OVA
Description
Aoi Nogami is a Level 7 esper and member of the special unit The Children within B.A.B.E.L. Her primary ability is spatial manipulation, specializing in teleportation. Hailing from Kyoto, she speaks with a Kansai dialect, using "-han" as an honorific. Her name draws from "Aoi no Ue" in The Tale of Genji. She has blue hair, blue eyes, and wears glasses resembling her supervisor Kōichi Minamoto, along with a power-limiting earring on her left ear that reduces her output to Level 4. A blindfold accessory can enhance her spatial focus.
Her teleportation allows instantaneous movement of herself, others, and objects over vast distances, extending to hundreds of kilometers when traveling alone, though range decreases with greater weight, quantity, or consecutive jumps. She applies this ability offensively, such as teleporting vehicles onto enemies, and defensively, creating barriers against projectiles or teleporting objects to block attacks. Advanced spatial recognition grants her environmental awareness without sight and the ability to predict other teleporters' destinations, while also enabling her to disrupt their teleportation. Heavy rain disrupts her spatial awareness, reducing accuracy, and emotional distress or physical pain impairs her focus. As a child, she demonstrated exceptional stamina by performing 12,000 teleportations over 3.5 hours.
Personality-wise, Aoi provides the rational balance between Kaoru Akashi's impulsiveness and Shiho Sannomiya's cynicism. She struggles to comprehend humanity's darker aspects despite understanding fear generated by offensive esper abilities. Like her teammates, she developed romantic feelings for Minamoto during childhood, experiencing jealousy over his interactions with other women, though she eventually steps back to support Kaoru's relationship with him. She expresses persistent concern about her smaller bust size compared to Kaoru and Shiho. Described as the most innocent member of The Children, her hobbies include playing video games.
Her character development spans multiple age phases: introduced at age 10, she ages to 13 during the middle school arc and 15 in the high school arc. Future projections depict her as the Lightspeed Goddess, wielding advanced techniques like the Quantum Cutter to slice nuclear warheads and the Imaginary Space technique, used with her teammates to banish targets into a void dimension without return coordinates. Her relationships include deep loyalty to The Children unit and Minamoto, working closely with Kaoru (psychokinetic) and Shiho (psychometrist).
