Sakuragi Naruha

Naru (ナル) is a character introduced in Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator. She is a powerful esper that allows her to manipulate paper and is a member of Scavenger.

Appearance
Naru appears a young girl that wears a variation of a maid and bunny costume, with thigh-high socks, detached cuffs, a maid headband, and a bunny tail at the back. Including her shoes, socks, and the umbrella she carries, the entirety of her costume is made of paper somehow made wearable by her powers.

Her hair is shoulder length, and below her left eye is a tattoo of a skull.

Personality
She is shown to be one of the more childish members of the group. She is described by one of her teammates that she has never seen Naru praise someone. Like all members of Scavenger, she does her job of killing people and destroying things without remorse or guilt, willing to eliminate those who get in the way. Moreover, she also hates teachers and believes them to be the source of evil in the city.

She also seems unconcerned with being exposed, as shown when she dons her "paper powered armor" that exposes much of her torso with only small pieces of paper covering her private parts.

Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator
When Nakimoto Rizou realizes that DA has become a liability he contacts Scavenger's liaison to have them eliminate the group. The liaison wakes them up and announces to them via an intercom that they have a job to do.

They are later seen again razing the entirety of DA's headquarters in sector 3's warehouse district, apparently killing many people in the process. Naru is overjoyed that their job is done despite the fact some members of DA has still gotten away from them, believing that the job is over once their target location has been destroyed. Seike tells her that the place they destroyed wasn't the only targets and notes a mysterious bodybag with a girl inside it that DA took with them. They later track the surviving DA down using the Predator ability.

Later showing their disregard for their targets and people who get in their way, they destroy a small contingent of Anti-Skill they meet along their way. Naru later taunts the Anti-Skill that tried to contact them and later unanimously agree to finish their job as quickly as possible. They arrive in great force with Naru using her ability on paper explains as bombs against both DA (and their Tarantula mobile weapon) and the Anti-Skill that were fighting near a tunnel. With both their hosts weakened, Naru is in the sidelines watching Seike stop the Tarantula in its tracks as it tried to flee. They all get on top of the downed machine where they find Estelle Rosenthal and Hitokawa Hasami save Misaka 10046, the girl in the bodybag.

Sensing the threat they pose, Hasami attacks and separates Naru from the group. Despite the increased strength and speed of the Huotou, Naru is unscathed thanks to her skills and ability. After Yomikawa Aiho arrives to aid Estelle and Hasami, they reject the Scavengers' offer to give Misaka 10046 to them in exchange for their safety. The Scavengers later decide to kill them all with Naru being the one wanting to do the deed.

Naru then creates a "battle armor" modeled after a bunny. Before she can engage them, she's interrupted by DA's Tarantula's pilot, who leaves his machine and tries to shoot them She blocks his bullets with her paper and criticizes Seike for not making sure she had killed him earlier. After Ya and her finish him off, Naru once again prepares for battle. Using her amor she easily beats Yomikawa, breaking her shield and sending her flying with a single punch, but she's stopped by Hasami when she tries to finish her with a stomp.

Naru holds the initial advantage in the fight, as she uses her control of paper to restore the armor as Hasami damages it and to skewer her with several paper darts. However, once again her attempt to finish the enemy with a stomp is interrupted, this time by Estelle improving Hasami's battle capabilities using a Gnome to manipulate earth. Because she keeps failing to destroy the earth armor with her suit and hammer, Naru receives her leader's advise to use an excavator to dig the armor and kill Hasami. Despite the increased power, Naru is unable to hit Hasami, as she is now slower than before now that she was using the excavator. Nevertheless, Naru follows her leader's orders and targets the weaker Estelle, forcing Hasami to block her excavator to protect her master. Just before she can kill the two, Accelerator appears and destroys the excavator.

After initially being overwhelmed by his appearance and having to save her leader from being crushed by the Tarantula's remains, Naru collaborates with her teammates for Scavenger's combination attack, using her paper to create an iron maiden to trap Accelerator and contain Ya's liquid thermite reaction after her leader had tracked Accel using her Predator power and Seike had immobilized him by removing friction around him. Naru was also the one to throw Seike at Accelerator and Ya's sphere into her iron maiden. However, to the horror of all Scavengers, Accelerator easily survives the attack. When Estelle mentions Accelerator's name the four girls finally realize who they are dealing with. Accelerator proceeds to asily defeat them one by one, taking out Naru by creating earth spears and piercing her bunny suit when carelessly attacks him in a rage after he had taken out Seike.

Abilities
Naru's Psychokinesis allows her to be able to freely manipulate paper into various forms and shapes. The properties of the papers she uses change as well to have the flexibility of cloth and the strength of hardened alloy - while ranked as a Level 3 when combined with her combat ability she has the skill of a Level 4. She can use it as bombs, cushions, clothes, an armor, shields, spears, darts, hammers, and even an excavator that Naru names Excavator Version. Creating an object as complex as the excavator requires a lot of focus and reduces Naru's speed.

Other abilities
She is also quite skilled in close quarters combat, able to dodge and counter the much more physically powerful Hitokawa Hasami, the Huotou.
