BNHA Secondary Gender Headcanons: Class 1-A
Below I’ve listed my secondary gender headcanon for each member of Class 1-A, along with my reasons for putting them there. If you disagree with any of them, feel free to leave a reblog/comment explaining why; I love discussing this topic. The characters are listed in their seating order.
I have also listed my second and third favourite secondary gender headcanon for each character. If the word is crossed out, that means I can’t see them as that gender.
Yuuga Aoyama: Omega
Aoyama’s attention-seeking behaviour and intense care for his own beauty completely strike me as omega traits. He’s also quite sociable, in his own special way.
Beta, Alpha
Ashido Mina: Omega
Mina’s incredibly energetic, and very sociable. She has a tendency to latch onto people when she’s scared, and is super interested in her friend’s love lives. Those all strike me as omega traits.
Alpha, Beta
Asui Tsuyu: Beta
Recovery Girl pointed out to Deku that Tsuyu’s strongest trait was her ability to keep calm in stressful situations and ground her teammates, using the USJ incident as an example. Those are textbook beta personality traits, and the main reasons why I see her as one.
Omega, Alpha
Iida Tenya: Alpha
Iida is one of the most assertive members of Class 1-A. He’s not afraid to tell his classmates when they’re doing something wrong, and even stood up to Present Mic before the entrance exams. He took charge of the stampede in the cafeteria, an act that got him the class presidency. When Tensei was injured by Stain, Iida’s first reaction was to try and avenge him, and as I’ve said in some of my previous posts, I think responding to trauma with rage is an alpha response.
Beta, Omega
Uraraka Ochako: Omega
Ochako is very friendly, along with being bubbly, warm, and an optimist. She was willing to give Deku some of her points in the entrance exam as a thank you for saving her, and is also very family-orientated, as her entire motivation for becoming a hero is her drive to help her parents. She’s also more focused on the helping people part of heroism instead of the combat, as she wants to be a rescue hero.
Alpha, Beta
Ojirou Mashirao: Beta
Ojirou is a very calm person who normally doesn’t take leadership positions. He’s a hardworker, and has a deep set of morals, as seen when he refused his spot in the sports festival. He’s humble and reliable, and most people see him as “plain.”
Alpha, Omega
Kaminari Denki: Omega
Denki is by far one of the most social people in Class 1-A, and is a very energetic person. He’s always worried about his allies in a battle, and will only use his quirk if he’s positive none of them will be injured as collateral. He’s quick to panic in fights, and normally needs someone else’s encouragement to get his confidence back, like he received from Jirou during the USJ incident. His general excitable demeanour completely strikes me as omega.
Beta, Alpha
Kirishima Eijirou: Alpha
He idolizes “manliness,” and will not hesitate to put other people’s safety before his own. In the USJ incident, his first instinct was to try and help his classmates, and he only went after the villains when Bakugou convinced him too. In the final exam, his only plan was to use brute force. The second he learned Bakugou was in danger during the Forest Attack, he tried to go out to protect him. When Bakugou was kidnapped, he didn’t hesitate to decide to rescue him, no matter the risks. In the Overhaul arc, he got sucked into the Rappa fight thanks to his effort to protect Aizawa, and held his own against Rappa out of his desire to protect Fat Gum. Kirishima absolutely screams alpha to me.
Beta, Omega
Kouda Koji: Beta
Kouda is a very meek person, preferring to stay in the shadows and let other people take the reigns, and is quite shy and quiet. He doesn’t have a strong enough personality to be an omega or an alpha in my opinion.
Omega, Alpha
Satou Rikkido: Alpha
In the final exams, his only approach was to attack with brute strength alone, and he has the stereotypical build of an alpha. Unfortunately, because we haven’t seen much of his personality, that’s all I have to back my opinion up.
Beta, Omega
Shoji Mezou: Alpha
During the Forest Attack, he wasn’t willing to leave Tokoyami behind after Dark Shadow took over, even though it was incredibly dangerous. He’s quite protective over his friends, especially when they’re injured. He’s also very thick-skinned, as when people insult him about his appearance, he normally doesn’t react at all.
Beta, Omega
Jirou Kyouka: Alpha
Jirou is normally pretty chilled-out, but she’s more than willing to show people her teeth. If she’s uncomfortable with a situation, she lets people know immediately, usually with an earphone jack to their ear. In the USJ incident, she spoke confidently to the villain as she tried to plug into her boots, even though her plan failed. She took charge in her final exam, giving Kouda the courage to use his quirk. She’s also quite fond of insulting people, usually Kaminari.
Beta, Omega
Sero Hanta: Beta
Sero’s a great team player, as shown in the provincial licensing arc, the joint training arc, and the Heroes Rising movie, willing to put his life on the line for his friends but never taking the leadership position himself. He also has big stoner energy, which I’d associate with betas.
Alpha, Omega
Tokoyami Fumikage: Beta
Like Sero, he’s a great team player, who also doesn’t have a habit of seeking out leadership positions. He’ll take charge of situations if he feels like he needs to, but most of the time, he’s content with sitting back and following the lead of others. He’s definitely one of the most chilled out members of 1-A.
Alpha, Omega
Todoroki Shouto: Alpha
Todoroki’s stoicism, sass, and complete lack of care for other people’s opinions of him all scream alpha to me. As I said with Iida, I see reacting to trauma with rage as an alpha response, and up until the sports festival, he was overflowing with rage at his father. He’s also willing to do drop everything if he thinks his friends are in danger, as shown when Midoriya texted him in the Stain arc.
Omega, Beta
Hagakure Tooru: Omega
Hagakure has similar energy to Mina, in the fact she’s very energetic and incredibly interested in romance, but to an even greater degree.
Beta, Alpha
Bakugou Katsuki: Omega
He has a thin waist (which I’d associate with an omegan body type), is quite dependent on praise, especially from parental/familial figures, is skilled at reading people, enjoys cooking, and he cares about his friends; even if he doesn’t show it. And while I concede that he does show a lot of the alpha traits I pointed out in other characters, I don’t like writing him as one. This one comes down to more of a personal preference.
Alpha, Beta
Midoriya Izuku: Beta
If someone displays both alpha and omega traits, I normally label them as a beta. Midoriya is great with kids and makes strong emotional connections easily, but he’s also a BAMF who goes absolutely FERAL in some fights, as well as being unstoppable once he’s set his mind to something. That mix, along with his general demeanour and analytical habits, make me see him as a beta.
Alpha, Omega
Mineta Minoru: Alpha
Mineta constantly acts like he’s the head of the class, but because he’s such a weak little bitch no one takes him seriously. His entire motivation for becoming a hero is to attract girls, and he acts like he has a right to perv on his female classmates. He’s a textbook “terrible alpha” to me.
Beta, Omega
Yaoyorozu Momo: Alpha
Momo is the vice president of Class 1-A, and one of the class’ main leaders. During the USJ incident, provincial licensing arc, joint training arc, and final exam after she gained her confidence back after her character arc, she took charge of the situation and made the main plan to overcome the challenges presented to her, keeping a level head and instructing the people around her the entire time. Kendou Itsuka, who I also think is an alpha, sees her as her main rival, and Saiko Intelli (another alpha) considered her the greatest threat to her plan. Recovery Girl has pointed out that she’s going to be an amazing leader as a pro hero.
Beta, Omega
