"*I'm not especially interested in nurturing the next generation or anything, but... It's great that you're putting in effort to cover your weak points, like short-distance combat, but you shouldn't neglect improving on your strong points either.*"

**Fernanda Ishida** ジュヌビエーブ・
イグレシアス (樹野美恵舞) is an alumni and former teacher of Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College, having been classmates with Shoko Ieiri, Satoru Gojo and Suguru Geto. She was the illegitimate child of Angelo Ishida, an established Portuguese merchant, and a shrine maiden. Fernanda is a supporting character and currently acts as an assistant to principal Masamichi Yaga performing various duties both on and off campus.

## Appearance

Fernanda is a tall, fair-skinned woman with mature physical features, which is expected given that her age is assumed to be in her late 20s. She is slender, yet curvy with dark hair and typically wears her hair parted down the middle. She has light blue eyes with visible long eyelashes and full pink lips. Her beauty is renowned throughout many of her associates. Despite her family's past misfortune, in which her father was arrested and everything her family owned was taken from them, Fernanda managed to maintain her fancy and luxurious wardrobe, consisting of everything from stylish and expensive dresses to Louboutin heels. Her normal attire includes an off-white coat with rolled-up sleeves, layered over a dark blue, button-up blouse with puffy sleeves that end in the middle of her forearm, along with a white waist belt. Complementing her ensemble are black high-heeled boots that contrast with the wide-leg design of the jumpsuit's pants. When at the office and in a relaxed state, she may be seen wearing the jumpsuit with sleeves pushed up and pants down, devoid of any embellishments, signifying a comfortable look for the day.

Her style has a sophisticated and elegant look about her that often draws people in. She also tends to wear skirts, sleeveless dresses, embellished collars, and cropped sweaters, appearing to favor dark clothing but she can be observed in lighter tones on an opportunity. She can typically be seen with her hair down whenever she is at the college or Principal Yaga's office. As a Tokyo Jujutsu High student, Fernanda wore the normal school uniform with her hair styled in pigtails. She also wore prescription glasses which she traded for contacts after graduating. On her days off, she may be seen wearing her reading glasses at home. She also wears a lot of jewelry, most of which she has collected over the years, though she has had her hoop earrings since childhood.

## Personality

Fernanda appears to have a very serious personality, as she doesn't seem to smile much if at all and holds an almost expressionless face most of the time. Despite her cute appearance, Fernanda is described as a hostile misanthrope of few words. She is very aware that she comes across as unfriendly and prefers to be alone. Fernanda is also shown frequently to hate being nicknamed, as she dislikes all of the names that Gojo gives her, with 'Zombie' bugging her most of all. Ironically, on the rare occasions that Gojo uses her real name, she takes it as a sign that something is seriously wrong.

In general, Fernanda dislikes people and thus she is not very cooperative and can be stubborn. Mature as she is, Fernanda is very sarcastic, and often expresses this through her interactions with Gojo and Geto, the former due to his eccentricities and frequent insensitivity and the latter due to his snide remarks. Apart from these two, she is quite friendly with anyone as long they don't do inappropriate actions and constantly engage in petty arguments, particularly Nanami, whom she instantly takes a liking to in contrast to his male counterparts of Jujutsu Tech. In general, how Fernanda treats others depends largely on how they treat her; she sometimes says disrespectful things to respectful people, but she is usually kind. She has been described as a tsundere by Gojo and Geto time and time again, though she is shown to be annoyed whenever someone calls her that, usually by doing something that ironically ends up proving their point.

While she talks very little, so when she does, Fernanda states things clearly and appears to be very confident about her arguments. She is cynical and negative with a sharp tongue and sometimes talks in a cold sarcastic manner. While not the type to assertively act on her own, she is stated to have guts and willing to take action when it suits her. Whenever someone does or says something stupid or silly, she is usually seen snickering in the background. It appears that part of her aloof and standoffish personality stems from her mysterious past that she doesn't speak to people about. She gives vague answers about the matter and shows a dislike for people who ask about it, seemingly getting angry after they ask. In her anger, she is more serious in her tone of speech as shown when he sternly told Gojo not to pry into her personal history. Despite her distant and unfriendly personality, Fernanda is good at taking care of others. She is very popular among children, even though she dislikes them. According to her younger sister, Fernanda is actually capable of deep love, something that children might be able to see, explaining their attachment to her. She also shows a more caring side when she accepts gifts and is invited by Utahime to spend time together.

Fernanda will usually wear a façade of polite happiness when talking to higher-ups or the affluent sorcerer families, mainly those she wishes to gain the trust of (though in actuality she cares little). Truthfully, she believes in doing things her own way and generally dislikes following orders she does not agree with. She tends to believe that she knows best, and expects those she is in charge of to follow her lead. She prides herself on being both a strong woman and a capable Sorcerer, which is why she does not take too kindly to those who belittle her in both respects. She is almost always depicted as calm and indifferent, but when angered she is quite the force to contend with, often sadistic in her retaliation. Although people often talk about Jujutsu Sorcerers in an almost heroic sense, Fernanda's image is far from the idea of one. On the contrary, she demonstrates characteristics typical of an antihero and dislikes formalities. She has commented to others previously that because she has witnessed the evil of humankind, in order to combat Cursed Spirits effectively, she must become that evil of which she is forced to fight. Because of this mindset and her actions, it is unknown whether she really cares for those she has befriended or if she just gained their trust to use them.

Fernanda does come with her own flaws. While she keeps her cool, for the most part, but she can be seen getting visibly annoyed when people underestimate her or tell her what she can or can not do, and uses it as motivation to prove them wrong. She seemed to be somewhat sensitive when it comes to her love life, as shown when she overheard Gojo say that she was "past marriageable age", and threatened to kill him for such an "insult". This seems to be a running gag, as she has had similar reactions on multiple occasions.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level:** Being a grade I sorcerer, Fernanda is an exceptionally powerful sorcerer, arguably one of Jujutsu High's strongest graduates. Her most prominent trait is her tremendous intellect. She is well-versed in the history, strategy, and tactics of Jujutsu Sorcery, and is privy to knowledge unknown to many.

Fernanda has proven herself to be a very crafty and cunning woman since leaving her teaching position at the school. She can deceive and manipulate others around her in different ways for a variety of purposes. For years. She has a great talent for analyzing and observing everything in her presence, allowing her to understand a person's pattern of thinking and better manipulate them. She can formulate well-thought-out plans several steps ahead of others, some of which have a long term in mind.

### Physical Prowess

Though certainly not her preferred mode of fighting, Fernanda has shown a considerable degree of skill in hand-to-hand. She appears to have a deep understanding of striking, grappling, and defensive maneuvers, as shown when she easily outmaneuvered and defeated Takuma Ino, another advanced hand-to-hand combatant. She is also a master practitioner of the iaido martial arts.

**Immense Speed**: Fernanda is extremely fast and has extraordinary reflexes. She is capable of moving faster than the eye can see and outpace even the fastest of opponents.

### Intelligence

**Immense Tactical Intellect:** Fernanda's past is showered in enigma, but brief glances has shown her to be extremely intelligent and perceptive since she was very young. Repeatedly, she has demonstrated to be a highly analytical and cunning woman, able to handle situations with various traps and misdirection. She is also shown to quickly determine her opponent's strengths and combat methods. Like her father, Fernanda has a great knowledge of the human body, as shown from her brainwashing technique and ability to manipulate others.

With an IQ rating of 170, she excels greatly in logic and strategy, often preferring to stay back and study her opponents before engaging them, to gain knowledge of their tactics and habits. Mitou almost never goes or has gone into battle without giving room for an enemy's power. She also tended to use weaker long ranged moves to test her opponents from a distance lulling them into false complacency before unleashing a barrage of cunning tactics and powerful techniques. Her quick thinking enabled her to burrow his way out of sure death situations, able to quickly counter any certain debilitating situation. Besides reading her enemies' attack patterns, Mitou also would often make it a point to pinpoint the locations of her enemies tools so that she could remove them in the actual battle and remove a key element of the enemy's unpredictability. She also never relied on the probability of success, with at least two back up plans to any huge action she took. She was even capable of surviving several techniques which caused massive collateral damage after taking several precautions prior to her opponent's attacks against Suguru Geto, who was much more powerful than she was. In every setback, Mitou manages to quickly find a counter or a way to exploit it and reverse the situation, specializing in being able to devise strategies in the heat of battle and the longer she fights with her opponent, the better she is able to analyze their fighting style, attack patterns and deduce their powers.

Mitou is also a very quick-witted individual, able to adjust her strategies and fighting styles to suit the needs of a battle. In numerous occasions, she had won battles simply by using only the most basic and essential techniques employed by a sorcerer, which only prevailed due to superior tactics and her unique strategies. Mitou also has the ability to see to the very heart of a matter, being able to grasp the gravity of a situation with remarkable understanding and clarity, and to make extremely tough calls in split seconds, seeming to deliberate on hundreds of matters in a mere moment. She was also very skilled at defusing tense moments verbally, showing linguistic talents as well. Using all of her wit and charm to prevent friction, Mitou has shown to be a very shrewd negotiator.

### Jujutsu

Fernanda has been shown to not be completely immune to the effects of her cursed technique. In fact, she runs the risk of being overcome by her own madness. It's effects cause her to fall into a crazed state of delirium periodically, drowning in the darkness she refers to as madness. Because of this, she tends to self isolate.

## Relationships

**Masamichi Yaga:** Referring to him "Boss", Fernanda seems to get along rather well with Principal Yaga. After a rough beginning, the two found common ground in their love for cursed corpses. She respects him more than most and Fernanda treats the principal quite well in comparison to the other Jujutsu Sorcerers.

**Satoru Gojo:** Fernanda and Gojo initially have an antagonistic relationship, with both of them having issues with each other's high and mighty attitudes. At first, the two share many disagreements, with Fernanda referring to Gojo as ridiculous and dumb. She was often confused by Gojo's childish personality and believed he was like a mischievous child messing around and constantly acting out for attention. She generally had no patience with him, and at times he acted very intentionally annoying in her company. Because of this, she was rather firm with him, openly stating her annoyance with him out loud, to which Gojo appeared slightly impressed that Fernanda really seemed to know how to stand her ground. Despite their earlier arguments, Gojo seemed to frequently spend time with her, wishing to "take off her mask" and even nicknamed her "Fernie" much to her displeasure. She appears to often get annoyed by his antics but claims she isn't willing to chase him away since it would be a waste of energy.

For Gojo, Fernanda appeared to be one of his classmates he was a bit more interested in, as he appeared to have fun while talking with her and he sometimes seemed to turn more serious and enigmatic while they were talking alone, which seemed to indicate that he had some form of respect for her. Gojo appears to be amused by and in some way fond of Fernanda. He has also more than once mentioned that he is "constantly thinking about" Fernanda, and seems to be intrigued by Fernanda's development. He occasionally makes fun of Fernanda's standoff-ish personality, teasing that she will never get a proper husband with her attitude. Gojo has a tendency to act confrontational towards Fernanda and actively tries to make her question her own way of thinking. He quickly noticed flaws in Fernanda's judgment and cynical way of thinking. While he enjoys messing with her, Gojo appears to feel some care for Fernanda and seems to be unwilling to actually harm her.

**Gilma Ishida**: Fernanda is the sole caretaker of her younger sister Gilma, as their mother passed away shortly after giving birth to her. Fernanda sees Gilma not only as a sister, but also as a daughter figure, whom she loves dearly and whom she can be overly protective of. Since the death of her parents, Gilma has taken over the responsibility to teach and parent her younger sister, willing to exceed any emotional limit. It gets to the point where Fernanda feels forced to use a fake smile regardless of how painful any situation is, simply to comfort her sister. However, despite of how overprotective Fernanda is, Gilma is often on the receiving end of her very rough treatment. This goes back to even their childhood, as Gilma was very often spared from bullying due to the other childrens' fear of her sister.

## Synopsis

### History

Fernanda's childhood is unknown. However it is implied that she was born from an unwanted pregnancy. As her parents did not want to have her, they often abused Fernanda physically and mentally. One can speculate that they abandoned her or had an unfortunate death.

Fernanda was a constantly bullied social outcast which stemmed from her ability to detect cursed spirits from a young age; she desperately tried to make friends and find a place to belong, but failed miserably due to her social paranoia.
