A Certain Magical Index

She is a young eighteen-years-old woman, 170 centimeters in height, [2] with long black hair tied up in a ponytail that reaches her hips. She wears a short white T-shirt tied into a knot at the bottom, revealing her belly button; her dark blue jeans have one pants leg cut off to be very short. She uses a two-meter-long nodachi called "Shichiten Shichitou" as her weapon, it has been stated that her outfit follows the rules of asymmetry, which reinforces a small spell that allows her to balance herself and move herself more freely. [3] She sports a denim jacket over her usual attire in later novels.
She wears a flower patterned yukata when she is at Necessarius' dormitories.

Due to the events in her life as the Supreme Pontiff, and later as a friend of Index, Kanzaki turned into a cold and taciturn woman, always serious, and not in the mood for jokes, the proverbial ice queen. During the fight for Index, Touma asks why she didn't kill him, and the answer is not that she won't but she can't. [4] This extends to divine beings, such as Archangel Gabriel , despite the danger he posed to the world, Kanzaki could only distract him, and wished for Touma to end the Angel Fall, as she could never kill Gabriel. [5]
Her personality gradually changes, as with all the members of Necessarius that have met Touma, showing a kinder side to herself and others after Touma saves Index and helps to confront her past with the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church, feeling more comfortable and grateful to Touma becoming more prone to showing emotion and sometimes showing a little embarrassment with other people, having awkward interactions from her trying to thank Touma for saving the members of the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church on various occasions and Tsuchimikado Motoharu 's attempts to encourage Kanzaki into various cosplay gear for Touma. Outside combat situations she pursues the behavior of a Yamato Nadeshiko, [6] however her manner of speech and demeanor when serious resemble that of a Samurai. She has also been described as innocent when it comes to sexuality, and this is further supported by the fact that she can't really understand most of Tsuchimikado's "make it up to Touma" daring suggestions. [7] Due to her demeanor and long time of residence, she is usually referenced as "the representative of Necessarius dorms" [8] when one is needed. By the statement of "Yamato Nadeshiko", it should be pointed out that the phrase is a Japanese term meaning "personification of an idealized Japanese woman".
She has been shown as being able to calm herself down by putting together a tower of tiles and then break them with a Karate chop while she is regaining her serenity; this is even played out comically as Kanzaki "pulls out the tiles seemingly from nowhere". So far the only character that has stressed her enough so that she is forced to use that soothing method has been Tsuchimikado Motoharu. [9]
Furthermore, as an apparent attribute of magicians, she is very weak with machines as shown when Academy City sends a washing machine which she complains about. [10] This later leads into a comical situation where the Washing Machine goes haywire after Kanzaki punched in random buttons after putting one of her pieces of cloth into it without proper judgment. In another opportunity she displays tender tears of happiness when the washing machine finally works perfectly as instructed, even going as far as hugging the object. This later leads to a running gag with the washing machine when Necessarius had to abandon their dorms and only take with them what was essential, Kanzaki noted that her most prized material possessions were her pet tropical fish and "her friend", a certain washing machine. She made absolutely sure that those two items would be saved even in that dire situation. [11]
Sometimes, Kanzaki can be hypocritical. She was angry at Acqua of the Back for using the full powers of a Saint to attack an innocent high school student because of his duties, even through she did the same thing herself the first time she met the said student.


A Certain Magical Index

Fran is described as a small girl in pajamas with surgical scars on her neck, apparently together with an implant. [5] [6] [7] [8] She has purple eyes and has black hair in a bob-cut with a frontal fringe. [9] [8] [10] She wears a pink pajama hoodie with baggy sleeves, [11] purple lining, carrot-shaped toggles and a Bunny Grey logo on the back, as well as a headband with antennae positioned to resemble rabbit ears and a round rabbit tail antenna on her bottom. [11] [12] [9] [10] During the heat wave, she wears a white bikini with a Bunny Grey design on the left breast and purple sandals. [8] [10] Until certain events on December 12th, underneath her hood, Fran had three pigeon blood rubies embedded in her head. [4]
Fran carries a round, dark grey backpack which is full of radios and other electronic equipment, with various antennae sticking out of it. [7] [8] A name tag is attached to it with her given name written in hiragana. [8] She is frequently seen holding a giant UFO balloon which she uses to float around. [5] [6] [7] The balloon has 'ABDUCTION' written in light purple letters along the rim, and a Bunny Grey logo on the top side. [11] [10]

Not much is known about Fran's personality, but it can be assumed that she possesses at least some of the traits common to the members of the Kamisato Faction.
She has a love for the British mascot, Bunny Grey . [13] [2]


A Certain Magical Index

Hyouka has long dark brown hair and golden colored eyes. Most of her hair reaches down towards her lower-back, but a part of it is tied off to the side of her head and left hanging down. She wears large glasses that seem to lower itself further down her face. She wears a school-designated blazer and skirt, and accenting these is a red necktie. [3] Later in the novels she gains a blue jacket as part of her winter uniform. She also is characterized by her large breasts.

She is gentle, quiet and shy. She has a tendency to tear up easily, and is hesitant in approaching people, most especially Kamijou Touma , due to her subconscious fear of his Imagine Breaker . [4] [1] However, she is a caring person and she has shown to be very loyal to her friends, willing to be hated by them in order to protect them. [5]
She has shown tremendous angst towards the fact that she is not human, but is often told by Touma and shown by Index, that they are friends regardless. [6]


A Certain Magical Index

Kazan'in has light colored waist-length hair. She wears the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform. [1]

As a classist, she is easily provoked by and looks down on anyone who is of a lower status. [1] She is proud, and Hasekura noted that her pride meant she would be unlikely to lie about a commoner getting the better of her. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

He is shown to be a tall man, with blond hair swept back paired with green eyes.

He is shown to be confident in his decisions, and is able to predict who was attacking the research facilities connected to the experiment. Because of his confidence, he seems to be bored, or at least indifferent, to the situation most of the time and even when the situations were dire, he was merely cutting his nails. He has a subtlety that allows him to manipulate people obviously below him like Amai Ao without him knowing.
In spite of this, he is obviously just doing his jobs that his employers has him do. However, he has enough delicacy to stop Misaka 10032 from thanking him for taking care of him, knowing of the history he has with the clones .


A Certain Magical Index

Keshouin Asuka has black hair with a frontal fringe. She wears a largely grey uniform with a white shirt, a red tie with yellow stripes, a V-neck jumper, skirt, long socks and black shoes. She also wears a red bunny ear headband. [2]

She is shown to be shy, with a tendency to cry and turn to Akikawa Mie for support.


A Certain Magical Index

Kessai has dark-colored hair, with an exposed forehead and prominent eyebrows. She wears the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform. [2] [5]

Kessai seems to get along with Mikoto (addressing her as 'Mikoto-chan'), though she is secretly monitoring her for the Hasekura Clique. [2] [5]


A Certain Magical Index

Minori is a tall high school girl, taller than Accelerator. She wears her black hair in a side tail and straight bangs. She presumably wears her high school uniform; a black skirt, white shirt with red ribbon, and a gray cardigan. She has yellow eyes and wears glasses. [1]

She is soft-spoken and is often seen in the sidelines alongside Nakahara Hiromi in a supporting role while Takada Youko do all the work. She is loyal to Youko despite her misgivings with her actions. Still, she cares for both her accomplices. She worried for Hiromi's well-being after he was knocked out while they were on the run and tried to protect Youko from Accelerator himself after her easy defeat despite being scared. [1]
Minori calls Youko Yō-chan ( ヨウちゃん , Yō-chan ? ) and Hiromi Hiro-kun ( ヒロくん , Hiro-kun ? ) . [1] [2]


A Certain Magical Index

Amata is only seen wearing a pair of pants and a jacket over his black shirt which is somewhat similar to Accelerator's black and white shirt. The most of notable of all his clothes is his long white lab coat, which makes him stand out amongst his own forces that wear all black. [1]
He wears his blonde hair short, which compliments his strong facial features, such as his square jaw and cheek bones. Most prominently, Amata has a tattoo on the left side of his face. [1]
Other notable apparel he wears is a pair of machine gloves known as Micromanipulators , used for high precision work. [1]

Kihara Amata thinks little of human lives, especially those of his subordinates, calling them garbage with no human rights, even more so with espers whom he sees as nothing more than guinea pigs. [1] This thinking allows him to kill anyone that he deems useless without remorse, and derives pleasure from taking someone's life; this thought process is comparable to him simply pulling out weeds. [2]
However, because of his very nature, Vento of the Front's Divine Punishment does not affect him, as even with the intent to kill Vento, he shows none of the hostility required for the spell to work. She even describes Kihara Amata as being truly rotten to the core, and is at least similar to her. [2]
Kihara Amata also has a penchant for peppering his dialogue with profanity even in non-hostile situations.
However despite his cold blooded disposition and willingness to immediately resort to killing anyone that remotely annoys him, Amata has shown a level of mercy and self control when dealing with children or his "guinea pigs", as seen during his confrontation with Accelerator , where he stated that the sole reason why he didn't kill him during the latter's childhood having his ability developed under him was due to him being a child and his "precious" research specimen, allowing Amata to tolerate him to a certain degree despite his personality and hold off from killing him numerous times in the past.


A Certain Magical Index

Other than the obvious wheelchair, Byouri's appearance is that of a woman with tea colored wavy hair, tied up in a ponytail. She wears pajamas, as if she was a patient of a hospital. One of the most recognizable characteristic she has is her blank brown eyes, which is often seen nearly covering the entire cornea.

Byouri hides her true nature with a facade befitting with that of a kind and helpless woman. Her true, bloodthirsty nature matches that of a true Kihara, as she has no problem with killing people off, evident in her attack in Baggage City. To complement this trait, she is also terribly devious, capitalizing upon her weak-looking nature. [1]
In her own words, she refers to herself as someone that is good at giving up. She indicates that she has given up on many things, and thus forces others to do the same. [1]
Byouri has implanted herself with Equ.DarkMatter, and thus Kakine Teitoku's presence lingers within her, persistently attempting to reject her consciousness and assume control over her mind. Kagun conjectures that this present threat effectively prevents her from using her power freely. [2]
Byouri's psychopathy and bloodthirst even extends towards her own relatives, as seen where she possessed little to no hesitation in attacking her relative Kihara Enshuu even after she helped her, simply due to the fact she turned her back on her while in mid conversation. It was also revealed that she also holds both contempt and disdain for her two relatives Kihara Kagun and Kihara Nayuta due to their kind hearted natures and their care for others and prioritizing their safety over their scientific advancements, believing that such behaviors to be unbecoming of those born into the Kihara Family . Byouri herself even went as far as hatching a complex scheme resulting in the deaths of several innocent children for the sole sake of forcing Kagun to "Give up" on being a teacher that ultimately ended up being the prime reason for her death at Kagune's hands.


A Certain Magical Index

She seems to be around middle school age, with black hair buns on both the sides. She wears a pink sweater, a miniskirt, and torn black stockings. In her design, she wears her boots asymmetrically. She also carries several devices that hang down from her neck including a cell phone, a small 1seg TV, and a handheld device.

She is constantly trying to prove herself as a Kihara . Enshuu lacks a certain "Kihara-ness" even as a member of that family, stemming from her isolated imprisonment as a child. Even though she cannot perform the multiplication table, write even katakana, much less kanji she is not stupid, but simply was not taught those things. Even without this fundamental knowledge her mind naturally comprehended science from everything around her. Even for a Kihara without having anyone teach her the border between good and evil, she naturally gravitated for the most evil and pure form of it. [2]
Enshuu displays a timid and naïve demeanor that befits her image of a little girl. Her naïveté is carried when she is doing things that might harm and killing people, as if she does not understand the true context of her actions. She is described by the author as something like a robot, as he initially wanted her to be a robot. [3] This may explain her nature, and why she needs to borrow the thought patterns of other people, most especially the other Kiharas to do actions that would create a satisfactory result for her.


A Certain Magical Index

He is a man of advanced age. His height is quite average, though he seems to have a hunch. His most notable feature is that he often has his eyes closed, only rarely opening it when he is excited, as well as a birthmark that can be found on his right temple. Gensei might currently the oldest Kihara introduced in the series, if Kihara Noukan is not older.
Due to his experiences in dangerous experiments, most of his body parts are actually made of mechanical prosthetics, making him a cyborg . [3] [4] [5] This allows him to walk onto the electric trap Shokuhou Misaki laid unscathed. [3]

Typical of a Kihara, Gensei is a sinister figure despite his usually smiling expression; he has no qualms in killing people for the success of his research (even himself, as it was revealed during his second attempt to Level up a Level 5 Esper ), which brings him at odds with Heaven Canceller , whose belief in the Hippocratic Oath clashes with Gensei eagerness to push the boundaries of science . [6] He also admits that his eagerness has resulted in not seeing anything around him when something unexpected happens, and admits that this has caused accidents that have nearly killed him several times. [3]
Perhaps because of this, and the fact that he fits the description the most that he is referred to as a "mad scientist". [6]
An old man with an analytical mind, in the long time he has spent in the Dark Side of Academy City , he has become sensitive to people plotting something. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

Hasuu is a skinny old man with white hair and yellow eyes. He wears a lab coat over a dark blue jumpsuit and a brown jumper, with thick, yellow and black, engineering gloves. [2] [1]

Hasuu's specialist field is android research, and his skill in that field can be seen through his creation of Ladybird . [1]
Hasuu is proficient in hacking and dealing with computer networks, having apparently been involved in building the foundations of the internet, making use of floppy disk-based hardware and emphasizing the value of a single byte in his work. [2] Hasuu also possesses nanodevices known as Parasite Hardware ( 信号寄生 , Shingou Kisei (Parasaitohaadowea) ? , lit. "Signal Parasite") . Poured into a device in the form of a fine powder, the nanodevices directly attach to signals travelling through fiber optic cables in order to move around through a network, being of such miniscule size that the minute amount of force exerted by the light can push and carry them. Due to their nature, they cannot be detected by antivirus software, which are searching for malicious software rather than hardware, and can pass right through their defenses. [2] Although likely not enough to bring down all online services on a network, a full inspection of all hardware with an electronic microscope would be necessary to determine otherwise (with a program auto-search being insufficient), an extremely difficult and time-consuming process. [2]
Hasuu designed some of the equipment which was given to Anti-Skill Aggressors . [2]
Although it wasn't his specialty, Hasuu was able to analyze and reverse-engineer Drencher Kihara Repatri 's artificial ghost technology , [1] [3] allowing him to develop a countermeasure to Frillsand #G in the shape of a pinhole camera, forcing her into contact and conflict with the Vanishing Tunnel and cause a malfunction in the artificial ghost, [1] and also utilize the underlying processes himself to persist after his initial death. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

During the events in Baggage City, he is seen wearing a white coat that covers of his body with a belt tightened around his waist (with the belt buckle bearing a serpent or a dragon), black shoes and gloves, and most notably a white helmet that obscures his identity.
He is a rather tall man, with a lean build, almost androgynous. [3] When his helmet got destroyed, he is seen to have black eyes, and short black hair, which was somewhat spiky, though not to the extent like that of Kamijou Touma or Tatemiya Saiji .

He is a Kihara, as such he has a natural affinity to science and the gravitation towards evil. However, he somehow managed to overcome both of this, becoming a magician , as well as helping the audience of Natural Selector , and other characters. [4] Yet, he is still a Kihara regardless, as he displays his deviousness, having manipulated events in Baggage City as so he can face Kihara Byouri equally, [5] as well as allowing for the events of Radiosonde Castle , and the invasion of Hawaii to take place. Therefore, he is considered to be like the other Kiharas. He is someone who will let nothing get in the way of him achieving his goals, even if he is good. [4]
As a Kihara, he commited experiments related to stopping and starting the heart safely and was considered a genius for it. However, he eventually seemed to develop a conscience through his actions and became a teacher, thus abandoning his role as a researcher and betraying the ideals of a Kihara. After he killed a murderer who was a threat to his students, he realised that the scenario was set up by Kihara Byouri and, despite being acquitted for the crime, he quit his job. Later on, he begins working to bring Byouri down to avenge the person she turned into a killer and he himself killed, convinced that justice was not done until either of them were dead.
He also appears to be aware of Kamijou Touma's existence and has confidence in the fact that people who end up involved with him usually come out of things unharmed no matter how bad the situation gets, which led him to advise the seemingly doomed survivors of Baggage City to seek him out.
It is hinted that he had an intimate relationship with Marian Slingeneyer , his mentor in magic. [6]


A Certain Magical Index

She has blonde hair which she ties in two pigtails, looks like a elementary schoolgirl, and is often seen wearing her red backpack. Her original hair and eye colors had been changed due to the effects of drugs.

She is a little mischievous, manipulative, and competitive, though not to the extent of her relatives. She is also interested in Level 5s and wants to challenge them and surpass them. She is also quite knowledgeable like her relatives, knowing that both Sogiita Gunha and Misaka Mikoto are Level 5 espers. [1]
Also unlike the vast majority of her family, Nayuta is noted to be the polar opposite to them, as she is kind-hearted, empathetic and thoughtful on the welfare of others and refused to use young children for experimentation and only participated in experiments & projects with the assurance of the test subject's safety & welfare and insuring that they willingly gave their consent with full knowledge on the exact details and possible after/side effects the experiments can do to them. These traits have made her somewhat of an outcast with the rest of her family as they disdain her for limiting her scientific advancement for the sake of others. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

He is a golden retriever with arithmetic circuits externally attached to him. [2] He wears a collar and a backpack with robotic arms built into it. [3] [4]

An intellectual and a gentleman, [5] [6] Noukan is one of the few Kiharas to have an understanding of sentimentality and romance , and as such doesn't always take actions that can be dictated by logic and efficiency. [5] [7] [6] He is also one of the few to have an understanding of the realm outside science. Unlike most Kiharas, who generally show little to absolutely no emotional care for others, including their own relatives, Noukan is capable of caring for others, such as his student Kihara Yuiitsu . [1] [5] [7] [6] Noukan tends to class things between "good" and "bad" or "evil", and between "like" and "dislike". [8] [1] [9] [7] [6]
Uncommon for a Kihara, Noukan apparently upholds some code of ethics; this ranges from how one should not waste food to how unneeded sacrifices should be avoided. Despite being a Kihara, Noukan dislikes destruction when it is unnecessary, but is willing to use it when it becomes necessary to do so. He says his dislike for unnecessary destruction is more of a matter with his like and dislike instead of being good and evil. In spite of this, he is aware that he is a horrible individual, and his use of "necessary" destruction gives him a place in the world, [8] perhaps hinting that unlike most Kihara he shows regret with regards to having to stain his hands in the past.
Noukan has a strong resolve to follow the path that the original Kiharas and their will, intending to live and die in the current world while walking along this path and would never be swayed from it by the 'salvation' offered by ones who can only rely on the supernatural. As such, he lacks the conflicting desires required to be targeted by World Rejecter . [6]


A Certain Magical Index

Ransuu appears as a lean young man. He wears a red and blue track suit with small metallic nodes attach all around it with matching gloves, which looks similar to that of a motion capture suit. He wears sunglasses, and has wavy blond hair. His most prominent feature is his face itself, showing a seemingly perpetual sneer and demeaning look on his face with his beady eyes, which is similar to Kihara Amata . According to Haimura Kiyotaka , he designed Ransuu with that similarity in mind.

Like many other Kiharas, he has the natural affinity towards science and cruelty. He is shown to be deceptive, a complement to his powers, and what's more, incredibly sadistic and cruel, and has no objections to killing large numbers of people. However, he is surprisingly referred to as the most sane Kihara to have appeared during the Baggage City Arc , and is described as someone who would easily understand people. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Souji is only seen wearing a pair of black pants, a lab coat with black sleeves over his black shirt, a pair of black gloves, and black shoes. He has short ashy grey hair [4] and some piercings on right ear.

At first glance Souji is shown as a sociable young man with a frivolous and cheerful character. [ citation needed ] He is quite eccentric, drinking juice and starting a monologue about substitutes in products in the middle of a conversation with an opponent or singing in expectation of the experiment. [2]
Like most members of the Kihara Family , he tends to neglect human lives, which allows him to commit immoral acts against his subordinates and test subjects. [ citation needed ] He no doubt brainwashed the members of DA and Yuzuriha Ringo without worrying about their mental health. [2] He also didn't worry about the fact that they could get serious injuries, assuming that he could simply replace damaged and lost body parts with high-tech bionic prostheses of his own production. [ citation needed ] He has a pride as a researcher, in moments when someone insults his research and his intelligence, the darker side of his personality manifests itself, making him more calm and aggressive. [3]
He is easily interested in the unusual abilities that Kakine Teitoku showed during the battle with Yuzuriha Ringo . [3] In an attempt to explore the full potential of the Level Five and Dark Matter, he continued to analyze phenomena despite the load on his brain until he lost consciousness after reaching his limit. [3] Subsequently, even despite his defeat and previous experience of collision, he wanted to see Dark Matter in action again and, having accepted the attack splitting his body to sand, continued to analyze the process until his death. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

Kii has brown eyes and long, wavy light-brown hair. [2] Being a Tokiwadai student, she wears the school's uniform.

Like other members of her clique, Kii is loyal to their "Queen", Shokuhou Misaki . [3] [4] [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Saiai is a young girl of 12 [1] with short brown hair in a bobcut. [2]
In Toaru Majutsu no Index she wears a fluffy knit dress, a sweater dress to be exact. She wears no legwear other than striped socks, exposing her thighs and legs. According to Hamazura Shiage's assumption, Saiai may have calculated that the length of her sweater would expose enough of her thighs and legs but not to the point that her butt and panties will be exposed even if she were to bend over. Saiai later references the phenomenon while bending over, giving credence to Shiage's assumption. [2]
In Toaru Kagaku no Railgun , she is seen more modestly, wearing an orange hoodie and hot pants. [Notes 1] [3]

Despite being a powerful esper, Saiai is one of the most mellowed-out characters in Item; she isn't a screw-up like Frenda , nor is she as frightful as her leader, Mugino. She enjoys C and B movies [1] [4] and likes to tease others, Shiage in particular because of his reaction to anything sexually suggestive. She is also described as being very eccentric. [1] Despite this, she is still quite serious and dangerous during a mission, having a much more subdued mien than Mugino or Frenda, Item's other combatants. She is also described as obedient-looking, a contrast to her playful personality when out of missions. [1]
She also likes to add "super" (超, chou ) to her remarks. The Funimation subtitles translate chou as "ultra". [5] It is likely due to her brain being inserted with Accelerator's thought patterns, who has a penchant in swearing, during the Dark May Project that this verbal tic may have arose, replacing an expletive with the word "super". This is somewhat backed up by the experiment modifying the subject's personality when inserting Accelerator's thought patterns. [6] Moreover, it is backed up by Accelerator himself who noticed his manner of speaking with Kuroyoru Umidori , another subject in thought pattern modification in the Dark May Project. [7]


A Certain Magical Index

Kirara has long dark-colored waist-length hair. She wears a maid attire because she's a student at Ryouran Maid School. [2] [3]

She is loyal to her master, Gaouin Tsukasa. [2] [3]


A Certain Magical Index

She appears as a young middle school girl with a slender body frame, making her seem boyish in appearance. Complementing this is light colored hair that is bobbed cut.

As to be expected of a girl going to Tokiwadai Middle School, she has a lofty attitude, and have a somewhat teasing demeanor, even on fellow Tokiwadai students. Although, she has shown concern when her trickery has gone too far. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Most of her appearances depict her having long wavy brown hair (which was shorter a considerable amount of time before the start of the series) and her most striking feature: bags under her eyes (which is the result of intense research in trying to revive her students). She is often seen in a white long-sleeved shirt and a brown pencil skirt and always wears a long white coat which scientists usually wear inside the laboratory. Later appearances gave her a suit to wear instead.

Harumi acts too logically and lacks common sense, which is demonstrated when she stripped in front of others without thinking about it, a result of her years being a researcher. In Toaru Kagaku no Railgun , she is revealed to be the source of one of three urban legends popularized by different Web forums within Academy City, the urban legend of the "Stripping Woman". [2] She is shown to have low self-esteem about her body, justifying stripping in public by saying that no man would care about seeing her body.
Originally, having difficulty with children, her experiences after becoming a teacher to Child Errors . Although she is kind and considerate in people in general, she is fiercely loyal to her students, willing to make Academy City her enemy, [3] make use of weak espers , as well as willingly cause destructive Poltergeist phenomena for their sake. [4] In the last story arc of Railgun , she is seen to be usually downcast, putting herself to blame for what happened to her own students. She manages to take refuge to Misaka Mikoto's dedication to help others (and once noted that they share similar ideals) and Uiharu Kazari's eagerness to help her student Edasaki Banri . [4]
The bags under her eyes are a direct consequence of Harumi's intense dedication to her work as a researcher and the lack of sleep.


A Certain Magical Index

The Knight Leader is a tall blond man with blue eyes. He wears his hair short with fringes, and has it parted in the middle. He is always seen wearing suits with a wainscot and what appears to be a cravat or an ascot instead of a tie. In this regard, he is somewhat similar in appearance to Mark Space , another British magician.

He can be described as a gentleman, befitting his status as a noble and a knight. Indeed, he is referenced as "exuding elegance". [2] He is shown courting Kanzaki Kaori and bringing a bouquet flowers for her in order to invite her to a ball. [3] He is well-versed in British manners as well as being very chivalrous, teaching the former to Kanzaki after she asked and for the latter telling Kanzaki of high-class parties where Kanzaki won't be harassed by men. [1] In spite of this, he can also indulge himself once in a while as well. He likes to drink, [4] and has confessed to Kanzaki that as a British gentleman it would be a lie if he was to say he isn't interested in erotica and maids , though says he draws the line on fallen angels. [1]
He takes his job seriously, though he also loves his country. It is shown that he would break the rules or even betray his duties if what he does is for the sake of his country. An example of this is him willing to follow William Orwell to fight the Spanish Astrological Sect during the Princess Villian hostage crisis , and break the deal between the French and England in handling the crisis. [2] And this part of him is exemplified in his betrayal of the Queen Elizard for Carissa and his willingness to kill Princess Villian. Though there are limits even to this, as he has shown reluctance to Carissa killing civilians like the servants that let Villian go as well as the fact that he has one of them send for Acqua of the Back in order for someone to stop him and Carissa. [5]


A Certain Magical Index

Kobayashi is a young girl with an appearance befitting that of a normal middle school girl. She has light brown hair in a bob cut with blunt bangs.

Her personality is described as "leader-quality". She has a certain wily attitude despite her calm face, as she used her powers to keep an eye on Mikoto. [4] She is scared of bugs, especially spiders. [2] In spite of this, she recognizes other people's leadership qualities as well, as seen when she notes that Hokaze Junko is now the center of the clique after Misaki's abduction by Yumiya Iruka, encouraging her to take command and following her orders. [5]


A Certain Magical Index

Kokuchou has medium-length hair (of a medium shade), slightly parted in the center of her forehead and with two frontal braids, one on either side of her face. Being a Tokiwadai student, she wears the school's uniform. [3]

Kokuchou is described by Iori Mashiro as having a 'fantasy brain', expressing a like of sweet things and advocating a friendly talk over rushing into a dangerous course of action. [3] Iori referred to this as a goody-goody act, [3] with a darker side to her being glimpsed by Mei and Kii . [5] Like most of the other election candidates, Kokuchou was not willing to give up on her bid for student council presidency and support another's bid for the sake of stopping another one of her rivals. [3]

Kokuchou with the Relic.

At least part of her darker side at the time of the election was due to her possession of one of the Relics, [5] [6] [7] [1] which was exerting an influence over her, [6] [7] [1] with the unusual part noticed and discussed by Iori Mashiro and Tatsuki Mirei . [6]
Behind her facade, Kokuchou is deceptive and manipulative, considering her clique members throw-away pawns and quite willing to "use them up" or get rid of ones she deems useless. [4]


A Certain Magical Index

Komaba Ritoku has been described as a gorilla-like person. He was pretty large and had a body built like a tank. He wears a black leather jacket and pants.

As a leader, he was respected by all of Skill-Out as good person who cares about his friends and subordinates. He was an honorable person in general, forbidding all members to have any connections with prostitution, a method Musujime Awaki said would have been the fastest way to gather funds without having to rob banks; even the targets picked out by Ritoku are only those who actively misuse their power on Level 0's, unlike factions such as ' Big Spider ' who attack espers indiscriminately.

Her most distinguishing feature is her prominent forehead which is flanked by two fringes of her black hair which is rather long and kept neatly. Kongou has an attractive and well endowed figure, which she proudly flaunts and shows off in revealing swimwear when she is able to. She almost always appears carrying around her fan. According to Ogino Kentarou , Kongou's bust size is 84. [1]

She is proud of herself most of the time despite being newly transferred and possesses traits of a real ojou-sama , unlike Misaka Mikoto who is the complete opposite, because of this personality she is often at odds with Shirai Kuroko (who wishes she wasn't acquainted with). Because of this personality however, she is completely unaware of common everyday things such as finding directions or how to use the proper tool for foodstuffs.
She often embellishes the truth for her own convenience and will try to stretch the truth until she can no longer keep up the facade, this was shown in episode 13 of the Railgun anime where she lies to her friends that she can cook curry wherein fact she didn't know how. Despite this she is an honorable and decent girl who looks out for her friends, is kind to children, and is willing to help people in need. This is displayed in episode 23 of the Railgun anime where she helps Mikoto after she was defeated by Therestina. She comes to her self-proclaimed rival/friend's aid a second time in episode 24 and fought by her rival Kuroko's side to buy Mikoto time to help Professor Kiyama save her students. During this battle, she and Kuroko come to grudgingly respect each other as warriors.
She also tends to warn her opponents by reminding them who she is and is confident of her own abilities. It is also worth noting that just like Kuroko, Kongou is "very" frank about her sexuality and loves to flaunt and show off her well-proportioned body; though in her case its justified by her part-time career as a swimwear model.
Her lofty attitude, however, is shown in a much lower degree in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga shortly after her debut. Later in the latter half of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun S , Kongou's personality takes a dramatic turn, most likely to make Kongou's personality closer to her manga counterpart. Here, though she is still overconfident and boastful, she is now somehow more shy, helpful, and eagerly craving for more friends and to please them. Her animosity with Kuroko has disappeared, making Kuroko's animosity towards Kongou completely one-sided.

In her first encounter with Ruri, Konoe had unkempt dark hair and heavy-lidded eyes. [1]

At some point in the past, she was adopted by the Takebayashi Family alongside multiple others, to be sent to Academy City with the goal of at least one adoptee entering Tokiwadai and obtaining the school's Majesty title (and the alleged position on the Board of Directors it was supposed to promise). Her level wasn't high enough to meet Tokiwadai's minimum requirement, Level 3. After the Tanrei Chemicals incident and Takebayashi Yayoi 's arrest, the Takebayashi family went bankrupt and she was taken in by a branch family, her name being changed from Takebayashi Nagisa to Konoe Nagisa. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Konori has short black hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses. She has a red leather jacket that she wears from time to time. Her measurements are B85-W60-H81. [1] [2] She is 163cm tall, and weighs 50kg. [3]

Konori displays a responsible and motherly maturity rarely found in girls of her age; an attribute that earned her station of leadership in the 177th Judgement Branch and the universal respect of her juniors, to whom she is a lovingly-kind and reliable big-sister. That said, she is still a teenage girl who shows a warmly mischievous streak when at ease, and can be just as tender-hearted and vulnerable as any 16 year old girl when it comes to matters of love.
She enjoys Musashino milk , a trait which she has adopted from Big Spider leader Kurozuma Wataru , and she says that it is the reason why her breasts are large. [4] She displays an obvious affection to Kurozuma Wataru. She is also very fond of designer bags. [5]


A Certain Magical Index

He is a tall and slender bespectacled male having light brown hair. The brown hair is combed and parts at the left side of his head. The fringes are styled to complement this and are combed away from each other. He wears rectangular glasses, and is often seen wearing a lab coat over his uniform of sorts, which consists of a buttoned-up collared shirt and pants, both blue-green in color. Kosaka Shunichi's physique seems appropriate to his interests — slim and lacking any muscle — that may suggest a lack of exposure to strenuous physical activity.

Like the other members of STUDY , Shunichi displays a strong desire to show Academy City their power. In doing so, Shunichi is just as willing to sacrifice Febrie , if it means furthering their goal just, as any other member of STUDY, with the exception of the newcomer Nunotaba Shinobu .


A Certain Magical Index

He is a hefty young man who sports a bowl cut. [1] [2]


A Certain Magical Index

He is a slender young man with black hair. [1]

He has an aloof and taciturn personality, making him difficult to approach. He also displayed a tendency to ignore authority figures. However, he is a nice person once someone gets to know him. He enjoys play video games like Gekisho , and is capable of mastering one of it's characters in a relatively short amount of time. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

He is a boy with brown hair. In his cameo appearance in the Toaru Majutsu no Index anime, he wears a colored sleeveless shirt over his white one. He also wears shorts. [1] However, in his appearance in the novels and in the Toaru Majutsu no Index Manga he wears the same outfit, a red jacket over his shirt. He is described as short. [2]

Not much separates him from his comrades. In spite of his age however, he shares the perverted tendencies of the male Amakasu Christians. In his speech he abbreviates the copula "desu" to "su".


A Certain Magical Index

Kouzaku is a girl of roughly Mikoto's age, with purple-colored hair styled into twin tails and purple-colored eyes. When she was younger she wore her hair short, and that fell down on both sides of her head.
While working with Kihara Gensei and acting as Member 's liaison, she wore an outfit resembling a pink nurse's uniform, modified to contain elements of punk fashion, particularly skull-themed accessories. The reason for her cosplaying as a nurse was to better act as Member's liaison, as it was her hobby. [3] She also wore a pair of dark-colored hosiery and pink pumps. Occasionally she could be seen wearing a hood that concealed much of her outfit, and an accessory she often kept with her was a short whip called a riding crop.
Following her reunion with Dolly and working together with Shokuhou Misaki , Kouzaku often wears a black open blazer with a white under-shirt, a white skirt, white long socks and dark shoes. [4] [5] [6]

Despite belonging to the dark side of Academy City , Kouzaku possesses a rather cheerful personality and a tendency to find time to be happy despite of her exposure to sinister environments, which is a testament to her sizable experience in the dark side. In fact, she considers those who are able to live peaceful lives in Academy City as "oddities". [7] Though her cheerful demeanor was mostly an act that she put up for the researchers she worked with to develop powers, believing the best way to do well was to put up the facade for them, she did develop genuine feelings for Dolly, which led to her desire for revenge at the pain and suffering that she was put through for the sake of being a prototype experiment with no regard for her well being. [8]


A Certain Magical Index

He is a boy of about 15, so slender that he almost has an effeminate appearance that rivals that of Vasilisa. He appears out of place in the majestic outfit of the patriarch which makes him look more like a small child who had put on his father’s suit rather than the leader of one of the three great Christian Churches.

Despite being a child, Krans has the diplomatic, political, and charismatic skills to be a Patriarch of the Russian Orthodox Church. However, as he is a child, he still has childish qualities, which most often times rises up to the surface when it comes with the antics of his subordinates Sasha and Vasilisa. In fact, Vasilisa calls him "pure" and does the dirty work for him to preserve it. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Hibiki appears as a young girl that wears a large headset on her person, which is presumably connected to a device. She has black hair and brown eyes. She wears an oversized yellow coat, where she probably keeps the aforementioned device, over a pink shirt. She wears blue shorts that somewhat resembles hot pants, showing a considerable amount of her thighs. Finally, she wears black socks, and black boots.

Hibiki describes herself as the type who will take up a fight with the one who is picking on her, and apparently has no compunctions on killing someone if she does out of the fight. Although, she is described as having a normally bright and frank personality, she grows very wild and violent when a fire is lit in her heart. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Kumamori has short, medium-shaded hair, with bangs cut short. Being a Tokiwadai student, she wears the school's uniform, with a dark bear-themed hoodie on top. She also wears a light-colored face mask. [1]

Kumamori displayed a degree of disinterest in the candidate meeting, being more focused on her puzzle cube. When it was disintegrated by Kamino because of this, she merely produced another one, with Tatsuki considering her a 'troll'. [1] She expressed slight embarrassment at having cut her bangs too short. [1] She wanted no part of the other candidates' proposed joint assault and walked out, but also did not stop them, and had not given up herself. [1] Like most of the other election candidates, Kumamori was not willing to give up on her bid for student council presidency and support another's bid for the sake of stopping another one of her rivals. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

She has long black hair in ringlet curls and a moderate chest size. Her maid outfit has the appearance of a certain electronics street with a fluorescent yellow based color. The outfit itself had a mini-skirt, black thigh-high socks, frills a nameplate in the shape of a rabbit attached to her skirt, and a black corset. [2]

She is cheerful, confident and prideful due to her abilities and talent as a maid are superior. Her goal is to find and service an incompetent and stupid master; to do this she works her pride to be damaged to a level where it will not break. [1]
She also has a strong sense of justice, helping people who are a threat to her life, [3] not allowing Oumi Shuri to kill people, [4] and even merely subdued Kihara Enshuu even after all she had done to her. [5] She is referenced as someone similar to her sister, as someone who could not do not do anything to prevent terrible things from happening despite knowing about it. [6]
Furthermore, she is greatly acquainted with scientific principles, analytic, and is pragmatic, allowing her to solve situations without needing any special powers or assistance. For example: using her maid outfit to cause a dust explosion, [3] as well as using a blow-dryer to destroy "bugs". [7] She is also determined, going all the way from Academy City to Baggage City just to find a single person. Moreover, she has one of the best grades in her school, and the narrative states her as a transcendent genius. [1]
She has no problem in showing off her skin to other women if the situation calls for it, [7] or use her bare thighs to subdue enemies. [4]
Her behavior in the 4th NT novel makes her the funny man to Shuri's straightman, like a comedy duo.


A Certain Magical Index

She is called a “beauty senpai” by her kouhai students as a tribute to her attractive looks, [5] which feature shoulder-length black hair, fringe tied back, and a fine body with an exceedingly ample bosom.
She commonly wears a school-issued sailor uniform with its standard skirt changed for a “defensive” long one. Her navel is readily observable in the gap between her blouse and skirt. She is smart and athletic, and looks so accordingly.
She supposedly needn't worry about money, only needing red tea to go along with cake. Although an adolescent, she could taste the difference between brandy's; she even wouldn't look out of place should she drive around in a sports car. Of course, the latter descriptions were just an impression others would get when they look at all.

She is considered to be a very manipulative and calculating person who thinks of the big picture many times; however, she is not above abusing this intelligence for her amusement in regards for rather peculiar sense of humor, especially when it comes to pranking Touma. One time she gave Touma a notebook, where he was tricked to think it would teach him actual hypnotism, where the instructions included having the hypnotized girl lift up her skirt. Shokuhou Misaki , the test subject of Touma’s first failed hypnotism attempt, noted on how the notebook had instructions that was obviously in many obscene direction. The last direction, which involved undoing the hypnotism, required the removal of the girl’s panties where Misaki then hit Touma upon hearing the direction; considering her intelligence, Seria had likely knew the outcome, beforehand, had Touma actually succeeded in getting a volunteer. [6]
Often than not, people whom she works with feel she is a force to be reckoned with. At other times she can be seen as aloof or arrogant in her manners (something which got Fukiyose Seiri very angry). She seems to enjoy teasing people at times, as Kamijou Touma experienced himself, [3] and once saying that Seiri copied her looks. [5]
While she can be ruthless, she is a good person and tries her best to stop the tragedies she knows about, like when she had the gemstones rescued, [7] and regrets when she couldn't stop them, like when she thought Touma died in World War III . [8] Seria has also shown to have a deep emotional attachment to Kamijou Touma, especially when she had heard about his supposed death; during that time, Seria was noted to had became lethargic and regretful to know that neither she, nor the director Tsugutoshi , could help out Touma despite the fact they had power. This is further shown as Misaki, while Seria initially kept a wary guard from the sudden visit of Mental Out, had asked for help in regards to her confused memories related to Touma thus made Seria decided to drop all suspicions and decided to assist Misaki. Humorously, she later admitted her romantic feelings about Touma as Misaki questioned Seria if, in regards to her confused memories, this was all a ploy to keep Touma all for herself; while Seria did deny the accusation, she audibly pondered on Misaki's unintended suggestion as the idea had never occurred to her and it was indeed a drastic action that Seria could have done.


A Certain Magical Index

Kuriba Ryouko has vertically striped hair, alternating between light and dark from a dark stripe at the middle of her frontal fringe. [4] [1] She has yellow eyes, and a darker section across the right side of her face from when she was split apart. She primarily wears an outfit consisting of a lab coat over a school uniform, both primarily black and white. [5] [4]
While working alone in her room, she wears swirly glasses. [6]

Kuriba displays a reluctance to get other people involved in her affairs. [7] She is devoted to finding a way to save her mother, volunteering to being split in two as part of the cyborg experiment to gather data to accomplish her goal. [8] She also does not seem to put much value on her life, saying as such with her goal having been fulfilled when facing the doppelganger and being willing to give up her own soul or life to satisfy it. [8] [9] [10]
Kuriba has a tendency to accept sacrifice as a necessary condition to achieve something, such as spreading the Indian Poker to solve the doppelganger problem despite knowing it would cause chaos, [7] [11] and not making an exception with regards to her own life in negotiations with her doppelganger. [10] [11] The doppelganger, who inherited this trait, noted that she was a person who couldn't accomplish anything without doing so. [11]


A Certain Magical Index

The doppelganger's face is mostly identical to the original Kuriba Ryouko, with vertically striped hair, alternating between light and dark from a dark stripe at the middle of her frontal fringe. [10] [3] There is a slight shade difference across her face, likely acquired during separation. [4] Below her neck, her body's mechanical nature is more apparent with exposed joints and a set of panels opening onto a hole on her back. [4]
Following her escape, the doppelganger acquired a black and pink patient gown and artificial skin to cover up her mechanical parts. [5] [6] [11]
After the doppelganger assimilated an enormous amount of material after her container was breached, her appearance changed slightly, acquiring the darker skin over the entire body and completely white hair, as well as a dress made from pale threads. [12] [2]

It isn't known how much of the original Kuriba Ryouko's personality is shared by the doppelganger. After learning her true nature, the doppelganger displayed a tendency for speculative talk regarding her nature as a fake compared to normal people, the body and the soul, particularly when harming others. She also showed no compunctions about severely harming anyone in her way or causing massive destruction in pursuit of her goals. [5] [6] [13] [12] [7] [8] The doppelganger stated that she wished to eliminate all threats to her existence and sought to kill her creator. [12] [9]

The doppelganger recalls her despair

With the matter of the doppelganger's soul in doubt, Misaka Mikoto theorized that her despair might not just be from realizing she wasn't human, but from confirming that she didn't have a soul. [2] [9] The doppelganger later confirmed that her plan was to destroy herself along with any data and means which could recreate her, intending to trigger Academy City's defense systems to shoot her and the data storage airship down, seeing as she couldn't commit suicide herself. [1] [14] After Mikoto reluctantly fulfilled her wishes, she thanked her and described her destruction as being the same as throwing out a broken appliance. [1] [14]
Much like her original, the doppelganger accepted sacrifice as a necessary condition to achieve something, that being the reason she tried to terminate her original rather than a grudge. [15]


A Certain Magical Index

Her appearance is that of a Loli-Goth, a white coat, and has black hair and yellow dye on the ends of her bangs, similar to Lessar's hairstyle, she usually wears a trench coat and is around 12 years of age. [1] It should be noted that Kuroyoru's artificial arms are not "set" permanently into her, but instead are attachable parts which she connects to her back and controls at will, during her fight with Saiai she attached what was described as roughly "Hundreds, thousands of them". [2]

She looks down on others as evident with her conversation with Kinuhata Saiai and treats anyone as disposable things. Accelerator remarked that talking to her was like having a conversation with his "old" self; despite this, she is fundamentally a 12 year old child and notably cried as Misaka Worst was going to modify her with cat ear parts during their time in Hawaii . She has a liking to stuffed doll dolphins and is always seen carrying one. [3] As she unofficially becomes part of the Kamijou Faction, like Accelerator, Umidori becomes more of a better person.


A Certain Magical Index

He is a tall, muscular man with wavy red hair and sports a black leather jacket. Though hidden, his most distinguishing feature is a large spider tattoo on the right side of his back. Despite his violent background, he has a warm and kind pair of eyes and an infectiously positive smile. [1]

He enjoys drinking Musashino milk and has a catchphrase referring to it. [1] He is kind-hearted and considerate, as exemplified when he allowed Mii to stay with his gang despite finding out about her having an esper ability, and he is shown to help people in need despite the consequences to himself. [2] He also hates people who pick on females. [1]


A Certain Magical Index

Kuruwa has black hair with some brown around the bangs with ornate hairpins of various colors with beads in them. She has a lace glove on one arm and glittering nail art on both hands. She wears a type of sandals with thin straps stretched up to around her knees, along with a piece of metal shackle around one ankle.
She wears bright yellow mini-yukata and her dazzling thighs are completely bared and the left arm is sleeveless up to the shoulder for some reason. The wide obi is made of a transparent material and the yukata itself bares her midriff to match. She has two thin leather belts wrapped around over the obi and, on top of all that, she uses a long chain as a decoration. [2]

Kuruwa can be described as being ditzy, especially when it comes to ninja things, becoming nervous when her authenticity as a ninja comes into question. [2] In spite of this, she is serious in her goal and is even willing to bear Hanzou's children if it meant restoring the "pure lines" of the ninjas, the Hattori and Iga clans, [3] though her willingness to even die for this goal is also not how a ninja traditionally acts, and is more akin to the samurai bushido code. [3]
She has a polite way of speaking, and adds honorifics to the end of a person's name, like Hamazura-shi [2] and Hanzou-sama. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

She has brown hair which she keeps in a ponytail, and two fringes which rests between by a black hairband. She wears a round spectacles, and has fierce eyes. She is taller than Eiga.

Cold and calculative, she is a no non-sense superior to Eiga, seeing the human clones as nothing more than necessary pieces in the experiment .

She has long black hair, but her most striking feature is her sanpaku eyes.


A Certain Magical Index

Kyougoku has dark hair in a slicked back undercut , with a moustache and exposed forehead. He wears square framed glasses and a dark-colored uniform. [1]

He has a high opinion of not only himself but also the facility he directs, and it is his arrogance that had him start the Jailbreak competition, believing that no esper, not even a Level 5 , can complete the trial. [1] He is also vain, designing robots that have his face stuck on them. [2] However, he has shown that he does cares for children in the facility by refusing an offer from an unknown company for money in exchange for high level espers for experimentation. [3]


A Certain Magical Index

Ladybird has the appearance of a 13 or 14 year old girl. She has long bright red hair, [1] [2] and red mechanical eyes, which sometimes display images. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] She is barefooted and wears something like a racing swimsuit, with an orange and black coloration resembling that of her namesake , as well as several belts around her thighs. [1] [2]

During Operation Handcuffs on December 25th/Christmas, when Kihara Hasuu was captured by Anti-Skill before they could hijack a vehicle, Ladybird used the prison transport to bypass checkpoints before breaking Hasuu out at School District 1 's general station. The two then proceeded towards the station's communication control box so Hasuu could infect and bring down Anti-Skill's network, with Ladybird killing any Anti-Skill officers and Anti-Skill Aggressors in their way. [9]
Seeking the counterfeiter Perfect Film in order to acquire a counterfeit passport, the two went to School District 6 , where Ladybird slaughtered Vacuum Piece 's group, decapitating him after he had confirmed that their target was up ahead. After disposing of the corpses, [9] Ladybird kept an eye out for other people who were also after their target with instructions to kill. [9] [3] He spotted and attacked Hamazura Shiage and Takitsubo Rikou who were after a fake ID as well, and Benizome Jellyfish , who was after a scoop. [3] After Benizome stunned Takitsubo in order to escape while Ladybird focused on the weaker target and get her pictures, Ladybird was prevented from killing the two by Frillsand #G who interfered with her sensors and caused her to lose track of them, acquiring a minor head wound as a result. [3]
When the counterfeiter was killed before they could obtain a counterfeit passport, Ladybird accompanied Hasuu as they returned to his hidden lab in the trash piles of south School District 23 and had maintenance performed on her. [4] She later attacked Hamazura and Takitsubo, after they discovered the lab and were using its equipment to decrypt Perfect Film's hard-drive, but was forced to retreat after a mortally wounded Vivana Oniguma interfered. [5]
Ladybird and Hasuu arrived at the Vanishing Tunnel after Frillsand's slaughter of those heading for the escape route and as the ghost was about to kill Hamazura and Takitsubo. [6] Once Hasuu managed to neutralize Frillsand, [6] Ladybird killed Drencher Kihara Repatri by deflecting his bullet when he fired on them in defense of the Child Errors with him. [10] [11] Ladybird subsequently fought Hamazura, who was supported by Aneri , while also wondering why Hasuu wanted the children and how she had used a different esper power than before. [12] [13]
As she hit her limit, she was horrified to learn of her brain-devouring nature from Hasuu, having previously believed that his work in creating her would mean children would no longer be sacrificed for esper development research. [14] Overcome by the hunger for a brain, Ladybird targeted the nearby children, while Hamazura fought to stop her. [15] [16] Eventually, he managed to use a smokescreen to trick her into mistaking a gas drum he had put clothes on for one of the children, and shot it when it was taken into her back. [16] [17] [18] [19] The resulting explosion destroyed Ladybird, whose decapitated head appeared to be smiling, as she would never have to kill again. [19]

Post-Handcuffs Arc [ ]

Main article: Post-Handcuffs Arc

This section requires expansion GT5 Ch2 [20]

On December 29th, information on Ladybird and the android technology involved in her creation was brought up and sought after by the group consisting of Kamijou Touma , Shirai Kuroko and Hanatsuyu Youen , in the sequence of events following the Overhunting crash and prisoner escape which were being affected by the unique magic of Alice Anotherbible , who was accompanying Touma. [20]
Later on, during the battle with the ghost of Kihara Hasuu in the Vanishing Tunnel to save Risako , a heavily injured Touma encountered Ladybird's broken remains and contacted Melzabeth Grocery for help in wiring her back up. [21] [22] With Melzabeth's help, Ladybird was fixed and reactivated, being wirelessly connected to the Logistic Hornet 's unused autonomous optical neurocomputer in place of her original cellulose nanofiber brain, freeing her from the need to consume the brains of others. [7] She subsequently joined the battle against her creator, voicing her new reason for standing up to fight and finding who she wanted to be, regardless of her creator's sneering, earning her praise from the nearby Kihara Noukan . [7] When Hasuu voiced confusion as to how she was functioning so well, Melzabeth spoke through Ladybird, telling him about the non-cruel solution that had not occured to him and, being a mother and knowing Hasuu's abuse towards his adoring creation, scornfully told him that he wasn't as smart as he thought he was, angering the Kihara. [7] [8]
Ladybird continue to stand as a protector until Risako was free and Hasuu defeated. [8] Afterwards, she joined the group as they returned to the surface, with Sodate and Risako hesitantly approaching her, as their former guardian watched on from a distance. [23]


A Certain Magical Index

She has long blonde hair and aquamarine eyes. She has fair skin and wears lipstick. Of special interest is her eccentric clothing, which uses a checkered pattern. For this reason, people, like Shirai Kuroko , call her gothic lolita . As she was a child when she ate the fruit of ambrosia and became immortal , she looks like that of a child, and can be compared to other girls with a similar body type like Leivinia Birdway .

She is a manipulative girl, able to force Arisa to sing for her by threatening the audience. [3] Seemingly complementing this is her management abilities, being able to bring out a company that is nearly bankrupt back into prominence, silence the inquiries and investigations regarding the 89th passenger of the Spaceplane Orion , [4] and led it for three years to construct Endymion . Her dedication to a three year plan implies she has great patience, possibly stemming from the fact that she is immortal, and has been made numb by the long passage of time. She is also cruel, with her not killing Shutaura just so she can see the end of her plan, and her not caring for the millions of lives she will sacrificed for the sake of her spell and the aftermath that it would impose on the world. [3]
Once there was a time when she seemed to have shown pity and kindness. For example, before she became immortal, when she was by the side of the injured Crusader who offered her the fruit of ambrosia, she tried to refuse and seemed to insist that it should be for the Crusader. But now those days are gone and the long passage of time has made her a cruel and deranged death seeker. [4]


A Certain Magical Index

She has short brown hair that is forced up with a headband accentuating her forehead. Her clothes are a lacrosse uniform-like set of a shirt, a miniskirt, and spats similar to the other members. Her height is described as being shorter than Misaka Mikoto [1] and to Mikoto's dismay Lancis stated she thought her chest worked as a standard for the lowest. [2] When she is doing jobs relating to magic she wears long dragon talons on her fingers.

She displays a lethargic attitude regardless from her surroundings as seen working in the Maguro Hiroi (she feel asleep in front of a customer), or helping Mikoto (she didn't want Bayloupe to get angry at her for ignoring a customer). [3] She can display a calm perception on how to avoid being caught in public without causing panic and yet has no problem changing slowly into a V-sling bikini in a narrow alleyway during broad daylight. [4]
Like the rest of her group, she is patriotic to her country, only wishing the best for it, enough for her to make an enemy out of it and harm people if it is necessary. [5]


A Certain Magical Index

Last Order is depicted as a 10-year old version of Mikoto [1] with one unusual strand of hair (known as an ahoge ) that acts up in humorous moments in the manga. In her debut appearance, she's seen wearing a ragged piece of blanket as makeshift clothes. She is later given proper attire after being released from the hospital, wearing a blue spotted dress with a white coat and sandals. Unlike the other clones, her eyes are the same color as the original. Like Mikoto, Last Order has a complex in regards to her chest size and is easily upset about it.

Unlike her clone sisters, she is capable of actually showing emotions and has a close relationship with Misaka 10032 , Accelerator and her adult guardians, Yomikawa Aiho and Yoshikawa Kikyou . Like her older clone sisters, she speaks in third person, except she says "Misaka" twice. She has all of the memories of the Misaka clones and has observed Accelerator through this method during the experiment, posing a theory that Accelerator did not actually want to take part in the Level 6 Shift Project and therefore doesn't blame him for his actions. She also has an apparent admiration of Touma due to him stopping the experiments and also protecting her during the events of volume 13. [2] [3]
Her appearance matches her childish nature, being playful and curious, such as taking Misaka 10032's goggles to play with as well as playing tag with her. [2] She is also very caring as seen in New Testament, when she puts her life on the line to save Fräulein Kreutune , despite the latter wanting to devour her brain. Though only being a child, she is shown to be very perceptive, as demonstrated when she theorizes that Accelerator did not want to take part in the Level 6 Shift Project.

Despite being the Archbishop, she looks like an eighteen year old girl. [1] Her real age is unknown, but if Pope Matthai Reese's thoughts are any indication, Laura Stuart looked the same as she was twenty years ago, and that her age is still a mystery. [2] Regardless of her true age, Laura Stuart looks youthful. She is described as having crystal-white skin, clear blue eyes, and shining golden hair, comparing her appearance to that of a gem sold in shop. Her very presence makes her stand out in a crowd. [1]
The most striking characteristic of her appearance is her long blonde hair that is 2.5 times her height, which she takes tremendous effort in maintaining. [3] It extends all the way to her ankles, then folds up and goes behind her head through the large silver hairpin that was holding it in place, and returns down to her waist. [1]
As for her clothes, she dresses herself with a beige robe, despite the regulations prescribing that the clergymen's attire could only have white, red, black, green, or purple, with threads of gold for decoration, making her secretly breaking the rules. [1]

As the head of Necessarius and the Archbishop of the Church of England, it is only fitting for a person of Laura Stuart's character to hold such positions in order for the to survive the tumultuous world of Toaru Majutsu no Index , which is separated by both science side and magic sides, the latter being a disjointed collection of religions, sects, factions, and cabals. Behind her beautiful facade lies a cold and calculating personality, with Stiyl Magnus mentioning she does things on both ends of the scale that it balances out to the point where it's impossible to tell whether she's good or evil. She is described by him as "no one is better than her in manipulating human feelings, rationality, interests, ethics, and necessary values" and '"the hidden dragon among magicians , she’s somehow able to get to the top, and it’s not done cheaply." She does as many good things as she does evil things. On the balance of good and evil, she’s keeping an intricate balance. [4]

Laura Stuart revealing her double-faced nature. She is smirking after hearing the true nature of Lidvia Lorenzetti's plans for Academy City.

She can be very exceptionally cruel when it comes to her plans. An example with this is Laura being the one who had the Collar put on Index, and lied to people that Index must get her memory erased every year, as an attempt to maintain control of the grimoire library Index holds, [4] as well as a much more terrible restraint she envisioned for her as an alternative, with her having Index's limbs cut off and lock her inside the Tower of London , to ensure her absolute safety of Index Librorum Prohibitorum's knowledge from magicians that would misuse it, and to prevent her escape. [5] However, she can also be quite subtle and pragmatic with them befitting her devious nature, as exemplified by her agreeing to a treaty that allows Index to live in Academy City to build a proper relationship between the Church and the City, [1] allowing the Amakusa-Style Remix of Church as part of the Church of England in order to have a rein over Kanzaki Kaori under the guise of protecting them, [4] allowing Orsola Aquinas to join with the Church most likely to bind Kamijou Touma to the Church with his connections, [4] and continual aiding Academy City from Lidvia Lorenzetti after determining that the effects of Croce di Pietro would not benefit her. [6] Moreover, if a person has any use to her, she apparently loosens punishments on them, as exemplified with Sherry Cromwell , whom the Archbishop made tense negotiations with the City for and was given a "generous disposition" after her attack on the City. [7] Another example of Laura's viciousness is when Index is under the control of Fiamma [8] , she plans to forcibly use the remaining controller to prevent Fiamma having access to the girmoire collection Index have, even if it would put even more intense burdens onto Index. Stiyl rejects this move and delibrately stays with Index to prevent Laura doing anything, and plans to kill Laura if it means saving Index. Laura then activated her controller blocking Fiamma's signal, forcing Index into John's Pen mode and tries to fight back. Laura then coerced Stiyl into fighting Index, saying she is giving him a chance to do something to solve the problem at hand, and she'll step in with the controller regardless if he fails. All that was done with a seemingly sincere smile on Laura's face showing no outward malice. All this she does for the benefit of the Church of England.
Laura prefers to work behind the scenes if possible, and let others like Kanzaki or Stiyl deal with meeting with other factions face-to-face. [9]

[5] She exudes confidence, showing no fear when Touma had a drill on her head, knowing that she could escape it if she wished. [6]
However, despite all her haughtiness, there is more to Leivinia than a powerful and confident leader of a magic cabal.

[5] Lessar has so far made the most aggressive attempts at seducing Touma out of all the girls interested in him, and doesn't try to hide it. [4] [6] She once made a move on Touma while in an enclosed space in Russia but it is not shown what happened. After her clothes got wet from the snow and her bra could be seen through her top, instead of being embarrassed, Lessar is more annoyed that her 'secret weapon' to seduce Touma has been wasted after all of her preparation. After knowing Touma is allied with Dawn-coloured Sunlight, she became furious to the point of thinking of "punishing" him and even asked Lancis to go to Academy City to seduce Touma due to his apparent "change in taste." [7] Lessar tends to focus on the positive rather than the negative, an aspect of hers which isn't particularly well-liked by her comrades. [8]
Like the rest of her group, she is patriotic to her country, only wishing the best for it, enough for her to make an enemy out of it and harm people if it is necessary. [9]

[3] [4] As well as making claims of her power and presenting knowledge, [4] [5] [6] [3] she claimed to be acting because she had some responsibility for authorizing the Golden Dawn and intended to deal with the last traces of the cabal to resolve the whole affair. [4] [5] [3] According to Aiwass , the matter was worthless to her personally, but she had to act and make an appearance as Anna Sprengel once problem became as big as it did in order to keep up appearances and preserve the reputation of her assumed identity.

Marian appears a seemingly swarthy skinned young girl. She wears overalls on her bare skin and seem not to wear any undergarments, here she holds several of her tools. Her silver hair is braided, her ears pierced with large circular earrings and she also wears glasses. [2] She wears gloves, apparently for some sort of protection, being that she is magical smith of some sort.
On her overalls lie the crest of Jörmungandr , the World Serpent.

Unlike other magicians, she seems interested in modern marvels such as a cellphone, and readily wanted to use it along with her weapons. She is also apparently uncaring with the fact that she wears no undergarment for her considerably apparent bosom, or the fact that she is willing to become naked if the situation calls for it. [3]
Despite her appearance, she shows a sadistic demeanor, telling Cendrillon that she will either turn her into a wardrobe or table, [2] as well killing enemies with her transmutation magic in a most ridiculously brutal manner, [3] and using the living bodies as materials or furniture.

[6]
However, this dark personality is in truth just a delusion that she had put on herself. After joining Othinus' Gremlin and doing missions for the group, she had no choice but to do her duty in order for her desires, primarily the revival of the Dvergr, to be realized through Othinus the Magic God. [7] Her behavior is likely a way of planting the idea in her mind that such things were enjoyable. Indeed, even though she didn't want to do it, the line between the façade that she kept and her true feelings became blurred and she had truly begun enjoying them. [8] When Othinus betrayed her hopes, she lashed against her, blaming her for her own sins she committed for her sake. [7]

Despite being Leivinia's assistant, he seems to be slightly strict to her especially when there is a job that she needs to do even emphasizing that someone who cannot distinguish work from play doesn't have qualities of becoming a leader.

He's an elderly man with a white beard. He wears the typical papal regalia and bears a crosier bearing a crucified Christ and the hanged body of Judas on the opposite end.

Like all Popes he was voted into his position and strongly believes in the Roman Catholic Church doctrines. Despite the honor of being chosen, Matthai isn't satisfied with this, believing that the majority that voted him into office has no Holy value. [2] Moreover, he feels that he's disconnected from the Christian masses, and even wonders how Archbishop Laura Stuart is able to easily connect with her constituents as if her position as the head of Anglican Church didn't matter. [3]
When the magic world learns of the existence of Kamijou Touma and his powers, God's Right Seat convinced the Pope that he, Kamijou Touma, was a heretic and his powers are a threat to the world, thus he must be eliminated. [2] He is willing to consider war and violence in order to protect the Church, as shown when he allows the usage of the La Regina del Mare Adriatico to destroy Academy City , as well as to invade Academy City. [2]
However, in spite of his pragmatism in Church politics, he is an inherently well-meaning person. In fact, Laura Stuart herself calls him a kind man. [4] He believes himself to truly serve both God and the greater good with his actions. He has shown a willingness to negotiate and would rather not risk a great conflict if he can, this is likely the main reason for using the La Regina del Mare Adriatico and the invasion of Academy City by Vento of the Front , as a quick and effective means of ending the building chaos in the world that is centered in Academy City. Though this is exemplified with his justification to Fiamma of the Right on attacking Academy City instead of England as attacking England would spread the war to Europe. [4] He has entertained negotiations with the Anglican Church during the height of the prewar tension between the two great Christian churches. [4] Moreover, he believed that Touma could still be redeemed as he thinks he is a boy who is unfamiliar with God, and would rather prefer Acqua of the Back removing his right hand than outright killing him. [5] Perhaps his greatest act of kindness is when he stood against Fiamma of the Right, a man who would plunge the world into war just to complete his Holy Right , and willingly used his own body to defend a populated streets from his magic despite knowing that it would most likely kill him. [4]

One of her most notable traits is that she is often seen wearing what seems to be a light blue newsboy hat with a dove on the left side. She is once seen wearing glasses for reasons unknown, despite the fact that she can see just fine without them.

Arisa is a very kind selfless girl, as exemplified by the fact that she allowed Ladylee Tangleroad to use her in order for her audience to be safe. Like Index, she has a ravenous appetite. [1] She is shown to be a hard worker, as she failed to have obtained an esper ability, she used the fact that she had nothing to work hard in order to become what she is today in hopes of achieving her dreams of being a professional idol. [2]
She is a natural in the business, not camera shy at all, and not hesitant to wear the skimpy clothing required in her performances. Of her talents, she is also a talented songwriter, able to come up with new lyrics for her song after a short conversation with Index in the bath. She wants people to hear her sing to want to make them happy, but she also truly enjoys singing. Yet she is somewhat haunted by the fact her singing sometimes follows disaster, although all people in those tragedies survive calling it a 'miracle'. [1]
