Sorry I was away for the past two days, anyway....

As for Namie, I think they would hit it off fairly easily. and Kazuo is, to me anyway, a character who should be likeable and easy to click with as far as friendship goes. And you know, he probably would wanna spar with her on a friendly basis. 

If I had to discuss a scenario I wanna see, I kind of want a showcase of quirks.

Namie at this point is very much at this point determined to prove she is great on her own. I can see Kazuo fanning the flames a bit by playfully jabbing at Namie in a manner contesting what Namie trying to be great. Looking at Kazuo and his Quirk, I give Kazuo 7 out of 10 matches against Namie on his good days. Namie is not a gifted combatant and does not have super speed or strength but she only knows how to fight up close so due to poor adaptability will lose more times than win.

Namie understands that she can't win all the time, unlike Bakugou, but she won't like a losing record. SO she'll likely throw herself stubbornly into sparring matches often. Early in the RP she'll probably lose a lot but as she learns a bit more control and tactics, the fight will likely be much closer. Thus, I predict a very heated rivalry but Namie will probably be heavy on the fury and such while I predict Kazuo will be a bit easier. Of course they are naturally bonding at this point so it'll turn out to be a nice little friendship.

On another note, Namie and Kazuo would work well in tandem. One of the things that Namie knows she can use her Quirk for is body temperature control. The solid form feels like an ice cube and by having a few spikes on her head, she can cool her body better than sweat potentially. That is a big boon for endurance and Kazuo could totally benefit if they work together.

On a more serious note, I think Ume and Namie hitting off on a friendship would be fun to see. Both of their demeanors would be very tomboy-ish in the beginning, and they both have a versatile quirk; perhaps Namie's confidence could rub-off on Ume over time. Who knows.

How about it, [@Pirouette]?

Totally. I actually see Namie making Ume her first friend in class. Their Quirks are both fairly similar in the biological control department which is their ice-breaker. Ume is also (I believe) not very confrontational so it'll be easy for Namie to feel comfortable in the relationship as Namie won't feel aggressively competitive towards Ume. In fact going back to the Quirk thing, Namie could definitely inspire confidence Ume as Namie is secreting a gross syrup-y fiber from her body but doesn't even phase her when her arms are drenched with that stuff. So naturally, Namie would not be concerned or grossed out with Ume's Quirk and would definitely step in to tell her first friend that she shouldn't worry about it.

I imagine Namie being fairly responsive to any questions or doubt Ume voices but will likely not pry until later in their relationship once they understand each other a bit better.
