Misaka's Bio
Anime Relations:
Toaru Kagaku no Railgun
Misaka was a good girl in her upbringing, she never fought with her parents, unlike her siblings. She never ran away from home, unlike her siblings. Most importantly, she never had the power of shadows, unlike her brothers. While that may seem like a good thing in anyone’s eyes, her family were masters of shadows, and shunned Misaka along with Hikari for both being abnormal. While Hikari trained with their brother Kurokage, Misaka trained by herself. Her training might have been effective and Misaka could have been a threat later on in life if she had trained with a master of using elements. That was not the case, however.
Then came the day that Hikari fought her parents, she couldn’t scratch them, but she showed that she was powerful indeed. Misaka thought that was a way for someone to help her with her power. She was destroyed by her parents in the fight, and her parents didn’t even see her potential, so they sent her away from home by then. It was then that Misaka found a sword in her parents’ basement, Arbiter. She was shocked to see that a shadow family kept a lightning weapon in their home, but thought nothing of it, and took it with her.
Misaka wandered from place to place, eventually scoring a job at a fighting dojo, where she trained with other people, who did not seem to mind her power of lightning. Eventually, Misaka received a letter, it stated that she had the talents necessary to join Shiroku, a school for people like her. Quitting her job, Misaka packed up and traveled to the school, not knowing her siblings were waiting.
"You're no child of mine, get out of my home!" He had said, like he did every damn day, only today was different. Misaka had challenged her own father to a fight just like her sister did... Only Misaka lost. Misaka wasn't strong, she knew that, but why did she have to lose at this? Why did she have to be weak right now? Misaka winced and wondered why her siblings weren't there right now... Did they not care?
Misaka shook her head as she got up from the floor, bruised and beaten. She didn't dare look the one that she called a 'father' in the eyes.
She didn't like him....
She never did...
And he felt the same....
Everyday was the same. He would berate her and beat her for not having the power her own family controlled, and she would get up and not say a thing, just leaving the area. Today had been different, Misaka was sure she would win today, but she didn't, and now she would face a bigger price than before. She would leave.
Misaka shakily got up from the floor and opened her mouth to say something, when she felt an intense pain from her cheek, then her whole body as she fell to the floor again. Her father had slapped her, just like always, and Misaka was never prepared for it, "I said... Get out of my home, you are not welcome here. Don't even bother packing up anything, it didn't belong to you anyways..."
Misaka got up and limped across the floor, not even feeling her father's eyes pore into her, he didn't think she was good enough to even deserve that. Misaka got to the door of the room, opened it, and slammed it behind her, limping faster out of the house. The dark night loomed around her as she raced from the house, towards the woods. As soon as she got 50 feet from the house, into the forest that surrounded her home, Misaka fell back against a tree and sat down, hard, onto the ground. She felt tears come into her eyes as she bawled, cursing the fact that she was born into this world, with the powers her own father hated.
Where were her siblings? They always cared for her, why didn't they help her in her greatest time of need? Misaka wiped the tears from her own eyes, she knew the answer... She had fought her father without them even knowing, but why did she feel mad at them for not coming to her aid? Misaka was selfish and she knew it. They weren't coming for her, their father would forbid it. Misaka felt like she didn't want to even call the man she once knew her father anymore, if she even wanted to call herself a Hagane... Maybe she was better off this way.
Misaka wiped the tears from her eyes and steadily got up from where she was sitting. Breathing heavily, Misaka leaned against the tree, wincing. The pain from the fight was still fresh in her mind. Misaka closed her eyes and took a deep breath, she could do this, she could start her own life and leave behind the one that she hated. The Hagane life was not for her, and Misaka would throw it away just to get away from the evil tyrant of this land... the one she used to call father, Goodbye: Kuro, Kuma, and Hikari. You three will always have a special place in my heart... If we ever meet again, I hope you will turn out to be good. Better than that man, and better than me...
Misaka sighed, but set her eyes straight on the forest that surrounded her... If she wanted to survive in this cruel world, she needed some sort of weapon to keep weirdos at bay... She looked back towards the mansion, the place she used to call home, now just a distant memory in her mind. If she wanted a weapon, that would be the best place to look. The man who lived in that mansion would not expect Misaka to return so quickly, so his guard would be down against her. Misaka gulped, then limped back towards the house, using the shadows that the Hagane family liked so much as cover. One step at a time, as the wind howled through the trees, Misaka only took one step at a time. She was being extra careful, as not to stir the beast within the labyrinth she was approaching. Misaka kept close watch on the windows, as to ensure that nothing could see her. She couldn't see them, but she also couldn't see anything in this forest. It was already night time, but Misaka simply did not have the accuracy to see in the dark, it was only Average.
Finally, Misaka made it to the house. She took another quick look to ensure no one was inside. All she was was the lobby through the over sized window she was peeking through. There were the armor stands that housed gleaming and shining armor that was only for show. Misaka took yet another deep breath and continued to the door. As she placed her hand on it, she knew it was too good to be true, and she was right. Turning the knob did nothing, and it was stuck in placed. Locked... Misaka should have known that man wouldn't let his guard down so easily. There was no other way into the house, so Misaka almost turned around and left, but then she remembered about the basement. The basement she was never allowed to go in, none of her siblings were allowed in there. That never made sense to Misaka, as the two brother usually got what they wanted just by asking. Maybe that was a good place to check as any, and it wasn't as if she was getting in through this way anyways...
Misaka quietly tiptoed her way around the back of the house, jumping at any sound and flinching when she heard that man's voice through the windows... "Hikari, I wanted to say, I am sorry for the way I treated you all these years... I know you are a great girl, so please bear with a man like me!" Misaka rolled her eyes in disgust, that man didn't like her now, he just respected her innate power. If Hikari didn't do so well against her parents, she would have been shamed as well. It disgusted Misaka that a man like that was so successful, putting others down for being so weak... Well maybe Misaka was lucky that she was weak, if she was actually strong, she may have ended up just like her fath- that man...
Shaking her head, Misaka walked away from that window, blotting out the rest of the conversation. She did not want to hear any more, since she knew it would just be more pointless flattering. Misaka felt her way around the house as the night's moon shined upon her. It was a full moon, not very good for sneaking, but at least it got rid of some shadows. If Misaka had to fight one more shadow user, she would flip out. Fortunately, she did not meet any resistance as she made her way around back, to where the basement door was. Misaka saw a keypad right next to the door and typed in "742369". Misaka had seen that man type in the code, it was surprising he was so lax in entering the code. Normally he knew where his flesh and blood were, but not then, as he had input the code while Misaka had watched, without him knowing. Misaka never really questioned it, so she didn't care. The door opened with a silent but audible "Hiss" as darkness appeared to Misaka, Here goes nothing... She thought, as she walked down the steps....
It was dark, so Misaka chanced a spark to flow through her hands. It barely lit up the stairwell, but it was enough to see where she was going without tripping over herself. Misaka put one foot in front of the other as she walked down the steps to the basement... The stairs seemed to go on forever, with an odd lack of cobwebs. Misaka thought that it would be filled with things like Spiders and the such, but apparently this place was more well kept than that. Misaka kept going for a few more minutes, all the while thinking, Does this go on forever? Did I miss some secret door? but then she saw the floor approaching her. Misaka sighed with relief, finally, she didn't have to use the stairs anymore. Misaka set foot on equal ground as she looked around, she couldn't see 5 feet in front of her, but that didn't matter as the lights suddenly switched on, revealing only a circular room and a pedestal in the middle.
Misaka jumped, if the lights came on, either she had done something to turn them on without thinking, or someone knew she was in here. She had to get out, NOW. Misaka turned around, but a flash behind her caught her attention. Misaka jumped again and got into a ready position for fighting, but only saw the pedestal, which was now lit up, and had a sword on top of it.
The sword handle was black, with a golden ring around it, seeming to generate its own light. The blade itself was blue, and seemed to be cackling a bit with what seemed like energy...
Misaka tilted her head to the side and walked closer to the pedestal. It seemed to light up as she got near, and once she was within 5 feet, the sword started cackling with electricity. Misaka jumped back, and the cackling stopped. Misaka was even more confused, Is this what I think it is?... Misaka thought warily, as she stepped closer. Once again, the sword started cackling again, and this time Misaka did not back off. Instead, she reached out for the sword , which was now positively glowing with lightning. Misaka pull the sword from its pedestal and swung it once, Lightning coursing in its wake, "Perfect!" She stated out loud, not even caring if anyone heard her.
It did not occur to Misaka for a second why her fath- that man - would have a sword imbued with the power of lightning, as he shunned his very own daughter for having a power not of his family's. What secrets did this man hide? Misaka did not wonder, not even for a second. Not even as she clipped the sword through a harness she found lying near the pedestal, talk about taking up space and not being clean. Misaka nodded to herself as she checked to make sure everything was ready and she did not leave a thing out of place. Satisfied, Misaka nodded once more before thinking, I have got to get out of here, and fast!
Misaka took the stairs again, and for some reason they only seemed to last only a minute. Probably adrenaline, probably because Misaka was running as fast as her legs could carry her up the stairs. The stairs were now lit up as Misaka ran up them, I got to hurry. I got to get out of here. I can't be captured by that man. Only God knows what he'll do to me. Misaka ran to the top of the stairs, breathless, as she took a quick look around to check if anyone was there. Nobody was. Misaka was confused to find no security coming to take her down, but then she remembered, the Hagane's didn't have security. They relied on their own skills to mercilessly beat down any intruders who crossed their territory. The shadow magic would crawl up their skin as the intruder screamed for mercy, but he was given none. So Misaka ran, the sweat dripping down her eyes as she threw her hands across her sweating face in an attempt to wipe off the sweat. Misaka was really expecting to find a shadow ninja, one who would bring her back to the man to be tortured....
So Misaka was pleasantly surprised to find that wasn't happening, which meant one of two things: Either Misaka had set off the lights herself, and her passive electricity just powered on the lights, or the evil man was planning something much more sinister for her. It would only be evident once she reached the end of the territory. It would give her hope that she had made it out, and that is when the master of the house will strike, laying waste into Misaka's greatest fears all the while permanently scarring her mind.
Misaka shuddered, she hoped that second option would not come into light. If it did... Misaka shut that out of her mind for now, because right now, she needed to hurry, and hopefully escape the plague that would assault her mind should she be captured. Misaka ran off then, as to escape the bad thoughts.
Twigs snapped and stray branches smacked her face as she ran through the forest, all the while thinking of pursuit. Thinking of who would be chasing her at this very moment. Thinking about the painful death that awaited her if she was captured.
But none of those things actually happened. Misaka reached the gate to the end of the property without incident. As she climbed over the wall, she looked around, no shadowy figures pursued her, no body in sight. Misaka waited, only a moment, before dropping off the other side of the wall, running off into the horizon, where no Hagane could touch her. She was free....
Misaka was free.
Misaka was sitting behind a desk in her uniform required for the Dojo. The chair she was sitting in was connected to the desk itself through a wire. Misaka felt herself being drained little by little, work days for normal people felt like this, but for Misaka it was literally true. She was powering the generator that was connected through a wire frame in the desk. The chair was comfortable for Misaka, but only because she had to sit in it while outlets took electricity through her willing fingers.
Months ago, Misaka had been wandering the streets, trying to find a place to stay. After she had run away from the Hagane household, she had lived on the streets, surviving only by scrounging for food and doing side work for people. Most people seemed to think that Misaka was along the lines of a child prostitute, and she had many offers that made her think those people were disgusting. She never accepted, of course, and if they tried to get touchy-feely with her, she backed them off with her sword and powers, which seemed to grow steadily every month. When she had her powers at the Hagane household, she could only manage a spark to light up the area, but now she could actually power things with electricity, and she found out how to enhance her sword's power by imbuing it with lightning. Well, more lightning that is.
Eventually, Misaka found the dojo. They were people that actually respected her and her powers, and wanted her to join the dojo. They said they would keep her there for free, but she would have to supply the dojo with power once a month. Misaka thought it was a pretty good deal, so she said yes.
At the dojo, Misaka was trained to harness her power better, now she knew how to use lightning bolts, and her imbuing and battery power were stronger. She also learned to glide on power lines, which was something fun that Misaka liked to do once in a while, to the jealousy of her fellow dojo-mates.
Fast forward to where Misaka is sitting right now, and she is contently sitting in the chair that was draining her electricity. The electricity she used during that whole day would go to power the dojo for a month, so the Masters thought it was very cost effective to keep Misaka there for free, all the while helping her control her power. A shuffling sound was heard after Misaka had closed her eyes...
"Misaka." Said a certain someone, who Misaka recognized as one of the other students, "You have mail, and I think it is an important piece of document." Misaka had opened her eyes at the and tapped the desk in front of her, signifying she wanted her fellow student to set the paper down. If Misaka reached for the paper while the student was still holding it, and while Misaka was charging the generator, then the student could very well be shocked, which has actually happened on multiple occasions. So it was better to play it safe rather than sorry.
The student set the letter on the desk in front of Misaka and bowed before leaving. Misaka reached over to the envelope and took a look at it before deciding to open it...
Misaka's eyes opened in shock, what was this?! Somebody sought her out to accept her to this school? This was something important, enough to stop what she was doing and contact the sensei of the dojo.
Misaka was about to get up from her chair when something else fell from the letter from Shiroku Highschool...
"Misaka,
I know it's been a long 5 months since you left your family, and I think you may consider us family now, but your school has contacted me as well as you. I think you should leave for the school as soon as possible, as to not distrub the other students with your goodbye. I will tell them you went your separate way. I know this is a hard choice, but it may be best for you, and I know you will find happiness wherever you go.,,
- Sensei"
Misaka closed her eyes as she felt tears coming from it, the sensei had considered her family. That was something she had not heard in a long time, so the tears came quick and true. It was a full 5 minutes before Misaka's resolve strengthened. She didn't need anymore family, she was her own family...
Packing up her things, Misaka quickly left the dojo, only pausing to turn and look at the dojo once, before turning around again and leaving to start her new life at Shiroku....
Misaka made it to the school to find out her siblings were in fact there, but this was short lived, as they all left the school to their own needs. Misaka never did see them again, not even when Kurokage came to the school later and completely ignored Misaka, even when he saw her in "The Game"
"The Game": Misaka was a direct participant in "The Game", which was conducted by the GM, later to be revealed that it was Yuuki all along. Misaka came into the game with only the thought to betray everyone in the game, in a hope to get the GM to notice her and so Misaka could personally take out the GM. This turned out to be useless, as she never told anyone her true plans and it only resulted in what she thought was her killing another student, Six. Misaka went through the rest of the game without knowing that the student she had betrayed had died. She only found out later, when the game almost ended, that Six had died in the Prisoner's Cell. This thought that she had killed another student haunts her for days....
The Railgun: After the events of the game, Misaka returns to her room only to find out that she was moved to a room with another participant of the game, Kasumi. Kasumi discovered that her boyfriend, Aaron, left the school, only for him to return the next day, but Kasumi was devastated that he had left. Misaka had the bright idea of exercising off the grief of Kasumi losing her boyfriend, by suggesting that they fight each other in the VTR. Kasumi had agreed and they both set off to fight.
At first, it seemed like Misaka would lose the battle, but she unleashed an inborn ability that no other person in the school had unlocked yet, making her power on par with even a teacher's. This Railgun would decide her battles, if she killed her opponent with it, then she won, otherwise she would lose, as Misaka's natural ability is low enough to warrant people calling her weak without her EX-Burst, but with her Railgun, Misaka can turn the tides of battle, turning a shutout loss, into a complete and total Victory.
Then came the day that Hikari fought her parents, she couldn’t scratch them, but she showed that she was powerful indeed. Misaka thought that was a way for someone to help her with her power. She was destroyed by her parents in the fight, and her parents didn’t even see her potential, so they sent her away from home by then. It was then that Misaka found a sword in her parents’ basement, Arbiter. She was shocked to see that a shadow family kept a lightning weapon in their home, but thought nothing of it, and took it with her.
Misaka wandered from place to place, eventually scoring a job at a fighting dojo, where she trained with other people, who did not seem to mind her power of lightning. Eventually, Misaka received a letter, it stated that she had the talents necessary to join Shiroku, a school for people like her. Quitting her job, Misaka packed up and traveled to the school, not knowing her siblings were waiting.
Update: (1/11/2016)
A Glimpse of the Past
"You're no child of mine, get out of my home!" He had said, like he did every damn day, only today was different. Misaka had challenged her own father to a fight just like her sister did... Only Misaka lost. Misaka wasn't strong, she knew that, but why did she have to lose at this? Why did she have to be weak right now? Misaka winced and wondered why her siblings weren't there right now... Did they not care?
Misaka shook her head as she got up from the floor, bruised and beaten. She didn't dare look the one that she called a 'father' in the eyes.
She didn't like him....
She never did...
And he felt the same....
Everyday was the same. He would berate her and beat her for not having the power her own family controlled, and she would get up and not say a thing, just leaving the area. Today had been different, Misaka was sure she would win today, but she didn't, and now she would face a bigger price than before. She would leave.

The Hagane life was not for her, and Misaka would throw it away just to get away from the evil tyrant of this land... the one she used to call father, Goodbye: Kuro, Kuma, and Hikari. You three will always have a special place in my heart... If we ever meet again, I hope you will turn out to be good. Better than that man, and better than me...
Misaka sighed, but set her eyes straight on the forest that surrounded her... If she wanted to survive in this cruel world, she needed some sort of weapon to keep weirdos at bay...

5 Months Later
Misaka was sitting behind a desk in her uniform required for the Dojo. The chair she was sitting in was connected to the desk itself through a wire. Misaka felt herself being drained little by little, work days for normal people felt like this, but for Misaka it was literally true. She was powering the generator that was connected through a wire frame in the desk. The chair was comfortable for Misaka, but only because she had to sit in it while outlets took electricity through her willing fingers.
Months ago, Misaka had been wandering the streets, trying to find a place to stay. After she had run away from the Hagane household, she had lived on the streets, surviving only by scrounging for food and doing side work for people. Most people seemed to think that Misaka was along the lines of a child prostitute, and she had many offers that made her think those people were disgusting. She never accepted, of course, and if they tried to get touchy-feely with her, she backed them off with her sword and powers, which seemed to grow steadily every month. When she had her powers at the Hagane household, she could only manage a spark to light up the area, but now she could actually power things with electricity, and she found out how to enhance her sword's power by imbuing it with lightning. Well, more lightning that is.
Eventually, Misaka found the dojo. They were people that actually respected her and her powers, and wanted her to join the dojo. They said they would keep her there for free, but she would have to supply the dojo with power once a month. Misaka thought it was a pretty good deal, so she said yes.
At the dojo, Misaka was trained to harness her power better, now she knew how to use lightning bolts, and her imbuing and battery power were stronger. She also learned to glide on power lines, which was something fun that Misaka liked to do once in a while, to the jealousy of her fellow dojo-mates.
Fast forward to where Misaka is sitting right now, and she is contently sitting in the chair that was draining her electricity. The electricity she used during that whole day would go to power the dojo for a month, so the Masters thought it was very cost effective to keep Misaka there for free, all the while helping her control her power. A shuffling sound was heard after Misaka had closed her eyes...
"Misaka." Said a certain someone, who Misaka recognized as one of the other students, "You have mail, and I think it is an important piece of document." Misaka had opened her eyes at the and tapped the desk in front of her, signifying she wanted her fellow student to set the paper down. If Misaka reached for the paper while the student was still holding it, and while Misaka was charging the generator, then the student could very well be shocked, which has actually happened on multiple occasions. So it was better to play it safe rather than sorry.
The student set the letter on the desk in front of Misaka and bowed before leaving. Misaka reached over to the envelope and took a look at it before deciding to open it...

Misaka's eyes opened in shock, what was this?! Somebody sought her out to accept her to this school? This was something important, enough to stop what she was doing and contact the sensei of the dojo.
Misaka was about to get up from her chair when something else fell from the letter from Shiroku Highschool...
"Misaka,
I know it's been a long 5 months since you left your family, and I think you may consider us family now, but your school has contacted me as well as you. I think you should leave for the school as soon as possible, as to not distrub the other students with your goodbye. I will tell them you went your separate way. I know this is a hard choice, but it may be best for you, and I know you will find happiness wherever you go.,,
- Sensei"
Misaka closed her eyes as she felt tears coming from it, the sensei had considered her family. That was something she had not heard in a long time, so the tears came quick and true. It was a full 5 minutes before Misaka's resolve strengthened. She didn't need anymore family, she was her own family...
Packing up her things, Misaka quickly left the dojo, only pausing to turn and look at the dojo once, before turning around again and leaving to start her new life at Shiroku....
Update (10/11/2015):
Misaka made it to the school to find out her siblings were in fact there, but this was short lived, as they all left the school to their own needs. Misaka never did see them again, not even when Kurokage came to the school later and completely ignored Misaka, even when he saw her in "The Game"
"The Game": Misaka was a direct participant in "The Game", which was conducted by the GM, later to be revealed that it was Yuuki all along. Misaka came into the game with only the thought to betray everyone in the game, in a hope to get the GM to notice her and so Misaka could personally take out the GM. This turned out to be useless, as she never told anyone her true plans and it only resulted in what she thought was her killing another student, Six. Misaka went through the rest of the game without knowing that the student she had betrayed had died. She only found out later, when the game almost ended, that Six had died in the Prisoner's Cell. This thought that she had killed another student haunts her for days....
The Railgun: After the events of the game, Misaka returns to her room only to find out that she was moved to a room with another participant of the game, Kasumi. Kasumi discovered that her boyfriend, Aaron, left the school, only for him to return the next day, but Kasumi was devastated that he had left. Misaka had the bright idea of exercising off the grief of Kasumi losing her boyfriend, by suggesting that they fight each other in the VTR. Kasumi had agreed and they both set off to fight.
At first, it seemed like Misaka would lose the battle, but she unleashed an inborn ability that no other person in the school had unlocked yet, making her power on par with even a teacher's. This Railgun would decide her battles, if she killed her opponent with it, then she won, otherwise she would lose, as Misaka's natural ability is low enough to warrant people calling her weak without her EX-Burst, but with her Railgun, Misaka can turn the tides of battle, turning a shutout loss, into a complete and total Victory.
