Konoe Nagisa

Konoe Nagisa (近衛汀), formerly Takebayashi Nagisa (武林汀), is a student of Ninoude High, who appears in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. She was one of the adopted daughters of Takebayashi Family.

Appearance
In her first encounter with Ruri, Konoe had unkempt dark hair and heavy-lidded eyes.

Background
At some point in the past, she was adopted by the Takebayashi Family alongside multiple others, to be sent to Academy City with the goal of at least one adoptee entering Tokiwadai and obtaining the school's Majesty title (and the alleged position on the Board of Directors it was supposed to promise). Her level wasn't high enough to meet Tokiwadai's minimum requirement, Level 3. After the Tanrei Chemicals incident and Takebayashi Yayoi's arrest, the Takebayashi family went bankrupt and she was taken in by a branch family, her name being changed from Takebayashi Nagisa to Konoe Nagisa.

First Year Arc
At some point late in the year prior to the main story, Shin'enkouji Rurikakesu approached Konoe for information, calling her by her previous name. She initially pretended to be someone else using her ability and tried to flee when Ruri wasn't fooled but was tripped by her ability. She acquiesced and went with Ruri to an abandoned building, with the two unaware that they were being watched.

On being questioned by Ruri about the recent company takedowns, Konoe denied being behind Tanrei's downfall or avenging Yayoi, stating that while she didn't mind her, the adoptees were rivals and they had no obligation to Yayoi, though she added that the younger ones really seemed to like her. Their conversation were then interrupted, first by Misaka Mikoto and Kessai Kiyoshi who had secretly followed hoping to Ruri's Judgment work, and then by an armed group after Konoe, who shot at her legs as she attempted to flee.

Abilities
Konoe Nagisa's ability allows her to change her face by physically tugging her facial muscles.
