Where some have the ability to create explosions with their sweat or control over ice and fire... Phoebe's quirk merely allows her to augment fruit with different properties. If she touches fruit of any sort with all five fingers; she can augment fruit with healing or explosive properties. Originally, she could only augment fruit with healing properties, but in her first year, she has learned how to augment them with explosive properties. So I'll start with the former: healing. If Phoebe infuses fruit with healing properties, once they are consumed the consumer's wounds will begin to heal. The size and type of the fruit depend on the severity of the injuries healed; cherries and grapes could heal cuts, an apple could heal broken bones, and watermelon can bring someone back from the brink of death. It depends on how much of the fruit is eaten, too. If you eat half or one-fourth... then that's how effective the healing will be. She can also take advantage of the healing, but the effect will be halved. As for explosives, the same principles apply: the bigger the fruit, the larger the explosion! Grapes would have the same effect as an M-80, while an apple would be like a stick of dynamite, and watermelon would produce an enormous explosion. To trigger the explosion, they have to be significantly disturbed, and the best way to do that is for Phoebe to throw it at an enemy (or at their feet). Now there are a few ups and downs here; first, off she can't instantly apply the effect and she needs a few minutes to charge it up. Also, she has to use the fruit almost immediately, or else the effect will get progressively worse until it wears off completely! Also, it goes both ways, as in enemies can eat her fruit or prematurely trigger an explosion.

And if you're not number one; you're not important."[/i][/color]) When you think of a hero; you think kind, selfless, and ultimately generous person. Unfortunately, Phoebe is not any of that and sheโ€™s more or less everything wrong with the hero world. Phoebe seeks to become the best hero not out of an inherent desire to help people, but merely to stroke her ego. The girl thinks that sheโ€™s the best the world has to offer and isnโ€™t driven to improve the world or defeat heroes other than her fame. Unfortunately, she has a very cynical outlook on things and thinks that all heroes are in it for their gain - which isnโ€™t entirely wrong. So she just skips the middle man and feels anyone that treats heroism as some sort of legitimate good deed on society is a moron and will gladly condescend to them. This piss-poor attitude roots from some relatively shitty interactions with current heroes, and she mostly uses this attitude as a barrier for her idealism that she has deep down. However, despite the girlโ€™s attitude, she can, at the very least back it up with her skill and knowledge, just not experience.[/indent] [sub][b][color=lawngreen]๐‹๐ž๐ ๐ž๐ง๐[/color][/b][/sub] [indent]([color=lawngreen][i]"I will prove all those bastards wrong!"[/i][/color]) Now, Phoebe Carmicheal is the โ€œdaughterโ€ of a very successful and wealthy hero known as Thunder, who is - you guessed it - a lightning hero. He married his wife the hero known as Juicy Fruit, a fruit hero that immigrated to the states from Japan. They had a family of several different people and they all lived happily ever after in their mansion in SoCal. However, something was amiss when Phoebeโ€™s quirk manifested - all of Thunderโ€™s children had a mixture of his and Juicy Fruitโ€™s quirks. It was almost like Phoebe wasnโ€™t his daughter. Because she wasnโ€™t. Phoebe was born from an affair between Juicy Fruit and a healing hero and that manifested in their quirks coalescing into Phoebe. Unfortunately, Thunder knew this and resented Phoebe, being unable to come to grips with the fact that the love of his life betrayed him and sired this bastard. While he called Phoebe his daughter he mistreated the girl at every available opportunity, calling her weak, having no chance at being a hero, and belittling her whenever he could. However, this eventually began to weigh down on Phoebe as she used this as motivation to become the greatest hero, as she dug deep into not just the American hero world, but the hero scenes in every other country. Aspiring to become the greatest hero in the world, above even All-Mightโ€ฆ but her fatherโ€™s beratings weighed down on her. The rest of her family joined in on it, calling her a weakling as well as they launched successful hero careers. Phoebe knew that they were in it for the money, everyone in the hero scene was once you did some digging, Stain had a point thereโ€ฆ but she was going to prove herself as better than them. Well, not in morals because that was a lost cause but she was going to become the most knowledgeable and skilled hero in the world. She proved them wrong just by getting accepted into the Eirei Academy after passing the entrance exam with flying colors. [/indent] [/hider]
