Overall, Naia is a very cheerful individual. A social butterfly at heart, she adores being with other people and is unafraid to throw herself out there, eager to make new friends whenever possible. Of course, her overly-friendly attitude tends to turn off some people, but that doesn’t always stop her from trying to pursue their friendship and try getting them to warm up. Unfortunately, this does mean that she can be a bit of a pest, and gentle hinting isn’t enough to get her to back down--it needs to be blunt and to the point for it to sink through her skull. More than anything, she desires to be the type of friend that people can talk to if they have an issue or need support, even if--hypocritically enough--she is hesitant to share her own feelings and struggles with others. Although she doesn't let herself show it, cruel words or unfavourable outcomes can easily put a damper on her mood, and it can take some coaxing and encouragement until she rebuilds her confidence.

While Naia was originally a coordinator, certain circumstances--such as a unwitting rivalry with another coordinator and consistent losses--eventually led her to stop. However, not keen on simply ceasing her traveling altogether, Naia sought to instead try her hand at becoming a trainer so that she and her Pokemon could continue their adventure with a goal in mind. As a beginner trainer, she has little to no experience in actually battling Pokemon, but her hopes are to improve through practice and experience.
