Bright Flames, Dark Shadows: My Hero Academia

[X] Independence. To stand outside of your father's shadow is as much of an important goal as spiting him. Not being known as 'the daughter of that abusive asshole' is one of your highest priorities.

[X] Guilt. You never want to be put into a position where you can't protect people again. You are not going to be a bystander on the sidelines. Not after what happened to Mom.

Nice to see more the detail on their family relationships, would like to interact with Fuyumi in the future.

Mmm, to boil it down I think Guilt is essentially the more traditionally heroic motivation. Independence doubles down on Rin being a little ball of spite that will need to someday learn the True Meaning of Being a Hero as part of her character development.

I don't really think guilt is like that. It can morph into that, but think about what Rin was thinking about earlier; that if she had Shoto's quirk maybe she could have saved mom. It's still pretty spiteful and self-referential, and if it grows into something more it'll do so in the same way that independence grows form "fuck dad" to "be your own person".

To me, Independence seems like it'd actually line up with Shoto's motives. Guilt sets us apart since that was never the focus of Shoto's character arc in MHA.

Besides that, I love the conflicting combination of guilt and spite as motivation. I think it makes for an interesting character.

Sets her on the path to being an arc antagonist in an AU MHA interschool competition arc which will end in her losing a fight and having a change of heart? Yes please.

i like this one because it shows that this early inbto her arc rin is stilll pretty preoccupied with what happened to her mom, and also is one of the 2 which leave the possibility of learning to be a true hero as a point of character development for later

Independence feels like the only thing Rin would allow herself to say at this time. Like Shoto said, it's been years that he and Rin have had a genuine conversation and that's exactly why I can't go for Guilt. It's too real of a look into Rin's heart and I don't feel that she is at the point where she would bare herself like that. I mean she can only just admit it to herself, never mind to the brother that she focusing a lot of her resentment on. There's too much distance to connect like that as siblings while at the same time the baggage from that distance can't let her talk to him like an objective stranger.

It's precisely because she resents Shouto that she'd tell him that, and it's be a really mean thing to say to him and reflect how distant they are from each other :V

I don't think guilt will be presented as an earnest heart-to-heart. It has the potential to blow up in a big way and I like it.
 
That much is true. If Guilt ends up winning, it's likely to turn out into a shouting match, with "I'm gonna do what you loser should have done from the start!" on one hand, and "I don't see YOU picking up the [] Reconnect with Mom option last time it appeared, jerkass!" on the other.

... Now I kind of want to vote for it in fact.
