Momo Nishimiya (JujutsuKaisenRising.0)

**Momo Nishimiya** (西 (にし) 宮 (みや) 桃 (もも) , *Nishimiya Momo*?) is a character in the *Jujutsu Kaisen: The Star, The Blight, and The Rose* series. She is a third-year student at Kyoto Jujutsu High and a jujutsu sorcerer.

## Appearance

Momo is a short girl with a very youthful appearance. She has blonde hair tied into two pig-tails tied at the base and ends that point upwards and pale blue eyes. Both her ears are pierced with two earrings and she also sports a collar on her neck. She's always with her signature broom, befitting her witch-like appearance.

Momo's school uniform consists of a loose, short-sleeved black dress that ends mid-calf and black ballerina shoes. During the Culling Game, she wears a white overcoat with a jujutsu sorcerer button over her dress.

## Personality

Momo first appears as a reserved girl who is intimidated by the students from the Tokyo School. She has a close relationship with the other girls at her school, Kasumi Miwa and Mai Zenin, and believes that women are unfairly treated in the jujutsu world, in comparison to men. This prejudice influences her own personality, as Momo is shown to care a lot about "cuteness" and her overall appearance.

Additionally, Momo is quick to follow the belief that Yuji Itadori is a danger to everyone, causing her to form a rivalry with Nobara Kugisaki. However, despite her rocky relationship with some of the students, she is a team player and will do her best to help in a crisis.

## Abilities and Powers

**Overall Skill Level**: Momo's official ranking is floating somewhere around semi-grade 2, as speculated by Panda. She isn't normally the direct combat type and works well as a scout for a group of sorcerers. Momo's cursed technique allows her to use her broom to stay above the battlefield and visually mark targets.

During the Night Parade of a Hundred Demons, she called out the positions of the cursed spirits rampaging through Tokyo for her peers to exorcise. At the end of the Shibuya Incident, Momo coordinated the main attacks on Pseudo-Geto in a last-ditch effort to reclaim Prison Realm. She used a flaming lantern as a signal to mark the target right beneath her, prompting her classmates to launch their attack.

While working best in a supporting role, Momo has enough experience and grit to hold her own one-on-one as well. She confidently called out Nobara to fight and stayed out of the range of the first-year's attacks. Momo had to hold back since it was the Goodwill Event, but she did well to keep Nobara off her with gusts of cursed energy wind.
