vi.– backstory
Charlie McDowell was born on July 16 to parents Javier Camacho Hidalgo and Ashley McDowell (or the Hazy Hero, Miasma) in Portland, Oregon. They were born without a physical head, causing them to be held over in the hospital for a week. It was discovered that their lack of a head was just part of their quirk, and that it was nothing to worry about. At the age of 5, the true aspect of their quirk manifested, causing their head to appear as a swirling, nebulous entity with no set form of its own. Throughout elementary school, Charlie was bullied extensively for their quirk and lack of a physical head. It got so bad that Javier brought up the idea of moving out of Portland, which both Ashley and Charlie agreed to.
Life in San Francisco was leagues better than Portland, as there was a wider variety of quirks around Charlie, causing them to make more friends than they ever did. With that, their confidence grew immensely. Despite the relentless bullying they faced in their youth, Charlie was known for their big heart, becoming someone they needed most as a kid.
In their freshman year of high school, Charlie was a witness to their mother's final mission as a hero, which ended with her being tragically killed by her opponent. This shook them to their core, but thanks to support from those around them, it didn't completely break their spirit. As a sophomore, they joined Oceanside High's hero course, vowing to bring their mother's assailant to justice.
...and then the fic starts.

a/n: I feel like this character is the closest thing to a self-insert I have. They're not a self-insert, but I probably put the most aspects of myself into Charlie (namely the aroace stuff, cryptozoology, and pigeons).
