Who Nobara is
Nobara came to Tokyo because Tokyo was not her village. She is loud, vain, brave, and the first-year who most clearly likes being a sorcerer. Her technique is the Straw Doll: nails driven into a target with a hammer, and Resonance, which uses a piece of the target on the doll to hurt them from anywhere.
She and Yuji are the ones who kill Eso and Kechizu, the Death Paintings, which is what brings Choso to Shibuya. She fights beside them like she has been doing it for years, and she has been doing it for months.
What happens to Nobara
Manga spoilers, through the last chapter.
In Shibuya, Mahito's Idle Transfiguration takes half her face in chapter 125 and she falls. The manga leaves her fate open for over a hundred chapters. In chapter 267 she is back, alive; Arata Nitta's technique stopped the damage from spreading. In the last fight she lands Resonance on one of Sukuna's fingers, and it is one of the hits that ends him. Nobara is alive at the end of the manga.

- Does Nobara die in JJK?
- No. She is hit by Mahito in Shibuya, chapter 125, and disappears from the story for a long time. Chapter 267 confirms she survived, and she fights in the final battle.
- What is Nobara's cursed technique?
- The Straw Doll Technique. She drives cursed nails into a target with a hammer, or uses Resonance: a piece of the target attached to a straw doll, and whatever she does to the doll happens to them.
- Is Nobara in the final fight?
- Yes. She returns in chapter 267 and uses Resonance on Sukuna's finger, hurting him from inside the fight.
- What happened to Nobara's face?
- Mahito touched it. Idle Transfiguration reshaped part of her face and would have killed her. Arata Nitta's technique froze the damage where it was, which is how she lived.
