QUESTIONNAIRE:
How do you define "success"? What is something you're ambitious about?

Success for Nobara is when a positive outcome occurs for herself - and partly those around her that she would consider to be a friend. An example is a fight with Special Grades, which required her to physically and mentally push herself to the point of hurting herself. Despite being bloodied and beaten up, Nobara will count that as a successful mission because she was able to defeat the curses and survive another day. She doesn't let possible, causalities to allow a mission to be counted as a 'failure' because Nobara is fully aware that you can not save everyone, and she understands that.

She is ambitious about being able to succeed in her dreams of getting away from her home village and basically have fun, make money and enjoy life. Nobara is stubborn and motivated enough that she isn't going to back down from -anything- easily.

What is the most frightening thing you've ever done? What part of you did it test the most?

The mission in Shibuya is no doubt the most challenging and scariest mission that she has gone on. It's not like anything she has faced before where when it gets tough, a teacher can come in and give them a hand because even the teachers are struggling on their own. It is basically there that she realises how strong a Grade 1 is compared to herself and how much ease they can kill curses lower than Grade 1, but higher than her. This is a situation where she sees a large amount of people turn into mutated creatures, which is a tough sight to swallow.

It became a true test for Nobara, along with her friends, since it became a dangerous situation fast and a matter of life and death where even the strongest can fall. In many moments, it is important to fight their hardest and to back off when they need to do so - if they are capable of doing so.

What is your favorite diversion? Hobbies, indulgences, vices? Would you put off important things for that diversion, or would you be more strict about how you spend your time and/or money?

Shopping, exploring and video games. Nobara will much rather blow off homework to go out and do what she wants to do. When it comes down to it, Nobara is like any other high school girl who wants to live a regular life and spend what she has on what she wants. You only get to live your life once, and you never know when it is going to end after all. That said, she isn't the type to let it distract her too much and is able to balance it decently because she hasn't gotten broke at this point yet and when she needs to get to take something seriously, she will - but she will naturally prefer to be doing something else that she enjoys doing.

An oni of the Shuten Clan has gone completely berserk, and is going on a violent rampage through the city. You can't stop him, but you CAN lead him elsewhere, but you only have two choices: a road by a discotheque with a large crowd in front, or the nearby park that you do not know is unoccupied, and may have children present. What do you choose, and why?

The choice that Nobara will go for is the road with a crowd because adults are most likely to be able to defend themselves, and it isn't as if the option to the park would be a better one since it could contain adults and children. She'll pick the lesser of two evils, so to speak, given it's a lose-lose situation no matter what she picks. This drives Nobara to go with what her gut instinct would be because at least she is aware of what type of crowd she is dealing with, what the possible impact it can cause to the area around there.

Nobara prefers to go where she has an idea or the situation rather than one where she will be blind.

POWERS & ABILITIES: wiki

In her world, there is a power source known as Cursed Energy, which Jujutsu Sorcerer's can harness it in order to manipulate and use it in combat. It is born out of negative emotions that everyone has, but people need to possess a certain amount of it in order to see curses and jujutsu. Nobara is part of that select group who can use it. This allows her to protect herself from injury, ranging from small to mild. However, it doesn't make her immortal, since Cursed Energy can be used for powerful attacks.

Nobara's speciality is being able to imbued her energy into her tools, mainly the nails that she uses with the Straw Doll Technique. Her main limitations will be how many tools are at her dispose, as Nobara has a large amount of Cursed Energy that she doesn't need to worry about running out of. So, if Nobara were to run out of nails, then she will be in quite a sticky situation. Onto her Straw Doll Technique, this is a skill that she personally is highly killed in and one of her Innate Techniques, which is one that can not be copied by most people due to the talent they are required to possess. She is able to manipulate the use of her hammer, nails and straw doll. There is no real strain put on to her to use them as with her Cursed Energy, Nobara can make her nails float in midair which makes hitting them with a hammer easy. This is a mid to long range offensive attack.

Her Straw Doll can act as a proxy for her target as long as she has a physical piece of them attached to it. If she were to put a nail into the doll's arm, then their arm would become injured and if she does hit it where one's heart is located it would have the same effect. This ability is known as Resonance. There is no limit to what she can do with it - naturally, this will change inside Jigokucho where it's range will be limited and also the strength of her attack.

Another skill that Nobara can do, with her nails, is called Hairpin. This is where she can make the nails that have her Cursed Energy imbued in it basically explode by pouring even more energy into it. Her techniques are compatible with another one known as Black Flash, which is a devastating attack against others. This isn't a technique that she can do whenever she wants, though, as it requires incredible concentration.

Nobara's weak points would be her physical body, with its strength and endurance. An example is when she and Itadori are attacked by Death Painting Curses and are exposed to their poisonous blood. Itadori is stated to have 15 minutes to live, meanwhile Nobara would have 10. This situation actually displays how on the other end, her mental strength is on another level as she has the guts to do the job and injury herself physically. A debuff that will be placed on her once in Jigokucho will be that her Cursed Energy will also be limited, so she will have to be mindful of her attacks.

SUITABILITY:

Nobara, while only 16, has basically been exposed to all of it given that she fights Curses, creatures that can be quite gruesome and have also killed those with a physical body. The world in the game and her actual world won't be too different from each other when it comes down to the core of it. The only aspect she would not be largely exposed to is sex and drugs, but it's minor when it comes to the grand scheme of violent, death and crime. Her reaction to the former will be a mature one since in her line of duty you sort of need to be able to have guts of steel, otherwise they wouldn't be able to surivive a world where it's often a matter of life and death.

FACTION SUITABILITY:
Shuten Clan

Their philosophy isn't too far off what she has seen in the sorcery world - not that she agree's with their views. She won't be interested in the idea of gambling, but sports she would not mind and Nobara does like to show off her strength when she is able to do so. Nobara can respect that they understand that power comes with responseability so she will be able to get along with them in that sense. Lying is something she does not do very often - only when she believes that she needs to do it or to shelter ones innocences. There is a chance that she will come into conflict with their code.

Tamamo Clan

The Tamamo philosophy of indulgence is one that Nobara can very much get behind given that she loves to do what she wants and express her own freedom. She moved away from her village in order to escape it and explore her own freedom and life. While she would prefer to give people a physical punishment, she would be able to understand follow through with depriving of freedom. Nobara can be cunning when she wants to be, although sometimes she does let her feelings get the better of her and become hot headed. Nobara is proud of being who she is and showing that off - something that would matter to the Clan. She will happily use her skills to help benefit them.

Sutoku Alliance

Collection information and sitting more on the side lines isn't her strong point because Nobara does like to get her hands dirty. That said, she can understand the 'the people need power, and power requires those with the wisdom to manage it' and won't mind falling into line with it. They won't be the best fit her given that she would struggle with their asceticism. But, Nobara is smart enough to be able to collect information and be a broker while keeping an open mind on gathering new personal skills for herself.

Department of Enma

This is another one she won't mesh while with a lot, but is something she is still able to do. Nobara doesn't really like to follow the rules, after all rules are to be broken in her eyes and being told what to do doesn't always work. Nobara does pride herself in being able to protect the innocent and punish the those who are not. She will be able to appricate that they won't let the system be corrupted because she has seen how that goes with Jujutsu's. She would be a loyal asset to them at the very leasy and she'll do her job if she has to.
