Lin Lihua

Lin Lihua (林麗華) is a student of Tokiwadai Middle School who appears in Toaru Kagaku no Railgun. She was a member of the Sha Clique, one year before the main story.

Appearance
Lin has dark-colored hair and wears the Tokiwadai Middle School uniform.

First Year Arc
Lin Lihua and Ouyang Qian accompanied Lily when she went to take Shokuhou Misaki for questioning and used their abilities against her when she refused to come with them, but the three were swiftly knocked out by Hokaze Junko once she arrived. After having their injuries bandaged, they reported back to Sha Danshan, who was annoyed at them doing this without telling her anything.

The three girls were together again around the time that rumors that Hasekura and Shokuhou were cooperating were being circulated (with Hasekura's trusted aides assigned to guard Shokuhou and reinforce the lure's plausibility).

When the Mikagami and Sha cliques reinforced the Hasekura clique in a raid on the headquarters of Montgolfier, the culprit behind the attacks that instigated and aggravated the clique conflict, Lin was involved in the resulting battle with Montgolfier's operatives and their prototype weapons.

Abilities
Lin is a Level 4 esper capable of controlling the growth speed of plants, being particularly good with the vines of climbing plants. Her special move is causing an explosive production of pollens to create a sandstorm-like pollen storm, though she has to wear her specialized mask in order to stay inside the storm. She appears to clasp her hands together when using her ability.
