She is described as being relatively short in stature, and her clothing suggests that she possesses a slim yet curvaceous figure. Prior to her true face being unveiled, Toru mentioned that she resembled a combination of Yang Guifei and Francis Xavier.

In terms of her visible features, there is a brief glimpse of Toru's reflection seen through Yuga's laser. It shows that she has medium-sized messy hair and thick eyelashes, which are predominantly yellow but also feature pink and turquoise strands.

Her Hero Costume

Toru Hagakure's hero costume consists of a pair of baby-blue gloves and white boots. Interestingly, when she removes both the gloves and boots, she gains the ability to become completely invisible.

Personality

Toru Hagakure is characterized as a lively and enthusiastic girl who possesses a natural exuberance for the world around her. She enjoys socializing with her friends and displays an optimistic outlook on life. Her outgoing nature, cheerfulness, and kind demeanor contribute to her amiable personality. Toru is known for her affinity for engaging in conversations with others and her fondness for cute things.

Additionally, Toru demonstrates strategic thinking and utilizes her invisibility quirk tactically during combat scenarios. Rather than confronting adversaries head-on, she leverages her ability to remain unseen, employing stealth as a means to gain the upper hand. This approach allows her to surprise enemies and effectively end fights by launching surprise attacks.

However, there are moments when Toru exhibits a lack of awareness concerning her own quirk. Despite prioritizing her invisibility, she can experience moments of embarrassment when undressing in front of others, even though her hero costume already provides minimal coverage.

Powers and Abilities

Toru Hagakure's quirk is Invisibility, granting her the power to render herself completely unseen. While her invisibility appears to be constantly active, she has yet to be witnessed in a visible state. This ability enables her to excel in stealth-based techniques and effectively conceal herself from both friends and foes. Moreover, Toru possesses a keen understanding of how light interacts with her body, allowing her to manipulate it to her advantage. She can utilize light refraction to blind opponents and even control light-based attacks like lasers.

It is important to note that the drawback of Toru's quirk is that achieving complete invisibility necessitates her being completely unclothed. As a result, her body becomes vulnerable to environmental elements such as extreme temperatures and physical attacks from others.

Trivia
