"Static Wishes: The Curse of Borrowed Power"

Prompt: Misaka Mikoto (御坂 美琴 Misaka Mikoto?) (born May 2nd[1]) is one of the main heroines in Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main protagonist of Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Introduced in the first volume of the light novels, her role in the story was later expanded in the third volume as well as the release of the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga, making her the main female character of the science side and the second main heroine of the entire series as a whole. Age 14[2] Height Lower 150s cm (Around 5') (1st Year)[3] 161 cm (5'3")[4] She is the third ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City, and has been nicknamed Railgun due to her signature move. Kamijou Touma coined the nickname Biri-Biri (ビリビリ?) (a Japanese onomatopoeia imitating the sound of electricity), while in the English dub she is referred to as "Bug Zapper" (or more usually, simply "Zapper"), and whenever the two meet, he usually calls her that, even after his amnesia.[6][7][8] Mikoto has chestnut hair and is often seen wearing a small hair clip (firstly a rather simple one in the early stages of the story. It then was changed to one with two little flowers since the Tree Diagram Remnant Arc, specifically, from Toaru Majutsu no Index II Episode 06 in the anime, or Toaru Majutsu no Index Manga Chapter 058 in the manga). Her eyes are the same color as her hair. She is also shown to have a complex regarding her chest, feeling inferior when compared to girls with bigger bust sizes. She wears the Tokiwadai Middle School school uniform, sporting white loose/slouch socks and brown loafers with a light brown vest sweater over a white blouse and a grey skirt. She is also known to always wear shorts under every skirt and dress she wears, which surprises an amnesiac Kamijou Touma as she is the only girl who wears shorts over her panties. Mikoto is the daughter of Misaka Tabigake and Misaka Misuzu. She entered Academy City in elementary age,[9] and distinguished herself as a child prodigy, initially starting out as a Level 1 and climbing her way up to a Level 5 esper.[10][11][Notes 1] This made her a perfect candidate for the Sisters Project, which held the intent of cloning her for military use. Mikoto willingly gave a DNA sample to the researchers of the project after being told that it would help people who suffer from muscular dystrophy, a fatal disease. One year before the main story,[12] she enrolled in Tokiwadai Middle School at the age of 12,[13] apparently as a Level 3.[14][15] Possessing a high compatibility with Tokiwadai's curriculum, Mikoto quickly grew in power,[15] becoming a Level 5 that same April, albeit the lowest ranked at the time,[13][16][12] and achieved her current third ranking by August.[17] In her first year, she lost a 10,000 yen bill due to A Certain Vending Machine, probably explaining her propensity for kicking it.[18][12] On July 14th, she encountered and had a brief conversation with Ibotanokikouji Kaede, who had been falsely claiming to be the Number Six, with Mikoto not taking much notice of the claim or being bothered by it.[19] In one fateful event, she saved her future friend Shirai Kuroko from a robber by using her 'Railgun' ability.[20][21] Kuroko eventually enrolled at Tokiwadai as well and gained great affection for Mikoto. Mikoto later became roommates with Kuroko in Room 208 - despite Kuroko being her junior - after Kuroko 'legally' removes Mikoto's previous roommate who was supposedly ill-natured towards Mikoto. Being a Level 5 esper as well as a student with consistently high grades, Mikoto is known as Tokiwadai's Ace. Mikoto's role initially was that of a minor character known to Kamijou Touma before his memory loss. In her reappearance after Touma's memory loss, she acts as the main heroine along with her Sisters. Like with the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun side story the Sisters Arc marks a turning point for her character, which is later heavily explored in later appearances, far and few they may be, as a character that has a crush on Kamijou Touma but cannot properly express it. An example of this is her overhearing of Touma promising to Etzali that he will protect her and the world around her. Her role as such remained as is for her earlier appearances, with her getting involved little with Touma's adventures and even then completely unaware of what's truly behind the surface. It is not until her discovery with Touma's memory loss that she tries to become actively involved with Touma. Moreover, in spite of Touma's insistence on not getting her involved, Mikoto only persists. Her crush, furthermore, blossoms even more. Mikoto's character involvement in the plot was not of the more significant story unfolding but with her continual association with Kamijou Touma. This finally goes to head during the climactic ending of Toaru Majutsu no Index with World War III, where she goes out of her way to go to the battlefields of Russia to find Touma and bring him back. She later fails in her goal, as Touma refuses her rescue in order to save the world. Despite being a Level 5, she is powerless to save Touma and bring him back to Academy City, though she has not given up on him as shown in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index. Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index Main article: Misaka Mikoto/Chronology (Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index) As an extension to her role from Toaru Majusu no Index, Mikoto continues her similarly in Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index, with her constantly trying to aid Touma and the battles that he is in, making her an important supporting character. Touma eventually relents to her and brings her along for the invasion of Hawaii. She proves her mettle, and Touma comes to trust her during battle. Much later Touma would allow her to join him if she chooses to, though doesn’t actively seek out for help. It is not until the Gremlin invasion of Tokyo, that she and even Index finally achieve getting Touma to believe in them, with him asking them to help her save Freyja. Much later, similarly to the Will of the Whole Misaka Network, she becomes instrumental in helping Touma get rid of the emotional baggage he had felt towards the Perfect World, forcing him to look at the value of the world that they live in, the world he left behind another world for, and finally achieving bittersweet victory over him. Since most of her focus is on Touma, Mikoto doesn’t actively seek out information or knowledge regarding the magic side, simply taking Touma or the other’s word for the importance of the situation that they are in. uestioning why Shokuhou even wanted to be president since it wasn't her thing.[25] ccording to the interview on Kamachi Kazuma featured in Toaru Majutsu no Index no Subete, the author states Mikoto is the one whom he would want to choose as his friend among all Index characters. According to an interview her birthday is May 2, making her a Taurus ♉.[1] Mikoto (and her clones) have blood type AB.[41] Mikoto shares her birthday with her Japanese voice actress, Satou Rina whose birthday is also May 2. Mikoto's three sizes are B78 W56 H79.[42][43] She was also born in Kanagawa Prefecture, where her mother lives.[42] Tokiwadai Middle School (常盤台中学 Tokiwadai Chūgaku?) is a prestigious girls’ middle school. Of the currently named schools in Academy City, it is the one containing the most characters in the series. It is one of the five most prestigious schools of Academy City and is said to be the most renowned girls’ school in the world. It is also mentioned that it had once sparked an international incident for refusing to admit a girl from a royal family because she wasn’t good enough.[1] Tokiwadai teaches its students more than the average middle school and gives lectures on a university level, as they want their students to stand on the front lines of their field when they graduate.[2] Currently, Unabara Mitsuki's grandmother is the director/administrator of the school.[3] Student Demographics The entry requirement is esper ability Level 3 or higher, and the school currently contains a total of around 180 students.[4] Of the 180 students, there are currently 2 Level 5 espers, 47 Level 4 espers, 1 Level 2 esper,[Notes 1] and the rest being Level 3 espers.[5] Uniform The uniforms worn by all Tokiwadai students seen so far have been comprised of a short-sleeved white dress shirt worn under a light brown vest with the school emblem on the left side. For bottoms, the girls wear dark tan pocketed skirts that reach halfway down their thighs. There seems to be no uniform requirement for socks or shoes and other additions in between, such as Mikoto's shorts. In Volume 12, it is mentioned like all other schools in Academy City, Tokiwadai has a separate set of uniform for winter time as opposed to summer. It comprises of a tan buttoned blazer (a shade darker than the summer vest), a checkered blue skirt with black and tan criss-crossing lines, as well as a red ribbon tie. Tokiwadai Middle School's rules state that students are not allowed to wear casual clothes inside the school or in the dormitory as it is still part of the entire school. Even on days off, students are still required to wear their uniforms.[6] However, students at work internships may ignore this rule if they so choose.[7] The marketing department of White Spring Holdings helped design Tokiwadai Middle School's uniform.[8] Tokiwadai is located in the School Garden, an area inside Academy City consisting of Tokiwadai and four other girl's schools, with a shopping area dedicated to the rich young girls. The school's grounds are fairly large, with multiple buildings and outdoor areas.[9] From the front gate, the first building is the school's clocktower, with a plaza in front of it.[9] To the left of the plaza is the school's gym,[9][Notes 2] with a large swimming pool (which is used by staff to measure Misaka Mikoto's power) further onwards left.[9][Notes 2] Behind the clock tower is the school's sports ground (with tracks),[9][Notes 2] with tennis courts to the left behind the gym.[9][Notes 2] The two main buildings encompass the rear and right sides of the sports ground,[9][Notes 2] presumably holding the classrooms and a library, with the left building extending from the left-rear side towards the tennis court,[9][Notes 2] and the L-shaped right building around the right-rear and right sides of the sports ground,[9][Notes 2] with a corridor connecting the two.[9][Notes 2] A courtyard is located to the right of the right main building.[9][Notes 2] The school also contains a showering area. Artificial woods are located behind the school for forestry lessons.[10] Tokiwadai has two dormitories, one of them is outside of the School Garden and where Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko reside in, and the other one which is in the School Garden where Kongou Mitsuko takes residence. Judgment 003 Branch Office The school building has a room within the campus allocated to its own branch of Judgment, Judgment 003 Branch Office (風紀委員ジャッジメント 第〇〇三支部 Fūki I'in (Jajjimento) Dai Rei Rei San Shibu?).[11] Shirai Kuroko is a member and assists the office.[12][13][14] Returning Bath Facility Returning Bath Facility (帰様の浴院 Kaeri-sama no Yokuin?) is one of the three bathing facilities to be found in Tokiwadai Middle School. It is a subsidiary of the school, and is used exclusively for students to clean themselves up. It is as large as five classrooms, and there are close to 90 showerheads. Each of them is separated by white partition boards and a sliding door. The doors aren't as big as the boards, which only hide the chest down to the thigh of an averaged sized middle school student from Tokiwadai.[15] In the anime adaptations, the shower room seems to be smaller due to perspective restrictions, showing only the shower partitions near to the wall. However, it serves the same purpose as it is in the novels. It has advanced shower controls, lockers, tables for glasses and drinks, cabinets for various bathing implements, as well as ornamental plants, and seats for students to sit on.[16] Activities Other than the usual events the school participates in like the Daihaseisai. Tokiwadai seem to hold a Midsummer Festival which is held in the dormitory that is not in the School Garden, here the students are to wear maid ensembles and have them welcome and serve guests, they give and invite the guests in demonstrations like flower arrangement, sewing, etc., and at the end of the festival someone from the festival is to give a performance. In the current year, Misaka Mikoto was voted to give the performance.[17] The Tokiwadai Midsummer Festival (盛夏祭?) is an annual event that is held by Tokiwadai Middle School during the middle of summer, it is held in the Tokiwadai Dormitory.[2] Normally, Tokiwadai Dormitory is closed off to the public, however, during the middle of summer, the dormitory opens it's doors to the public for one day. On this day the students of the Tokiwadai Dormitory dress up in maid outfits and serve the guests by giving them pamphlets, and showing them around the dormitory where events are being held. The student's are also allowed to invite guests, though the exact number of how many guests one can invite is unknown. The Tokiwadai Dorm Supervisor also has the privilege to invite her own guests as well. Students from the Tokiwadai Dormitory in School Garden, are allowed to take part of the festivities by serving guests or being guests themselves.[2] Tokiwadai Dormitory also employs members of Anti-Skill for security purposes, and are allowed to enjoy the festivities as well. Both Tokiwadai students and guests are provided meals during the events.[2] Throughout the day, guests are provided a variety of events and activities to take part in. Below is a list of known classes and events that are held during the festival.[2] Pastry Decoration Embroidery Class Flower Arrangement Tea Ceremony Item Auction - Tokiwadai students donate their possessions, where other Tokiwadai students as well as guests can bid for them. According to Konori Mii,[2] the proceeds of the auction will go to help Child Errors, all around the country. Student Performance - A student is picked to give a performance on stage for people to view. School Garden (学舎の園まなびやのその Manabiya no Sono?, Yen Press: Garden of Learning) is a gated-access area located on the southern end of School District 7 in Academy City. It is similar to other areas in the district as it is simply an area composed of schools and other establishments like shops and restaurants, however what makes the area different from others is that it is composed of 5 elite schools for girls and the establishments that tend to its population is similarly high-classed.[1] Tokiwadai Middle School is located here along with one of its dormitories. With its reddish sett- and cobble-stoned roads and streets tessellated in strange designs, and showering fountains in their open squares, lit by wrought metal lamps.[2] With its traditional brick and mortar buildings, roofs such as flat types, gables and spires, and their tasteful parapets and the corbels that support them, and of the smokestacks resting upon them. With its balconies upon windows with metal balusters of arabesque designs that surround it, and the awning above them. With its subtle crosswalk and unique traffic lights different from the rest of the city. With its gates that provided the entrance to the area, and its baroque colonnades and entablature. It is depicted to be cramped with buildings, and despite the School Garden's large size, the roads are narrow. This may be due to the area focusing on aesthetics rather than practicality.[1] Principles The School Garden is jointly controlled by five prestigious girls' schools including Tokiwadai Middle School. The area is full of cutting-edge technology that isn't allowed outside the schools and they have facilities and budget needed to protect it all.[3] Maps of the Garden have parts grayed out as it only needs to give the main entrances and service entrances for the five schools. This is because though they jointly control the School Garden, all of them are also rivals.[4] Territory within the School Garden is divided between the five schools, but there are some areas which are claimed by multiple schools and are a subject of tension between them. These are known as the Lost Pieces (ロストピース Rosutopīsu?).[5] Demographics The area is a cluster of elite schools which are obviously frequented by elite students. Since Tokiwadai is located here, there are many students here that are at least Level 3 espers. The population is largely composed of students with wealthy upbringings who can afford the schools here. Students who reside within the city or go to school here have cards that they use in order to pass the entrance of the area. Ordinary students require permission in order to gain access to the area; it is shown the student from the area can invite the students from the outside to be able to enter the area. Barricades are not only used to keep out intruders, but also to separate different areas, such as housing and experimental facilities.[2] The School Garden has a total of eight gates. Items can be brought in through five of them. However, if someone was bringing in a piece of artwork or an antique, it would have received a special inspection. And there would be a record of this. This is because of recent events after someone tried to sneak out a chip loaded with information hidden in an impressionist painting.[4] For security reasons there are 2,458 cameras in total monitoring the streets and establishments of School Garden.[2] According to Tsuchimikado Motoharu, rumors in the School Garden reek of lies, since information there is highly classified, as such, he doubts that rumors formed in School Garden are not made without reason.[6] Finally, males are not allowed inside the Garden, even male members of Anti-Skill,[4] making the Garden more gender-restricted than most public toilets and changing rooms. Kamijou Touma (上条 当麻 Kamijō Tōma?) is the main protagonist of the Toaru Majutsu no Index series and an important character in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun series. As a Level 0 Academy City first-year high school student, his point-of-view allows the audience to become acquainted to the mysterious world of Toaru Majutsu no Index, and is mostly involved in the events of its Magic Side. He is a typical teenager with the usual angst and laid back attitude common for his age - this is apparent in the way he handles his guardianship of Index. In spite of being her guardian, albeit unofficially, he usually leaves Index to her own devices - often unprotected and often leaves her without an explanation which causes the latter to look for him and end up being in harm's way. He possesses the mysterious "Imagine Breaker" in his right hand, which is capable of negating all forms of magic, esper powers, and other divine abilities. This, according to Index, even includes his own good luck, as they are the blessings of God.[9] Because of his ability, he has been unwillingly dragged into a war between the several factions most notably between the two major churches. He lacks commitment to the role he has been thrust into and often lets his emotions get the best of him. This often results in someone close to him getting hurt first before he takes a decisive action. He has a very strong desire to aid all those who are in need even if it means putting his life on the line and will not hesitate to challenge an opponent who is several times more powerful than himself. In spite of this, and the obvious disadvantage he is at compared to his opponents, he never really bothered on learning any offensive or defensive skills and merely relied on brute strength and the ability contained in his right hand. Because of his willingness to help others unconditionally, he has attracted the affections of many characters in the series, which Himegami Aisa jokes about, stating that his life is like a dating simulation where he is bound to unlock more paths to more girls.[10 On its own, Touma's name spelled in kanji doesn't mean anything special. However, when other characters reference the pronunciation of "Kamijou," it takes on different and seemingly coincidental meanings. When Touma first meets Kanzaki Kaori, she believes his name means (神浄討魔) in kanji as opposed to (上条当麻). Kanzaki's interpretation translates to One who Purifies God and Slays Demons. (Yen Press: The Magic Slayer of God's Cleansing)[1] Later in Volume 14, Touma's family name "Kamijou" (上条) is mentioned to be homophonous to La Persona Superiore a Dio (神上) in Japanese. The author's Afterword section also mentions a tantalizing hint on what the difference is between these two possible alternative translations of Touma's name, though in-universe none of the characters have noted the similarity as it is obviously in a different language. Finally and possibly coincidentally, another interesting case is that Touma's given name is homophonous to 透魔, which can be translated as "Invisible Demon." This is interesting as Touma wields an incredibly powerful and invisible force in his right arm which is temporarily released if that arm is severed, one so powerful that even Fiamma of the Right feared it. Appearance Touma looks like an ordinary high school student except for his most striking feature, his spiky black hair. It's been mentioned that his spiky hair isn't natural, but he made it that way using hair gel after seeing it on a fashion magazine.[11] His father remarks that Touma looks just like his mother when he is worried about something or is thinking deeply.[citation needed] Because he resides in Academy City, Touma often wears his school uniform along with an orange T-shirt underneath.[citation needed] This applies to both the summer and winter versions of his uniform (though when wearing the winter version he doesn't button it).[citation needed] Around the winter season, he wears a white hoodie under his jacket.[citation needed] Because of his tendency to wear his uniform in such a manner and the fact that he seems to attract trouble, many people easily mistake him for a delinquent.[citation needed] On holidays and weekends, Touma generally wears a casual shirt and pants.[citation needed] Following the attack on the Queen Britannia and his temporary loss of Imagine Breaker, Touma briefly had a sky-blue arm in place of his normal right arm, which could unravel and surround his body in the form of a dragon - a sky-blue and lemon-yellow winged lizard with crocodilian jaws, giant bat-like wings and a thick tail.[12] Touma is the son of Kamijou Touya and Kamijou Shiina, who live outside of Academy City. During his childhood, he was often seen as a jinx because of the misfortune that his right hand creates and he was called "god of pestilence" by people around him. Once, a bankrupt and superstitious person blamed Touma for his own misfortunes and tried to stab him. A TV station heard about the incident and tried to make a supernatural show based on Touma, as well as releasing images of him without his family's consent. Because of this, Touma's father sent him to Academy City when Touma graduated from kindergarten, as it was a place where many unique and gifted people lived free from superstition and Touma could be free from the kind of things he had experienced back home.[2] This, however, was somehow a deliberate plot by Aleister Crowley to bring Touma into the City, and one of the most obvious effects of this is the birth of Kazakiri Hyouka out of fear of the Imagine Breaker.[13] Life in Academy City However, during his time in Academy City as a child, Touma wrote letters to his father; from there, he determined that even in the city of science, people still treated Touma differently due to his terrible luck.[2] According to Tsukuyomi Komoe, Touma used to be a "naughty boy" in the past.[14] It is also during this time that Touma discovered that his right hand can somehow dispel supernatural powers, specifically the psychic powers used by the students of Academy City. This power, named Imagine Breaker, was only known by a few of Academy city's high-ups, especially by Aleister Crowley and Heaven Canceller. Since then, Imagine Breaker was secretly held as a power of great importance, despite Touma himself being officially classified as a Level 0. Touma is treated as a precious person by his current high school classmates due to all their bad luck being attracted to him, as shown when they rejoiced upon hearing that Touma forgot his homework.[15] Because of him, they get off lightly from things such as the teachers being annoyed at them for not submitting homework. This is unlike how Touma's life was before he entered Academy City, raising the question of whether Imagine Breaker's power was sealed away sometime between him entering Academy City and the present day, seeing how the bad luck affects Touma alone instead of before when it also influenced the people around him. However, Touma's classmates, mainly the male students, do resent Touma for one thing – his impossibly good luck at getting girls' attention. This is due to many girls sympathizing with Touma's bad luck, and has gotten to the point where Fukiyose Seiri, the only one who is critical of Touma's lazy attitude to life, is called the 'Girl of Steel Walls' and 'the Girl who is completely wary of Touma'. Many of Touma's classmates say, "Though Touma keeps saying he's unlucky, he has the best position," and joke about if nobody can stop Touma, humanity will end due to him taking all the girls.[16] Surprisingly, Touma still hasn't gotten into a serious romantic relationship even with this kind of female attention. This is possibly due to his friendship with Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce, the latter often joking of supporting Touma to build a harem that covers every type of fetish imaginable.[17] Touma said he'd break Aogami and Motoharu's fantasies on this topic using his Imagine Breaker. Motoharu has named Touma's 'ability' to get girls chasing after him without much effort as the Kami-yan disease, and applied this to Stiyl Magnus after hearing about how Stiyl got chased by Tsukuyomi Komoe and couldn't even throw her off easily using the 'Opila' runes. Komoe also once half-seriously said he might have an esper ability (AIM diffusion field) that causes girls to trickle down to him.[18] Most people around him, such as Index and Misaka Mikoto, consider it "normal" for him to have girls around him and are usually quick to jump to conclusions about what he's doing (or done). Due to Touma being a Level 0, he has to take even more make-up lessons than usual as he does not have the required academic achievements. This does not mean that Touma is unintelligent, as in many occasions he has shown quick thinking in combat. Lessar even outright stated that Touma is extremely smart in some aspects but not others.[19] It is also shown that Touma at least has a good grasp of physics, being able to calculate the flight path of an HsB-02. Even before the start of the series, Touma could not ignore someone in trouble and would help people regardless of who they are. Indeed, this is how his life is intertwined with Mitsuari Ayu and Shokuhou Misaki. Mitsuari is a girl who was at an impasse in her development as an esper and attempted to commit suicide in Ground Geo on the same day as Touma met Misaki.[20] He would've been able to save her if not for him dropping his cellphone when he ran into Misaki.[20][21] Touma would later visit Ground Geo as it was the sight of Mitsuari's suicide attempt and there he met Misaki again, inadvertently preventing her from erasing her own memories out of depression.[22] They would meet up several more times during the summer, with Touma giving her a cheap whistle.[23] Their relationship could be compared to that which later developed between Touma and Mikoto — acquaintances that often run into each other in the city.[24] Touma later protected Misaki from Deadlock by using his own body as a shield. The result of this encounter is also quite similar to that of Touma and Index, ending with Touma losing his memories of Misaki, though this case is different in that Touma also received anterograde amnesia specific to her (any new memories he forms of Misaki are soon forgotten).[25] As for Mikoto, Touma first meets her when she was being harassed by thugs. At first, she was impressed that he was the only one who was willing to come to her aid (even though she could have handled the thugs all by herself). She then became annoyed by him after he accidentally insulted her, resulting in her discharging a powerful amount of electricity at the thugs as well as Touma, though he was unaffected because he used his right hand.[26][27] This became the catalyst that made her consider him someone she must beat. For some time, Mikoto continually stalked Touma demanding him to fight her, even though she was still unaware of the power of his right hand. Touma lives on the seventh floor of his apartment building.[10] Touma found a genie jar with a genie that will grant wish but with a twist the wish that are given to the owner of the lamp are not the one they wish for but the old owner wish so Touma who wish for his powers to be easy to use and to be able to turn on and off, riches and have his family with him which was give to someone else he did not know this when he wish intel after he wish thanks to the genie not being able to say anything before he get ash wish who try's to run but can't get away thanks to how genies know where there owners are and got a girl wish before him that girl was name dawn who wish to have the life/power/ body of Misaka Mikoto but got wished form the owner before her which mean she is not a part of the story we fallow Touma in his new body and life show how the changes to his life it was and gender problems he now have why making it fell like a real story as in them talking to other people for one day that all.
