Index

Index Librorum Prohibitorum (Japanese: 禁書目録, Kinsho Mokuroku), commonly known simply as Index, is the titular character of Kazuma Kamachi's light novel series A Certain Magical Index, and is one of the main heroines of the series' "Magic" side.

It was also decided that her personal memories were to be regularly erased.  

''Index led the life of a vagabond, unaware of her own situation and importance. Under constant supervision, she journeyed and met new people, only to have her memories of them snatched away from her and her entire life reset every year. Her nearly boundless knowledge of magic does not translate to everyday life know-how – she constantly has to rediscover all the experiences she is robbed of, which sometimes leads to troublesome misunderstandings.''

''Despite this, Index retains her bright, if slightly childish, personality. For a nun, she is not particularly resistant to temptation, especially when it comes to food. Another quality of hers that remains unchanged is her willingness to help and protect others, even at her own cost.''

''Index is a wonderful friend to have. However, all her relationships are forever destined to crumble into dust. Unless...''
