Aisa Himegami

Himegami Aisa is a recurring character in the Toaru Majutsu no Index. She is a Gemstone and possesses the ability "Deep Blood," which attracts and kills vampires. Aisa looks like a normal teenage girl. She has long, straight, black hair, and is often seen wearing her miko outfit. After the events of the second volume, she begins wearing a cross necklace given to her by Necessarius so vampires will not be attracted to her blood. She is a quiet young girl with a rather blunt personality, generally soft-spoken and sometimes shy. She can be as gluttonous as Index, which is shown when she was trying to buy out all hamburgers at one restaurant. Because of her ability, she has been miserable because her friends and family were killed by it. Ever since Touma saved her life, Aisa started to have feelings for him, which is ironic as she once joked that Touma's life was like a dating sim. She also has a kind and considerate side, shown during the Daihaseisai after she was recovering from the near-fatal injury caused by Oriana Thomson, she once thought about leaving Touma and everyone else since she seems to only be a burden to Touma. She thought she didn't have any special talents that could help Touma, nor was she the kind of person that could help others just by her presence like Index. Though Index quickly told her it wasn't true, as Himegami is everyone's friend and a valuable person to everyone who was worth saving. One of her strongest personality traits is a slight complex about not being special, she can usually be seen reading books with advice on how to rebuild yourself or how to increase your own individuality; Touma once noticed that as she is very talented when cooking she has an important distinctive feature; however, Aisa realizes that such trait is not enough individuality when faced to the unique characters that are around her, such as Tsukuyomi Komoe. Due to the events that have occurred in her past, her initial goal of wanting to be a magician of fairy tales and picture books because she wanted to save those that can't be saved. Touma also has pointed out that even though she is really quiet, it's not like she doesn't want to express herself, and as such many of the things that she wants to say are showed in some other way even if it's almost impossible to perceive normally, the example that Touma used was that when Himegami is happy she doesn't say anything, but she slightly curls up her lips to show that feeling.
