.

Personality
Kyoko is a sleepy and quiet girl who usually keeps her focus on her computer or gaming system. She is very distant and doesn't focus on making friends much since that isn't her first priority, but she is up for meeting new people. She converses with people through her headphones. When she needs to say something the sides of her headphones convey her feelings and thoughts with pixelated faces. Most people think she’s mute because of her refusal to talk, but she rather is scared of using her voice due to a traumatic event from her past. Her headphones are connected to her brain and can s ay what she's thinking. Kyoko could always turn the headphones off when she doesn't want them to talk.

Kyoko prefers to work alone and usually tries to keep it that way unless it is forced upon her. She is used to taking care of herself and is completely capable of supporting herself on her own. Her m ain focus is on her brother and she usually doesn't accept help from other people unless it's a group project. She has the mentality that she doesn't need help from anyone because otherwise she will get sidetracked or something won't go according to how she wanted.

Although being observant and clever, she is completely oblivious to any feelings someone might have towards her. She calls all the people she knows by the honorific “-san” and prefers to be called Kyo~chan. She is usually a calm individual while her headphones do the expressions for her.

Due to her observant nature, she can tell when someone is hiding something or lying. Once Kyoko notices something or learns a new topic, it swims through her mind like data and code.

When it comes to her family Kyoko gets extremely excited and passionate. She doesn't see her parents very often and calls them every day while she's at school to see how they're doing. While trying to find her brother's bullies she becomes extremely determined and intense.

Since her quirk includes glitching, her body glitches out sometimes depending on how she feels.

History
Kyoko was born into a kind and loving family. Her mother was a nurse with a healing quirk, her father a lesser-known hero who fought crime. Her older brother was also attending Sakamoto High School to become a Pro Hero. Once Kyoko was attending junior high school, her brother began to become a victim of bullying. Eventually, he ended up committing suicide just after his sister's graduation from junior high school.

Kyoko's dreams of entering the U.A. were shattered after the incident as her entire demeanor changed. She decided to cancel her application to U.A. and apply to Sakamoto High School instead to try to avenge her brother's death.

After the entrance exam, Kyoko's throat was severely damaged by a U.A. student after she tried to defend a boy with green hair from bullies. Whilst stepping in to help, a boy with blonde hair severely damaged her throat after attempting to aim at the boy whom she later discovered was named Izuku. The blonde apparently named Bakugou went to punch Izuku and ended up shoving his fist into Kyoko's mouth and sending a tiny explosion down her throat, damaging her vocal chords.

Izuku stepped up and took Kyoko to a hospital and she never forgot his face, admiring him as the one who saved her and took her to the hospital. Once she arrived at the building the doctors were able to repair her voice somewhat, but it was permanently raspy and hoarse, causing her to never speak to anyone again.

A pair of high-tech headphones were made for her so she could still speak and talk to people.

Abilities
Keen Intellect: Kyoko is shown to be very observant and smart. Though she stays focused on her games most of the time, she also pays close attention to her surroundings and other people.

Insomniac: Kyoko is able to stay up very late, often staying up for days at a time. She doesn’t sleep often but takes multiple naps or dozes off sometimes during the day.

Quirk
Code: Kyoko’s quirk allows her to “glitch” or teleport from place to place. She can also teleport other people by touching them and glitching away. When she gains her hero suit she also earns the ability to shoot glitchy particles out of her hands and arms. These particles give other people glitchy qualities. (Ex. render the enemy quirkless or paralyzed for a few seconds) Once the “code” is rewritten fully it will only last for three minutes at most. She also has the ability to send out projectile glitches and viruses from her arms. When she overuses her quirk her body begins to glitch out and she is rendered with glitchy vision. To restore her full power, she needs to be connected to a computer of some sort and must absorb the data inside it. Her body converts the data into cells.

Super Moves

 * Duplicate: Kyoko creates up to fifteen clones of herself to distract an enemy or deal multiple attacks.
 * Disrupt: Kyoko can completely stop someone's attack using her glitch particles and rewrite the “code” inside it so that it attacks the enemy instead.
 * Binary: Kyoko repeats the numbers 0 and 1 in binary order while quickly glitching around. In this mode, she can glitch at inhuman speeds and attack quicker.

Equipment
Hero Costume: Kyoko’s suit allows her to glitch around more efficiently and emit glitch particles.
 * Kyoko’s Boots: This equipment allows Kyoko to stay stable when glitching around and has a soft padding at the bottom that's specially made to cater to Kyoko's fast movements. They also prevent her feet from getting sore.
 * Kyoko’s Sleeves: Kyoko’s sleeves were made to allow her to send glitchy cells in her body at other people. The particles she can emit are composed of the same particles in her body she uses to teleport around. (it's b asically her DN A)
 * Kyoko’s Cables: This equipment was made specifically to puncture Kyoko’s back and connect to a small device on the back of her suit that reduces the drawback of a glitching body.
 * Kyoko's Bow: This equipment w as made specifically to connect to her headphones (which are connected to her brain) and reduce the drawback of glitchy vision.
