Nana Shimura
144
Nana Shimura, was the seventh user of the One For All Quirk, the former mentor of All Might, a close friend of Gran Torino, and the grandmother of Tenko Shimura. Nana was a kind woman with a strong sense of justice. She believed that a true hero should smile, no matter how grim the situation, since people who needed to be saved needed not only to have their lives protected but also their hearts; she showed great empathy and emotional resilience. Her overall value for bravery and happiness was where All Might would adopt his iconic smile to put other people at ease. Initially, Nana had a more cold and grounded attitude as a hero, chiding a young Toshinori Yagi for intending to fight a group of villains with just a lead pipe and refusing to make him her pupil at first due to him lacking a Quirk. This perception of him changed however when she saw his desire to become a pillar of hope for people who were living in fear. Although she regarded Toshinori's desire to be a Symbol of Peace as somewhat crazy due to him being Quirkless, she nonetheless brought him up with her trusted friend, Gran Torino. She subsequently took Toshinori as her student and successor, which is a testament to her openness and optimistic belief in the potential of others, even when they are at a disadvantage such as Toshinori. Much like her pupil, Nana's heroism extended to self-sacrifice as upon her fated battle with All For One, Nana showed no fear in the face of death, instead smiling and passing on her will to her successor.
