Being someone who enjoys exploring every crack and crevice of Tokyo has some advantages with one being that she's incredibly nimble and another being that she's rather fit compared to other VRMMMO players. Despite her good fitness, she's only about five foot, four inches and is unduly hassled quite a bit for her small height by her brother. Her blond hair is surprisingly natural - although she was born in Japan, only her father is Japanese while her mother is American. If the blond hair didn't draw enough attention to her, her bright blue eyes would finish the job.
Her normal attire is typically geeky t-shirts with some form of pop-culture reference and jeans or shorts in the warmer months. She's an incredibly big fan of hoodies as well and will have her hood up if she's not in the mood to talk or interact like a normal human being - she's typically avoided, what with her weird enough looks already.
Much like her real self, her avatar in Alfheim Online is cursed (or blessed) with small height. This actually isn't so bad considering she isn't a frontliner or a melee fighter who needs physical strength and a body to facilitate that. She's fast though - not Cait Sith sort of fast but a lot faster than most Salamanders.
Her attire in game could best be described as minimalistic. Naomi has yet to run into any reason to fear the consequences of her actions in Alfheim so she doesn't really mind if she shows a little too much skin - it has the guys tripping over one another anyways.
Race: Salamander
Personality: The primary point of Naomi's personality is probably her curiosity - she's an explorer at heart and she follows that out in nearly everything she does. There's not a dish that she won't try or a place she won't visit at least once. So far, her curiosity only served to get her into trouble when she was younger but her interest in the world around her has morphed into a career prospects, of sorts. Granted, she draws the line at drugs and heavier forms of alcohol - she enjoys trying things out but when things become dangerous, she backs down a little.
Naomi always has had a rather rebellious taint. She's never quite been normal or 'fitted-in' so she usually found herself befriending the weirder people in class and subsequently, she got up to weirder things that her parents probably didn't approve of. Nevertheless, any of her bigger rebellions have been stomped out whenever they arose - her parents were loving but strict in their approach. Now that she's older, she's realised that rebellion is simply a statement to her parents and due to the fact that her tuition fees are mostly paid by her parents, she's decided that it's a much better idea to keep her head down. In some regards, Alfheim allows her to forgot any rules or boundaries placed on her - the VRMMO is a liberation from the bores of normal life. Even in the game she doesn't exactly follow the social trend. Unlike nearly every other member of the Salamander, Naomi refuses to take part in their silly wars and refuses to bow down to the Lord of the Salamanders. Granted, they know each other in real life and he's crushing on her so he let her off with the banishment that she really should have received.
Sometimes the barrier between brain and mouth breaks down, however, and she becomes a babbling mess of exposing secrets and offending parties that she really shouldn't offend. Naomi has come to know these as 'blonde moments'. Thankfully, most of the important secrets and facts are hidden amongst a forest of mindless chatter and filler - real professionals, like her brother, have learned to filter out the rubbish and extract the important parts. On occasion, she has been noted to have had an entire conversation with a navigation pixie.
Occupation: Studies architecture and works part-time at a small restaurant. Typically, she's on late at night on the weekend (around 10pm) and earlier during the week (around 7-8pm).
Bio: Parents killed in dark alleyway where she swore vengeance? Nope. Abused by her alcoholic parents before running away from home? Once again, nope! Naomi has had a rather normal childhood and life. Her father studied in America where he met Naomi's mother. For a time, they remained there but when she became pregnant with Naomi's older brother, they decided to return to Japan to raise their children.
Naomi can't say if she appreciated that decision later in life - school was a pain for the first few years as she might have well have been a foreign to the other students. Granted, it didn't help that they chose to live in rural Japan for the first few years where her brother and her stuck out like sore thumbs. Blond hair and blue eyes were apparently rare where the lived because it seemed like her brother and her were walking, talking zoos to some of the other children.
When they moved to Tokyo, things became a little easier and Naomi even found herself making some friends. Granted, they were never really the popular kids who blubbered on about fashion, boys and other deplorable things. Instead, they actually had fun and if it wasn't for that, she probably wouldn't be the quirky individual she is today.
Naomi first found Alfheim Online through a friend who couldn't stop going on about how good it was. Naturally interested, she found herself buying the AmuSphere and a copy of Alfheim Online. And the rest, as they say, is history. She became partially addicted for the few months of summer and spent a massive amount of time building up an expertise in the game and seeing all there was to see. Over that time, she's had a few relationships through it and although it was fun, it proved to be a little awkward in real life.
Strangely, she never levelled any weapons for most of her time in-game. Although it was inefficient, wasting one of her racial passives, she much preferred to use fire magic. For this reason, she's one of the strongest fire mages amongst the Salamanders and thus, one of the strongest in the game. Despite being asked to join countless military crusades and become a close advisor to Mortimer, the leader of the Salamanders, Naomi has always been separated from the rest of her race and prefers the live of a nomad. Some theorized that there was a relationship between her and Mortimer, considering he let her off easily for cowardice in the eyes of the Salamanders, but she's been quick to deny it.
Other: If she's forced to use a weapon then she has a strong enough spear that would do the trick but she does not like falling back on that. Doesn't have a permanent home in Alfheim - she's a nomad and makes quite a bit of money from doing dungeons and selling unwanted weapons or training others.
