°Thinking°.
-------------
As Lian growled, his being began to disintegrate into small fragments of light, absorbed by the vast void surrounding him.
His mind, filled with turmoil, tried to process everything that had happened. "A new life? Seriously?" he thought as he fell into a limbo of conflicting thoughts.
"Now I'm a woman... with a strange quirk... in a world full of heroes and villains... What else could go wrong?"
Silence invaded his consciousness as he felt his ghostly body reconnecting with something solid.
Slowly, the darkness gave way to a warm, blinding light. Lian opened his eyes, blinking several times as his vision adjusted.
The place where he woke up was completely different from what he had imagined. Instead of a vast heroic landscape or a bustling city, he was in a small room, illuminated by sunlight streaming through white curtains.
It seemed like a modest place, with simple furniture and a bed where he lay.
Still dazed, Lian slowly got up and felt a strange weight on his body. "No... it can't be..." he thought, recalling the words of the Scriptwriter.
His gaze drifted toward the wardrobe mirror across the room, and what he saw made his stomach churn.
In front of him... or rather, her... was the reflection of a woman with long, almost silver-pink hair and a slender figure.
Her new appearance as Android 21, with soft pink skin, hair cascading down to her waist in a pink-white tone, and an expression that reflected inner confusion, all accompanied by a nightgown that fit her well-proportioned figure.
Lian let out a deep sigh and slowly touched her new face, as if still expecting to wake up from a bizarre nightmare.
"This... is definitely going to take time to get used to," she muttered, noticing that her voice sounded softer than she remembered.
Suddenly, a series of memories flooded her mind. They weren't memories of her past life but of her "current" life in this new world.
The identity she would have to assume, the details of her past in this universe, and her quirk, called by her younger self "Quirk: Gluttony."
"Alright, this is embarrassing and real..." she told herself, resigned as she tried to process the avalanche of information that kept coming.
The door to the room burst open, and a young figure rushed in. It was a boy of about fourteen or fifteen, with dark, messy pink hair and blue eyes, sporting a smile full of energy.
"Big sister Astra, you're up! You've got to see this! The new episode of 'Heroes of Tomorrow' is about to start!" he said excitedly, waving his arms as if he was ready to drag her out of bed.
Lian looked at him, blinking in confusion. "Sister? Astra?" she muttered, trying to connect the dots.
"Yeah! Come on, you always watch it with me!" the boy insisted, oblivious to Lian's internal conflict.
With a sigh, Lian decided to go with the flow. "If I'm going to be here for a while, I'd better adapt quickly," she thought as she got out of bed, noticing how her new body moved with unusual grace, though it felt strange.
Looking behind her, she realized that a tail was poking out of a hole in her nightgown.
"Great, I forgot about you," Lian, now Astra, thought, moving the tail as if it were part of her own body and bringing it closer to her face, swaying it back and forth.
"Sister, are you coming?" Ren poked his head through the door, seeing his sister playing with her tail with a weird expression.
Cough
"I'm coming, Ren, let me change," she replied, trying to play it off.
"Okay, sis, I'll be waiting. Mom and Dad already left for work."
Once Ren was gone, Astra decided to head to the wardrobe to find some clothes.
After taking off all her clothes, she chose white panties with a cupcake design, a large loose t-shirt, and a pair of sweatpants that were also baggy. Looking at herself in the mirror, Astra blushed.
"God, I know women don't dress like this, but all the other clothes are too tight or uncomfortable, and I want to be comfy at home," she thought, just as she realized she had forgotten something.
Looking at the mountains below her, she slapped her head.
"Crap, the bra," she said, trying to put it on, but finding it tricky. "Damn, it's easy to take off, but not to put on. Who knew?"
Tired, Astra controlled her tail to help her as she looked in the mirror. After several attempts, she finally managed.
"Wow, it turned out to be pretty easy once you get the hang of it."
Now dressed, Astra decided to head downstairs.
The TV was already on, and on the screen, several heroes were in the middle of a battle.
But while Ren was completely absorbed in the show, Astra couldn't stop thinking about the dangers she would now face.
The world of My Hero Academia was dangerous, and the constant threat of powerful heroes and villains loomed large.
It wasn't all sunshine and rainbows; one small mistake could prove fatal, and if she wasn't careful, she could die as collateral damage in a battle between heroes and villains.
Astra got lost in these thoughts as she gazed out the window, where the towering buildings of the city rose on the horizon. She knew she would have to adapt quickly to her new life.
Just then, Ren elbowed her playfully, breaking her concentration.
"What are you thinking about? You're so serious," he said with a carefree smile, his face lit up by the excitement of the show.
Astra looked at him and smiled faintly, trying to hide her unease. "Nothing... just thinking about unimportant things."
Though Ren seemed to suspect there was more to her answer, he quickly got distracted by the TV, where heroes were fiercely battling villains, destroying everything in their path, with cars flying through the air.
Relieved that her brother didn't push further, Astra began to recall the information she had remembered about her family.
Ren was her younger brother, only three years younger. Unlike Astra, he had been born without a quirk, a fact that bothered him constantly and caused him to have mood swings despite his usually cheerful and upbeat nature. She was determined to support him in any way she could.

Astra looked at her brother with a mix of affection and concern. She knew he was fighting his own battles and felt driven to be the older sister who would guide and protect him.
Her mother, Sakura, had a quirk known as "Mutant Demon." She had a demonic appearance: short, with pale pink skin, red eyes, a black pointed tail, and platinum hair complemented by two rounded horns protruding from her head.

Her quirk allowed her to absorb people's emotions; for example, she could eliminate someone's feeling of exhaustion, though this didn't mean their body wasn't still tired. However, the downside was that this power caused her to have multiple personalities, something she managed through coffee or the company of her family, who often helped to calm her.
Her father, Natsu, was a burly, muscular man who bore scars across his body. Unlike his wife, he had no quirk. He had dark hair and equally dark eyes that reflected deep wisdom and strength.

As she snapped out of her thoughts, Astra glanced at the TV and her attention fixed on the time. Immediately, an urgent thought hit her like lightning.
"Crap! I need to take you to school! How could I forget?" she said, a mix of panic and frustration in her voice. Then she turned to Ren with a deadly glare. "And why didn't you remind me?"
Ren, sensing the Grim Reaper's whistle coming for him, jumped up, utterly terrified.
"Ren, go change right now, or I'll tell Mom about the magazines under your bed!" Astra threatened with a malicious smile.
More scared than at the sound of death's whistle, Ren slowly turned his head toward Astra, his face drained of all color.
"H-h-how do you know about that?" Ren stammered, his voice trembling. But how? I made sure to hide them well.
Astra looked at him with a mix of patience and amusement, watching her brother struggle to figure out what to do. Finally, she sighed and answered him.
Sigh
"Little brother, you forget that I'm the one who cleans the house when Mom and Dad are working and you're at school. Hiding a box under the bed, where I obviously have to clean, wasn't the brightest idea," she said, flashing him a mischievous smile. "So, go get changed quickly, little bro~"
Ren felt like he was watching his body from a third-person perspective, unsure of what to do. Maybe I should call a hero, but if they find out what I've got, they'll think I'm a complete degenerate...
"Got it, captain!" Ren replied, as pale as a ghost.
And with the speed of lightning, he dashed to his room as if his life depended on it.
Astra watched as Ren disappeared into his room, running as if he were fleeing from a villain.
The situation made her laugh inwardly, though she couldn't help but feel a bit guilty for scaring him so much.
It was amazing how that brat could go from carefree to utterly terrified in a matter of seconds.
But as the older sister, it was her duty to keep him in line, even if it meant using a little "family secret" as ammunition.
Sighing, Astra flopped onto the couch for a moment, allowing herself a few seconds of rest.
She glanced back at the TV, where the heroes continued to fight on-screen. The explosions and dazzling powers barely caught her attention now; her mind was elsewhere.
°So much had happened in such a short time since she arrived in this new body and new life.°
Her gaze drifted towards the stairs where Ren had gone up.
He had so many things to think about, but at least his worries were much simpler.
"School, his insecurities about not having a quirk, and those magazines..."
She couldn't help but smile, remembering the look of horror her brother had made. However, behind that façade of older sister superiority, Astra felt a growing responsibility for him.
She knew the world was harsh; her memories of this world, and of the manga, proved her right. Even more so for someone like Ren, quirkless, in a society that valued power so much. Not having one could be a living hell for some.
Astra glanced at the clock again, realizing that if they didn't hurry, they'd be late.
"Ren!" she yelled from the living room. "We don't have all day! You're going to be late, and Mom will kill me if she finds out!"
From his room came the sound of things crashing to the floor, followed by Ren's hurried voice.
"I'm coming, I'm coming!" he replied as the sound of rushing footsteps echoed down the hallway. Seconds later, he came running out of his room, his school uniform somewhat disheveled, and his backpack slung haphazardly over one shoulder.
Astra looked him up and down, narrowing her eyes skeptically.
"Are you really going out like that?" she asked, pointing at his misbuttoned shirt and mismatched shoes.
Ren, slightly out of breath from rushing, looked down at himself and let out a defeated sigh.
"Ah, damn it!" he exclaimed as he quickly tried to fix himself.
Astra shook her head but couldn't help but smile. She walked over to him and began helping him straighten up.
"I don't understand how you can be so absentminded," she said as she adjusted his tie with her hands, and with her tail, she fixed his backpack. "Good thing you have a sister like me to save your butt."
Ren smiled slightly, still a bit embarrassed about the magazine issue.
"Yeah, well, I don't understand how you always catch me..." he muttered, still a little flushed.
Astra gave him a gentle tap on the head, though lovingly.
"That's because I'm a genius," she joked, as she fixed the last button on his shirt.
Once he was ready, Astra grabbed the keys, and both of them left the house, running through the streets toward Ren's school.
Despite the rush, Astra couldn't help but feel a bit relieved.
The everyday chaos, though sometimes exhausting, gave her a sense of normalcy in the middle of everything strange she was going through.
When they reached the school entrance, Ren was about to say goodbye when Astra stopped him.
"Hey, Ren," she said, turning serious for a moment. "I know I joke with you a lot, but I want you to know you can count on me, okay? If you ever feel bad about the quirk thing, or anything else... just tell me."
"...And if anyone bothers you, tell them a pink monster will come and eat them." She said the last part while puffing out her chest proudly, like Superman.
Ren looked at her, surprised by his sister's sudden seriousness. But then he smiled sincerely.
"Thanks, Astra. I know. And... the same goes for you, you know? No matter how big you are, you can always count on me. After all, I've been working out to get big and strong," he responded, smiling from ear to ear as he flexed his muscles.
Astra smiled at her brother's silliness, feeling a warmth in her chest.
"Alright, little guy. Now go, don't be late!" she said, gently pushing him toward the school door.
Ren ran towards the entrance, turning back one last time to wave before disappearing among the students.
She stood in front of the school for a moment longer, watching as other students, with their neat uniforms and backpacks, entered without a care in the world. Some with peculiar appearances, others more "normal-looking," while some had just one eye, glowed, or even had walking clothing—there was even one who was a toilet.
Astra sighed deeply before turning to head back home. The morning air was fresh, helping to clear her mind as she walked down the already busy streets.
The murmur of conversations from passersby, the sound of cars, and distant sirens reminded her that this world was vibrant, always in motion, always full of life... and danger.
As she walked, her mind began to wander back to her current situation.
"Everything I knew had changed."
Not only did she have to adapt to her new body, with a tail that still felt strange, but also to the role of an older sister in a different family. And there was the bigger issue: "What did she want to be?"
"If I want to survive here, I'll have to train my quirk. Especially if I want to survive the fight against AFO," she thought as she turned a corner.
The street she walked down was filled with shops and cafés, with people rushing in and out, and on every corner, giant screens displayed news about heroes fighting crime.
This wasn't a world where ordinary people could just ignore what was happening around them.
Everyone was affected, directly or indirectly, by the events the powerful brought to life.
Astra knew that eventually, she would have to face that world, and at that moment, she would have to decide whether to fight against the law, live with the law, or destroy the law.
As her thoughts deepened, she reached a small park, one of those peaceful places found in the middle of the city's hustle and bustle.
She decided to sit on one of the worn wooden benches, seeking a moment of calm before heading back home. As she sat, her tail instinctively coiled around her, and though it startled her at first, she realized it was starting to feel more natural.
Maybe she was getting used to this new body faster than she expected.
Astra lost herself for a while in the park's scenery, watching how the children played regardless of their appearance. One child declared he wanted to be a monster while the others laughed around him, and a kid with a lizard-like appearance acted as a villain while a boy with the ability to control leaves confronted him.
Grabbing a candy she bought on the way, Astra quickly started eating while pulling out her phone to search for information about the world, mainly about quirks.
She needed to be proactive. Maybe she could find a place to learn more about her own ability and how to use it effectively.
As she scrolled through her phone screen, a breaking news alert caught her attention: A Mud Villain had been sighted in the city center. The news advised everyone to be cautious because he was on the loose but assured them to stay calm since the heroes would handle it.
The images seemed to be captured from the city center, not far from where she was sitting. The live footage showed destroyed buildings and shops under rubble, while heroes fought to rescue people trapped beneath the debris, and Astra felt a pang in her stomach.
This was real.
It wasn't just a television spectacle; it was the world she now lived in.
She could be walking down the street and suddenly find herself caught in the middle of a deadly conflict.
"Great, I was sent back to the same day MHA starts; that Mud Villain is what allowed Deku to later transform into the supreme McDonald's seller."
sigh
"There's no time to hesitate," she murmured to herself as she turned off her phone screen. She knew that preparation would be key in this unpredictable world, and she no longer hesitated to use whatever was necessary to survive.
Finally, she got up from the bench, took a deep breath, and began walking toward where the villain had last been seen, with a goal in mind that would change her forever.
