Personality
Himiko Toga is a very cheerful girl. Her face is always filled with a smile even when she is about to kill someone. While in danger, she gives psychopathic vibes and smiles, but the smiling only stops when she’s bored or annoyed.
Himiko can be easily embarrassed with the idea of people coming at her or while she is naked when copying the clothes of the people she has transformed into. She is mentally unstable and has a very twisted personality. Himiko uses her Quirk quite bravely, or at least very confidently, even impersonating a Hero and attending an internship that gathered several students interested in heroics and Pro Heroes. Her idea of friendship is very unusual. She wants to become those she likes(her quirk works this way)and does Toga, behavior not hesitate in tying them up and draw their blood.
Her psychotic personality and violent habits aside, Himiko seems to have some standards, since she was shocked and upset by Twice’s death. When Twice feels that he caused Magne’s death, she comforts him as well. (My Hero Academia Manga Chapter 57)
Strength and skills
Himiko is a very strong character and a great fighter. She is an acrobatic shapeshifter.
Himiko’s quirk is “Transform”. She can transform into people and look exactly like them as well as their voice. Engrossing blood of a person serves as a source to activate her quirk. As long as the victom’s blood remains her quirk keeps working.
She can switch between one person’s form to another persons’ form if she has ingested the blood of more than one person. She needs to clear her mind to transform into someone else’s appearance. When Himako’s quirk is deactivated, her disguise turns into a gray viscous liquid. (My Hero Academia Manga Chapter 105 and 147)

Past/History
Himiko was born as the eldest daughter in the Toga family. Due to her quirk, she showed a weird attraction towards blood that was disturbing for her parents. She once brought a dead bird home and she did something that made her parents disgusted so they tried to suppress it (her quirk) by putting immense pressure on her. Himiko took it to heart and began to suppress her affection towards blood. She behaved like a normal young schoolgirl as expected of society. She successfully hid her abnormal tendencies and was known as a cheerful and well-mannered girl by her classmates.
One day, she saw her classmate named Saito getting involved in a fight. During that fight, he started to bleed which gave Toga a huge rise in her attraction towards blood.
Himiko attacked aboy with a box cutter, seemingly under the influence of this obsession. She stuck a straw into his wound and began sucking his blood. Some other students who were passing by and witnessed the assault had a shocked look on their faces. She became enamored with blood and hurts several people after this incident. Soon after she hid from police as she was a suspect on the run for serial murders involving blood drainage. Later she joined the league of villains because she wanted to create a new society.
After joining the league of villains, she performed several activities that we will discuss in detail
Final exams arc
Kagero Okuta also known as Giran brings Himiko toga and Dabi to join the league of villains. Himiko was excited to meet Tomura Shigaraki and asks him to let her join the group. Both of them were disliked by Tomura, and he wants them removed but Kurogiri (a member of the league of villains) convinces Tomura to give them a chance. Her name and appearance have been withheld from the public and she is the suspect in a series of murders by blood loss.
She speaks about life being too difficult and wishing it could be easier to live. In addition, she says she would like to be like Stain, kill Stain, and be part of Tomura’s group.
Tomura was a bit confused and asked Giran if Toga is crazy. Giran replied she is good enough to use and introduced Dabi. By asking about the commitments of the League of Villains, Dabi hurt Toga’s sentiments, which caused the two to argue.
Tomura takes offense to the recruits’ loyalty to Stain and attacks them after arguing with Dabi. Himiko draws her knife and counterattacks, but Kurogiri uses his Quirk to end the fight.
After that Kurogiri asks both of them to be patient because an answer for them is yet to come.
Forest training camp arc
Himiko is finally a part of the league of villains and is assigned to Vanguard Action Squad. Vanguard action squad was a group of ten elite villains. They attacked U.A. on their first mission. Their role in the Forest Training Camp Arc is to serve as antagonists. Himiko and six other villains sneak into the Wild, Wild Pussycats’ forest reserve, where U.A. High School students are training. Vanguard Action Squad members watch over the campsite from a height. When Himiko puts on her new clothes, she complains that they don’t look cute. Rather than focusing on its aesthetics, Mustard emphasizes that it is important that it work. He ignores her and says that it isn’t attractive enough
The vanguard action squad started their mission the next evening. When Himiko finds Ochako and Tsuyu she attacked them and cut Ochako’s upper left arm. The blood was not enough for her to transform into Ochako. All three of them fought until other students arrived on the scene. Himiko fleed with the fear of getting killed by those students.
(My Hero Academia Episode 40)
Hideout Raid Arc
After successfully kidnapping Katsuki, Himiko returns to the hideout with her comrades. Tomura and the others explain why the League exists to destroy Hero Society, and they try to convince him to join. Takatsuki refuses and attacks Tomura, causing the mask to explode. The U.A. student wishes to be like All Might rather than a villain. Himiko said she wanted to stab Katsuki but Tomura tells everyone to calm down. During all this, someone knocked at the door claiming to be pizza delivery and All Might broke through the wall of the hideout along with a team of heroes. All of them fought together and defeated the league of villains by successfully rescuing Katsuki.
(My Hero Academia Manga Chapter 80 and 85)
Provisional Hero License Exam Arc
Himiko is sent on a mission to infiltrate the Provisional Hero License Exam by the League of Villains. Drugging Camie Utsushimi, she steals her blood to disguise herself as a Shiketsu High School student.
Himiko confronts Izuku alone about halfway through the exam’s first phase. Through her acrobatics and stealth, she catches him off guard and tags one of his targets. Izuku can be eliminated from the test if Himiko tags all three. Himiko calls Izuku out for being absentminded in the middle of a war zone. While they were combating other competitors appeared and Himiko disappeared. She then transformed into Ochako and pretends to be in danger so that Izuku helps her. He saved her and finally caught her red-handed when she was changing back into Camie.
Himiko eliminated 2 persons and became the 98th person to pass the first phase of the exam.
(My Hero Academia Manga Chapter 102 and 104)
Shie Hassaikai Arc
After the UA exam, Himiko reunited with her group in a secret hideout that is a warehouse. Twice brings a new recruit Overhaul who is the leader of Shie Hassaiki. Overhaul suggests that the League of Villains work for him, but they refuse. Magne attacked Overhaul because of his behavior and disrespect to League Of Villains but she got killed within the seconds.
Several days later, Tomura meets with Overhaul to form an alliance, with the condition that he tells him his plans. Overhaul in return demands Twice and Toga as proof of trust. Upon accepting, Tomura informs Twice and Toga of the situation. Neither of them accepted this offer. Himiko confronts Tomura with a knife. She turns her knife towards Tomura’s neck and asks him why would he do such a thing? She also said that the reason for her to join the League Of Villains was that they make her happy.
Tomura finally removes his mask and tells Himiko that Shie Hassaikai is trying to overtake the League of Villains and Tomura needs Himiko and Twice to do this to help the League. He tells them that he believes in both of them and the duo is moved by Tomura’s words.
Himiko and Twice are brought to Overhaul’s place and finally meet their team. Overhaul asks them to introduce their quirks. Himiko refuses as she still hates Yakuza and Twice agrees with her. Later Shin Nemoto uses his quirk to confess twice. After observing the situation Himiko felt embarrassed and told about her quirk.
The place was later investigated by heroes. They all fought but Deku defeated Overhaul and Shie Hassaikai was arrested by police and was transferred into a villain hospital.

She has a twisted personality. She gets excited by the idea of getting the blood of someone she is obsessed with i.e. Izuku Midoriya.
