Mikan Sakura

Birthday: January 1 Age 10-11

Mikan is the protagonist of the story. She is a cute, energetic, good-natured girl, but her clumsiness lands her into trouble. She is a cheerful and athletic person, much to the annoyance of her mellow-headed friend, Hotaru. She used to live with her grandfather in the country before transferring to Gakuen Alice.

She was shocked to hear that Hotaru was moving to an academy in Tokyo for young 'geniuses' like Hotaru. When she heard rumors that students were like slaves in Alice Academy (which she felt was a possibility, since they gave money to parents for sending their children to the school),Mikan is sad. Mikan left her grandfather and her home to go after Hotaru by herself. She was then accepted to Alice Academy by Narumi-sensei and could attend Alice Academy with Hotaru and many other children. She was later told by Narumi that the so-called 'Alice' means a special power, not special academic results. At that time, Mikan didn't exactly know what her Alice (power) was.

She discovers that her Alice is that of Nullification; an Alice which she inherited from her late father. The Nullfication Alice can temporarily cancel out the powers of other Alices in close proximity to her. She also possesses the Stealing and Insertion Alices, which she inherited from her mother. All of her Alices are very rare and special. In the early episodes it was stated that her Nullification Alice was unstable and worked best when protecting people she feels strongly for (i.e. Hotaru, Natsume, etc.) However, Mikan is later able to control and utilize her powers effectively with help from her teacher, Nodacchi-sensei, and her partner, Natsume Hyuuga who loves her. It is also inferred that she loves him back though it is not known for sure.

At the beginning of the story, she was placed in the Special Abilities class, a class with students that have rare and uncommon Alices. Upon the discovery of her Stealing and Insertation Alice, she was transferred to the Dangerous Ability Class and became the Elementary Principal's 'special' student. She is currently a Single Star, but the rank will most likely be changed to Special Star upon discovery of her stealing Alice. Her alice type is unknown.
