Shutaura Sequenzia

"Do not speak that word in my presence! Do you understand me?! Things just happened to work out well. There's nothing more to it than that. Nothing more special than a random quantum mechanical deviation. That and people's irrational need to sensationalize a happy ending."

- Shutaura denying the possibility of miracles Shutaura Sequenzia is one of the two main heroines in the A Certain Magical Index movie, ''Miracle of Endymion. ''She is a Level 4 Esper and a member of the Black Crow Unit. She is under employment of Ladylee Tangleroad and tasked with protecting Arisa Meigo.

She is voiced by Yoko Hikasa in the Japanese version and Whitney Rodgers in the English version.

Appearance
Shutaura is a fairly tall girl with a rather slim physique, long straight black hair, and black eyes. She is often seen wearing the uniform of the Black Crow Unit, which is a tight-fitting bodysuit with gray, white and red details.

Personality
Shutaura is a very serious person who rarely shows emotion, though she often lets her anger get the better of her. She is very practical and rather ruthless, using her powers and gadgets to accomplish a mission and going out of her way to try and kill Ladylee when she discovered she was the one responsible for the death of her father. She also has a strong sense of duty to protect the city, a trait that has charmed the members of the Black Crows to become loyal to her despite being hired by Ladylee. Shutaura is tone deaf; as a result of the Orion incident, she has lost the ability to recognize music, with her brain being unable to recognize rhythms or changes in pitch. To her, music is nothing more than noise assaulting her ears.

Of course, Shutaura's most defining trait is her stubborn denial of the possibility of miracles. In the Orion incident, her father was the only person who was killed but, since his death was not reported until later, it was believed that everyone survived, which people called a miracle. As a result of this, Shutaura refuses to believe in miracles, to the point of lashing out at anyone who even mentions the word "miracle". She also claims that she earned everything she has with hard work instead of relying on faith and luck. However, Touma Kamijou points out to her that that's precisely what a miracle is, and that refusing to acknowledge the Orion incident as a miracle is an insult to her father's heroic sacrifice. This and Shutaura remembering the truth behind her father's death is what ultimately dissolves her cynicism.
