Description
Shaei Miyama is a ten-year-old elementary school student at Matsuume Elementary School in Academy City, classified as an esper of unknown level. He possesses light-colored hair and dark eyes with distinctive white pupils, typically wearing his school uniform while favoring the winter version over the summer variant. His demeanor remains consistently aloof and emotionally reserved, though he interacts with strangers without discomfort. He habitually omits honorifics when addressing acquaintances, occasionally causing social friction.
Before transferring to Matsuume, he attended another primary school where his ability to predict future events through photographs was mocked as "misfortune-bringing." This ostracization isolated him, leaving him unable to form friendships except with a stray dog named Pero. A pivotal incident—where he failed to prevent a predicted accident involving a bully—precipitated his school transfer. His sense of helplessness intensified after foreseeing an accident involving Pero, fueling his desperation to alter predicted outcomes. This drive led him to co-create the Treasure Hunter App, a platform for sharing his predictions.
His unnamed esper ability generates photographs via an instant camera, depicting near-future events within ten to twenty minutes. Initial images show a marbled pattern decipherable only with specialized equipment. By focusing intensely and shining a penlight through his eyes—a "second stage" of his power—he produces enhanced images with specific dates and locations. These are decoded via an app designed for Thoughtography users. Predicted events occur with absolute certainty unless disrupted by abilities manipulating beyond three dimensions, such as teleportation employing 11th-dimensional calculations. His power detects proximate dangerous events more readily but ignores incidents below certain harm thresholds, like temporary comas from magical attacks.
Overusing his ability inflicts severe physical consequences: it destroys red blood cells, depletes oxygen reserves, and causes nosebleeds, nausea, and life-threatening conditions. In late September, he submitted six predictions via the Treasure Hunter App, all materializing exactly as foreseen. On September 27th, he witnessed Judgment members Shirai Kuroko and Uiharu Kazari avert one prediction—the first successful intervention. He subsequently revealed himself as the app’s creator to Kuroko, demonstrated his ability at Judgment headquarters, and formed a partnership with her to intercept future incidents.
Continuous ability use caused his collapse on October 4th, resulting in hospitalization. The frog-faced doctor Heaven Canceller confirmed critical damage from overuse. During recovery, he recalled past traumas and his bond with Pero, culminating in a dream about the dog’s predicted peril in a park fire. Defying medical advice, he rushed to the park on the incident day. Judgment, acting on his predictions, established checkpoints but failed to prevent flammable chemical ampules—planted to induce out-of-season cherry blossoms—from igniting a blaze. Despite his condition, Kuroko teleported into the fire, rescued Pero, and defied the prediction. Post-incident, a classmate adopted Pero, and Kuroko affirmed his ability’s value, offering future collaboration upon his recovery.
His character design originated as "an elementary school boy attending a funeral," with his camera initially modeled after a Polaroid Two but later reimagined as a digital printer housed in an analog-style casing.
