* ActionGirl: She has slightly violent tendencies, and is ranked third among the Level 5 Espers.

* [[BigBrotherInstinct Big Sister Instinct]]: Loves the Sisters as though they really ''are'' her siblings, and would go to hell and back to protect them.

** DespairEventHorizon: She comes dangerously close to this, becoming a [[EvilLaugh little]] [[TalkingToThemself bit]] unstable towards the end before [[DeathSeeker being driven into suicidal tendencies]] for causing the Sisters' suffering. Touma snaps her out of it.
* BroughtDownToBadass: During the Sisters arc, she's been going around trashing facilities for several days without eating or sleeping and is completely exhausted.

* CutenessProximity: Frogs, especially a mascot named "Gekota", so much so she thinks she sees a real-life version of it in the form of ''Heaven Canceler'', of all people.
* DistaffCounterpart: Has often been compared to a young-and-cute female version of {{Magneto}}.

* EvenTheGirlsWantHer: Much to her chagrin.
* [[spoiler:FailureIsTheOnlyOption: All her attempts to stop Level 6 Shift are squashed by Academy City's administration before Touma lent a hand.]]
* {{Flight}}: When she's over a body of water, she performs hydrolysis on the water particles so she can propel herself and fly.
* GlassCannon: She´s one of the most powerful characters in the Toaruverse [[spoiler:not really though]], but when Touma had his hand in hers to shut down her electric powers and had his other hand raised, she closed her eyes in fear and nearly started crying, as he himself [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] that it´s hard to hit someone with a face like that.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: Kuroko finds out, much to her delight, that Mikoto's panties share the same "thumbs-up bunny" logo that the T-shirt she was given as a present has... [[TooDumbToLive then she just had to sing that aloud]]. This is perhaps the reason Mikoto wears ModestyShorts.

* HonorBeforeReason: She has a big problem with asking others for help.
* HotBlooded: More so than the comparatively laid-back Touma.
* HypocriticalHumor
** She makes fun of Touma for losing a 2000 yen bill to that evil vending machine, but in her first year she lost a ''10000'' yen bill to it, which is why she feels so justified in kicking and shocking it.
** She gets mad at Touma for always calling her Biribiri instead of her name, but she never uses his name either. He's always 'you' or 'that guy.'
* IAmNotLeftHanded: First, she can release ''a lot'' more electricity than she normally does, it's just that she typically holds back to avoid killing people. Second, she can use metal objects other than coins for her railgun attack, and the larger the object, the farther it can travel (since her range is due to the object vaporizing from air friction).
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold
* LastNameBasis: Virtually everyone refers her as Misaka.
* LimpAndLivid: Accompanied by furious shaking whenever she is about to go ballistic on Kuroko for her latest act of immature stupidity.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Is constantly left out of Touma's adventures.
* MegatonPunch: The most common method to stop a clingy Kuroko.
* MistakenForGay: When Kuroko met Mikoto's parents, acting her usual perverted self towards Misuzu (who thinks it's towards Mikoto), with the latter lampshading that her daughter may be lesbian.
-->'''Misuzu:''' "Mikoto, I didn't know you swung that way."
-->'''Mikoto:''' "''No I don't!''"
* ModestyShorts: Trope Picture. Much to [[PsychoLesbian Kuroko Shirai's]] dismay.
* MundaneUtility: She can use her electrical powers to cook.
* NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast: She's call the Railgun and is a Level 5. What did you expect?
* NoGuyWantsToBeChased: Well, Mikoto is a girl, but the chaser is female. In any case, Kuroko's clingy, perverted and creepy behavior clearly gets on Mikoto's nerves while she's friendly and generous to everyone else not named Touma. And unlike Touma, poor Kuroko isn't getting the tsundere treatment but rather the VitriolicBestBuds treatment.
* NoSell: An electric field around her prevents the Queen of Tokiwadai from tampering with her mind. Presumably, this also means that she's immune to other brainwashing and telepathic abilities.
* ObliviousToLove[=/=]WhatIsThisThingYouCallLove: She's actually oblivious to her ''own'' love. It takes her until [[spoiler:Volume 16]] to realize that she likes Touma.
* TheOjou
* OneeSama: To Kuroko and a legion of admirers.
* OnlySaneMan: Is rumored to be the only sane Level 5. However, this may be because some of her less savory hobbies are intentionally kept quiet, specifically in order to promote her image as the unofficial face of Academy City.
* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: Kuroko gets extremely worried whenever Mikoto ''doesn't'' zap or reject her.
* OutOfFocus: In the ''Index'' series, where, despite often being billed as a main character, she hasn't been very plot relevant since the Sisters Arc.
* {{Polyglot}}: It isn't brought up too often, but the narrative makes it clear that she's fully fluent in at least English and French, in addition to her native Japanese. [[spoiler:It proves useful when dealing with the French-speaking magician Cendrillion.]]
* PsychicStatic / NoSell: Her perpetual electromagnetic field renders her immune to Shokuhou's mind manipulation.
* RedOniBlueOni: The Red to Touma's Blue.
* RequiredSecondaryPowers: She's explicitly noted to be immune to electrical attacks when a girl tries using a taser on her. If she doesn't fry herself, what good is a taser going to do?
* TheRival: In the Index series her rival is Index for Touma's affections. In the Railgun series her rival is Shokuhou Misaki the Queen of Tokiwadai, the other level five at Tokiwadai.
* [[SelfMadeMan Self Made Girl:]] Mikoto climbed all the way from Level 1 to Level 5 through hard work, but [[spoiler:this is also subverted when it was revealed that Academy City's higher-ups can predict an esper's development.]]
* ShrinkingViolet: Occasionally when around Touma.
* ShockAndAwe: The nature of her abilities. She's called "Railgun" for a reason.
** ConvectionSchmonvection: Averted in ''Railgun'' Episode 12 where, against an opponent deploying a barrier that nullifies electric shock, Misaka uses the massive amounts of heat generated by her lightning to ''melt the thing''.
** CursedWithAwesome: Has a constant electrical field around her and, because of it cats won't go near her.
*** PowerIncontinence: Whenever she gets angry she usually short-circuits an entire block.
** LightningCanDoAnything
*** ExtraOreDinary: Can use her lightning abilities to control magnetism and therefore control metal. She can even use iron sand to make a [[WhipSword Whip]] [[ChainsawGood Chainsaw]]!
*** HollywoodHacking[=/=]{{Technopath}}
*** SelectiveMagnetism
** WaveMotionGun: Her railgun, full stop.
*** FinishingMove[=/=]LimitBreak: Her railgun was called as such a few times.
*** MoneyToThrowAway: Her Railgun uses coins which she can launch at three times the speed of sound using her electricity.
*** WeaponOfChoice
* ShownTheirWork: Unlike most of the {{Technobabble}} in the series, Mikoto's railgun is actually surprisingly plausible. The effects shown fall into ArtisticLicense a bit, but an MIT physics graduate found that the numbers we're given add up realistically.
* ShutUpHannibal: Delivered to [[spoiler:Therestina]] via railgun.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: To her mother.
* {{Shorttank}}: And one who is quite embarrassed to show any sort of girlish behavior at that.
* StalkerWithACrush: Although at that point the crush part was debatable, Mikoto did follow Touma quite excessively (including once chasing him around for a whole night).
* SwissArmySuperpower: Normally, you'd considering generating electricity to be a fairly limited power. However, it's proven quite flexible.
** She can of course zap you directly.
** While based pretty solidly in physics, the author makes a point of noting that a resistor is only worth so much against electricity: That energy has to go somewhere, meaning it turns into ''heat'' instead.
** She can manipulate current in order to create a railgun in the air and fire small objects with it, coins being her favorite. This is the source of her nickname
** Electric current running through her body makes her immune to mind reading, mind control and electric attacks.
** Control of electricity equals control of electro''magnetism'' apparently, so she can can control metal to make weapons and shields or walk on surfaces that have metal in them. This could be a wall, or it could just as easily be something that's magnetic but moving far too quickly for a normal person to stand on [[spoiler:like a plane wing.]]
** Being able to control electricity also makes her a supremely capable and quick hacker, even of military grade equipment with far more security than our own.
** She never does it herself, but states that through the use of bioelectricity you can form a network of a large number of minds, which is the center of at least two incidents she's involved in.
** She can redirect attacks that are not electricity based but work on an atomic level, such as Meltdowner.
** She can put out jamming frequencies, though apparently it's something of a brute force solution that jams ''all'' local frequencies.
** Finally, she passively generates electricity at all times, which functions as a sort of personal radar. It's impossible to launch an attack from her blind spot because she doesn't ''have'' a blind spot.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: The tomboy to Kuroko's girly girl.
* TomboyWithAGirlyStreak: She wears shorts under her skirt, and when allowed seems to prefer to do away with the skirt altogether. She's a bit violent and seems to enjoy a friendly fight. She's also a complete sucker for cute childish gekko items, and she likes large stuffed animals.
* TriggerHappy: In the first episode of ''Railgun S'' she zaps a bunch of guys that had been chasing Saten (all at once) who were confronting Kuroko and Uiharu. She then reminds Kuroko and Uiharu the shop they want to go to will close soon ''then'' she says "By the way, who were those guys?"
-->'''Kuroko''' Couldn't you have asked that ''before'' you shocked them, OneeSama?
* {{Tsundere}}: Type A towards Touma. [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Kiyama]], of all people, actually lampshaded it.
* UnknownRival: For Touma. Since his memories were destroyed he doesn't remember beating her the first time.
* UnstoppableRage: [[spoiler:While destroying the facilities involved in Level 6 Shift Project (especially in the case of one she attacked after she found out Tree Diagram had been shot down, ruining her plan of hacking it to save her sisters).]]
* WeirdnessCensor: She already met several magicians and saw spells performed on a few occasions, but each time she either attributes it to esper powers or some other scientific explanation. This is justified due to Academy City's abundance of espers, as well as lack of adequate explanation to her. The one time someone did, they gave up before they even got to the point because Misaka asked a question while still trying to frame it from a scientific viewpoint.
* WorldOfCardboardSpeech: In ''New Testament'' Volume 6, when she explains why she's helping Touma [[spoiler:to her opponent, the Valkyrie Brunhild Eiktobel.]]
--> [[spoiler:You don’t need a good reason to save a friend. If you want to save them, then save them. …I know someone who kept saying those stupid things even when he was driven to the brink of death, and he really did save over 10,000 people in the end. And that idiot that saved so many people is trying to save someone today like always. I know I can’t stop him. No matter how much I don’t want him to do anything dangerous, seeing him off with a push to the back is the sign of a good woman!!]]
* WrestlerInAllOfUs: One of her methods to stop a clingy [[PsychoLesbian Kuroko]].
* YouAreNotAlone: [[spoiler:When she properly reunites with Touma in ''New Testament'' Volume 2, she says this to him. WordOfGod states that she's now "entering the fight", meaning she's going to involve herself with Touma's adventures with the Magic Side. Sadly, she got dumped in the very end of ''New Testament'' Volume 3. Of course it didn't stop her from helping him in ''New Testament'' Volume 6.]]

[[folder:Kuroko Shirai]]
!!Kuroko Shirai
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-KurokoShirai_391.jpg
->'''Voiced by:''' SatomiArai (Japanese) and Alison Viktorin (English)
Mikoto's underclassman in Tokiwadai Middle School, a Level 4 Esper, and member of Judgment. She has an obsessive crush on Mikoto, who she calls "OneeSama" ("Sissy" in the dub), and is on the constant lookout for a chance to... get close to her (which Mikoto rarely allows, let alone appreciate).
----
!!Provides examples of:
* AbhorrentAdmirer: Zigzagged depending on her clinginess and Mikoto's tolerance level.
* AlphaBitch: Her attitude at times.
* AmusingInjuries[=/=]SlapstickKnowsNoGender: It seems [[Manga/CityHunter Ryo Saeba's]] problem also applies to ''female'' perverts.
* ArbitrarySkepticism: Does not believe things that contradict Academy City's Power Curriculum, like Gemstone espers, Imagine Breaker, or Level Upper. She eventually learns Level Upper is real.
* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking
* AwesomenessByAnalysis: To teleport, she has to make calculations on factors like mass, volume, vector, etc. Also her fight against the thug that could create illusions.
* BackToBackBadasses: With Mikoto ''and'' [[spoiler:[[RivalsTeamUp Mitsuko]].]]
* BadassAdorable[=/=]LittleMissBadass: Besides her power, she also knows martial arts like aikido and can easily take down grownup thugs.
* BarelyThereSwimwear: Her outfit in ''Railgun'' Episode 13 shocked everyone by how ridiculously small it was.
* BunnyEarsLawyer: Yes, she is completely obsessed with Mikoto. But she's also an experienced fighter who is skilled in the detective/law enforcement required for her job.
* CatchPhrase
-->"I'm/We're from Judgement!"
-->"OneeSama!"
* ChewingTheScenery: And SatomiArai is having a ''whale'' of a time playing this lovable psycho!
* ClingyJealousGirl
* CryCute: PlayedForLaughs as a RunningGag every time Mikoto gives her either the cold shoulder or the jolt.
* ADayInTheLimelight: The Remnant arc in the ''Index'' series (Volume 8 in the novels / Season 2 Episodes 6-7 in the anime).
* DemotedToExtra: In the ''Index'' series. While she was never that prominent in the first place, Kuroko's role has been reduced to occasional cameos, and once went an entire 15 volumes between appearances.
* ElectricTorture: How Mikoto usually rewards her attempts to make out with her, and always PlayedForLaughs.
* EroticDream: Often gets them of Mikoto.
* ExpressiveHair: Her pigtails.
* FilleFatale: A bit too sexually aggressive for a ''thirteen-year-old'' girl for comfort...
* [[ForgotAboutHisPowers Forgets About Her Powers]]: Despite her often ingenious uses of her power, she sure gets punched in the face a lot for someone who can ''teleport instantly''. Justified by the fact that teleportation relies in incredibly complex 11th-dimension calculations, which isn't an option when faced with situations requiring instinct and reflexes.
* GirlishPigtails
* HardHead[=/=]{{Headdesk}}[=/=]UseYourHead: She would already be a vegetable were it not for this trope, considering how she ''normally'' [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jyIG3N43YR0 deals with]] [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW5CapRMkGQ stress and/or]] [[http://i.imgur.com/nyHrjnW.gif frustration]].
* HandicappedBadass: She was confined to a wheelchair for a while. Then she teleports ''with the wheelchair'' and uses it '''as a weapon'''.
* HypocriticalHumor: After Kiyama [[InnocentFanserviceGirl started undressing in a cafe]], Kuroko tries to stop her. When Kiyama explains that there are no men in the cafe, Kuroko retorts that there may be women with "twisted tastes" watching. Guess who's she's talking about...
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Needles that she teleports into her opponent's clothes to pin them down or into '''them''' to cripple them. Also her wheelchair.
* JapanesePronouns: Uses "watakushi", the more formal form of "watashi", as a first-person pronoun, which is linked to her being an {{Ojou}}.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She does not seem to understand that "no-means-no" when it comes to her molesting behavior towards the decidedly-straight Mikoto, but when Mikoto is down she's worried enough that she'll even support Mikoto hanging out Touma despite her usual jealousy. Nothing else seems to cheer her up, so if she has to hand her OneeSama over to 'that troglodyte' so be it.
* {{Kawaiiko}}
* LargeHam: One gets the feeling that Kuroko is a graduate of the KennethBranagh school of acting, replete with flowery speeches and constantly MilkingTheGiantCow.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Chapter 49 of the manga.
* LeeroyJenkins: As a Judgment trainee, she had a habit of charging at the bad guy without thinking. Konori scolded her for it and it nearly got everybody killed when she faced the bank robber who had the ability "Equal Speed". She occasionally reverts to this behavior.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Has no idea of the Sisters or Mikoto and Touma's adventures. [[spoiler:She eventually discovers the former.]]
* LovableSexManiac: There's something very funny about her attempts to get frisky with Mikoto. In fact, upon seeing Mikoto's HotMom, she [[BuxomIsBetter already got fixated on the latter's assets]], complete with [[RedEyesTakeWarning glaring red eyes]], and probably would have [[ThanksForTheMammaries taken a grab]] real fast were she not bound to a wheelchair after a particularly brutal fight with [[spoiler:Awaki.]]
* MeaningfulName: Her name literally means "Black Girl White Well", highlighting the contrast between her cutesy facade and perverted personality. Mikoto even [[LampshadeHanging points this out]] in ''Railgin'' Episode 2 before beating her senseless.
-->'''Mikoto:''' "I'm gonna fry you as black as your name!"
* MomentKiller: Amazingly, besides the usual examples, Kuroko is this to herself. Many is the occasion where she has a heartwarming moment with Mikoto... only to have her feelings get the better of her and abruptly launch herself at Mikoto, setting herself up for a beatdown. She also has a habit of ruining Mikoto's moments with Touma.
* MurderTheHypotenuse: PlayedForLaughs regarding Touma, even after he saved her from [[spoiler:Awaki.]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Will take any opportunity to try to kiss or grope Mikoto.
* NotQuiteFlight: Can use her teleportation to move above ground level which becomes useful in the first episode of ''Railgun S'' when the bad guys try to flee in a helicopter.
* TheNudifier: She can teleport someone's clothes off them. See PowerPerversionPotential.
* {{Ojou}}: Her ''highly'' refined and ladylike speech-pattern fits this trope perfectly. On the other hand, she possesses some decidedly '''un'''ladylike tropes.
* [[OneManArmy One-Girl Army]]: Due to her ''very'' intelligent use of her already flexible power.
* PantyThief: Her collection of really kinky panties contains only one normal pair, stolen from her "[[OneeSama onee-sama]]".
* PetitePride: Shows no angst whatsoever about being the least endowed amongst her friends, though that doesn't stop her from being [[HelloNurse stunned with admiration]] at the sight of [[StupidSexyFlanders Mii in a swimsuit.]]
* PowerPerversionPotential: Which she uses to her full advantage.
* PsychoLesbian: A rare fundamentally good and ''heroic'' example of this trope.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Were it not for her perverted streak, Kuroko is ''the'' picture of a responsible, by-the-book cop in Judgment.
* SchoolgirlLesbians: Although it plays a minor part in ''Index'', it's cranked up a notch in ''Railgun''.
* SingleTargetSexuality: Even though she's lesbian, she only expressed interest in both Mikoto and her mother. There's a reason Mikoto keeps the existence of the Sisters a closely guarded secret. That aside, she is also a deeply sentimental girl whose heart is easily warmed by the ''heterosexual'' romance of people she comes to care for or respect, like the Dorm Mother in ''Railgun'' Episode 18.
* StarMakingRole: For SatomiArai. It even landed her a "Best Supporting Actress" trophy for the 2010 Annual Voice Actor Awards.
* StealthHiBye: Does the bye part then the hi part in the first ''Index'' opening.
* TeenGenius: Can do 11th dimensional vector calculations.
* TeleportersAndTransporters: Her Esper power, "[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Teleport]]".
** TeleFrag: By teleporting one object over another, she can displace matter occupying the old space. She once tore down a building by teleporting sheets of glass into the support pillars using this feature of her esper power.
* ThirdPersonPerson: On occasions.
* TomboyAndGirlyGirl: With Mikoto; she's the girly girl.
* TooKinkyToTorture: To be fair she had just (accidentally) taken an aphrodisiac, which was probably responsible for her reaction. It's still not really too out of character for her though.
-->"Oh, the [[ElectricTorture whip]] of OneeSama's love!"
* UnknownRival: Touma is oblivious to how much she wants to get him out of the way so she can have Mikoto all to herself.
* VerbalTic: "Desu no".
* VocalDissonance: There's a good reason Kuroko landed SatomiArai her best supporting actress trophy, as it showcases her astoundingly ''flexible'' vocal range. Kuroko's voice is able to jump from sweet and girly, womanly and sultry to '''coarse and masculine''' at the drop of a hat.
* {{Yandere}}: PlayedForLaughs, in relation to both Mikoto, whom she admires, and Touma, whom she detests.

!!Ruiko Saten
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-RuikoSaten_6320.jpg
->'''Voiced by:''' KanaeIto (Japanese) and BrinaPalencia (English)
Uiharu's friend and classmate, a Level 0 from Sakugawa Middle School, and another member of Mikoto's quartet.
----
!!Provides examples of:
* AdaptationalAttractiveness: In the anime, her cup size tends to go up a couple grades when her shirt comes off.
* AscendedExtra: While she has a major role in the Level Upper arc of the original manga, she's eventually shifted out of focus once that arc ends. In the anime, she's one of the lead characters, and is even inserted into scenes like ''Railgun'' Episode 1, where she was absent in the manga (she didn't even made her debut until the graviton bombings in Chapter 4).
* AudienceSurrogate: The only unambiguously "normal" human in the entire franchise.
* BatterUp: Occasionally carries an aluminum baseball bat.
* [[spoiler:BlowYouAway: Her ability while under Level Upper.]]
* [[spoiler:ChekhovsGunman: It's ''because'' she's a Level 0 that she’s immune to the paralyzing [[BrownNote "Capacity Down"]] sound wave, allowing her to save her friends from Telestina's clutches in ''Railgun'' Episode 24.]]
* CoolBigSis: To Uiharu.
* [[spoiler:DespairEventHorizon: After she uses Level Upper and realizes she'll fall into a coma soon afterwards.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo[=/=]ContinuityCameo: Appears in the end credits of the first season of ''Index,'' despite having never appeared in the novels.
* [[TheEveryman The Everygirl]]
* FootFocus: The anime shows a lot of closeups of her feet.
* GenkiGirl: She tries to be one.
* HeroicBystander: In ''Railgun'' Episode 1, she saves a little boy from being kidnapped by a bank robber who has powers. [[spoiler:Then, in the finale she smashes the PowerNullifier Telestina is using to incapacitate Mikoto, saving the day.]]
** As of the premiere of ''Railgun S'' she may be heading for ChronicHeroSyndrome.
* IJustWantToBeSpecial: The poor girl just wants an ability, even if it's only Level 1.
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: Chapter 49 of the Manga.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Has no idea of the Sisters or Mikoto and Touma's adventures.
* [[spoiler:MyGodWhatHaveIDone: After she and her friends use Level Upper, and one of them falls into a coma.]]
* NamesTheSame: Her surname is the same as a very different character in {{NEEDLESS}}, which led to some [[http://danbooru.donmai.us/post?tags=saten_ruiko+saten_%28needless%29&commit=Search funny fanart]].
* [[NiceGuy Nice Girl]]
* NoSenseOfPersonalSpace: Loves to flip Uiharu's skirt just to see her panties, especially if they're in public.
* OddFriendship: She seemed to have developed this with [[spoiler:Xochitl.]]
* PluckyGirl
* RapunzelHair
** FlowerInHerHair
** LongHairIsFeminine
* SailorFuku: Her school uniform.
* [[spoiler:ShutUpHannibal: Stops Telestina's gloating of humanity's supposed worthlessness by smashing the [[BrownNote Capacity Down device]] paralyzing her esper friends with one mighty swing of her aluminum baseball bat.]]
* StarMakingRole: One of KanaeIto's first few roles that shot her up as a noteworthy voice actress.
* StepfordSmiler: In Academy City, life is ''hard'' for anyone who doesn't [[PowerLevels "measure up"]].
* TooDumbToLive: She was borderline during the the Railgun SS. [[spoiler:She followed Mikoto into what was clearly an off-limits area thinking it was a casino, where she nearly gets killed by Olive, and then there was the issue with Xochitl blackmailing her. She didn't piece together that those attacks were real until later and decided to investigate on her own, gets caught, and was about to be [[MakeItLookLikeAnAccident killed]] when Xochitl saved her at the last minute.]]

[[folder:Kazari Uiharu]]
!!Kazari Uiharu
http://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/300px-Uiharu_Kazari_3924.png
->'''Voiced by:''' AkiToyosaki (Japanese) and CheramiLeigh (English)
Kazari is Kuroko's friend, schoolmate at Sakugawa Middle School, and colleague in Judgment as a Level 1 esper, famous for wearing a headband made of flowers on her head (and sometimes a surgical mask in the manga). Usually shy and humble, her personality can quickly change to overly excited, especially if it concerns the life of the upper-class (particularly anything involving Tokiwadai).
----
!!Provides examples of:
* ACupAngst: When Kuroko comments that her body is "underdeveloped", she gets upset.
* {{Adorkable}}
* AscendedExtra: Much like Saten, she's not really all that important outside the first story arc in the original manga. In the anime, her importance is significantly boosted.
* BadassBookworm: She’s not a warrior in the ''least'', but her computer expertise makes her just as formidable, if not more so than, a dozen warriors in the right situations. She is in fact so good she can defeat even electrokinetic espers when it comes to hacking, including Mikoto.
** In the SP volume, she [[spoiler:jumped onto a moving truck from an overhead bridge, then deployed a parachute she was wearing as a drag brake in order to slow it down! The deceleration was so extreme that the metal handrails she was holding on to were yanked clean off the truck.]] Kuroko and Misaka, watching, state that she's in Judgment for a ''reason''.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: She seems to edge into a state like this whenever she's in front of a computer.
* CutenessProximity: Around Misuko's pet boa constrictor Ekaterina. Amusingly, the snake scared everybody else.
* TheCutie
* DidYouJustFlipOffCthulhu[=/=]DefiantToTheEnd: In Volume 15 of ''Index'', [[spoiler: she taunts [[Characters/ACertainMagicalIndexLevel5Espers Kakine]], even as he is torturing her, presumably in order to buy time to let Last Order escape. It would have [[KillTheCutie ended very badly]] for Uiharu if not for Accelerator's subsequent BigDamnHeroes.]]
* EarlyBirdCameo: In the end credits of the first season of ''Index''.
* [[FlowerInHerHair Flowerbed In Her Hair]]: Whenever people ask about the flowers, she'll say she doesn't know what they are talking about. They are a headband of artificial flowers, and she wears it so often that she forgets about it.
* FluffyTamer: Everyone else took one giant step back upon meeting Mitsuko's snake, Ekaterina. Uiharu stayed behind ''to coo over it''.
* GetAHoldOfYourselfMan: In ''Railgun'' Episode 23, she suffers a HeroicBSOD when [[spoiler:Telestina's true identity is revealed and she takes the children that were experimented on]], causing her to break down crying until Kuroko slaps her across the face and asks her...
-->'''Kuroko:''' "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion When are you gonna stop crying?!]]"
* IllGirl: In the manga, where she suffers from constant bouts of the flu.
* {{Kawaiiko}}
* [[spoiler:KillTheCutie: Narrowly [[AvertedTrope averted]] in Volume 15, when she refused to tell Kakine where Last Order was even as she is being crushed to death. Accelerator comes in time before Kakine can deal the finishing blow. And as an illustration for ''New Testament'' Volume 1 shows, she has apparently gotten better since.]]
* LaserGuidedAmnesia: In Chapter 49 of the Manga.
* LittleMissSnarker: Towards Kuroko.
* LockedOutOfTheLoop: Has no idea of the Sisters or Mikoto and Touma's adventures.
* MissionControl: Often plays this role, usually with Kuroko on the other end.
* MundaneUtility: Her power is useless in combat, but it's pretty handy for everyday life, such as keeping food warm, as well as advanced scientific purposes.
* NiceGirl
* PlayfulHacker
* PluckyGirl
* RedBaron: Known as the "Gatekeeper" among hackers.
* SailorFuku: Her school uniform.
* SweetTooth: Even more than the others, but [[RunningGag circumstances often conspire]] to prevent her from actually eating them.
* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: As the only named Level 1 of the series so far, it's no surprise her ability seems unimpressive. Her power is stabilizing the temperature of everything she touches -- in other words, she's a human thermos.
