Oyafune Monaka

Oyafune Monaka (親船 最中) is one of Academy City's Board of Directors. Her daughter Oyafune Suama is a teacher at Kamijou Touma's school.

Appearance
Touma belived that she looked to be in her 50s or 60s she and was about two sizes smaller than him even while standing. In her first appearance she was rather heavily dressed with a coat folded over her bent arm and a short hand made scarf around her neck. When he commented about the scarf not fitting in place with a member of the Board of Directors she became defensive about it because it was made by her daughter.

Personality
As the general board of directors are regarded as a gathering of shitty bastards, at the top are shitty bastards who must die and good people who were regarded as the same with the former even though they work seriously. she stands out from them being possibly the only one of the Board of Directors that sincerely thinks about the students, as mentioned by various groups like ITEM and GROUP. Shiokishi a fellow member of the Board of Directors referred to her as someone that would go head on against a country just because of a child she didn’t know personally cried. No matter what kind of political techniques were used it could not stop her. If she has started to move now then we can only fight back using force

She asks him to follow her and he reluctantly agrees, when they reach a children's park he asks what she's planning. She tells him that she wishes to talk to him about the current situation that's happening around the world and tries to persuade Touma to step in and solve the rioting caused by the Roman Catholic Church's "supernatural powers", since Aleister told the world that the "Magic" of various Churches are just rival esper research institutions. This is because the Board of Directors decided to not intervene, as it would be to Academy City's advantage to let the conflict drag on and sell weapons to the rest of the Science side to protect them, thus increasing their funds.

After explaining all this to him Tsuchimikado Motoharu then appears and asks if she finished discussing things with him. She tells him yes and that it's his turn to take care of the rest, he pulls out a handgun from the buckle from his belt and shoots her in the gut with it causing her to fall on the ground. Before Touma could loose control of himself Monaka stops him and tells him that she arranged for Tsuchimikado to shoot her and that her vital spots were missed slightly. This was done to prevent retribution(such as attacking her daughter) from either the other Directors or Aleister, she hired to act as the one sent to punish her, and let herself be wounded by Tsuchimikado's gunshot. Later events show that she has recovered from the gunshot wound.
