Misaka Mikoto
Misaka Mikoto (御坂 美琴 Misaka Mikoto) is one of the main characters in Toaru Majutsu no Index and the main protagonist of A Certain Scientific Railgun. her role in the story was later expanded as well as the release of the A Certain Scientific Railgun anime series and manga, making her a main heroine of the science side and the main heroine of the series second only to Index.
She is the third ranked Level 5 esper in Academy City, and is nicknamed the Railgun due to her signature move. Touma coined the nickname Biri-Biri (ビリビリ A Japanese onomotapoeia imitating the sound of electricity?) and whenever the two meet he usually calls her that, even after his amnesia
APPEARANCE
Mikoto has chestnut brown hair and is often seen wearing a small hair clip. Her eyes are the same color as her hair. She is also shown have a complex regarding her chest, feeling inferior when compared to girls with bigger bust sizes. She also wears a school uniform, with light brown sweater over a white blouse and a grey skirt. She is also known to always wear shorts under every skirt and dress she wears.
PERSONALITY
To most people, she is considered a 'proper lady' (ojou-sama or お嬢様), but in reality, she's short-tempered, prideful, and has an improper attitude with some slight tomboyish tendencies and insecurities- a fact few people know of. Despite this, she is generally friendly and easygoing, and Saten Ruiko and Uiharu Kazari comment on how they are shocked to find that compared to other Level 5's, she doesn't look down on lower-level espers at all. This is probably because she was originally a level 1 esper and became a level 5 esper through very hard work.
Often times she shows an incredibly childish, selfish, competitive side and even slight tsundere tendencies along with confused affections when taunted by her rival, Touma. To add to this, childishness, Mikoto has an inclination towards cute things, most specifically, Gekota and Kirugumar merchandise. She also likes frog merchandise only if it features Gekota. When she realizes that a stuffed animal another person is carrying is just a regular frog, she immediately loses all of her interest in the stuffed animal.
She also has a fear of bugs, as shown in episode 6 of To Aru Kagaku no Railgun.
She has a keen sense of justice, demonstrated by her frequent involvement in the crime-fighting body, Judgment, and her resolve is unshakable as shown when she was willing to lose in a fight against Accelerator on the first move to prove the Sisters Project wrong and save her remaining 9969 sisters (Tree Diagram predicted that she would die in the 128th move). She secretly likes cute things, especially Gekota (a popular frog mascot), and is easily embarrassed. She often goes to Green Mart to read manga for free in her spare time on Mondays and Wednesdays. She's also good at playing the violin and teaches Uiharu how to play in the Volume 12 of the Light Novel. Furthermore, according to Kuroko, Mikoto naturally acts as a leader, and becomes the center of attention by everyone, yet she cannot mingle with those people regardless of being the center. She states that Mikoto is at the top and defeats her enemies, but she cannot avoid making more enemies at the same time. Moreover, she states that the most important to onee-sama is someone she can feel on the same level as her.
Though she doesn't admit it, her mother pointed out that Mikoto is bad with house work.[citation needed]
Mikoto has been depicted as been quite smart as she was stated to be the 8th ranked student in Tokiwadai, a school that is meant to create world leading talents and thus deals with a very advanced curriculum. Furthermore she as been shown to easily solve problems meant for Kamijou Touma who courses a school rank higher than her, though it should be noted that Kamijou's school doesn't pursue the same Academic excellence that Tokiwadai does.
It was showed that Mikoto had intended to take the trial enrollment into Touma's school during the Ichihanaran Festival, which futher showed how strong her feelings for Touma is. However she immediately got interfered during the progress by her rival in reputation in Tokiwadai School, Misaki.
