Melzabeth Grocery

Melzabeth Grocery (メルザベス＝グローサリー) is a character introduced in Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index.

Appearance
Melzabeth has short white hair and blue eyes. She wears a blue head band, a blue scarf white shirt and brown pants.

Los Angeles Arc
By December 26th, Melzabeth had developed a virus to disable the Logistic Hornets and had been cooperating with people from Academy City, however as Anglican and Academy City forces launched Operation Overlord Revenge to destroy R&C Occultics HQ in Los Angeles, the Logistic Hornets were used to manipulate meteorological conditions and enable Citrinitas's sand to swallow up the city's population, Melzabeth among them. However, she had ensured her daughter's safety and had managed to leave a few clues behind.

Although Melzabeth's rebellion failed, she had caught the interest of Anna Sprengel, with Citrinitas using her image in the events which followed in an attempt to frame her for the mass disappearance, so that she would be broken back into their service and left with no place other than R&C Occultics. At the same time, having met Helcalia, Kamijou Touma followed Melzabeth's trail and fought to prevent their family bond and dream from being trampled further. Although the virus was never used, the Logistic Hornets would ultimately reject commands based on what they had learned from Melzabeth.

With the defeat of Citrinitas, Melzabeth was freed from the sand and reunited with her daughter.

Abilities
An aerospace genius, Melzabeth played a key role in Space Engage's development of the Logistic Hornets, including the unique solution to the aerodynamical problem tied to the immense size of the aircraft, known as the Melzabeth Method (メルザベス・メソッド), utilizing an automatic system of receptors and armor scales, derived from the unconscious reflexes of the human skin and using data obtained from Melzabeth herself for aerial attitude control.

Melzabeth was also capable of devising a virus designed to infect and disable the Logistic Hornet via injection into the control server, hang gliding (from which her data was taken for the Logistic Hornets), and knows multiple languages.
