Elaina Gojo

Michizane Sugawara (Ancestor)

Gojo Family

Elaina Gojo (五 (ご) 条 (じょう)  イレイナ *Gojō Ireina*) is one of the main protagonists of *Jujutsu Kaisen* and the younger sister to Satoru Gojo. She is a first-year at Tokyo Metropolitan Curse Technical College.

## Appearance

Elaina is described as an adorable, and beautiful young girl with waist length ashen hair, and the large bow on the back of her head is a dark shade of magenta and is at the end of a twisted braid. Satoru describes her as having clear, piercing amber-red eyes that seemed to stare out at the world and skin so pale that it was almost transparent to her blood. On her left arm, she has a black shackle.

Elaina's military version of the school uniform consists of a long-sleeved black coat with a standing collar. The coat has two rows of gold buttons on the front, light green details including the shoulder epaulets, which has a fourragère passing under and around her right side. Along with that, she wears a pair of white gloves, an armband on her left arm, and a white web belt with a gold waist-plate. She also wears the standard black skirt, dark gray thigh-high socks and knee-high black boots.

Her casual appearance does not differentiate much from her uniform. The minor differences are that she doesn't have her gloves and wears a white long-sleeved dress shirt.

## Personality

Elaina has a sarcastic, apathetic attitude and does not put much emotion into her words. She loves teasing others and is quite dry-humored. Elaina generally tends to smirk before teasing or performing her antics towards others, placing them in uncomfortable situations, similar to her brother. She can be proud and arrogant but has a nice, joyful and cheery part of her. She has shown a habit of adressing people with *sama* (Sir./Lady). Rarely, Elaina shows that she can have a scary and manipulating side.

Her personality while fighting is steady and momentum is used to keep her scythe active around foes. She is impulsive and prone to violence. Elaina is chaotic, and such built an emotional barrier to protect herself, treating anyone who tries to get too close to her coldly. When she gets the urge to kill, she becomes giddy and uncontrollably violent, increasing her tone and growling. She learned to control her murderous impulses quickly due to her lack of desires and emotions. She admitted that she has no problem with murder and destruction.

Elaina has a very calm demeanor and can even be seen as stoic. She is very intuitive and mature for her age. She's soft spoken and understanding, preferring to listen rather than speak. She shows surprisingly little emotions when talking to Yuji about her mother's death, suggesting that Elaina is emotionally detached to people she knows and keeps her friends away at an arm's length. Elaina's lack of faith in others caused her to believe that she can only rely on herself, as there is no one else to trust. Because of this, she trusts people less overall and is more negative about things, and messy if she is alone.

Elaina shows that she does not care about the conflict inside her family and the other 2 main families, claiming that family conflicts are what caused the death of her mother. Unlike Satoru, she lacks ambition and only wants to serve well. She explained to some students that she does not actively seek a rise in rank, and her lack of ambition (and Satoru overshadowing her) is what caused her to be cast out from her family. Elaina has come to terms with being incompetent due to her failure in her abilites and the experimentation.

On the other hand, Elaina is surprisingly smart and clever, having brilliant deduction skills which allow her to analyze and solve different problems and come up with battle strategies with great ease and accuracy. Despite being overall brilliant, Elaina gets very average grades. She can always find a solution if she gives it enough thought or effort. Although they are very thought out plans, she does not credit herself for most of what she has done. Shikama Dōji exposed her intelligence stating, " *You know it all. You just pretend that you don't notice. Your playing at being the dispassionate observer.*" to her reply, "*If I did notice everything, that would make my life ever so much more awkward. Not only that, the moment I expose any weakness, you will prompty steal my soul.*" and then Shikama Dōji revealed, "*I won't. I can't. You were not made so that I could. You have a heart of ice, so that no matter how much of your soul is devoured by a curse, you can retain perfect control.*"

After being possessed by Shikama Dōji, her personality changes drastically. She becomes merciless, violent and ruthless, attacking anyone who might pose a threat to her (under Shikama Dōji's influence) this is largely shown when she attacks Mai and Aoi whom Mai tried to kill her. This follows Mai breathlessly telling others to run from her. With Shikama Dōji and her demon power in control, she also attacked Satoru, Yuji, Nobara and Megumi for no reason at all, just for her own amusement. She has also developed the power to cut off one's head with her fingertips or hands.
