Standing Out (Open)

Upon being approached by an upperclassman, Rena was also in for a pleasant surprise upon realizing how tall this other girl was, as she had certainly never met another girl around her age that was actually taller than her, even if it was only by a few inches. She smiled and nodded when asked if she was new, though that smile quickly faded when the subject shifted to her uniform. Upon hearing the question, Rena responded with an annoyed sigh that might as well have been the equivalent of flashing a giant sign with the words 'GEE, I NEVER HEARD THAT BEFORE' in bright flashing letters. Either way, it clearly annoyed her, though she took it in stride since, under normal circumstances, it might have been a logical assumption.

She had been so distracted by her annoyances with the older girl that she didn't even notice the other student show up. At least not until he started speaking. That said, the words that came out of his mouth was exactly what she needed to hear. Finally! Someone gets it! Even better was when he made an attempt to deduce what her Quirk was, and came surprisingly close. Come to think of it, her body did give off some heat, didn't it? She never really thought about it, since she was so used to it. Either way, she was quick to respond. "That's not quite it, but you're pretty close. My Quirk is that my blood is always boiling hot, which causes my internal body temperature to spike up to an insane level."

She paused, letting out a soft sigh "My body adjusted in a way that I can live semi-normally, but it's at such a high temperature that it would outright kill a normal person." She then made a point of addressing Marguerite as she continued. "Anyway, that's why I have to dress like this. I need to dress as lightly as humanly possible, otherwise I run the risk of...'overheating', so to speak. I'm already basically running a 24/7 full-body fever, so I have to be extremely careful about outside heat making it even worse. Believe me...if I could, I would gladly dress more modestly than this..." She let out a sigh. At least the explanation was a bit easier than usual, thanks to Kousuke.

But she was ready to put that behind her and move on to another subject. "Anyway, my name's Rena Ogawa...though, just 'Rena' is fine." She then turns to Marguerite "And it's just like you guessed; I just transferred into this school today, and I'll be attending the Hero class. I'll have a bit of catching up to do because of my late start, but I'm looking forward to it all the same."

Hearing as Kousuke immediately began pondering ways for her to use her Quirk, she couldn't help but smile a bit. Despite his bored expression and dull appearance, he seemed rather analytical and observant. When suggesting a gauntlet similar to the famous Blood Hero, she nodded "Yeah. I considered that myself, but there's no way it'd work. For one, the needle would need to be made out of a highly heat-resistant metal, which is apparently easier said than done. It's true that I'm used to the heat of my own blood, but it doesn't mean I can't be damaged by other sources of heat, like a straight flame or, in this case, super-heated metal. But more than that, an IV would be a bad idea simply because, with how much I move around, the tiniest slip could seriously tear up my arm."

As Kousuke went into more thought about potential uses of her Quirk, her attention shifted to Marguerite as she confirmed that her Quirk was indeed plant-based and that her flower was also part of it. Though she didn't really go into any detail about what her Quirk actually was. Not that she was going to pry, though. For the moment, she was content, and if Marguerite wanted to come out and go into more detail on her own, then she'd let her. As curious as she was, she wasn't trying to be nosy. That said, she was quick to deny wanting to touch it. "Eh? Oh, no, nothing like that. I was just curious about it, is all. Suffice to say, I've never seen anyone with a flower growing out of their eye."

Last but not least, Kousuke finally rejoined them, and when on to explain his Quirk as well. It already sounded interesting as it was, but then he went on to give the demonstration, at which point Rena was officially impressed. Granted, she was a fairly simple girl, so it didn't take a lot to impress her, but even so. He seemed to have a fair bit control over it. "Whoa...that seems like a really useful one to have. At the very least, I imagine it'd make it difficult to approach you...I'd be lying if I said I wouldn't have trouble dealing with it at my current skill level." Of course, she had a feeling it couldn't be that simple. She could only assume there was some kind of limit to what he could do. But all the same, she still found it impressive.
