She wears a Nagatenjouki Academy summer uniform, primarily blue with white on top, with a red tie, black shoes and socks. She also wears red wristbands and a red collar.
==Background==
Aizono Mio was part of a project called White Alligator, originally meant to break the limits set in the Parameter List, but developed into a project to mass produce stable Level 4 espers as an alternative to the more unpredictable and uncontrollable Level 5s.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP game) Chapter 5 The harsh training and conditioning she received during the experiment left her mind unstable.
After the project was shut down, Saitou Souta, a counsellor at Nagatenjouki Academy, helped to restore her humanity. However, due to overwork resulting from having the jobs the rest of faculty didn't wish to do (such as dealing with dissatisfied parents) pushed on him, he had an accident and ended up in a coma. The accident was covered up by Nagatenjouki Academy.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP game) Chapter 4 This led to her seeking revenge on the ones she considered responsible.
==Chronology==
===Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP game)===
In order to carry out her revenge, Aizono Mio manipulated both Miyoshi Yoshiko, the hair-cutting lady, to collect DNA samples and the Disciplinary Guides as a source of information. Using this information, she orchestrated the kidnapping of Ichizawa Akiko, in order to acquire the use of Eighth Level Red. As Eighth Level Red required a brainwave scan from an authorized user, Mio brought in a Level 2 Telepath, Futaishi Kyousha, whom she had found using the DNA from the hair cut by Miyoshi Yoshiko and had him copy Akiko's brainwaves into his own head (not telling him that it would overwrite his own and leave him a vegetable).Toaru Kagaku no Railgun (PSP game) Chapter 3 Due to the incident, Academy City went to Code Red alert, meaning no one could enter or exit the city, including a group of parents complaining to Nagatenjouki Academy - the ones Mio blamed for what happened to Saitou.
Mio started a fire at the hotel the parents were staying at, disabling the sprinkler systems and fire alarms. She then called the parents in the shelter on the upper floor and told them a way to survive - to throw themselves out of the window, claiming that though the first few would die, after a dozen or so the bodies would form a cushion and allow the rest to survive. As a result, the parents start fighting amongst themselves. After hanging up, she says to herself that she lied and that none of them would survive.
As Misaka Mikoto and Shirai Kuroko attempted to help fight the fire, Mio appeared before them. After talking about her revenge, she escaped as their attention was focused on destroying the rockets fired into the building. Since some of the parents were at a different VIP shelter, a nuclear bunker, Mio intended to use the Eight Level Red, also known as the Magnetic Debris Cannon, regardless of the fact that the city would be destroyed as well.
While waiting at an antenna, having contacted the Hikoboshi II to deploy the Magnetic Debris Cannon, Mio contacted the parents at the shelter to gloat, ignoring their pleas that Saitou would not have wanted this. Afterwards she prepared herself for her own death in the blast. However Mikoto had followed her by tracing the signal and jammed it as she arrived. Unable to convince Mio to call off her plan, Mikoto decided to stop her by force and the two fought.
After being knocked down once, Mio used her ability to form an oil dress and named her ability before making further use of it to attack Mikoto. Mikoto fired a railgun shot at her but Mio withstood it with minimal damage, explaining how she had received anti-railgun training as part of the project (and that those that failed were blown to pieces). She then started gathering napalm in the surrounding area, but before she could ignite it she was struck by one of Mikoto's coins, which she had slipped into the oil and shot from within. Mikoto threatened to go all-out with the next shot if she didn't stop the Magnetic Debris Cannon, however Mio refused to give in and arming herself, launched herself at Mikoto for one final attack before being shot and shocked into submission.
Lying on the ground, defeated and naked, Mio lamented on how everything was over and that the Magnetic Debris Cannon couldn't be stopped at that point. However after some convincing from Mikoto and an offer to help her find and save Saitou, she worked together with Mikoto to create a large railgun to counter the Magnetic Debris Cannon's shot.

After learning about a rumour concerning Saitou's whereabouts from Saten, Mikoto and Mio teamed up to locate him, on the condition that Mio turned herself in once they were done. Their search led them to a refrigerated storage facility, but the two, suspecting the place to be a trap due to how comvenient the timing of the rumour was, decided not to enter the building, instead deciding to question the driver of the enemy's escape vehicle.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 3 The information from the driver pointed them toward the sewers of Academy City, where they encountered the comatose Saitou being transported by four ex-White Alligator members like Mio. After the enemy removed Misaka Mikoto from the fight using a large oil trap, Aizono Mio started fighting three of them, as the fourth went down the oil trap to watch over Mikoto.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 9
Due to being outnumbered and having her power interfered by the other three Military Oil users, Mio was cornered and nearly killed by their Multiphase Straight Hammer.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 11 However, Mikoto read her a message she had picked from Saitou's cell phone charger that motivated her to try and save the other White Alligator girls. She proceeded to beat her three opponents using the growth she had gained after leaving White Alligator, including the things she had learned in her fight against Mikoto.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 14Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 15 After her victory, she bid farewell to the comatose Saito Satou as she prepared to help Mikoto captured the enemies that would come for him.Toaru Kagaku no Railgun SS: Dasoku, Mata wa Toaru Jiken no Shumaku Part 16 Presumably, she later fulfilled her agreement with Mikoto and turned herself in to Anti-Skill once the incident was over.
