Nobara Kugisaki

Nobara Kugisaki is the tritagonist of the Jujutsu Kaisen series. She is a first-year at Tokyo Jujutsu High alongside Yuji and Megumi.

Appearance
Nobara is a short girl with orange eyes and orange hair (dyed).

Nobara's school uniform consists of a dark blue button down jacket and long skirt, black stockings, and brown shoes. She also wears a light colored belt to hold her hammer, nails, and straw doll.

While training, Nobara wears a light colored hoodie with a dark flower pattern around her shoulders, black pants, and white shoes.

While in casual clothes, Nobara wears a black sleeveless shirt, a sweat wrapped around her neck, and a long black skirt.

Personality
Nobara Kugisaki is a brash and self confident woman with a strong belief in being "true" to herself, and has an unshakable character. She prides herself on her physical appearance, taking great offense to anyone insulting her and or attempting to hit her face.

She is the most outspoken of the trio, prone to taking charge when either member of her team is unsure. Nobara took some time to warm up to her new comrades, although she treasures their companionship more after getting to know them better.

Although compassionate and morally upright, Nobara is very stern in her ideals, believing only a few important people in her life should sway her feelings. She was also much less guilt-ridden over the thought of having killed the Death Paintings, Eso And Kechizu, than Yuji.

She is also very talkative during battle, belittling and verbally sassing her opponents even while on the verge of death.

Abilities and Powers
Overall Skill Level: Nobara Kugisaki is a grade 3 sorcerer. But she has showcased above-average skill when it comes to being a jujutsu sorcerer. Her abilities were enough to be recognized by Aoi Todo and have him recommend her to be promoted to a grade 1 sorcerer, along with Mei Mei.

Enhanced Strength: She has been shown to be physically stronger than she looks, capable of kicking away an 80kg Yuji with not much visible effort.

Enhanced Pain Tolerance: Nobara has shown incredible pain tolerance when she faced off against Eso and Kechizu's cursed technique. During that fight, she not only withstood the Decomposition Technique, but also struck her arm with her nails in order to use them to attack her opponents with Resonance, with some of the nails also having been inserted through her entire wrist.

Weapon Mastery: She has shown exceptional combat skill when using her hammer, nails, straw doll, and rubber mallet.

Great Tactical Intellect: Nobara has demonstrated to have a strong grasp on jujutsu and the various ways she can combat her opponents. This is a result of her Innate technique being very technical and requiring a lot of thought. Nobara has shown her tactical thinking during pretty much every battle she has participated in. The tactical intelligence she has allows Nobara to gain the upper hand in one-on-one battles.
