A Certain Magical Index/Characters/New Light

A Scandinavia-based "magic cabal", which in reality is only a club of novices with an interest in magic. Four of them have been introduced in Volume 17. Their specialty is Norse Mythology-based magic. They also have a major role in assisting Mikoto during the second Railgun SS: Shopping Mall Demonstration.

Tropes common to all four:
"Floris: “Hey, you two lesbians who look like you’re from some erotic novel or something." Lessar: “Floris! Lancis!! Quit awakening strange new tendencies and wake up! We need to use this room!!”"
 * Altum Videtur: N. L. presumably stands for "Novus Lumen", considering how the initialism for the Dawn-Colored Sunlight uses its Latin translation.
 * Blade on a Stick: Probably their Weapon of Choice.
 * Cosplay: They all have the same cheerleader outfit.
 * Four-Girl Ensemble
 * Les Yay: The whole group, particularly Bayloupe and Lessar, though Floris and Lancis aren't exactly innocent either. The group seems the be well aware of their apparently abnormal closeness too.


 * Norse Mythology: Their magic is based on it.
 * Only One Name: Their last names haven't been revealed.
 * Stealth Expert: All of them are capable of entering blind spots in security cameras or hiding in plain sight by blending in with the crowd in populated areas.
 * Teleporters and Transporters: Skíðblaðnir. It comes in a group of suitcases which allow transportation of objects through the other suitcases.
 * You Have Outlived Your Usefulness:

Bayloupe
The leader of New Light, as well as the eldest member of their group. Her steel gloves draw power from Thor, which allows her to use the lightning-god's weapons.


 * Badass: Fights Itsuwa and would've survived the Necessarius training ground if she weren't protecting the Skíðblaðnir.
 * Blade on a Stick
 * Shock and Awe: Her gloves emulate Thor's weapons. One of her most powerful spells seems to be a bombardment of lightning used as a long range area of effect attack.
 * All Your Powers Combined: A variation - her gloves function as an amalgam of all of Thor's weapons, allowing her to use all of them at once.
 * Somebody Else's Problem: In the Side Story,
 * Spank the Cutie: She spanked Lessar for getting Mikoto too involved in the Side Story.
 * White-Haired Pretty Girl: Although her description states that it's silver.

Lessar


A member of New Light. Her Steel Gloves contain retractable enchanted claws and is able to absorb fire-based attacks.


 * Badass: In terms of fighting capability, she is the strongest member of New Light.
 * Blade on a Stick
 * Blow You Away: Seems to use a combination of the four directions and their elemental correspondence in order to control the air around her.
 * Dominatrix: After  she donned the suit and decided "Giving him treats didn’t work, so I have no choice but to start swinging the whip!!"
 * Enemy Mine: In NT Volume 8, she and Leivinia both end up working together as part of the anti-GREMLIN alliance, despite Lessar being part of a pro-UK group and Leivinia being the leader of a cabal in conflict with the UK.
 * Entendre Failure: Before trying to eat a large sandwich that Touma doubts she can even fit in her mouth, she says she prides herself on her ability to fit surprisingly large objects inside. And then adds that he can even think of that in an indecent way if he likes. He still doesn't get it.
 * Fille Fatale:
 * Fragile Speedster: She's fast with decent attack power, but hasn't really shown herself to be too durable. Her job during normal missions is basically to run around as a scout and gain accurate information.
 * Heel Face Turn:
 * Lady of War
 * Les Yay: With Bayloupe.
 * Little Miss Badass
 * Lovable Sex Maniac
 * Playboy Bunny: In the second Railgun SS.
 * Playing with Fire
 * Rape Is Love
 * Rescue Romance:
 * Single-Target Sexuality
 * She Knows Too Much:
 * Zettai Ryouiki

Lancis
A member of New Light. She mostly avoids combat, and thus has minor participation in the. Her whereabouts are currently unknown.


 * A-Cup Angst
 * Barely-There Swimwear: She wore a V-Slingshot swimsuit in the second Railgun SS: Shopping Mall Demonstration.
 * Blade on a Stick
 * The Hyena: Her magic apparently makes her feels ticklish.
 * Skirt Over Slacks
 * Spider Sense: Is said to have the ability to sense danger.
 * Status Debuff / Standard Status Effects: Uses status inducing spells to lower the enemies capablities.

Floris
A member of New Light. She is the driver of the group, despite being only 15 years old.


 * Blade on a Stick
 * Improbable Age
 * She Knows Too Much:
 * Skirt Over Slacks
 * Wings Do Nothing: Double Subverted. It allowed her and Touma to fly off a moving vehicle, but well, Touma is there.
 * She apparently usually uses them as a tool to retrieve Lessar from her usual position on the front line.
