@erxsxre said: To follow up on her birthday gift with the guitar, under the tree within the common room of Heights Alliance was a box addressed to her from Santa. Within was a schedule for guitar lessons as well as a few plectrums and a guitar strap, nestled snuggly into the bottom of the box was also a microphone.

Eri had been sent to look for a present under the tree and gasped loudly when one box was addressed specifically to her. Immediately, she ripped apart the paper and pulled open the box (thankfully, Santa had made it easy for her to open).

@heterochromatica said: Having overheard her question, he looks at her, blinks and then crouches down to be on her height before he starts talking. "Bastard was originally a word for a child who's parents aren't married, they used it in the middle ages as a insult because having children without being married was considered weird. It's not anymore. That's why we don't use that word anymore. It makes people feel bad usually."

Eri blinked a few times as she took in this new information. "Oh..." she said softly. "So it's a mean word that people shouldn't say?"

Eri nodded her head enthusiastically. She was really curious about his answer.

When Kaminari showed her the picture of Pikachu and explained what the character was, her eyes lit up. "He looks really cute!" she exclaimed before looking up at him. "Does that mean that Kacchan-san thinks you're cute too?"

@oncforallxbroccoli said: Izuku carefully walked up behind Eri with a big smile on his face, as he held the squishmallow of Derpy from Kpop Demon Hunters out to her. "Happy birthday, Eri-chan!" He was also holding a slightly smaller gift bag that had a figurine of Rumi in her attire from the end of the movie. He did want to put the squishmallow in a bag so it could be a surprise, but all he could find was a gift bag to fit the figurine.

Eri jumped a little when she suddenly heard a voice behind her. She turned around, her eyes widening when she saw Deku holding presents out towards her.

Of course, her eyes darted towards the Derpy plushie. "Ahh! It's that cat from that movie we watched, right?"

Deku and her had watched Kpop Demon Hunters recently, and she was really drawn to Rumi's character. She really loved the songs too.

She took the squishmallow and hugged it to her chest with a smile. "He's so cute, Deku-nii-chan! Thank you!"

Next, she deposited the plush doll onto a nearby coffee table so she could grab the gift bag. She pulled the figurine box out of the bag with a loud gasp. "It's Rumi-san!" Immediately, her smile grew much wider. "She looks so pretty!"

@nuravity said: Ochako walked up to the small girl with a smile. "Hi, Eri! I have a little birthday present for you. But I want you to close your eyes first." Once she was sure Eri had closed her eyes, she knelt down and revealed two small bracelets made from colorful pearls - one was pink and the other green. "You can open them again. These are two friendship bracelets. You can give one of them to a friend so that you both have one." But there was more. Ochako stepped aside to reveal a small diy bracelet kit. "And with this you can make more yourself so you can give more friends bracelets. We could make one together too! Happy birthday!"

Eri perked up when Uraraka approached her. "Hi, Uraraka-san!" she greeted politely. When she was instructed to close her eyes, she did it without protest.

Once she reopened her eyes, they went wide when she saw the colorful bracelets. "They're so pretty...!" she gasped. She gasped as Uraraka explained the purpose of the bracelets and showed her the diy kit.

@penandswords said: Rima had gotten up early to set it all up. A homemade birthday cake, with an apple motif. Rima didn't bake often, but when she did, aesthetics played a big part in it. Along with the cake was the sweet curry made from Apple, mango, and pineapple. She even went the extra mile to mold the rice into different shapes. "Happy birthday Eri." She chimes in once she spotted Eri, sliding a gift bag to her. Inside was a catzawa plushie she had made.

Eri had been busy coloring in her animals coloring book. Her current page was of a zebra, and she was really proud of it even if she colored the zebra red and green!

She perked up, glancing at Rima as she approached. "Hi, Rima-nee-san!" she greeted as she placed down her crayons.

She took the offered gift bag and reached inside only to pull out the cutest plushie ever. Her eyes widened comically big, and she gasped loudly as she examined the details of the costume. "I-is this Aizawa-tou-san as a cat?!"

Gradually, a giant smile crossed over her face. "He's so cute! I'll guard him with my life!" With emphasis, she squeezed the toy plushie tightly in a hug. "Thank you!"

@erxsxre said: "Happy birthday, kid." There's a suspiciously guitar shaped wrapped present nearby.

Eri perked up with Aizawa spoke to her. "Oh, thank you!" she replied, still unsure of how to react when people told her "happy birthday." It wasn't really a holiday she was used to celebrating at all. After all, she had always been told that her existence was a "curse," so why would they celebrate her birth?

Though, ever since she had come to U.A., everything was different. She felt loved and protected. They always got her to try yummy treats and kept her around people who cared about her as a person rather than as just someone who had a special Quirk.

Recently, she had really come to really admire Jirou and her musical talents due to the talent show. She really wanted to learn how to sing in front of people too!

She glanced around the room and saw the guitar-shaped present stick out. Her eyes widened like flying saucers before she looked up at Aizawa with a loud gasp. "Is that a--?!"

Immediately, she rushed over to it only to jerk to a stop in front of it. She reached out cautiously. "Is this for me?" She was still getting used to the idea of presents that weren't used as forms of bribery.

When she was given the go-ahead, she quickly tore apart the wrapping paper with a glowing excitement. She let out a loud gasp before carefully bringing the gift near her. It was on the smaller end of guitars to suit her size, but it was still almost too big for her height.

As she quietly admired the instrument, her eyes suddenly clouded over with tears and she shook her head hard. "I'm happy... but I don't know why I'm crying--" She raised a hand up to wipe at her eyes. "This is the best present I've ever gotten! Th-thank you, tou-san..."

"...if I get a cake, can it be apple flavored?"
