## Chronology

### Toaru Kagaku no Railgun

#### Daihasei Festival Arc

*Main article: Daihasei Festival Arc (Railgun)*
Mei and Kii were among members of Shokuhou's clique who were tasked with taking care of Misaka Mikoto, keeping her occupied and restricting her movements, while Shokuhou was away dealing with the situations regarding Misaka 10032 and Kihara Gensei. When Mikoto tried to get away from them by 'accidentally' catching a ride on a train, Mei and Kii quickly caught up to her.

After Mikoto discovered that Kongou Mitsuko had been hospitalized in trying to help her, Mei and Kii met her as she was heading out and tried to get her to wait but were cowed by her anger, with Mikoto telling them to get out of her way unless they were prepared to kill her to stop her.

#### Jailbreaker Arc

*Main article: Jailbreaker Arc*
Mei and Kii were tasked by Shokuhou with watching over Dolly as she and Kouzaku Mitori were participating in the Jailbreak Trial, given orders beforehand and their memories to be altered afterwards. Having unsubtly aided the two during the event, they were approached and thanked by Kouzaku during post-trial festival. While their programmed duty prevented them from asking about the girl who resembles Misaka Mikoto, they were still very curious about her identity and hoped that Kouzaku might let something slip, even if they would forget it, to no avail.

### Astral Buddy

#### Astral Buddy Arc

*Main article: Astral Buddy Arc*
After her bag was stolen by a lemur, an exhausted Shokuhou told Kobayashi Satori to take command and not allow it to escape Tokiwadai. Kobayashi ordered other clique members including Mei and Kii to retrieve the clique leader's stolen bag.

### Toaru Kagaku no Mental Out

#### Tokiwadai Election Arc

*Main article: Tokiwadai Election Arc*
Mei and Kii came to the aid of Shokuhou and Gaouin Tsukasa when they were trapped in Tokiwadai's Building 3 and under remote attack by the other rival presidential candidates in Tokiwadai's Student Council Election.

### Shinyaku Toaru Majutsu no Index

#### Mental Out Arc

*Main article: Mental Out Arc*
Mei was among the members of the clique who answered Shokuhou's call when she was faced with the situation engineered by Mitsuari Ayu.

## Abilities

Mei's esper ability is **Wild Speed** (捨象加速（ワイルドスピード）, *Shashō Kasoku (Wairudo Supīdo)*?, lit. "Abstract Acceleration"), which allows her to instantly reach top speed without the process of acceleration. As a result, she can move fast and every other action packs more of a punch. It is hard on her body, but her flexible muscles can redirect the force. As a student of Tokiwadai Middle School, it can be presumed to be at Level 3 or 4.
