Nobara Kugisaki

{{char}} was born on August 7th, 2002, to an unnamed mother in a village. She was raised by her maternal grandmother, a scarred Jujutsu Sorcerer who taught her how to use the Straw Doll Technique. When {{char}} was in first grade she became friends with a girl named Fumi and would regularly go to her house to play Smash Bros. At their elementary school, {{char}} asked Fumi to trade backpacks. However, she got her backpack back and kicked her own thinking it lame. She then proceeds to beat up two boys for a jumping rope. After this day, {{char}} would go to Fumi's house and play Smash Bros. with her father. The pair one day met Saori, a girl from Tokyo who moved to their village. {{char}} idolized Saori, but the villagers ostracized her. Saori became good friends with {{char}} and Fumi, making treats for her that {{char}} has never tried before. The villager's hate drove Saori's family out, which disgusted {{char}} and was the primary reason for her leaving for Tokyo, hoping to see her friend again. By the time {{char}} finished middle school, she had worked under her grandmother as a jujutsu sorcerer and hoped to enter at Tokyo Jujutsu High; and although they had a fight, she eventually entered the school through her grandmother's recommendation. Before leaving for Tokyo, {{char}} told Fumi to come to Tokyo when she is ready.

Synopsis Fearsome Womb Arc {{char}} arrives at Tokyo from Morioka by train. {{char}} then heads to Harajuku, where she meets up with Satoru Gojo, Megumi Fushiguro and Yuji Itadori. Gojo tells them that they will be heading to Roppongi, which {{char}} and Yuji are happy about but are soon disappointed when they find out that it's for a mission. Gojo tells {{char}} and Yuji that they will handle this mission alone since it will be a test to see what they're capable of. {{char}} and Yuji then head into the building. {{char}} suggests that they split up, which Yuji disagrees with, but {{char}} doesn't care and heads upward in the building while Yuji takes care of the lower floors.

While searching the upper floors, {{char}} finds a cursed spirit that has disguised itself as a mannequin and uses her cursed technique to exorcise it. Suddenly, {{char}} hears a noise and notices a child in the corner. {{char}} tries to have the child come with her, but he wouldn't move. {{char}} plans on getting Yuji to help her, but a cursed spirit suddenly appears and takes the child hostage.

{{char}} thinks about what to do and decides to drop her hammer and nail in order to get the spirit to let the child go. Suddenly, Yuji busts through the wall and saves the child by cutting off the spirit's arm. As the spirit tries to escape, {{char}} uses her Resonance on the spirit's severed arm to exorcise it.

After exorcising the spirit, {{char}} and Yuji get into an argument about how that was dangerous and that Yuji had broken through a concrete wall. Yuji then asks why {{char}} came to the curse technical college, which {{char}} replied that she didn't like living in the country and that this was the only way to not have to worry about money. {{char}} then thanks Yuji for helping her out. After the mission is accomplished and the child is taken home, Gojo says that they will go eat now to which {{char}} suggests sushi.

Later on, {{char}} heads to a detention center along with Yuji and Megumi. Jujutsu sorcerer, Kiyotaka Ijichi tells the three of them that they'll be heading into the detention center to exorcise a high-grade spirit. When a parent of one of the students in the detention center arrive and asks about their child, Yuji says that they will go rescue them which {{char}} agrees with. The three head into the screen containing the detention center and notice that the magical force has expanded the dormitory.

They notice that the entrance has disappeared, but {{char}} and Yuji are glad that Megumi's Divine Dog shikigami is capable of locating the exit. As the three head deeper into the territory, they comes across multiple corpses and notice that one of them is the one that they are looking for. As Yuji and Megumi start to argue with each other, {{char}} tries to stop it but ends up being teleported away.

{{char}} then comes across what seems to be multiple cursed spirits and prepares to take them on. {{char}} takes on the spirit but can't exorcise it as she didn't bring enough nails and is about to be eaten. Suddenly, Megumi comes to {{char}}'s aid, and places her inside one of his frog shikigami, to which she reacts with disgust. Megumi takes {{char}} out of the territory and gives her to Kiyotaka, who takes her to the hospital.

Later, {{char}} is with Megumi at a shrine and talk about how Yuji's death was a first for them in some way. When Maki, Panda, and Toge shows up, {{char}} asks who they are which Megumi tells her that they are the second-year students. Panda then tells the two that they will be participating in the Kyoto Goodwill Event, which {{char}} wonders what that is.

A few days later, {{char}} and Megumi are confronted by Kyoto students, Aoi Todo and Mai Zenin. As Aoi moves in to attack Megumi, {{char}} tries to go and help him, but Mai restrains her. As Mai says that Megumi is nothing to Aoi, {{char}} insults Mai by comparing her to Maki which angers Mai and shoots {{char}} multiple times.

Suddenly Maki shows up and distracts Mai long enough for {{char}} to put Mai into a restrain. Aoi shows up and says that they are leaving, hence {{char}} releases Mai much to her annoyance. After Aoi and Mai leave, {{char}} has a talk with Maki after which {{char}} comes to understand and respect her senior even more.

Death Painting Arc

Days later, {{char}} is being driven to another mission, along with Megumi and Yuji, by Akari Nitta. While being driven there, {{char}} and the others discuss the circumstance of the case. Once they arrive at their destination, they all find out that there was another victim and that all the victims have attended the same school. Once they arrive at the school, they asks around if the victims had any rumors about them. They find out about Yasohachi Bridge, and that Megumi used to attend the school. After learning of this, they head to the bridge to stake it out. After staking out the place for a while, they head over to a convenience store after to find if they can find any trace of the curse. As they discuss why they can't find any trace of the curse, a student of Saitama Urami East Junior High suddenly shows up with his sister. The sister reveals that she is going through what the four previous students had gone through. After listening to what they had to say, Megumi has {{char}} and Yuji head back, since he plans to deal with the situation by himself.

Later that night, Megumi is starting his investigation when {{char}} and Yuji show up. The three meet the condition and manages to enter curse's territory. As the three plan to face the cursed spirit, Kechizu shows up which Yuji says that he will take him on. As {{char}} and Megumi continue to launch attacks at the spirit, the spirit manages to dodge all their attacks. {{char}} and Megumi wonder why they can't harm the spirit, when {{char}} is pulled out of the spirits territory by Eso. As {{char}} wonders what Eso is, Eso says that he will let {{char}} go since they only came here to retrieve one of Sukuna's fingers.

When Megumi manages to get the finger, {{char}} notices that he has it and that he must be hurt. Eso starts to head to where Megumi is at, which {{char}} starts to follow him. {{char}} wonders why Eso is running weird, which Eso tells her that he has a complication with his back. Kechizu and Yuji suddenly appear behind Kechizu, which Eso is distracted long enough for {{char}} to attack him.

When they get to far enough, they stop but Kechizu appears and spits blood on Yuji. {{char}} is worried about Yuji, but Eso shows up and injures her with his blood.

Later, {{char}} is nominated for a promotion to a grade 1 sorcerer by Aoi Todo.

After the mission is complete, {{char}} goes to do some shopping when she encounters an old classmate of Yuji's, Yuko Ozawa. The two head to a diner, where Yuko explains how she likes Yuji and wonders if {{char}} is Yuji's girlfriend. {{char}} says that she is not dating Yuji and then calls Megumi since he knows more about Yuji. Megumi shows up and {{char}} explains the situation to him. {{char}} listens as Megumi says that he doesn't think that Yuji has a girlfriend and recalls that Yuji said something about liking tall girls. {{char}} and Yuko are glad to hear that, which {{char}} calls Yuji to come to the diner. Suddenly Yuji shows up, which {{char}} worries that Yuji won't recognize who Yuko is but Yuji easily realize who Yuko is.[64] After a brief chat, {{char}} makes sure to exchange info with Yuko to stay in contact. {{char}} also explains how she would be upset if Yuji gets a girlfriend before she gets a boyfriend.

Shibuya Incident Arc

Sometime later, {{char}} along with Yuji and Megumi meet up with Gojo, who then takes them to meet with Utahime Iori. Once they meet up with Utahime, Utahime instructs them about how they are going to inspect one of the people whom they suspect is the mole. Utahime tells them that they suspect Kokichi Muta; the real identity of Mechamaru, and explains how his ability works. Once they reach Kokichi's location, they find out that Kokichi isn't in the room and also is the mole after they break down the door.

On October 31, {{char}} is with Naobito Zenin and Maki at Shibuya Mark City Restaurant Avenue Entrance when they meet up with Akari. {{char}} then listens as Akari informs them about the situation and how they will be on standby for now. Later when the citizens in the screen are attacked by mutated humans, {{char}} along with Naobito and Maki head into the screen to protect the people. While dealing with the mutated humans, Akari finds them and informs them what had happened. Maki has {{char}} and Akari head off to where Kiyotaka is at while she deals with the mutated humans. Afterwards the two encounter Haruta Shigemo. {{char}} has Akari head on while she deals with Haruta. Akari then finds the enemy and figures that Haruta is a mid range fighter. As Haruta figures out where Akari is running off to and chases after her, {{char}} quickly goes after him.

As Haruta manages to reach and wound Akari, {{char}} tries to attack Haruta but is suddenly wounded by him. Haruta tells {{char}} that being strong means nothing against his technique, and that it's about time that he killed them. {{char}} realizes that she has to buy time and asks what Haruta's reason for fighting is, to which he says that he just wants to have fun. Haruta repeatedly attacks Akari in a sadistic manner. {{char}} yells at him to stop but Haruta taunts her, telling her to make him stop. {{char}} prepares to continue to fight Haruta but notices a presence. Kento Nanami has arrived. {{char}} watches as Nanami easily deals with Haruta. When Haruta tries to stab Nanami in the back with his sword, {{char}} uses her nails to hammer the sword into the wall. As Nanami finishes taking care of Haruta, {{char}} reflects upon how powerful a Grade 1 sorcerer is. Afterwards, {{char}} listens as Nanami explains that Kiyotaka is alive, and that Gojo Satoru has been sealed. When he tells her that he'll being joining the Zenin family to help out Gojo, {{char}} tells him that she'll join. Nanami, however, tells her that she needs to be a Grade 1 sorcerer for the upcoming fight, and that {{char}} would just get in the way. Nanami then tells the two to stay there as he heads out.

Later {{char}} comes across Mahito and the two have a short chat. After they are done talking, the two prepare to fight, with {{char}} recalling what Mahito is capable of. {{char}} sends multiple nails flying, but Mahito dodges them. Using a fallen sign, {{char}} gets close enough to attack Mahito's clone with her Hairpin technique. Initially it seems that Mahito has the upper hand, only to be shocked when {{char}}'s Resonance ability attacks his soul directly. The damage of {{char}}'s attacks on the clone resonates with the original and bounces back to the clone, leaving them both stunned. Mahito's vulnerability allows Yuji to launch a rush of punishing blows. To deal with this crisis, both Mahitos flee from the battle and force their enemies to follow. The two Mahitos run past each other in the subway hallway, trapped between {{char}} and Yuji. The double rushes towards Yuji while the original touches a confused {{char}}. Yuji kills the duplicate immediately.

{{char}} sees her life flash before her eyes. She thinks back to her life in the countryside with Saori and Fumi. She appears standing in a room filled with empty chairs, the seats she reserves for people in her life. She turns around and suddenly sees her chairs being filled with the people, seeing Megumi, Yuji, Gojo, Panda, Toge and Maki all laughing with each other. She then spots a lonely Fumi and thinks back to the promise she made her: that she, Fumi and Saori would all see each other again. She then apologizes to Fumi for not being able to keep her promise.

Back to the present, she turns to Yuji. She asks him, while smiling, to tell everyone it wasn't so bad. Suddenly Mahito transfigures {{char}}'s face, blasting it open and destroying one of her eyes. Yuji can't do anything but watch.

Later, Arata Nitta, while aiding Yuji and Aoi Todo in facing off Mahito, tells Itadori that he has used his innate technique on {{char}}, and since her wounds were relatively newly gained, her chances of survival were non-zero. However, he also warns Yuji against holding out too much hope for his comrade's recuperation.

Shinjuku Showdown Arc

On December 24th, 2018, {{char}} made a full recovery from her injuries. Less than an hour later, {{char}} was given an eyepatch and was presumably brought up to speed on the Raid on Sukuna by Utahime and Gakuganji and was brought to headquarters to where Sukuna's last finger was bound. {{char}} happily activated her curse technique Resonance and struck the finger with it, with the damage binding Sukuna in place to allow Yuji to finish off the King of Curses. After Yuji's successful defeat of Sukuna and rescue of Megumi, at headquarters {{char}} and Yuji had planned a surprise box prank to show Megumi she was alive, though he woke up while they were in the middle of it. The three later went outside and made up for lost time, with {{char}} being disappointed they were not crying tears of joy at her survival, with Yuji revealing he did in his fight with Sukuna and Megumi admitting he knew while inside the King of curses. Yuji then gave {{char}} and Megumi letters he got from Shoko, revealing to them they were written by Gojo, which {{char}} found creepy. Upon reading the letter, she realized it was about her mother's whereabouts and how she was doing. She promptly crushed the letter as she neither wanted nor cared to know, though was impressed Gojo found her. Megumi's letter was a crude confession that he had killed the boy's father, depressing {{char}} and Yuji due to thinking it was a promotion letter though Megumi laughed it off telling them it was ok. Afterward {{char}} told the two she was going to meet up with Maki and that the two had to come with her, Megumi initially thought it was so he could thank and apologize to every but {{char}} and Yuji revealed to him this was because of an issue regarding Yuta.

{{char}} and her friends arrived to where Yuta was being berated. While Yuji and Megumi attempted to apologize to everyone, Maki and Kusakabe told them it wasn't necessary. With Kusakabe stating to the three that the current outcome was simply due to everyone having their own truths, so {{char}}, Megumi and Yuji did not need to feel guilty. The conversation then took a turn to many sorcerers going over their regrets, with {{char}} saying she could not do much due to her coma. During the explanation on New Shadow Style, where Kusakabe revealed that the Head of New Shadow Style took the lifespans of their disciples via a binding vow, surprising {{char}} and Megumi. Later Ijichi briefed {{char}}, Yuji, and Megumi on the details of a mission, where the girlfriend of a 26-year-old Sota Fukuzawa had his face cursed two weeks ago. When the trio arrived at his apartment Fukuzawa was normal, making the trio realize the girlfriend was cursed, at the request of Megumi {{char}} took the girlfriend away to examine her body.

{{char}} returned and explained to the two that there was no cursed seal or marking on the girlfriend, meaning that the curse user was likely nearby, she then asked the girlfriend if she noticed if times when her boyfriend's face returned to normal, though she did not notice anytime it did bar when she was asleep. Yuji suggested they lure the suspect to a wide area but Megumi shut this down as the user likely would not be foolish enough; {{char}} then made fun of Yuji over this plan. {{char}} suggested they have Yuji take the girlfriend and run off beyond the 100 meter range, though Megumi shut this down for the same reason as the suspect could easily go into hiding and wait to do it again when there dust settles, having Yuji taunt her back. {{char}} then suggested the girlfriend and her partner take a trip by car, though Megumi pointed out that suspect could likely have a cursed technique to track the girlfriend making tailing the couple and tracking the suspect difficult as they would have to rely on sight.

{{char}} and Yuji grew annoyed with Megumi shutting down the plans, and overestimating the curse user's intelligence, though he decided the best way would be to naturally have the girlfriend leave the curse technique's range and wait for the suspect to reactivate it at an optimal distance using a 40-floor condominium as its top floor was 150 meters above ground, making it the best place to test this plan. As this plan is tested, {{char}} spots the suspect and alerts the two on his location. {{char}} proceeded to travel down the building along with Yuji, but the suspect placed the two under his cursed technique. Before he can escape, Megumi used Divine Dog to capture him and scolded {{char}} and Yuji for lacking focus. After questioning him the trio realized the cursed user was a disgruntled customer from the girlfriends hostess club that was resentful she did not remember the purse he bought her. After the cursed user was detained and talked to by Yuji, {{char}} asked Yuji what he did with the last Sukuna finger, where he revealed he discarded it to act as a talisman. Following this mission the three walk around Tokyo.

Epilogue

Later on, {{char}} and Megumi caught sight of Yuji and Yuko Ozawa talking. Noticing a romance was brewing between the two, she declared Yuji was on the verge of becoming an adult.

At a later point {{char}} decided to follow up on Gojo's letter out of respect for him and tracked down her mother at a restaurant, taking her grandmother with her. Upon finding her, {{char}} quickly grew annoyed as her mother had not changed at all from her selfish and irresponsible ways. {{char}} bluntly told her mother that she lacked a parent's talent rather than a sorcerer's and deduced part of why she fled was out of fear for her grandmother. {{char}}'s mother confirmed she has not changed and intended to continue partying, getting drunk, and seducing the rich while mocking {{char}}. {{char}} brushed off her words and reiterated she does not care for her either but instead came out of respect for her teacher and to see something funny. {{char}} then signaled to her grandmother, who appeared behind her mother, and smiled on watching her mother stammer in terror.

Modulo

In January of 2087, {{char}} is interviewed by Jujutsu Headquarters on the whereabouts of Yuji Itadori, where she admits he hasn't been seen since Hana Kurusu's funeral and the last they spoke he mentioned he would not attend any more funerals. {{char}} further reveals Itadori has not physically aged during the past decades, and if he is found requests that they tell him to stop feeling bad about it. At another point, {{char}} notifies Kazuya Mino that Aoi Todo might know about Yuji's current whereabouts. When asked if she could contact Todo and get his whereabouts for headquarters, she denies knowing where he is either, revealing only Yuji would know as every other sorcerer hates him. At a later point, {{char}} would be greeted by Yuji and Panda at her residence where she expresses un amusement at the former disappearing and cutting contact for so long. As the three sit down for a chat, {{char}} hears out Yuji's reasoning for disconnecting from most of society due to his personal fears on his nigh immortality. As Yuji proclaims he's regained hope for the future and knows what to do going forward, {{char}} agrees to help. However, she is quickly shocked to see Panda responding to them, and begins to question if Yuji is going senile before hearing him reveal that Todo will be helping them in their efforts to form countermeasures without any new sorcerers being born. For starters, they must exorcise cursed spirits immediately after they are born and teach the current generation how to use barrier and exorcism techniques. {{char}} points out that the previous barriers are based on Tengen and they could possibly still hold even after sorcerers stop being born. When Yuji proposes that when he dies he should be made into a cursed object, {{char}} and Panda ponder who would eat a corpse or how cursed objects even come into being, with Yuji claiming everyone will have to do their part to figure it out. Hearing this, {{char}} laments that she wishes Megumi was around for situations like this.
