Momo Nishimiya

Momo Nishimiya is a supporting character in Jujutsu Kaisen and third-year student Kyoto Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

Appearance
Momo is a petite girl with a very youthful appearance. She has blonde hair tied into two pig-tails and soft blue eyes. Both her ears are pierced with two earrings and she also sports a collar on her neck, befitting her witch-like appearance as she's always with her signature broom as well.

Momo's school uniform consists of a loose, short-sleeved black shirt and matching pants that are cut above her calves and she completes her outfit with black shoes.

Personality
Momo first appears as a reserved girl who was first intimidated by the students from the Tokyo School. She has a close relationship with the others girls at her school, Kasumi and Mai, and believes that women are unfairly treated in the jujutsu world in comparison to men. This prejudice influences her own personality, as Momo is seen to care a lot about "cuteness" and her appearance.

Additionally, Momo was quick to follow the belief that Yuji was a danger to everyone, causing her to form a rivalry with Kugisaki. However, despite her rocky relationship with some students, she is a team player and will do the most she can to help in a crisis.

Momo fights Nobara by being out of Nobara's reach and attacking from a distance. Momo also manages to use her broom to land a blow on Nobara's face, which angers Nobara. Momo then explains how women sorcerer are meant to be, but this just causes Nobara to get more angrier.

Momo continues to fight Nobara and makes sure to keep her distance, because of what Noritoshi told her about Toge. Momo manages to dodge Nobara's attack, and explains what it meets to be a sorcerer of the Zenin clan. Nobara pins her nails to the trees that proceed to fall on Momo, but Momo manages to evade them. When Nobara manages to get close, Momo kicks her away and distances herself. Momo loses control of her broom, when Nobara used her technique on the broom. Momo is attacked multiple times by Nobara with a squeaky hammer. Just as Nobara is about to go and to knock Momo unconscious, Maki shoots Nobara frocing her to fall down. Momo is then contacted by Maki and is told to support them from the sky.

Later, Momo notices that a screen is starting to cover the site where the Kyoto Goodwill Event is happening at. Momo then helps bring Toge and Noritoshi outside of the screen. When the invasion is over, Momo agrees to continue the Kyoto Goodwill Event along with the others. Momo then plays a game of baseball with the other and is even allowed to use her cursed power. When Aoi is hit by the ball while at bat, Momo along with the other Kyoto student compliments Maki for hitting him.

Momo then says whoever makes her younger classmates cry will die.

At 11:36pm, Momo arrives with her allies and signals for her allies to open fire on Pseudo-Geto. When Miwa's attack fails and Geto unleashes Maximum: Uzumaki at point blank range on Miwa which Momo notices and goes to protect Miwa, Kusakabe then suddenly arrives and is able to defend and protect the trio. Upon noticing Utahime next to her, Momo immediately yells at her that she isn't supposed to be out on the frontlines. When Choso suddenly arrives and confronts Pseudo-Geto about being his father, this which leaves Momo confused as to what Choso meant. Utahime then explains to Momo about how Noritoshi Kamo was the blot of the Kamo family and also was known as the most evilest sorcerer in history.

Momo is up in the air when Uraume uses Frost Calm to freeze the opposing enemies leaving her free to move. She uses her Wind Scythe attack and directs it at Geto and Uraume who's able to block it with ease, shocking her. Momo tells Yuji that they're the only ones able to move and should buy time for Utahime sensei to get ready.
