Personality:

Niji is very friendly when it comes to helping those in need.  She is very loyal to her friends and will do anything to protect them.  She is very loyal to the people of Tokyo City, and believes that everyone should live in peace without the worry of evil and destruction.  She despises criminals for that reason alone, although she can understand why some of them commit the actions that they do.

Although she has been through a lot of heartache and tragedy, she still stays optimistic and tries to keep a positive attitude.  She loves to sing and started a band with her other 7 friends called Symphony.  Due to Uta Incident, however, most people have stated Niji's singing sounds good and positive but it lacks the soul she once produces in her songs.  She blames herself for the Uta Incident, believing if she was stronger, then it would have not occurred.

She loves combat and challenging herself, pushing past the limits she set for herself.  Niji does not like authority or the system of government, believing that sometimes they are the reasons why villains exist.

HISTORY

Kenshiro's job was to study the development of quirks and how they affected society.  His daughter was born with one, which fueled his passion for the study.  His wife died during child birth making him single parent.  He raised Niji with the help of Jeeves, his butler. 

He first discovered Niji's powers when the nurse took her blood on the day she was born.  The nurse stated that there was something in his daughter's blood she couldn't recognize.  Kenshiro begin investigating and examining his daughter's blood and skin tissue.  He discovered that Niji's body could produce rainbow-colored nanobots fully charged with a strange energy that was actively swimming through her bloodstream, giving it a rainbow color.  Also, the nanobots seem to have structure Niji's skeletal and organs into rainbow-metallic substance and threaded her skin with metallic rainbow crystals that can only be seen up close. 

Kenshiro believed that the nanobots itself cybernetically enhanced his daughter. At first, it didn't seem that this was causing any harm, but Kenshiro did label it as a quirk.  He gave it a name known as Rainbow Effect.  Through the first two years of Niji's life, the quirk didn't seem to cause her any problems or do anything else.  That is until she turned three years old. 

She was playing a game with her dad, pretending that she was a knight and he was a big scary dragon.  She was pretending to wield a sword to fight the dragon with.  Her quirk activated and responded to her imagination. The metallic nanobots raced up her arm and created her a real sword.  Her dad was shocked at this development. 

Later that night she developed a high fever.  When her dad examined her blood, he found out that the nanobots were replicating at a high rate and if Niji didn't expel a certain amount, she could overheat causing a high fever.  Her dad created a special device known as the Rainbow Core and surgically attached it to her chest to keep the nanobots at rest while she slept and expel the amount she did not need during the day. This slows down the nanobots' replication process and caused her not to be able to activate her quirk.  He wanted a normal life for his daughter and wanted her to live without any worries.  As she grew, so did the number of nanobots in her body.  However, thanks to the device, it expels the amount Niji didn't need and kept the nanobots in check.

Throughout the years, Kenshiro started to notice that Niji had a talent for singing and was very good at making friends.  Niji and her friends would later go on to make a singing group, at first for fun.  Kenshiro wanted to nourish their talent while still letting them live normal lives.  So with the other parents' permission and help, Kenshiro helped form the girl band Symphony.

For those who are fans of girl bands in Tokyo City would hear of the eight-year-old girl band call Symphony, known for their young age and singing talent. Led by the eight-year-old Niji Ki Uta, the band consisted of seven other members- Moka Aka, Tonya Aoi, Melody Pinku, GiGi Midori, Alisa Shiroi, Ada Murasakino, and Tonya Orenji. The band was popular for being able to sing multiple genres and having raw talent at such a young age. Their parents manage their careers and Niji's father, Kenshiro Uta, funded the group thanks to his work as a scientist for Tokyo City.

Niji had it all.  A father who supported her dreams.  Friends who wanted to sing with her and travel the world after they were done with school.  Even her butler, Jeeves, was like family to her.  There was nothing that could go wrong.

Until one night, when her friends came for a sleepover.  Niji was nine years old and celebrating her birthday with her friends.  Jeeves and the security guard that watch over the place was off for the night.  Kenshiro was working in the lab late when he heard screams from upstairs.  He came up to the room to find the girls tied up and deranged co-worker/scientist who wanted revenge on Kenshiro.  The scientist lost everything due to Kenshiro's studies being chosen over his.  He wanted revenge and he stated that he would take away everything that Kenshiro worked hard for, included his daughter.  Kenshiro tried his best to plead with the man, asking him to let the girls go and he can take everything he had.

The man wasn't satisfied with the answer.  He pulled out a switch and stated that the whole house was rigged with explosives.  That no one was going to leave the mansion alive.  Kenshiro did the only thing he could do.  He ran to his daughter and pressed the button on her pendant.  The man kneed him in the stomach and flip the switch.  As the house exploded, Niji's powers went fully active providing an egg-like shield around her.  She watched and cried in horror as she watched her father, the man, and her seven friends were engulfed by the flames of the explosion while being protected in the shield.  The screams of friends would haunt her for the rest of her life

When the fires were put out and smoke was cleared, what remained was a small girl in an egg-like shield among all the burnt rubble, crying uncontrollably.  Jeeves returned to collect the girl and take her into his care.  Niji didn't speak for three months.  People would come by and tell her that it wasn't her fault.  But deep inside she continued to blame herself.  She came to hate the authorities who treated her loss as though it was a normal accident and seem not to care enough to investigate it.  Later, people referred to that day as the Uta Incident.

After the house was rebuilt, Niji was given her father's will by Jeeves.  He had an extreme amount of wealth and detail studies on how Niji's powers function.  After reading a few of her father's notes, Niji decided that she wanted to stop the evil that has polluted the streets of Tokyo City and make sure no one would have to feel her pain.

The Uta fortune was put the hands of Jeeves, which Niji cannot have access to until she understands the financial responsibility she had or graduated from UA.  Thus, Jeeves is in charge of her financials and assist with providing her with the things she needs until she was ready.

Niji spent the next four years training under Jeeves, who told her he use to serve as a soldier before he became a butler.  She discovered through her father's notes, that she was able to create robotic armor and weapons with just her imagination and her nanobots.  With the notes that she had, Jeeves' extreme training and a newly built Rainbow Core, she was able to use her quirk proficiently. 

She has decided to expand her training more at UA, hoping that she can keep her career as a singer and hero separate.
