Who Is Lady Nagant?
Without giving away too much about what to expect from the newest character joining the My Hero Academia anime, Lady Nagant is one of the prisoners who was within Tartarus that was able to escape thanks to All For One's big attack on the prison. She is one of the many big foes that Izuku Midoriya and the other heroes will need to face during the course of the now active Tartarus Escapees arc (otherwise known as the "Dark Deku" arc by fans), and opens up some big questions about the actual nature of the Public Safety Commission.

A big thread throughout the sixth season's latest episodes have been how the heroes aren't fully acting in humanity's interests, and with the villains blowing this all up with Dabi's big declaration to the world during the Paranormal Liberation Front War in the first half of the season, now we'll begin to see even more of this fraying of hero society. Lady Nagant is a big reason this pushes forward.
