While not being any part of a noble bloodline, Autry attempts to embrace every aspect of her fake gallant youth. Most notable is her high-standards that see both imposes on herself and how she expects people to view her. With no true royal title she still expects people to treat her as someone who would, and it isn't uncommon for her to ask her own staff to bow or bring themselves down to her eye level. It isn't clear if she does this because she knows she'd have inevitable neck pain or because her ego is so incredibly small that she feels the need to bring people down to her level of fragility. That said her confidence is supreme and if her emotions are so fragile then nobody would be able to point it out cause she very rarely cracks under pressure. She is someone who stands confident despite her short height, and is very quick to bark back if someone attempts to argue with her.
From a life of being looked down upon she doesn't tend to give people what they want if they try to tease her, and she will almost retort with something equally or well over vitriolic compared to what you said to her. Her confidence no doubt stems partially from her incredible view of herself as a girl who deserves all the respect in the world. There is no one who loves Blanche more than Blanche does and she spends at least 30 minutes every morning nose-deep in a hand mirror admiring herself. Though this confidence definitely doesn't carry over to her combat skills and she is the first to admit that she isn't the best hero, having had to stop because she knew she wouldn't ever be to cut it as a real hero. That said if she's in a room with her students there is no doubt she will stand tall and proud before them no matter what she needs to do, hoping to give them all a role model they can be proud of.
Her young body is paired with an equally young mind, and she is filled with youthful vitality. Sometimes her energy can seem boundless and when paired with sugar Blanche is quick to bounce off the walls with untapped potential. It isn't uncommon to found her sipping on tea that's just drenched in sugar while she's working late, with an utter distaste for bitter drinks. All of her tastebuds are just a childish and sometimes she will eat off the kid's menu because she thinks it tastes better, not just cause they always hand her one when she goes to a restaurant who doesn't know who she is.
When it comes to how the Royal Hero spends her money there is no doubt that she prefers spending large amounts on items that will serve no purpose more than simple decorations, and it isn't uncommon for her to use her own money to buy statues and busts of herself around the school. The more useless the item the more likely she is to buy it, even if she has no place to put it. That said spending her income in such extravagant way means she has very little to spend on her home and as such she finds herself having to sleep in a studio apartment when the school is out of season. This lack of foresight is a flaw she definitely refuses to admit... just look at all these beautiful drawings she commissioned of herself!
Despite her childish spending habits and tastes Blanche is a scholar at her core and it isn't uncommon to find her nose deep in a textbook for fun. She enjoys the pursuit of knowledge as one of her main hobbies and often encourages her students to do the same... though not everyone is so quick to do the same. Besides her love of learning she also enjoys books of knightly gallantry, but only when the knight is a girl. She's actually been working on a passion project in the form of a knightly novel regarding a girl clad in dragonscale pursuing the heart of a princess she doesn't know holds the heart of a wyvern, you should back it on her social media account and if you could get your friend to buy a cop-
When in business meetings she holds herself in high status, often speaking with a regal tone and manner that makes it seem like she is trying way too hard to be an adult. This regal manner continues with how she addresses her students treating them with respect and speaking to them in a way that makes it seem like they are about to hunt down a dragon. Sometimes people argue that she is talking about herself in speeches as well, as if in some roundabout way of speaking she is trying to hype herself up. Any attempts to point out any of these speakings flaws to her will only be met with, "What doth thou mean?"
That said when it comes to her staff she tends to speak to them in a domineering manner, constantly assuring them that they were in service to the students and not vice versa. She believes that proper teaching must be done with a level of freedom to allow the students dreams to not be quashed beneath the hard work of heroism all the time. In her eyes someone shouldn't focus all their time on nothing but heroism, but instead incorporate all their hobbies into a beautiful unison. How one's supposed to supplement art into their hero work is questionable but it is one of the core values Blanche holds.
APPEARANCE
WEIGHT: 74 Lbs
EYE COLOR: Purple
HAIR COLOR: Purple
FACECLAIM NAME: Ruler
FACECLAIM SERIES: Magical Girl Raising Project
One of the first things someone would notice about Blanche is her incredibly short height, retaining the same height and body as she did when she was 12. That said mentioning her height aloud will be met with sheer aggression and it is one of the few things that makes her visually upset. Her hair is a light shade of purple and as are her eyes, something she links to her definite royal destiny.
Her wardrobe is full of capes and suits, preferring to wear very elaborate clothing that a modern king would likely wear. That said she isn't against very extravagant dresses as long as they fit her aesthetic style of royalty. She also has casual clothes mostly consisting of warm sweaters and oversized hoodies though she would never reveal this to anyone and only wears them within the comfort of her own home, or when out and about in a city she doesn't often go around in. That said even when she is wearing her hoodies you can rest assured her black crown never leaves her head, and some argue that she doesn't take it off ever, even in bed.
HISTORY
Born to a rather non-extraordinary family in Tokyo she couldn't help but feel that her life was destined to be mundane, a fate she wished nothing more than to avoid. Both of her parents were news broadcasters and the only sense of excitement that had existed in her whole family was that of her grandmother, a former hero who went by the name Edelweiss. That said by the time of Blanche's birth her grandmother had already begin to slip away from the realm of reality as the disease began to riddle her mind. Yet there would be instances, moments within these cloudy seas that her grandmother seemed to drift in and out of that gave her hope. Stories of magnificent battles with villains and the rush that came from hearing the crowd cheer her name. The small girl found herself glued to these stories, and treasured them when she found the smile curling across her grandmother's face.
Sadly her parents weren't so fond of these stories of selfless heroism, seeing it as a fool's errand. The sweeping storm of villainy seemed to scare everyone... but Blanche didn't understand why people were losing faith in heroes too. A core principle of heroism seemed to be that trying was always better than just sitting and hoping that evil went away... tears would well into the young girl's eyes as that kind of thought slipped into her mind. This drove a nail between her and her parents relationship and only made the purple-haired girl grip tighter to her grandmother in a period where her grandmother couldn't grip any tighter.
Her birthdays were never that exciting, and often her parents wouldn't care to remember them... especially after they had gotten into a rather heated debate about the state of heroism. The young seven-year-old couldn't see what was wrong with them and refused to see things from their point of view. When she returned home that afternoon her parents were nowhere to be found, yet the smell of cake was still faint in the home. As she made her way into the kitchen she found her grandmother sitting there, albeit asleep and the cake sitting just before her across the table. Along with this cake was a long unwrapped present, a long ribbon curled around it. It wasn't much... just a long rod with the head of a bird at the end of it, but a wealth of stories told way more about the former flag pole. A weapon that was used to stop villainy dead in its tracks... but that was a long time ago. She found herself fixated on the staff gripping her fingers around it before hugging her grandmother tightly,
The next few years would be abnormal at worst, with her parents slowly attempting to distance themselves from her while her grandmother's health only declined further. It wasn't long before she'd inevitably lose her grandmother and her stories only a few months after her twelfth birthday. This would stand as the breaking point between Blanche and her parents, with her parents not wanting to throw her a hero's funeral due to the growing stigma. The young Autry while not rich... and while not good at anything other than school, would throw her own funeral for her grandmother with a promise that one day she would get her a proper hero's funeral.
After that, she'd continue to focus in school and soon she found herself applying for a hero school, and while none of the schools were impressed by her quirk she found a home in Isamu. If it wasn't for their support engineering programs it was unlikely she'd get a hero license at all... though a disdain between and her class would make her lose any pride in the school. Between students making "Blanche-sized" hero gear and teasing her about looking like she still had to sit in a car-seat, the wannabe hero had enough. She again double downed and drowned herself in work as she had always done when the going got tough.
And after three more years of studying and just barely getting through exam after exam of heroic education, she found herself with a hero license in her lap. But it wasn't as easy as that... she had soon found out. 5 years after graduating Blanche had only successfully saved 3 people and captured 1 villain. She wasn't made for heroism... her quirk was her limitation and it held her back. Accepting fate she did what she always did when the going got rough... and went to college with an Education major, and after 6 years of college, she would leave with a Masters in Education with a specialization in Heroic Education.
She'd find herself hired as a homeroom teacher for 3 years at Seiai, and later spending 5 years as a Heroic Education teacher before finally becoming the principal. In her time at Seiai she found that she found no greater joy than teaching students and helping lead the next generation of heroes. While she herself couldn't be a hero... having given up before being able to accomplish her dream, she teaches with the hope that each student she helps become a hero can fulfill what she never could. At Seiai she hopes to inspire other students to not go down the same path she did and to keep pushing when the going gets rough instead of going back to what makes you feel safe. It only took her 20 years to figure it out... and she doesn't want people to fall down a similar trap.
ITEMS
-Royal Support Gear: Blanche's support gear is highly based upon the outfits of ancient kings and queens and they are just as flashy looking as they are effective. It is rare to see her without them on hand.
-Royal Scepter: Blanche's weapon of choice is a blunt scepter tipped with a golden eagle, unlike her support gear she rarely keeps this on hand unless working around the school and even then it is just for show since Blanche's long since stopped doing hero work.
-Purple Phone: Blanche's phone is a tad outdated by modern standards and is adorned in several good-luck charms ranging from a black crown ornament similar to the one she wears to a cute chibi lion.
Quirk AND SKILLS
QUIRK TYPE: Mutation
QUIRK RANK: Titanium
QUIRK DESCRIPTION: The main function of Eternal Youth is that the user doesn't physically age beyond how they were when they were 12, negating the drawbacks of aging. This eternal youth grants them the vigor and vitality of someone much younger than what they really are and grants them a timeless body that prevents them from dying due to old age or disease.
Timeless Body: Blanche's body never ages, both in body and mind. She is fully capable of growing through natural means, however, though that muscle gain and growth will never decline into a detriment for her. On top of this, her body is completely immune to the effects of sickness, poison, and disease as her immune system is capable of decimating any harmful pathogens that enter her body. She also reduces the effects of any mind-affecting ability used on her by 3 posts due to her stalwart willpower that stems from her ever-youthful mind.
QUIRK DRAWBACKS: Being a quirk with few combat applications, the quirk has very few drawbacks that have to do with combat if any at all that said it has little to no combat benefits outside of niche circumstances. The main drawbacks of this quirk come through the roleplaying potential of being 12 forever. So just imagine any instance in your life and then think about being 12 in it and that's the drawback.
