Seike Taroumaru

Seike (清ケ) is a character introduced in Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator. She is a powerful esper that can control the coefficient of friction and is a member of Scavenger.

Appearance
Out of all the members of Scavenger, she is the one who has the most normal clothes, swearing a simple seifuku or sailor school uniform and a short skirt. She has long black hair and a bored look in her eyes.

On her tongue is a stylized tattoo or mark of skull with horns and chains.

Personality
She is much more low-key than the other girls, and as such doesn't speak much, befitting her bored appearance. Despite this, she can be still be quite mischievous as shown when she held out her tongue towards the DA operator of the Tarantula mecha.

Like all members of Scavenger, she does her job of killing people and destroying things without remorse or guilt, willing to eliminate those who get in the way.

Toaru Kagaku no Accelerator
When Nakimoto Rizou realizes that DA has become a liability he contacts Scavenger's liaison to have them eliminate the group. The liaison wakes them up and announces to them via an intercom that they have a job to do.

They are later seen again razing the entirety of DA's headquarters in sector 3's warehouse district, apparently killing many people in the process. Despite this, some members of DA has still gotten away from them. Seike note to the other members that that the place they destroyed is not the only target location. She comments that there is enough for everyone and asks if they saw the person carrying a bag big enough to carry a girl inside. They later track the surviving DA down using the Predator ability.

Scavenger later comes upon a small contingent of Anti-Skill. Seeing that they are in the way, they kill them as well, with Seike crushing a man's throat with her bare hands, as her group taunts the Anti-Skill still battling DA over the phone.

Scavenger later arrives at the height of Anti-Skill's battle with the remnants of the DA contingent that Scavenger hunted down. Her first move is to destroy one of the Tarantula mecha's String Juicer discs. After an opening salvo of explosive paper airplanes on the Anti-Skill and DA by one of her comrades, Seike and the Scavenger with the flu mask are the ones to face off against the Tarantula mecha. Much to the Tarantula operator's horror, after Seike holds out her tongue, that they are before the Nakimoto's "cleaners". Enraged, the DA operator of the mecha attacks them. Seike however simply uses her powers to prevent the mecha from moving, surprising the man. Seike hears and says that her power isn't Pychokinesis but the ability to control the coefficient of friction within a meter of herself. She states that the machine can't break a wall of air with the coefficient of friction set at max, and that any material that hit it will melt as the energy is converted to heat. After much urging from his comrade, he is forced to make a retreat away from them with his mecha.

Abilities
Seike's ability is to control the coefficient of friction within a meter of herself, like Amime, though obviously in a much higher level. When setting the friction of an area at maximum, even a 120 tons mecha is unable to move through the "wall". Apparently, any attempt to move through this wall where the coefficient of friction is at the maximum converts the energy of that attempt to heat. As such, if a bullet moves tries to move through the wall, it will only heat up and melt. Indeed, Seike boasts that any material on earth will melt first before passing through the wall.

Also, it is unknown how, but Seike can also break a grown man's neck with her bare hands.
