Misaka 10032

Misaka 10032 (ミサカ 10032) is the 10032nd Misaka Mikoto clone, she was first introduced in Toaru Majutsu no Index and plays a relatively small role in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. Originally supposed to be killed in the 10032 experiment against Accelerator as part of the Level 6 Shift, she becomes the most prominent clone in the series after being rescued by Kamijou Touma, and is referred as Misaka Imouto (御坂妹) whenever they meet.

Background
Not much is known about her, though as a clone she was most likely produced a few months prior to her introduction in the story.

Appearance
She looks the same as Mikoto, although for emphasis, her eyes are drawn in a different way. Like all Sisters, Misaka 10032 wears goggles and blue-striped panties. At first, these are the only ways that Touma can tell a clone apart from Mikoto, who wears shorts under her skirt.

IN addition, she wears a necklace that Touma bought for her during volume 12 of the light novels.

Personality
Like all the Sisters, she had little emotion and never considered herself to be a living being until Touma saved her. She later develops an attachment to life, even protecting chocolate chicks from being eaten. She has fallen in love with Touma and gets territorial with him when Misaka Mikoto is around, even teasing her for not being honest with her feelings towards Touma.

Sisters Arc
She first appears before Touma while he was carrying the canned beverages he had gotten from a certain vending machine. After he trips on a tennis ball, she helps him pick them up and bring them to is dormitory. Touma confuses her for Misaka 10031 whom Mikoto took away to talk with, but she corrects him, saying she came from another direction.

After arriving at the Kamijou Residence, she discovers that Touma is living with Index and Himegami Aisa. She is suspicious at first, referring to it as a hobby, but he denies her accusations. Before leaving, Misaka 10032 helps Touma get rid of the fleas on Sphinx by electrocuting them and also advises Touma on how to get rid of the remaining fleas in his room.

The next day, Touma sees Misaka 10032 attempting to care for a cat, and she convinces him to carry the cat because animals don't like the electromagnetic fields produced by her body. During their walk, Touma has Misaka 10032 name to the cat, but he rejects all of the ridiculous names she comes up with. They stop by a bookstore to buy a reference book about taking care of cats. Touma, realizing that he can't bring the cat into the bookstore, throws the cat to Misaka 10032, telling her that true friendship is born if they surpass barriers (such as her electromagnetic field). She waits outside, but she senses Accelerator and is forced to leave the cat on the sidewalk for an experiment.

After leaving the store and finding her missing, Touma discovers the dead body of Misaka 10031 and mistakes her for Misaka 10032. However, when he returns to the scene after alerting police, he sees her carrying the dead clone in a body bag. He discovers that there are many clones of Mikoto, but is not told any information about the experiment.



The next evening, Misaka 10032 faces-off against Accelerator in the 10032nd experiment, and finds her thoughts wandering to her encounters with Touma. In the battle, she tries to take advantage of the windless night to suffocate Accelerator with ozone, but, he soon realizes this and counterattacks. However, Kamijou Touma stops Accelerator from finishing her off. She protests that she is merely a clone that can be created with a push of a button, but Touma tells her that she is the only Misaka 10032 in the world.

Touma is at first outclassed in the fight, but discovers that Accelerator is physically weak, and uses his street fighting abilities to attack him. However, Accelerator uses his powers to compress air into a plasma. Misaka Mikoto arrives on this scene, and realizes that disturbing the wind could disrupt the plasma ball. Mikoto begs Misaka 10032 to help protect "Touma's dream" of ending the experiment without anyone having to die. Misaka 10032 doesn't understand why Mikoto's words resonate strongly with her, but she agrees. Using the Misaka Network, she contacts the other Misaka clones in the city to spin the wind turbines, creating enough wind to disrupt Accelerator's attack. Thanks to their help, Touma is able to defeat Accelerator.

Misaka 10032 later visits Touma's ward where she touches his hand to her chest to measure his vital signs. To Touma's disappointment, he wasn't able to feel her breast because of his anesthesia. She tells Touma that the clones need special treatment to extend their lifespans, as their bodies were only supposed to last until their battles, but assures him that she and Touma will meet again. In the anime Misaka 10032 leaves before Mikoto's arrival and is last seen taking care of the black cat, but in the manga adaptation she is taken away by Mikoto after she discovers that she is willingly allowing Touma to touch her chest.

Three Stories Arc
Mikoto reveals that only 10 of the clones remain in the city and the others were sent out all over the world for their treatment. After Accelerator is shot in the head and is taken to a certain hospital, Misaka 10032 arrives to look out after Last Order. Heaven Canceler uses the Misaka Network as a way to compensate for Accelerator's lost brainpower after being shot, though only half of it could be replicated using the Misaka Network.

Remnant of the Tree Diagram
Misaka 10032 is later seen going to Touma's dormitory to ask for his help, despite her weakening health, after discovering that the experiment could be restarted again if Tree Diagram gets repaired. She gets him to the scene where Musujime Awaki is battling Shirai Kuroko. However, Touma only manages to save Kuroko, because Accelerator destroys the Remnant first. In their discussions over the Misaka Network, the clones seem unaware that Last Order is with Accelerator.

After the conflict, Touma sees her naked in an oval cylinder filled with liquid recuperating. She doesn't mind, but Index flies into a rage and bites Touma.

The Way of the Light and Darkness
The morning before Vento of the Front's attack on Academy City, Heaven Canceler is seen talking with the sisters regarding separate measurements for them, Misaka 10032, Misaka 13577, and Misaka 10039 agree that they only need to take one set of measurements since they share the same genes. However, they discover that Misaka 19090 has been dieting in secret, due to Heaven Canceler's suggestion that men, and possibly a certain high school boy, like slender women. Misaka 19090 attempts to get away, but the other clones jump on her.

Misaka 10032 later meets Last Order, who was locked out of Yomikawa Aiho's house. Last Order is envious of Misaka 10032's goggles so she steals them and runs off. Misaka 10032 responds by pursuing her with a submachine gun with rubber bullets.

In her chase for Last Order, Misaka 10032 accidentally bumps into Shirai Kuroko who mistakes her for Mikoto. She later meets Touma in the underground mall. After he confirms that she is a clone, Touma buys her a necklace to differentiate her from the other clones as well as Mikoto. Though at first upset that Touma didn't buy a ring for her (the Misaka Network recently discovered the significance of a ring on the left ring finger), she eventually accepted Touma's gift. Touma then feeds Misaka 10032, a reflex he adopted to placate Index, in a store that sells food modeled after animals. Touma buys a pack of food modeled after chicks, which Misaka 10032 mistakes to contain living animals. To her horror, Touma tries to eat one of them, so she electrocutes him.

Their scuffle is soon interrupted when Mikoto, who just finished her and Touma's cellphone registration, arrives. Mikoto wants to see the chicks that Misaka 10032 was holding, but Misaka 10032 tells her to have Touma buy some for her. After Mikoto argues with Touma and tries to electrocute him, Misaka 10032 asks Mikoto what she was doing in the mall. Mikoto answers that Touma lost a penalty game with her, and she has been dragging him around. However, Misaka 10032 concludes that Mikoto is not being honest to herself about her feelings for Touma. Misaka 10032 then hugs Touma's arm and shows Mikoto the gift she got in order to make her jealous. Then, Last Order suddenly shows up and latches on to Touma's other arm.

Misaka 10032 hands over her pack of chick-shaped food and orders Touma to take good care of it lest she beat him to death, before leaving in pursuit of Last Order again.

Abilities
Like all Sisters, she is an electromaster.


 * Electricity: Being a copy of Misaka Mikoto, she has the same abilities but only 1/20000 of the original, bringing her to level 2 or 3. However, as Touma stated, 1/20000 of 1 billion volts is still 50000 volts.


 * Radio Noise: A form of telepathy between the sisters, it links her up to the "Misaka Network". This allows them to share memories and experiences.


 * Weapons & Gear: She is wears a special set of goggles that enables her to see electron beams and magnetic field lines, because like all Sisters she can't perceive without aid. She is also trained in use of a sniper rifle and used a submachine gun while chasing Last Order in Volume 12.
