The Biohacer SS novel coming with the Accelerator anime already has 4 chapters out. There's still some time before the last 2 chapters are released, but there's already some changes/upgrades for two characters: Girl in the dress and Seria Kumokawa.
Girl in the Dress
Girl in the dress' real name was revealed in Biohacker SS Chapter 2, so her page's name should be changed to Kaibi Gokusai.
Additionally, she has demonstrated resistance to Mind Manipulation (her power protects her from Ayu Mitsuari's Mental Stinger) and limited Extrasensory Perception (a side effect of her power is that she can roughly sense her target's location). We also got a few more examples of her using her power to add to her page, and also confirmation she can alter the distance between two other people, although it's more difficult for her to do than when she's doing it between herself and others.
Biohacker SS Chapter 2 (Resistance to Mind Manipulation)
An odd sound filled the air.
No, it may not have actually been a vibration of the air picked up by her eardrums.
"Wha-?"
Her power had been deflected?
No, that was not it. She found it hard to believe, but could it be?
"Oh, my."
The attacker was a girl with long and obviously bleached blonde hair worn up in the back. She may have been Mitsuari's age or a little older. Regardless, there was a thin smile on the lips of that girl in a dress that shined gaudily with spangles.
"Hm, that was unexpected. I knew it was theorized that similar powers would interfere with each other, but we may just have proven it."
"No way…"
Come to think of it, the Gatling gun girl had hidden in the bushes as soon as the phone was aimed her way. And the drone pilot had chosen not to make a physical appearance at all.
They had both taken different countermeasures against Mental Stinger.
So this girl in a dress, whose blonde hair was worn up to accentuate her bright nape, never would have walked right up to her without any sort of plan.
"On the other hand, I doubt even my Measure Heart would have stood a chance against the rumored Mental Out."
Biohacker SS Chapter 3 (Limited Extrasensory Perception)
The girl in a dress, Kaibi, used her Measure Heart power.
It allowed her to adjust the emotional distance between herself and a target.
It was a purely psychological power that could not even make a single leaf float up in the air, but there was still some room for more creative uses of it.
She used a handkerchief to wipe the beads of sweat from the side and nape of her alluring neck.
(Knowing the distance between our hearts lets me know where the other person is located without relying on my eyes or ears. Just like the tension is very different depending on whether someone is standing in front of you or behind you. It's only a vague sense, but it still functions like a cheap bug detector.)
Seria Kumokawa
Seria Kumokawa has her own self-defense/martial arts style, can lockpick and drive cars/ride bikes and apparently can make people not notice her even while she stands next to them, likely part of her hypnotism as it's later implied she could have used it to slip past some guards. So she gets Martial Arts, Vehicular Mastery and Stealth Mastery.
Biohacker SS Chapter 1
He removed his back from the metal wall ― the side of a large truck container ― and made his way to the payphone he already knew was safe. He needed to use a special method to contact the others.
[...]
The man muttered under his breath while opening the glass door and stepping outside. He kept doing so as he walked toward the driver's seat of the large truck.
But that was when his shoulders shook and he came to a stop.
"Oh? You noticed me faster than I expected. I was hoping you would reveal more valuable information first."
He was facing the truck container.
A high school girl with black hair, a prominent forehead, and a sailor uniform a size too small was leaning back against the container's side. Just like he had been a little earlier. How long had she been there? Had she been smiling there while listening to the critical information he had so carelessly let slip!?
[...]
"Mental Stinger, hm? That's a pretty cheap power."
(Much like someone else I could mention.)
"Are you really one to talk? How did you manage to escape his notice? I provided no support whatsoever until just now."
Kumokawa shrugged.
She still had her secrets.
Biohacker SS Chapter 4
"I thought for sure you were going to use some kind of hypnotism to slip right past the guards."
"Why would I use my special abilities when I'm wearing a mask to hide my identity? Not doing what you could do is a good way to muddy the waters."
