Biography

Shōto Todoroki (轟 焦凍 Todoroki Shōto) was the youngest son of Enji Todoroki and Rei Todoroki. During the rise of a superhuman society, one of the developments that came was the use of Quirk Marriages. These were treated as a form of arranged marriage though the purpose was to get forcibly marry two parents with strong Quirks in the hope that their offspring would inherit both powersets thus making them incredibly strong. With this in mind, Enji Todoroki forcibly married Rei who was a powerful ice user with this being achieved by using his wealth, power and influence to convince her family. Though unhappy, Rei consented to the marriage with their union leading to their youngest son who was Shoto Todoroki that gained his fathers fire abilities and his mothers ice powers. Enji Todoroki as the second ranked hero named Endeavor intended for his son to train and surpass All Might with him submitting his child to incredibly harsh training. His mother tried to protect her son but was rebuffed by his father who struck Rei in front of the young Shoto. As a result, Shoto could only remember a hard life and most of his memories of his mother was of her crying. Over time, he came to resent his father who prevented the young Todoroki from even meeting his own siblings. The only comfort he ever had was from his mother who encouraged him to become a hero. In his youth, he watched a TV special on All Might who encouraged children with Quirks to make their powers their own with Rei telling Shoto that he was not a prisoner of his bloodline and that he could use his powers as he desired. Events later changed when years of domestic abuse took their toll on Rei with her unable to bear to look at Shoto's left side as it reminded her of Enji. One day, she was on the phone to her own mother talking about her trauma and that she came to recognise that she was no longer mentally stable to raise her child. At that moment, Shoto arrived whose sudden appearance startled his mother and when Rei saw his left side she snapped and threw boiling water over the boy face leaving him with a burn mark over his left eye. In the aftermath, Rei disappeared and when Shoto asked about his mother, Enji told her that he had her sent to the hospital for hurting him. Despite the injury, Shoto never blamed his mother and instead attributed fault to his father for everything that happened in their family. The years of anger and resentment caused Shoto to forget the words of support his mother gave him on becoming a hero whose powers were his own with the young Todoroki vowing to never use his left side fire based powers as a sign of rejection of his father.
