Naomi Minoru

Naomi Minoru

<jungle> | 22 | Bi-curious

Full name: Naomi Fukomio Minoru
Gender: Well female duh
Occupation: Historical reenactor and shrine priestess  and sometimes professional stalker?
Home: With Tadashi Minori
Face Claim: Saber from the Fate series



Hair: Naomi almost always keeps her hair pulled up in some elaborate style, the style may change but she is partial to braids and loops. Color would be a bright blond with yellow toning.
Eyes: Ohh that is a hard one, you'd think not but it is, because depending on the lighting they might blue or green or a mix, and then when she pulled on aura her eyes pick up a yellow, though she has no idea why.
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 140lbs
Unique Features: Some scars from sword training gone wrong, including one across her back, is outright missing the fingernails on her right pinky and ring finger.
Body:

• larger bust than she'd prefer, hey those things are hard to wrap for decent training
  
• trim and fit stomach that she is terribly proud of thank you
  
• long fingers with thin wrists but hide how very talented she is with a sword
  
• slim set shoulders, her shoulder blades stand out at her back even
  
• pale ivory skintone but she does tan in the summer
  

Clothing Style: Naomi might be the most confusing person for matter of dress. Sometimes she make completely sense in her outfit for the day, sometimes she really needs the fashion police called on her. See her problem is that she does reenacting. That means her closest has a little bit of everything in it. You want Japanese style from 100 years ago, she has that, English fashion from 200 years ago? Totally has that too! Midevil armor? Oh yeah. Now take all that and put it in the hands of a woman that will happy mix it all up just because she can and sometimes she is lazy and puts on whatever is clean and sitting on top. So might have her in a kimono that went out of stype 50 years ago with bits of plate armor and tennis shoes and Naomi will own that outfit and work it like she totally meant to pull something so random together. Sometimes she manages to care more and roll with things that make sense, she likes suits, or pretty dresses, or will embrace her oddities and go full out with outdated fashion.



Likes:

• early mornings before the sun has risen
  
• teaching someone something new
  
• amusing missions that test her
  
• flirting openingly
  
• chances of dressing up
  
• sharpening bladed weapons
  
• dramas in stories or real life
  
• rambling at people
  
• when her off the wall plans honestly work right
  

Dislikes:

• pissing off Tadashi.... oops
  
• people throwing her failed marriage in her face
  
• failing a mission thanks to someone else
  
• other clans getting all up in arms over stupid crap
  
• anyone that disrespects a shrine
  
• boring history lectures
  
• that Tadashi is moving on with his life
  
• not really being a part of the green clan
  
• her height annoys her alright
  
• anyone that touches her swords
  

Strengths:

• has formal sword training, in for show only katas and real sword fighting
  
• hard to predict and get a real read on what she is going to do, she is way too random
  
• very personable and easy to talk to or get along with, she is just naturally outgoing and bubbly
  

Weaknesses:

• really is too easily distracted, no really mention something random in a fight and she will be thrown off, flash something shiny at her, promise her food, bam attention is gone!
  
• food, food is a big weakness of her, honest promise her lunch or even whip out a pack of crackers and she will be your best friend, at least while she munches
  
• Tadashi, as much as she swears he's not, and that he's an asshole, if someone targets Tad she is likely to claw their eyes out in a rage, leave him out of crap
  

Fears/Secrets: For some reason fears Tad completely moving on and finding happiness, because then where is she going to go? It is not like she really makes enough money to live on her own, and let's face it she knows she's not responsible enough to try to support herself. So also goes for him kicking her out and her having to waddle to a shrine like a kicked puppy. Her only real secret would be the reason why she broke things off with Tad, though he found out why, she cheated on him with another guy, got pregnant and lost the child all within two months.

Habits:

• typically always has her hair pulled back for convenience sake
  
• does in fact carry a sword pretty much all the same, a nice ceremony sword that is well taken care of
  
• flips through topics and conversations without warning but always loops back to finish them at some point
• plays on her phone far more often than is at all polite
  
• forgets to change out of costumes from jobs and pretty much will stroll down the street in plate armor or such
  

Personality: Naomi really comes off far too childish for her age, like she got mentally stuck somewhere around 15 and never bothered to grow up in the real world. Which might not be far from the truth, she has never had to take care of herself, too use to others always being there for her so she never really had to face things herself. It has left her oddly innocent in a lot of ways, consequences mean nothing to her because she has always done what she wanted and nothing bad has ever really happened. Naomi is bubbly and outgoing to the level that she will talk to anyone, that weird person hanging out with a gun in his pants and staring at people like he might snap and kill them, oh yeah she will bounce up and ramble about anything to him. It is just how she is. It is not that she sees the good in people, just that she likes people, the good and the bad. Added on that she has always been able to defend herself and turn it into a game of sorts, and well Naomi never has had to worry about her own safety. Though that does touch on something, to her everything is a bit of a game really, to see what others do and what happens when she does one tiny action that can set off so many things. It is all about possibilities really, and she loves to see those possibilities explode outwards to lay out a story.

Really Naomi is not the best person, her morals are a bit twisted and mostly focused on her own well being. She will use people and manipulate people as she needs to, playing innocent and sweet because in a way she is, and isn't at the same time. She doesn't typically mean any harm by it. Never really has gone with the intention of causing harm and pain but sometimes it happens and she just shrugs and moves on. She is carefree, that much is easy to figure out, she had no reason not to be carefree, her life is pretty much just an open game. Naomi will flirt and tease people at random, she might not mean anything by it, or she might honestly be coming on to someone, it can be impossible to tell unless she admits to either. Just like her teasing might not be meant as being cruel just her ideas of what is right and wrong never have been the best. She is more alive around people, on her own she is quieter and less animated, society really just makes her bloom.

The things she cares about Naomi will care about with her whole heart, which mostly seems to be history, shrines and in some twisted way Tadashi still. Oh and her swords. She has two and they are her babies, she will dare someone to say otherwise. History was just something that clicked for her in school years, she has perfect memory for it, can ramble about anything in history in great detail. Not just history in Japan but world history. Shrines are from a family thing, most the women in her family were plead to shrines, Naomi loves them because she grew up mostly in them and they just have a feel to them that can relax her. Tad is complicated because she had thought she loved him, and maybe she still does, but at the same time he pisses her off and she wants to cut his pretty face off, though heaven forbid anyone else threaten him. So things get tricky on things she likes, because she is pretty sure if she had to pick between saving Tad or her swords she would pick her swords and then skip his funeral because wow that would be awkward.







Birthplace: Okayama, Japan

Family: Her parents are alive and back home, has an older brother that is somewhere around Tokyo she thinks, never did keep up with him

History: Naomi is a shrine brat really, her family has a shrine they upkeep and take care of, her family history is full of shrine priests and priestesses. So she grew up on a shrine, with good hard working parents that treated her like a little fairy tale princess. Oh they were broke but never let it show and never let their children understand that hardship, upkeep for a shrine isn't exactly cheap. Was only thanks to a scholarship that Naomi was able to get into a prestigious school, the governments way of saying thanks for running a shrine. It worked out because that was how Naomi got to meet Tadashi Minoru and everything in her life happened because of meeting him.

Things to her were something of a love story.

The cutest boy in class was the quietest and the most moody person to every be encountered, but he was sweet in an oddly quiet way. He was the first to offer a spare pencil, or to share notes with people. Just because everyone else wanted to use his help and ignore him didn't mean Naomi would ignore him. So she got to get her knight in shining armor to open up to her. To learn that he could be witty and offer the sweetest little smiles that were so different than his polite masks. It really was a love story. He never told her to hush or stay still, never cut her annoyed looks whens he bounced all over the place. He listened to her and would keep up with calm but meaningful comments or questions. Of course she fell for him, hard at that, hard and fast and completely. Naomi's life revolved around Tad. He was why she got up in the morning and he was in her dreams when she went to bed.

He finished school a year early so she dropped classes, they didn't matter, not when she had to do a year at a shrine. Really her work was already set in stone, she'd been doing ceremonies since she was hold enough to waddle behind her mother. It was a family thing, expected of her, it was just lucky that Naomi loved the idea of it, the romance of things even. Dropping her classes meant they still got to hang out some at least, which was why she did it of course. And then he asked about marriage and everything was just perfect! Naomi just knew he felt the same for her and of course she said yes. He was everything to her.

Except she wasn't everything to him. Funny how married life showed that. Or maybe she'd been blind before. After all Tad had always been there, she could call him at two in the morning and he'd answer just to listen to her talk about anything. She could count on him to help her and to care. Of course Naomi thought he loved her. He had to, right? But they were married now and they felt like strangers. Naomi understood he had to go through training, she had long hours as well, practices and traveling to other shrines. She still made time to go take him lunch, still tried and failed to cook him dinner. They were drifting farther apart married than they ever had as friends.

It hurt enough she threw her energy into other things. Was how she found <jungle> anyway, and it was something to take up her time in an empty apartment. Naomi could throw all her energy into missions when she found out about them. Didn't take her long to go through a level and it was just kind of awesome. Meant she she was distracted enough for a while that things continued on at home and she was okay with it. Tad finished training and had more time on his hands, Naomi dropped shows and reassigned ceremonies to be able to spend time with him. It was just how it was, she would rearrange everything for him. They did spend time together, almost like they use to, hanging out and relearning each other really.

So five years went by. Well Naomi never was good at keeping track of things. Five years and she was lonely. Five years and she felt like her husband was a stranger. She ranted and rambled online, on the jungle forums and well it was kind of an accident, the flirting. She didn't even mean anything when she meet up with someone for dinner. Just it was lonely eating along at home because Tad was working late on a case. Things happened and yes it was her fault, she started the flirting, she kissed the guy and she fell in bed with the guy. It happened. More than once. Yes more than once. When Tad was home she would stay home and spend time with him like things were normal. When he wasn't home she went out and generally fell into someone else's bed. There were a string of guys. But at least she felt wanted.

Every woman fears missing their time of the month. Naomi was smart and went to a doctor and was told the worst news possible. A smart person at this point would have done a break down and went and told their husband. Naomi didn't do that at all. Oh she did a freak out, for a solid week. Tried to deny everything in her own mind. Then came up with the great idea she would just pass it off as Tad's. Maybe with a child things would be better between them, he would pay her more attention. Problem is that Naomi never claimed to be a good person, or a good adult, and she should have laid off some things. Like oh fight reenactments.

Miscarriage happened, painfully at that, and she got carted off to the hospital. Sobbing her lungs out. Because well maybe she never did get around to telling Tad. Naomi knew exactly how this was going to happen, she knew it because she knew him. So she just cut out all the drama that he would hate and that would make him hate her even more. Called for a lawyer before she let the hospital call her husband. Harsh but she knew what would happen. He would try to make things right and blame himself and hate himself. Tad would ruin his entire life to try to make her happy. Still it hurt to watch him walk in the room, to see as things clicked in place and he shut down. Hurt more to listen to him walk out as she hid like hiding would do any good.

He didn't come back for her. Naomi didn't see him till she was released and made it home, only to be coldly told to move rooms. Which was better than being kicked out. It still stung. She accepted it because it was her own fault and when he left she shifted all of her belongings. Tried to pretend things were the same though, she burnt dinner that night and waited up for him. Waited and waited and he never came home. That was what drove it home. She messed up. She lost him.

Naomi has thrown herself into anything she can really, mostly work and <jungle>. Anything to pass time and make her forget what she lost. She'd preferred things stay how they were to this. This is cold and miserable. Oh she has run of the apartment, Tadashi stocks food and sometimes even cooks for her still, but he rarely says anything to her. Normally he come home at some point smelling of smoke and drink and bids her a quiet 'goodnight' before retreating to his room. That's it. Not even friends anymore. So yes, her life is work and doing missions now days, and yes maybe she does stalk Tad more often than she should. Just maybe she knows what routes he patrols and what bars he tends to drift to. Oops?



Abilities: Naomi has made it to N rank in <jungle>, which she is so terribly proud of. This means she does have great control over lightening based attacks but she loves playing with making things intangible. In fact she has turned it into an art form for fighting or general missions. Mostly because she gets distracted with lightening and will shock herself, which hurts let her tell you. Can run aura through her swords but she is too easy distracted to keep it up for long, and too emotional to not zap herself at the same time often. Intangibility for some reason just works better for her, and she is great at messing with people, making their weapons go intangible, or her flipping through a weapon, or a chair. Sometimes likes to throw something at someone to distract them, but the item is not solid, so that she can follow up with her real attack. Alas her rank does limit her to one item at a time and well sometimes she forgets that at the worst of times. There are the times she gets distracted and forgets that she is messing with as well, those times get painful every once and a while.

Trivia:

• totally jealous of Tad's cat
  
• has named her two swords, Anastasia and Innokenti
  
• ice cream is amazing
  
• never can level up past N, tends to piss off someone and lose points and then make them up and so on
  
• still pretty much sleeps around more than she should
