Shokuhou Misaki

Shokuhou Misaki (食蜂操祈, Shokuhō Misaki) is a mysterious Level 5 student in Tokiwadai Middle School that goes under the alias "The Queen" which refers to her having the largest faction within Tokiwadai Middle School.

As one of the two Level 5s of Tokiwadai, she and her followers have a rivalry with Misaka Mikoto and her fans. She never shows herself in public, instead using her followers or mind-controlling people to act as her representatives when talking with individuals. It is hinted that she has a strong dislike for public appearances, and this is why whenever the school needs a "face" to promote certain public events, she and her faction will simply stand aside and let Mikoto hog all of the attention and responsibilities.

Appearance
Misaki appears as an elegant beauty of Tokiwadai Middle School, sporting long straight hair of a light color. She wears a pair of white gloves and stockings, both adorned with lace. She is also seen holding a shoulder bag with a star adorned on the middle.

Personality
Coupled with her cute face, Misaki exudes a seemingly playful and childish personality, as seen with her interaction with Mikoto. It is unknown whether this is her true personality or just a front.

She can be described as being similar to Laura Stuart.

Clique Arc

She is finally formally introduced in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, where Mikoto is already aware of her status as well as displaying her animosity towards her.

She later personally introduces herself to Mikoto as a girl with long hair, wearing a pair of white gloves and stockings, both adorned with lace.

Chronology (Toaru Majutsu no Index)
Misaki has never made an appearance in Toaru Majutsu no Index but is often referenced throughout the series for her role as a powerful telepath, and is always referred to in the third person or in her alias, The Queen of Tokiwadai.

Index Arc

 * Main article:Index Arc

Kamijou Touma first references her during the Index Arc. While trying to convince Kanzaki Kaori to let Academy City help Index, he tells her that there's a Level 5 at Tokiwadai that could extract people's memories by just touching them.

Acqua of the Back Arc

 * Main article:Acqua of the Back Arc

In Volume 16, Mikoto mentions Shokuhou (by her epithet "The Queen") for the first time, recalling that the Queen is the best mind controller in Academy City. Mikoto first considers asking her to fix Kamijou Touma's memory loss problem, but quickly dismisses the idea since she isn't on good enough terms with her, and asking her for help would be trusting the health of a friend to someone with which she has an indirect rivalry.

Abilities
Her ability is Mental Out, a very powerful ability involving the human mind which includes reading other people's memories, changing a person's personality by means of brainwashing, telepathy, memory elimination, amplification of will, reproduction of thought, and transplantation of emotions, all of which require her to touch her target.

Mikoto's eletric barrier which surrounds her body, prevents Misaki from using her powers on her.

Trivia

 * Along with the 6th Level 5, her identity is one of the most speculated in the series by the fandom. This is brought on by both series' characters referencing her, and Mikoto's apparent lack of trust towards her.
 * She is referenced by Shirai Kuroko in the final moments of the first Toaru Kagaku no Railgun OVA, where she states that there are two Level 5s Tokiwadai Middle School.
