Line 23: === Index Librorum Prohibitorum === '''[[Pretentious Latin Motto\|Dedicatus545]] -- ''[[The Messiah\|The Lamb is Devoted to Protecting the Wisdom of the Strongest]]'''''▼ [[File:300px-Dedicatus 7506.jpg\|frame\|[[Big Eater\|Feed her]] or [[Running Gag\|she will eat]] ''[[Running Gag\|you]]''.]] ▲'''[[Pretentious Latin Motto\|Dedicatus545]] -- ''[[The Messiah\|The Lamb is Devoted to Protecting the Wisdom of the Strongest]]''''' :Voiced by [[Yuka Iguchi]] The eponymous character of ''~~Toaru~~[[A ~~Majutsu~~Certain noMagical Index]]''. Also known by her nickname of "Index", she is the main female character of the series and considered the main heroine of the Magic side. She’s a member of [[Church Militant\|Necessarius]] and holds within her the 103,000 grimoires. Index was specifically chosen as the vessel for the 103,000 grimoires as she both has the ability to [[Photographic Memory\|perfectly remember things]] and is unaffected by the books' madness-inducing effects since she possesses no mana to power the grimoires. She’s also known for her temper and un-Nun like activities, such as being a Freeloader Glutton. Much of her background is currently unknown, due to the periodic memory lost inflicted upon her. {{tropelist\|Tropes exhibited by Index include:}} ~~----~~ * [[A-Cup Angst]]: [[Berserk Button\|As long as you don't say it to her face]], although she "improves" in Volume 16. * [[Accidental Kiss]]: While trying to bite Touma, Index misses and kisses his cheek. Line 36: * [[Badass Bookworm]]/[[Badass Adorable]]: She can stand up against a Golem or an army of magicians using just mental codes. * [[Belligerent Sexual Tension]]: With Touma. * [[Berserk Button]]: Two actually: Denying her access to food and mentioning her [[Pettanko\|horizontally challenged figure.]]{{verify\|reason=Is it 'short' or 'flat-chested' that annoys her?}} * [[Big Eater]] * [[Blood Magic]]: In order to heal herself, she used her blood as a catalyst for a healing spell. Line 51: * [[Cry Cute]]: When she thought Touma lost his memories (which he did). Also when Touma teases her. * [[Cute Little Fangs\|Cute Fang]] * [[Demoted to Extra]]: Considering that she is the title-giving character, her screen time and importance in many arcs of ''~~Toaru~~A ~~Majutsu~~Certain NoMagical Index'' is pretty limited. * [[Drama-Preserving Handicap]]: Index's "Walking Church" robe provides her with amazing defensive capabilities... which Touma inadvertently destroys in the first episode to prove the existence of his Imagine Breaker. Index patches it back together, but it's lost its defensive powers. [[Call Back\|This comes back a few times]], as the few people who do directly attack Index still believe her Walking Church’s active. This means that attacks that they are expecting her to simply shrug off are potentially fatal. This is especially bad considering that most people want Index for her knowledge, and killing her wouldn't exactly progress that goal. * [[Cute Kitten]]: Sphinx. Line 104: * [[You Gotta Have Blue Hair]]: She has silvery-blue hair. * [[Your Secrets Safe With Me Superman]]: Seems to think her favorite show, Magical Powered Kanamin, is real. === Mikoto Misaka === Line 116 ⟶ 115: Nicknamed [[In-Series Nickname\|Biri-Biri]] by Touma Kamijo, her power is [[Shock and Awe\|Electromaster]], and with it she is the third most powerful Level 5 (the highest rank attainable for an Esper). She has [[Unresolved Sexual Tension\|a love/hate relationship]] with Touma. {{tropelist\|Tropes exhibited by Railgun include:}} ~~----~~ * [[A-Cup Angst]]: It does ''not'' help that some of Academy City's ''younger'' girls are ''more'' endowed than she is. And it's hinted that her [[Hot Mom]] (who's really well endowed herself, also to Mikoto's chagrin) wants to rectify this fast (through food). Considering she's no more than fourteen you have to wonder why she's so bothered about it. This is again [[Played for Laughs]] during her first meeting with Misaka Worst. * [[Abhorrent Admirer]]: Zig-zagged; she doesn't like it when Kuroko gets too clingy, but she does obviously care for her roommate. Line 145 ⟶ 144: * [[Cuteness Proximity]]: Frogs. More specifically, she has a serious weakness in the form of the frog mascot "Gekota", so much so that she sees a real-life version of it [[Squick\|in “Heaven Canceller”, of all people]]. * [[Death Seeker]]: For causing the suffering of her clone "sisters". Touma snaps her out of it. * [[Despair Event Horizon]]: She comes dangerously close to this during the Sisters Arc, becoming a [[Evil Laugh\|little]] [[~~Talking~~Inner ~~to Themself~~Dialogue\|bit]] unstable towards the end. * [[Electric Torture]]: How she usually rewards [[Psycho Lesbian\|Kuroko's]] attempts to [[Lovable Sex Maniac\|have sex with her]], and is always [[Played for Laughs]]. * [[Elegant Classical Musician]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eldA_IhSIYc Yup.] Line 160 ⟶ 159: * [[High-Pressure Emotion]] * [[Goofy Print Underwear]]: Kuroko finds out, much to her delight, that Mikoto's underpants share the same "thumbs-up bunny" that the T-shirt she was given as a present has... unfortunately she then just ''had'' to skip and sing [[Crowning Moment of Funny\|"Matches! Matches! It matches with Onee-sama's!"]], which equates to [[What an Idiot!\|repeatedly jumping up and down on]] Mikoto's biggest [[Berserk Button]]... ** Perhaps that reason why she wears [[~~Skirt~~Modesty ~~Over Slacks~~Shorts]]. * [[Hair Flip]]: On occasion. * [[Hard Work Hardly Works]]: Subverted, as her quick rise from Level 1 to Level 5 is often held up as an example of how anyone can succeed with hard work. However, {{spoiler\|with the revelation that scientists in the Sisters experiment obtained her DNA map when she was much lower level, and the much later revelation of the existence of the parameter list, this becomes a [[Double Subversion]] since these mean that Mikoto had actually been pegged for greatness very early on in her development and was helped along the way much more than the average student.}} Line 174 ⟶ 173: {{quote\|'''Misuzu''': Mikoto, I didn't know you swung that way. '''Mikoto''': NO I DON'T!}} * [[I Am Not Left -Handed]]: She usually holds back her power to avoid killing people or causing unneeded destruction. When she cuts loose, it's clear why she's ranked as the third-best esper. One example of this is when she {{spoiler\|creates an enormous iron sand puppet to fight the Doppelganger in the Dream Ranker arc.}} * [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] * [[Last-Name Basis]]: Virtually everyone refers her as Misaka. Line 240 ⟶ 239: He is a Level 0 Academy City high school student in his first year and possesses the mysterious [[Anti-Magic\|Imagine]] [[Power Nullifier\|Breaker]], which cancels any magical, Esper-related, or divine power his right hand comes into contact with, but also brings him [[Blessed with Suck\|incredibly bad luck]]. Possessing a strong sense of justice, he helps anyone who is in need and will not hesitate to challenge anyone who is several times more powerful than himself. This willingness to help those in need has resulted in him [[Harem Show\|receiving the affection of many females]]. {{tropelist\|Tropes exhibited by Touma include:}} ~~----~~ * [[A God Am I]]: Pre-amnesia Touma often told people his right hand was capable of negating miracles from God. Of course, he does later start backing up these claims... and then you consider {{spoiler\|the "Invisible Thing" inside of him.}} * [[Above Good and Evil]]: According to Aiwass, Touma is this, someone who doesn't care about labels such as good and evil, but just doing what he considers to be the right thing to do. That would explain at least, why in one minute he can beat the crap out of someone, and in the next, risk his life to protect the same person. Heck, Touma even says something to that effect, when he gets out his funk, after Fiamma said that he isn't such a good person, because he lied to Index about his memory loss. Line 416 ⟶ 415: He was part of an experiment called the "Level 6 Shift", the goal of which was to make him the first Level 6 by killing 20,000 clones of Mikoto. {{spoiler\|The Level 6 Shift was actually meaningless and the true goal was to cover up the Sisters' purpose in Aleister's Artificial Heaven plan. It was meant to stop, but it hadn't been planned that it would occur at the hands of Touma}}. After the Experiment was cancelled, and some soul searching, he pulled a [[Heel Face Turn]] to make amends for his sins -- starting by saving Last Order. Since then, [[Breakout Character\|he's become one of the main characters]]. {{tropelist\|Tropes exhibited by Accelerator include:}} ~~----~~ * [[A God Am I]]: Accelerator's ambition, at least early on. He doesn't state it in so many words, but he does say that he wants to become so powerful that it "would be a sin" to fight him. The implication is crystal clear. * [[Accidental Pervert]]/[[Ignore the Fanservice]]: When he enters the bathroom to take a shower and finds Yoshikawa, Yomikawa, and Last Order naked inside, he just gets pissed that they didn't close the door. Line 462 ⟶ 461: * [[Death Seeker]]: {{spoiler\|He's trying to redeem himself for the sins he's committed, so he tries to protect the remaining clones and the people he cares for even if that means throwing away his life.}} * [[Deuteragonist]] * [[The Dreaded]]: Everyone in Academy City fears ~~The~~ Accelerator, with the exception of the other two protagonists, his legal guardians, and some [[Bullying a Dragon\|bullies who are]] [[Too Dumb to Live]]. * [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: {{spoiler\|Lampshaded and outright shown by Accelerator himself during his fight with [[The Rival\|Kakine Teitoku]].}} * [[Everyone Calls Him "Barkeep"]]: Doubles as his [[~~The Red Baron~~sobriquet]]. As not even Accelerator remembers his original name, and considers "Accelerator" his name, it could technically be a case of [[His Name Really Is "Barkeep"]]. * [[Evil Albino]] ~~-->~~→ [[Heroic Albino]] * [[Evil Counterpart]]: To Touma. * [[Evil Laugh]] Line 543 ⟶ 542: * [[Star-Making Role]]: Landed [[Nobuhiko Okamoto]] the ''Best New Voice Actor of 2009'' Trophy for his blood-chillingly evil performance, as a matter of fact. ** Also one of three role that landed him ''Best Supporting Actor of 2010''. The other two are [[Kaichou wa Maid-sama\|Takumi Usui]] and [[Bakuman｡\|Nizuma Eiji]]. * [[Super Mode]]: {{spoiler\|Awakening, which causes [[Power Gives You Wings\|white wings to unfurl on his back]] and increases his power massively.}} * [[Super-Powered Evil Side]]: {{spoiler\|Dark Awakening.}} * [[Tears of Blood]]: {{spoiler\|The first time he cries.}} Line 561 ⟶ 560: * [[The Worf Effect]]: An in-universe example. After being defeated by Touma (a Level 0 Esper), gangs of punks challenged Accelerator on the assumption that he's really a pussy. This is followed by brutal [[No-Holds-Barred Beatdown]]. * [[Would Hit a Girl]]: When he was evil, he killed several thousand Misaka clones. When he became good, he absolutely ''wrecked'' Awaki's face with his fist. {{spoiler\|And he beat the crap out of Misaka WORST so hard that he broke her arm.}} === Shiage Hamazura === Line 571 ⟶ 569: A Level 0 and former Skill-Out gangster. As a former lacky, grunt, chaffeur, and informant of Team ITEM, he delved into Academy City's Dark Side and turned into an anomaly that made a habit of spectacularly derailing Aleister's plans, making him the most wanted man in Academy City and placing him firmly at the top of Aleister's hit-list. It must suck to be him. {{tropelist\|Tropes exhibited by Hamazura-san include:}} ~~----~~ * [[AI]]: Aneri, the AI in the Dragon Rider, who becomes attached to Shiage. {{spoiler\|It turns out that it's a weaker version of the Reading Thoth 78, Aleister's personal AI.}} * [[Always Someone Better]]: Poor guy feels this way about both Accelerator ''and '' Touma. Line 616 ⟶ 614: * [[Mini-Mecha]]: Uses one in NT Volume 12, called a Power Lifter. * [[Nice Guy]]: Even if his bosses are bitchy, demanding girls. * [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: [[Sarcasm Mode\|Jeez thanks]], you just made [[Yandere ~~(trope)~~\|Shizuri]] even more unstable, and for that Aleister and his goons want you and everyone you care about dead. * [[Odd Friendship\|Odd]] [[Action Duo]]: With {{spoiler\|Acqua of the Back}} in Volume 21. Yes, you read that right. ** Shiage and Misaka Worst in NT volume 3. Line 634 ⟶ 632: * [[Would Hit a Girl]] {{charactersub-subpagefooter}} ~~----~~ ~~:<small>Back to ''[[{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]''</small>~~ ~~{{reflist}}~~ ~~[[Category:{{ROOTPAGENAME}}]]~~ ~~[[Category:Characters]]~~ {{DEFAULTSORT:Certain Magical Index, A}}
