For that project, part of her cerebral cortex was taken from her to create Exterior. Part of this project was the development of Exterior, a giant brain that could replicate her powers with much higher potency, with significantly increased reach and number of people that can be controlled at one time, and to allow anybody to use Mental Out for themselves. Her researchers soon begun to train Misaki's powers for the Exterior Project, using her powers to brainwash people like Makuwa to think melons are apples. Following the Parameter List, they chose to focus on Shokuhou Misaki, with Mitsuari Ayu being kept as a back-up in the event of her death. The higher-ups decided to prune one and focus on developing the other. It's revealed that Shokuhou Misaki and Mitsuari Ayu of the third laboratory were found by Tree Diagram to both have the possibility of reaching Level 5, possessing abilities with a near-identical basic theory and scope, though they would plateau at Level 3 under the standard curriculum. When she was younger, Shokuhou Misaki was a subject of the Clone Dolly first research laboratory. When she entered Academy City and passed through the Power Curriculum Program, she became an esper of an unknown Level, but higher than 0. In a discussion about siblings, Shokuhou acts as if she is not among those who have one. Not much is known about her past and childhood.

However, a year before the story Misaki had a smaller bust, even being called flat-chested by Touma.

Both Seria and Touma have also question her if she was even in middle school. She even once suspects Misaki of not being a middle school student based on her bust size, to which Misaki replies that it may be possible with her abilities that she is not. Her large breasts are a point of jealousy for Mikoto, who mocks her for it. Her eyes are also gold colored, however, one notable feature of her eyes is that they have star designs on them. She is also seen holding a shoulder bag with a star adorned on the middle.

She wears a pair of white gloves and stockings, both adorned with laces. Misaki appears as an elegant beauty of Tokiwadai Middle School, sporting long straight hair of golden color. Her first name is composed of the characters for 'control' and 'pray', and her surname carries a 'honey bee' motif, which was later decided by Kamachi to illustrate Misaki as someone who eats through societal structures. Misaki's first name can be translated as 'Wish For Control' and her name as a whole can be translated as 'Dominated Psychology'.
