Kinoverse Headcanon: Asahina Mikuru

This is considered to be a canon-divergent headcanon from one series into another. Many elements have been changed/altered not only to fit the specific verse in question, but also around specific characters in that verse. This may be modified/altered as things progress. 

Mikuru Asahina is what people would call a Level 0 Esper (Or really, not an Esper at all), who goes to 'A Certain High School'. She is considered to be an Upperclassman or Senior, at least one year level above that of Kamijou Touma. Due to an incident where she was saved by both Operator Bowen Chuuno and Kamijou Touma together, she ended up being recruited into Project SOS, a research study looking into the life and society of Academy City.

Some would say that she is the token 'Moe' character of the group, shy and cute. Most would say she is like that, but can also be awkward, timid, easily scared at things. A real 'fish out of water' in a sense, but that doesn't mean she can't smile or get excited at something. Like Koizumi Itsuki with the girls, Asahina is very popular with the boys (And it wouldn't be surprising if the likes of Tsuchimikado Motoharu and Aogami Pierce have already taken notice). Most of the time what she's doing in Project SOS, aside from talking about her day, brewing good tea and generally uplifting the spirits of the club.

Mostly she would be talking to Bowen and Kamijou more so than Koizumi and Nagato.

She stand five foot, born on October 21st. Petite, but more 'endowed' than some (Sorry Misaka).

Not much is otherwise known about her. She seems to do better at games than Koizumi, for one. She's able to follow any direction that Bowen gives her, unless requiring his help, which he would always provide. She's also protected in Project SOS from the attention she might otherwise have. She's also exceptionally good at martial arts, able to defend herself from even a group of unsightly boys.

The reason a lot about her is hidden, is because she's a time traveller. Apparently, a supposed 'time-quake' occurred a number years ago, due to a fixed point in time in one specific universe. This quake resulted in the prevention of time travel beyond that point. This is believed to have been caused by Bowen Chuuno. Sent to observe him in his younger years, she undergoes a procedure of deep hypnosis and mental preparation, to ensure the future is not jeopardised by knowledge that could be used by others. Whenever anyone asks about time travel or anything to do with the future, even in a few hours or a few days ahead, she always goes for the knee-jerk response:

'Classified Information'

There is a possibility she might require Kamijou Touma to be sent back in time to participate in certain events that might require his involvement. What they are as of yet is unknown, nor is it known if they involve Bowen Chuuno himself. She is supposedly aware of Bowen's status as an inter-dimensional, possibly even knowing he is a god incarnate, but all memories and knowledge of him are mentally suppressed, in order to ensure they aren't leaked out. Some of the events she might require Kamijou to attend, she would have no clue as to why, even if she does later remember or 'rediscover' Bowen's multiversal capabilities.

One thing she does enjoy is the nostalgia of the past, even in a futuristic place like Academy City. It's like she enjoys being in the past more than in the future. In addition, knowledge is stored right in people's heads, as well as potential equipment, like the device she uses to time travel, as if it isn't a tangible object one can see or hold. Her watch apparently contains further time-keeping uses than a normal one.

Another version of Asahina Mikuru, from a further future, might make an appearance from time to time. Noticeably older, more bolder, she is also a little less restricted with the information she's allowed to provide, able to warn Kamijou Touma about particular events her faction might be aware of, that concern them, as well as Bowen Chuuno. She's otherwise refereed to as (Big) Asahina or (Big) Mikuru to differentiate her from her younger counterpart.

Koizumi Itsuki believes (Big) Asahina cannot be trusted.

-----------

Asahina Mikuru ends up developing a crush on Kamijou Touma, though despite certain actions here and there, she finds it difficult to act upon her feelings for two reasons, one being that time travellers are straight up forbidden with developing relations with or being intimate with people from the past (Due to the effect it could have on the future, the second being the knowledge she might possess of Kamijou Touma and the difficulties she faces in her feelings for him. This sometimes leaves her feeling sadder and more useless than other days sometimes.

Those feelings would remain even if she gets caught up in moments surrounding Kamijou’s ‘Misfortune’.

As a result of this, it is believed she is part of the ‘Kami-yan’ Disease.
