Damn. This was a hard one to pick.

Let me start off by saying both of these OCs are very, very well done. Now, with that aside, let's get down to business.

Harold over Kikimi. Under one key issue on Kikimi's part - the long term effects of cocaine on the body. She's 19, so she'sbeen a Beacon for a while. if she's been doing cocaine since she enrolled, her body would be incredibly deteriorated.

I give this fight to Harold, as much as I want to give it to Kikimi. Kikimi is fast, despite Harold having stamina, strength, and vitality on his side. His lack of semblance and the way he fights leaves him very prone to attacks. If, under some circumstance, Kikimi is cornered by Harold, she can activate her semblance and focus down on Harold's attacks. This plays in even more with his openings and brash way of fighting.

Now, weapons. Harold has two simple broadswords that turn into a single blade. Kikimi has two scimitars, which are lighter - and are infused with white dust (which, by the way, when was that a thing?)  Scimitars might not do has much damage, but are faster and lighter than a broadsword.

If personality was a contest all on its own, Harold would win this. Kikimi, despite thinking killing is fine, might not have the same determination as Harold. I'll be honest, I likened Harold to Naruto's personality here, and his tenacity is something to be respected.

The problem arises with Kikimi's drug use. Knowing the long-term effects of cocaine on someone (see link above), halucination is a major issue here, not to mention the high blood pressure, among many other issues.

Harold would win this fight on the sole purpose of Kikimi's drug use.
