Shutaura Sequenzia

Shutaura Sequenzia (シャットアウラ＝セクウェンツィア) is a character original to the Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie. Under the orders of Ladylee Tangleroad, who was given power by Academy City's Board of Directors, she responds to the need to protect a Level 0 named Meigo Arisa from Stiyl Magnus and the rest of the magic side's attacks.

Appearance
Shutaura is a girl with a rather slim physique, has long straight black hair and black eyes. She is often seen wearing the uniform of the Black Crow Unit, which is a tight-fitting bodysuit with gray, white and red details.

Personality
She is the type of person that uses her power and gadgets to complete her mission. Due to her past she's come to not believe in the possibility of miracles. She has also lost the ability to hear music in an accident and has shown a high degree of dislike whenever she hears the lack of tone becoming irradiated at it. Touma described her as being "the immovable class rep type".

Background
Shutaura was a young girl riding on the Orion space plane when one of its engines malfunctioned causing the plane to crash down towards Academy City. She's one of the 88 survivors of that crash costing the life of the pilot, her father. During the event, a miracle happens. According to Aleister Crowley, her "wish" for a miracle to happen on that plane changed her perception, which coincided with everyone else's wishes to be safe, inducing a distortion powerful enough to interfere with the laws of causality. The power split the girl into two, which is that of Meigo Arisa, and changed the fates of many, but left her unable to hear music. The death of her father however was known, but instead kept it a secret to keep the illusion of Miracle 88 saving everyone's lives. This event made Shutaura embittered on the concept of miracles.

Ladylee later took her in and had her become the commander of the Black Crow Unit, and there her subordinates became ever loyal to her as they were "charmed" by her as she protected the city. She is under the employment of Ladylee in protecting Arisa as a part of her plot.

Shutaura had an Orion bracelet with her during the Miracle 88 which was broken in two, with the other half being taken by Arisa.

Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie

 * Main article:Toaru Majutsu no Index Movie

Based on the preview for the Toaru Majutsu no Index movie, Shutaura represents the offensive of the Science Side, in contrast to the magicians Stiyl Magnus commands under the orders of Necessarius.

Shutaura and her forces appear to stop Stiyl Magnus and the witches from doing harm to Arisa. Here she confronts Touma for the first time.

Shutaura later appears during Arisa's debut fighting off a mysterious stranger who set up bombs at the base of the mall where the event is happening. Touma later appears to help fight off the stranger only to discover his Imagine Breaker destroyed the stranger's arm. Then the stranger proceeds in detonating them causing debris to fall. Touma covers her from the falling debris being injured in the process.

Abilities
Earth Palette (希土拡張(アースパレット)) is Shutaura's Level 4 ability. A rare ability, Shutaura can store and release explosive energy through the use of rare earth elements. When utilized in battle, rare earth cartridges or discs are shot from a gun, mobile weapons (mechs), or can be thrown. Although the mechs can essay discs, only Shutaura can force the discs to explode when her wires pierce them and she uses her ability, though she seems to only need this as to require a connection with them as she can activate them without the need of the wires.

Although flashy, an individual disc does not hold enough much energy when used. A testament to this is Touma still standing after being hit directly by several of them and only accrued burns (though they maybe because the discs were smaller compared to the one use by Shutaura's vehicles.) This maybe the reason why several of the discs are used in unison.

In the movie, Shutaura's eyes glow as a visual indication that she is using her abiity.

Other abilities
Swift and agile, Shutaura is skilled in hand to hand combat, easily going toe to toe with one of Ladylee's Automatons. She is also very accurate, allowing her to pierce several moving discs at the same time in order for her to use the explosive power of her ability.

She is also apparently knows how to handle a handgun.

Character Art Designs
Shutoura's outfit was designed to look like a miniaturized version of a Powered Suit and an artificial muscle suit.

Haimura is also aware that she looks like Fukiyose Seiri, and feels regretful for it.
