Can you elaborate on dens? Like how alpha Izuku sees his den? Like is he protective like Todo or is he chill like kyoka? And like how about Mina? And how strong do they all scent it?
I think all of Midoriya’s alpha instincts are weak thanks to them being stunted in his youth thanks to a lack of alpha role models he personally knew and none of his peers giving him any leadership opportunities, especially Bakugou who actively overpowered him every chance he got. Thanks to that, his denning instincts aren’t very strong, and are around the same level as Iida’s. I think that’s externally reflected by his den being covered in All Might merch; Midoriya still hasn’t completely come into his identity as an alpha, and is still idolizing the only alpha role model he had as a kid.
Mina would love her den. She’d spend tons of time decorating it, and would want compliments from anyone who sees it, courting or no courting. She’s fine with showing it to other people, mainly to brag (look how much better my den is then yours!), but only friends are allowed inside. She’d definitely be a strong-scenter, and her den would still smell strongly of her even if she hadn’t stepped foot in it for a week.
If anyone wants to know how a character I didn’t describe here would treat their den, feel free to send in an ask!
