According to the
[Wiki](http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Power_Curriculum_Program#Promotion_and_propaganda),
Mikoto was a child prodigy, and started at Level 1 instead of Level 0. Is she
a [Gemstone](http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Gemstone) or a [person
with
'idiosyncracies'](http://toarumajutsunoindex.wikia.com/wiki/Gemstone_Mining#Early_incidents),
or neither?

Mikoto started at Level 1. Is she a Gemstone or a kid with 'idiosyncracies', or neither?


No, she is not.

She has been recognized by the system as someone with high potential, and as
such was given funds and research to develop her powers all the way up to
level 5. Also, Mikoto's own nature and hard-working personality contributed to
her ascent.

Mikoto isn't a gemstone, and wasn't born with any sort of abilities, she got
them at Academy City.
