Kinuhata Saiai

Kinuhata Saiai is a member of ITEM being led by Shizuri Mugino.

Profile
Introduced in volume 15 along with her teammates. She's also introduced in the side story "Toaru kagaku no railgun" where she stopped Nunotaba Shinobu from hacking into the Misaka Network.

After the events of the 15th volume she's with Hamazura and Rikou after their boss was supposedly killed. She's later hunted down by Stephanie Gorgeouspalace.

Personality
Despite being a powerful Psychic she's one of the most mellow out of the group, not a screw-up like Frenda, and not frightful as her leader, Mugino. She also enjoys bad movies and teasing, Hamazura in particular because of his reaction to anything sexually suggestive.

Ability
According to Teitoku Kakine, Saiai is a leftover from Project Mayday of Darkness whose aim was to create a personal version of Accelerator's ability by using a similar pattern of ability operation. This is done by referencing the cognitive patterns of Accelerator himself in order to optimize the personal realities of certain espers taking part in the experiment. Though the details are not mentioned, she only succeeded in creating a low-level self-defense capability. Her ability was the Level 4, which she uses to control the nitrogen in the atmosphere and create a few centimeters of nitrogen barrier she could use to attack and defend. Like Accelerator's AIM vector shield, the primary function of her ability is to create an armor of super-compressed nitrogen around her, she fights a sniper in volume 15 and Academy city's special sniper rifle is shown to have no effect on her other than knock her back a little. Because of her ability, she carries around a small amount of nitrogen for use.


 * Introduced in Volume 15; also appears in SS2 and Volume 19.
