Analysis of Chitose Kizuki (Curious): Past, MLA Recruitment, and Heteromorphic Status

Curious's Past and Early Career

Journalistic Background

Chitose Kizuki began her career in journalism during her early days in the industry, where she developed her core philosophy of never backing down from a good story. This foundational period shaped her aggressive investigative approach and her belief that face-to-face interviews were superior to rumor-based reporting.

Pre-MLA Professional Life

As Executive Director of Shoowaysha Publishing (a parody of Shueisha, the real-world publisher of Weekly Shonen Jump), Curious held significant influence over public media distribution. This position provided her with:

Extensive resources for information gathering

Access to intelligence networks without government suspicion

The ability to shape public opinion through published content

A legitimate cover for her later terrorist activities

Joining the Meta Liberation Army

The Recruitment Process

The document reveals that Curious met Rikiya Yotsubashi (Re-Destro) at some point and subsequently joined the Meta Liberation Army. The specific circumstances of their initial meeting aren't detailed, but their relationship appears to have developed through shared ideological alignment.

Rikiya's Influence on Her Methodology

A crucial moment in Curious's development occurred during a meeting with Rikiya, where he critiqued her journalistic approach:

He read one of her articles and told her that writing based on rumors wouldn't interest readers

He advised her to conduct direct interviews with subjects

He emphasized that "an article to guide public opinion must contain human heart"

This guidance fundamentally transformed her approach, leading to her obsessive interview style that she later employed even during deadly combat situations.

Integration into MLA Leadership

Curious became one of the top commanders of the Meta Liberation Army, which consisted of over 100,000 members. Her role combined her journalistic expertise with military leadership, making her valuable for both propaganda operations and tactical command.

Heteromorphic Characteristics Analysis

Physical Appearance

Curious possessed several distinctive physical traits that set her apart from typical human appearance:

Pale blue skin - A clear heteromorphic trait

Black sclera with green irises - Unusual eye coloration

Lilac hair - While unusual, this could be natural or cosmetic

Comparison to Other MLA Leaders

The document explicitly states that "Chitose was the only woman amongst the Meta Liberation Army executives," but more significantly for this analysis, her physical characteristics suggest she was the only heteromorph among the leadership.

Theoretical Reasons for Her Unique Status

1. Representation and Legitimacy

Having a heteromorph in leadership positions could serve several strategic purposes:

Inclusive optics: Demonstrates that the MLA welcomes all types of Quirk users, not just those with "normal" appearances

Broadening appeal: Attracts heteromorphic individuals who might feel marginalized by mainstream society

Living propaganda: Her presence reinforces the MLA's message about Quirk liberation and acceptance

2. Personal Experience with Discrimination

Heteromorphs in the My Hero Academia universe often face discrimination due to their appearance. Curious's blue skin and unusual eyes would have made her stand out in society, potentially creating:

Personal understanding of societal rejection based on Quirk-related appearance

Motivation to join a movement promoting Quirk liberation

Authentic connection to the MLA's anti-discrimination message

3. Professional Advantages

Her heteromorphic appearance might have actually benefited her journalistic career:

Memorable presence: Her distinctive look would make her recognizable and potentially more effective at networking

Disarming effect: Her unusual appearance might make interview subjects underestimate her or feel more comfortable opening up

Authority through difference: Her success despite her appearance could have enhanced her credibility within heteromorphic communities

4. Strategic Value to the MLA

The MLA would have recognized several strategic benefits in recruiting a heteromorphic leader:

Diverse skill set: Her journalism background provided unique capabilities for propaganda and intelligence gathering

Community connections: Access to heteromorphic networks and communities

Symbolic importance: Her presence demonstrates the MLA's commitment to true equality among Quirk users

The Significance of Her Death

Impact on MLA Representation

Curious being "the only executive of the MLA to have been killed in battle" carries additional weight when considering her status as potentially the only heteromorphic leader. Her death represents:

Loss of heteromorphic representation in leadership

Elimination of a unique perspective within the organization

Reduction in the MLA's ability to appeal to diverse Quirk communities

Symbolic Implications

Her death during the battle with Himiko Toga symbolically represents the vulnerability of those who are "different" in society, even when they achieve positions of power and influence.

Conclusion

Chitose Kizuki's journey from journalist to MLA executive represents a complex intersection of personal ambition, ideological alignment, and potentially, lived experience as a heteromorph in a discriminatory society. Her unique position as the only heteromorphic leader (based on her physical characteristics) suggests that the MLA strategically valued diversity in their leadership, both for practical and symbolic reasons. Her recruitment by Rikiya appears to have been based on mutual respect and shared vision, with her journalistic skills proving invaluable to the organization's propaganda efforts.
