Background
She has no problem with her looks, and she joined the Mikagami Clique because of her friends.

First Year Arc
When Asakura, Urui Aika and another friend were attacked by an unknown assailant while walking together, Urui used her esper ability to protect her friends, but one of the girls sustained a head injury. Not long afterwards, Asakura and Urui found Kessai Kiyoshi, one of the new Hasekura Clique members in a back alley, and attacked her, suspecting she was the perpetrator. As they cornered her, their joint attack was interrupted by Misaka Mikoto, Kessai's roommate, and then a passing-by Ruri before Mikoto could fight them. They argued and attempted to justify their actions to the two in turn, but were refuted and forced to back down.

Abilities
She is a Level 3 Keratin Control esper, who can modify keratin on the surface of her body. The horns and claws created by her power, as well as her hardened skin, are tough enough that if a truck hit her, it would be the truck that would be damaged.
