Hikarizawa Megumi

Hikarizawa Megumi (光澤恵味) was the antagonist of Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index SS.

Appearance
Hikarizawa is a high school aged girl with long, tied-back black hair. She wears a thin surgical gown with a cardigan over her shoulders and has a name tag around her skinny ankle. She is surrounded by and connected to various life-support machines, the size of mini-fridges found in hotels and hospitals.

Personality
Hikarizawa desires to enjoy everything the world has to offer, both good and evil. Possessing considerable curiosity, she will immediately want to try a new thing out on seeing it for the first time. She finds it infuriating to be denied the chance to try something new, but also finds fun in thinking a way around the obstacles which are preventing her from doing so. She has no reservations or remorse for causing harm while enjoying evil.

Background
In the past, Hikarizawa sought to experience both good and evil, but faced the problem of not being able to be both at the same time, risking losing the foundation of good she had built up if she tried villainy. Infuriated at having things she wished to try off-limits to her, she eventually thought of a way around the problem by becoming an anonymous bomber.

Souyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index SS
Around the time that Kuroyoru Umidori carried out a delivery job, Hikarizawa had claimed two further victims, first a pedestrian on the path Kuroyoru was walking along and then someone in the kitchen or office of a café when was seated on a table outside with Hamazura Shiage, before attempting to make Kuroyoru her next victim but failing.

Late at night, Kuroyoru returned to the burger shop she was outside when she was attacked, and confronted Hikarizawa inside.

Abilities
Hikarizawa is an esper, but her ability and level are not known. She is connected to a multitude of life-support devices, which can sustain her life even when shot five times. She can also use this medical equipment for harmful applications, remotely wielding saws, drills, pliers, lasers and other instruments as weapons, and using a powerful electromagnetic signals (possibly from CT or MRI machinery) to detonate the gunpowder in a gun or lithium batteries in a phone, the latter being the method she used in her bombings. Various attached devices can also gather data from her surroundings and she was capable of quickly analyzing this data after Kuroyoru Umidori made use of magic to use it for herself, though as an esper she immediately suffered the backlash from the rejection reaction.
