Question: By "maintains", what do you mean? Does the Abe family own a private prison? Are they rich or well-connected?

Kinda?
The Abe family is very rich and funded the construction of the prison. Shinju’s great-great-grandfather was a very avid hero supporter and felt the need to do his part in protecting society as he himself was Quirkless. So he made plans to build a high-security villain prison. To this day a member of the Abe family possesses the position of the prison director/warden. Currently its Shinju’s grandfather.

Other members of the family are also very likely to work there

Question: What are Shinju, Furo and Shiragiku like when interacting with others? More/less reserved, doting, wary, etc.?

Shinju is reserved and very polite and often doesn’t approach people. She will usually stay formal unless she gets to know someone better. When she knows someone better she is a lot more easy-going and occasionally makes jokes but is never outright goofy.

Furo likes to appear as an authoritative, stoic person to strangers but as soon as people know her just a little bit she drops the act. She is a lot less reserved than Shinju and actually approaches people to start a conversation sometimes.

Shiragiku usually keeps people at a distance. He has some inner issues to work out which he hides under a nice facade and he’s afraid if others find out about that they’ll consider him two-faced or a liar. To get close to him, the other person has to try because he will likely not make an effort

Question: What motivated Shinju and Furo to become heroes? Do either of them have any misgivings about it?

Both Shinju’s and Fuuro’s motivations to become heroes originate (at least partially) from their mothers.

Fuuro wants to be a hero because her mother is also a hero. She admires her mother to an insane degree. She even modelled her hero outfit and hero name/alias after hers. Fuuro has absolutely no misgivings about becoming a hero. Even if she were to realize the extreme level of admiration she has for her mother and stop putting her on such a high pedestal, Fuuro’s lawfulness alone would be enough to keep her in the hero business for as long as she can manage.

Shinju wants to be a hero because she wants to distance herself from her father as far as possible and to appeal to her mother. What better way to signal to her mother that she will never become a villain like her father than becoming a hero? But she is also motivated by her own contempt for her father and her desire to stop all villains before anything like what happened with her mother can happen again.
She doesn’t mind being a hero but if she had grown up with different circumstances she probably wouldn’t have become one

Question: What kind of stuff do Marui, Hokori and Sawaru enjoy doing to wind down? Is there anything they're insecure about?

To wind down Hokori takes a nap or relaxes on the couch watching a movie.
Marui spends a lot of time on the internet, watching whatever is the BnHAverse equivalent of Youtube and Vine.
Sawaru very rarely “winds down”. That boy just needs something to do 24/7. So when there’s really nothing to do he goes out on a jog with his dog Peanut (A Tibetan Mastiff)

Sawaru is pretty confident in everything he can do and even if there’s something he’s not good at he just accepts and doesn’t bother with it any longer.
Hokori is just a big pack of optimism so she’s rarely insecure about anything either.
Marui would most likely be the one to be insecure. Her motivation to become a hero is pretty flimsy and she isn’t the best on an academic level so she is worried that she’s not cut out to be a hero. (But then she remembers that Hokori only wanted to become a hero bc her friend Shinju wanted to become one and she feels a little bit better about her own reasons)

Question: Which of your OCs would you consider the most insecure? And what about the most rebellious?

Shiragiku and Toge are probably the most insecure but Toge deals with her insecurities much better than Shiragiku does.
Sawaru is the most rebellious. That’s not to say that he’s very rebellious, but most of my OCs are just so absolutely not that I’d consider him the most rebellious

Question: What age are the Shiketsu kids? Also, has Fukasu ever lost her prized hat due to shapelessness shenanigans?

Fukasu is about 17/18 and Sawaru and Toge are 16/17. The reason Fukasu is a year older is bc she messed up the Yuuei Entrance Exam but forgot to apply to any other hero school and thus had to try again the next year but then got into Shiketsu instead.

And yes, Fukasu has very often lost her hat. She always tries to keep her clothes with her in a little whirlwind of smoke but a strong enough gust can blow some or all of her clothes away. Luckily she is very good at finding things again!

Question: Was Toge born with her Quirk? And, do your OCs have any funny stories about having theirs manifesting for the first time?

Nope! She manifested her Quirk at the age of 5, before that she had normal hair and teeth.

Toge’s is actually a funny story. She manifested her Quirk during late evening. She was just lying in bed and wanted to roll over to sleep on the side but then her pillow was gone. It was stuck in the spikes on her head and it took her a good 5 minutes of searching her bed to notice the weight of the pillow on her head. She then ran to her fathers to show them “those cool spikes that just grew outta her head” with the pillow still stuck there.

Another funny story is Fukasu who manifested her Quirk on a rather breezy summer day. When her Quirk manifested and her body turned into smoke she was blown straight out of the open window with the next strong gust. Her mother searched for her and found her as a very distressed cloud of smoke hovering ~25m above the ground.

Hoyo’s Quirk manifested practically right after birth, almost giving both her parents a heart attack. Imagine a very curious baby with grabby hands that can freely move in a 2m radius. She was a nightmare to take care of.
