You know what I just realized… if the Dabi Todoroki theory is true… then Dabi is the only child who got ALL of Endeavor’s looks. He got the red hair, the eyes, the quirk- everything. He looked like Endeavor the most out of all the kids- even Shouto.
And yeah that’s obvious lol but like,,, imagine what that must mean for his relationship with his mom.
Imagine how hard it must have been for her to be in the same room as the kid who looks like Endeavor, How fear must have entered her eyes for a split second every time she saw him. And as she grew worse she probably couldn’t even stand to look at him or be in the same room, and the older he got the more he looked like Endeavor, and he probably noticed.
How could you NOT notice, and at first he must have been so confused, scared he did something wrong, and goes out of his way to try and make it right, only to notice it’s getting worse.
Imagine the crushing realization he must of had when he realized his mother didn’t like him, that his mother was scared of him.
We know she was close to Shouto, and even tho we don’t know her relationship with the other kids I would assume that she would be closer to the ones who didn’t remind her of Endeavor.
And a little kid would notice that.
What if he grew to hate his looks. The looks that made his mother hate him.
And that’s what made him change his hair color and scar his face and body.
As to not be reminded of the fear in his mother’s eyes every time he looked in a mirror…
It’s just a theory ofc but like, if Dabi is a Todoroki his relationship with his mom would be VERY strained.
