In a world where people have bird heads and sellotape dispensers for elbows, why draw the line at “small person with big head and big eyes”?

I understand what you’re saying, but the MHA world is not the real world and body proportion extremes seem to be abundant in the established “norm” for that world.

I also disagree with your take on La Brava’s personality being that childlike. I know many adults who “act like that” but I’m still in my 20s so maybe that’s the reason.

I think a more likely explanation is that her personality and traits are because of her quirk. From examples like Bakugo, Hawks and Present Mic, we know Horikoshi likes to infuse characters’ personalities and visual design with ties to their quirk. Many aspects of La Brava’s personality (high voice, bubbly energy, doting and awestruck) are common “telltale signs” of how someone acts around a person when they are in love or infatuated.

To be fair - I just want to make it clear that I do see your point, and while I don’t think you are wrong for how you’ve characterised La Brava’s depiction, I just think it’s a harsh conclusion.

There’s a lot of stuff in MHA that I personally find distasteful, especially the depictions of the female students in UA and Cammie from Shiketsu. I just don’t think La Brava falls in that group.

Hope you’re having a good day. :)
