Enjou Kasumi

Enjou Kasumi (炎乗香炭) is a student of Tokiwadai Middle School who appears in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. She was a member of the Hasekura Clique, one year before the main story.

Appearance
Enjou has light black hair, tied into a shoulder length pigtail with light colored ribbon. She wears the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform. She carries multiple ribbons underneath her clothing.

Personality
Enjou has a temper, illustrated by how she was unable to hold her anger and nearly using her ability when someone cursed her family. However, Hasekura noted that she dislikes her temper and often feels bad after such outbursts.

Background
Enjou is a descendant of a local gentry family that had fallen in status a long time ago but made a comeback in the recent years due to a stoke of luck. Enjou's father bought a watch for her when she got accepted to the Tokiwadai Middle School.

First Year Arc
At 8AM, Enjou revealed to her friend that she lost her watch which her father brought for getting accepted to the Tokiwadai. She and her family were cursed by Kazan'in because she didn't say hello to Kazan'in. Enjou was unable to hold her anger and used her esper ability to threaten Kazan'in, though her friend stopped her. Later in that day, she was suspected of being a perpetrator for attacking Kazan'in. She denied and said she was with a friend at the time.

Abilities
Enjou is a Level 3 esper whose ability involves ribbon control (リボン操作), specifically control of rope-like textiles. She is able to manipulate multiple ribbons from underneath her clothing. She can also increase the strength of the material, but the strength is inverse proportional to the surface area. Enjou is the only Tokiwadai student with this power.
