There's a new girl that is transferring (her name is Sakura-Angel Hope-Heart, but Aizawa calls her Sakura). But she is toxically positive and has a savior complex.
She refuses to let anyone just be sad, tired, or annoyed. When Aizawa just wants to drink his black coffee in peace, she snatched it away, replaces it with a cup of warm chamomile tea laced with raw honey, and whispers, "Bitterness in your cup means bitterness in your soul, Sensei." She has an aggressive, evangelical approach to health trends and veganism, acting as if eating a normal meal or taking medicine is a sin against the universe. She refuses to accept that people can just have bad days, normal preferences, or be tired. If someone looks annoyed, she treats it like a psychological crisis. Reading a textbook about a historical tragedy, closing it dramatically, and declaring, "Oh no, these poor people didn't manifest a positive outcome! I need to go back in time or write a strongly worded letter to the past to fix their mindsets!" She acts like she's a walking peace treaty sent directly by the United Nations, constantly reminding everyone that “Back in America, the government practically begged me to solve all their crime waves, but I chose you guys because you're my favorite fixer-upper project!” She reads a textbook chapter about a tragic historical event, gasps loudly, slams the book shut, and lectures the teacher on how “History wouldn't be so depressing if people just smiled more!” Instead of doing combat drills, she tries to "heal" the training ground dummies with friendship bracelets and positive affirmations written in pink gel pen. Telling Recovery Girl that healing quirks are cool, but what people really need is "healing crystals, positive vibes, and a good giggle." Swatting Aizawa’s black coffee out of his hand because "Caffeine is just a crutch, Sensei! Have you tried drinking a vibrant, naturally sweet organic wheatgrass smoothie of joy?" (She replaces it with a lukewarm cup of tap water garnished with a single, unwashed daisy). Saving people from things that aren't dangerous or don't want saving. Believing that every single problem—ranging from historical trauma to a burnt piece of toast—can be solved by looking on the bright side, singing a little tune, or holding hands.
It was a normal day at U.A. High—except it wasn't. Aizawa clears his throat to introduce a new girl, and she is an absolute nightmare to deal with, even though Principal Nezu never approved her transfer despite the American government begging for her to attend because she's "helpful" (actually, she has a severe savior complex and toxic positivity worse than anything that ever happened in this damned school).
Aizawa: Problem children, shut the frick up. Today we have a new—
Before he can finish, Sakura bursts through the door, wearing neon-pastel hero gear covered in smiley-face pins, holding a basket of gluten-free vegan muffins that nobody asked for.
Sakura: gasp Sensei! I sense dark, brooding energy radiating from your eyebags! We are going to do a trust circle right this instant!
Aizawa sighs, knowing this will be the longest day of his life as the class stares in absolute shock, horror, and disbelief at her terrifyingly bright aura.
