Shirai Kuroko

==Summary==
Kuroko Shirai is a resident of Academy City, a student of the prestigious Tokiwadai Middle School and the roommate of the #3 Level 5 Misaka Mikoto. Despite her obsession and devotion towards Mikoto , Kuroko is actually a member of Judgement, Academy City's student-based disciplinary committee that helps Anti-Skill keep peace in the city. She takes her job very seriously and honestly desires to help and save people with her esper power. Kuroko is a Level 4 teleporter who combines her teleportation ability and her martial arts skills to deal with criminals.
Kuroko is a minor character in the main novels. She takes a more important supporting role in the Toaru Kagaku no Railgun manga and related side stories, though she has been a protagonist of one of the Index novels, where she faces another Level 4 teleporter Musujime Awaki.

Weaknesses: Normal human weaknesses, teleporters are more vulnerable than other espers when taken by surprise or if they have their power calculations disrupted by things like pain or fear, can't teleport other Teleport espers.
Notable Attacks/Techniques
Teleport (空間移動 Kūkan Idō (Tereporto), lit. "Spatial Movement"): Kuroko is a Level 4 Teleport esper. Her ability allows her to teleport herself and/or anything she's touching a certain distance from her position. Like all teleporters, the theory behind her teleportation is to get away from the 3 dimensions, find their position in the 11th dimension, and then calculate the vectors to teleport. This property gives her the ability to overcome the predictions made via precognition based on 3-dimensional calculations, as they don't take 11-dimensional calculations into account. If an object is teleported inside another it will displace any matter upon its arrival, allowing teleporters to do things like cut the support pillars of a building by teleporting glass panels inside them. She can teleport up to a maximum of 130.74 kilograms to a distance of 81.5 meters from herself, choosing whether or not she keeps kinetic energy between teleports. Kuroko's combat style is based on teleporting the steel needles she carries in her thigh belts inside the opponent's body or uses them to nail the opponent to the ground and immobilize them, though she has also used them to damage an enemy's weapon. She's also adept at teleporting herself around the enemy to attack from their blind spots or teleporting the enemy at different angles without moving them past a few cm, effectively turning their bodies upside down so they fall on their heads or to make them face another direction. Since teleportation can have no inertia to it, it allows her to travel long distances at about 288 km/h with consecutive teleports and stop instantly without any issues. Like other Teleport espers, Kuroko cannot teleport other espers with the same type of power.
Martial Arts: Kuroko is a very skilled martial artist, which she combines with her esper power to subdue larger and stronger opponents with ease. Her style emphasizes throws and take-downs, though she also seems fond of kicks.
Smartphone: A small compact smartphone that can be worn as an earpiece for communication during missions. Its camera flash can be used to temporarily blind opponents. The phone can also be used to analyze objects, being able to analyze the composition of a smoke bomb.
Judgement Tools: Besides her steel needles, Kuroko carries several tools for her Judgement work.
*Gloves
*Handcuffs: Special non-metallic handcuffs used by Judgement.
*First Aid Tools: Including Judgement's medicinal gel, a first-aid hemostatic drug kept in toothpaste-like soft tubes. Developed by Heaven Canceller, the gel has the ability to disinfect wounds, clot blood to stop bleeding and also hastens healing, being able to treat most external wounds. Kuroko has shown the ability to teleport the gel directly to her blood vessels to stop a fast acting paralyzing poison from spreading through her body, since the gel won't cause rejection or necrosis, although the teleportation obviously damages her blood vessels and nerves and only slows down the spread.
*Detection Tool: Judgement members are equipped with a simple detection tool. The tool is connected to the lower connector on their phone to act as a sensor and put together data on the composition of the air and whether there are harmful electromagnetic waves nearby.
*Detective Tools: Simple devices to check for fingerprints and similar things.
*Flare Gun: A flare gun used by Academy City's security forces to indicate nearby civilians that there's going to be a fight in the area, acting as an evacuation order.
*Jamming Devices: Kuroko carries several small ball-shaped handheld devices made to interfere with listening devices for security purposes. She has used them to deafen the echolocation of Mitori's Liquid Shadow puppet.
