Quirk Rambles/Thoughts Part 2
Hagakure: Her quirk involves reflecting light around her, but what if it is less of her reflecting light by relaying it to the other side (because then there would be a time delay on the passing light waves unless of course she has another level between her cell walls that speeds up the light waves by a level appropriate to where it is and how far it has to travel She would also need to have more radiation protection for her DNA then). A theory is that her mutant quirk is that she is transparent. However, the closest thing to a non-scientific/ no prior knowledge answer is the below. And my current understanding of the quote below makes me believe that in order for her to be transparent, her atoms/cells would have to be dense. Like superdense. And also that she would have to have lots of similar cells. So ignoring the dense cell part, her cells being similar could work if she was made of mostly Stem cells. Or if her cells revert to stem cells and or close equivalents when not being used for bodily functions. However, we could also go the route of chameleon based, but that would require, again, faster time so there isn't a time delay, and coloring that can quickly be made to reflect the environment. All in all, it is interesting to theorize about, even if my current theories are mostly unusable.
"A material that appears homogeneous to the human eye is really made up of minute crystals--regions in which the atoms or molecules follow a regular order. The boundaries between these regions are called grain boundaries. If the distance between boundaries is smaller than the shortest wavelength of visible light (in other words, if the refractive index of the material is uniform with respect to the light passing through it), then the material will appear transparent. Each boundary tends to diffuse the light that passes through; if the regions are small enough, however, the light waves essentially 'jump' right over them."https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/what-determines-whether-a/

Mina: Her quirk involves acid, with differing levels of pH. However, does acid include the acids and bases, or just acids? I would assume bases are in the skin cells so that she can neutralize the acid before it reaches her organs. And that the skin cells regenerate faster, especially in her hands. However, this leads to another question; would she be able to survive for an extended amount of time in more acidic or basic environments? And, if her entire body was full of acids or bases, is her stomach more or less digestive.
Yaoyaruzo: Yaoyaruzo's quirk says it uses lipids to create things. However, I have reason to believe that these are not your normal run of the mill lipids. Yaoyaruzo can build anything. And that means that her body is able to either change protons and electrons and nuetrons on a atomical level (like a supercollider) without ripping apart or that her body stores everything. I also believe that the reason it states lipids is her bodies own defense mechanism preventing it from stealing any carbon from her actual cells. Because almost everything is made out of carbon. However, if her body stores everything, she probably gets really weird food cravings.
Tokoyami: Personally, I've seen a bunch of these different ones, such as being a combined twin with a shadow quirk and Tokoyami has a touchbased telepath quirk, or Dark Shadow being a physical representation of his emotions, but delayed, or even one where Dark Shadow is a demon that Tokoyami chained to himself and controls (mostly). I see them all and I raise you Dark Shadow is actually Tokoyam's Shadow. Not just physically, but also emotionally. So Dark Shadow speaks the thoughts and words Tokoyami is too afraid/embarrassed to say, or rather, the feelings, which would allow for the different personality (Tokoyami being happy makes Dark Shadow happier and more pliant but acts differently because people respond to emotions in different ways.) This would also explain why he gets bigger in the night; because Tokoyami believes that Dark Shadow gets more volitile and is scared, and so Dark Shadow is scared and reacts more volitile.
