Name: Naemi Väyrynen
Age: 18
Nationality: Finn
Gender: Female
Area of birth: Kajaani, Finland
Immunity: Yes
Profession: Hunter
Languages: Finnish, broken Norwegian (she tends to substitute words she doesn't know with the Finnish one)
Personality:Impulsive and reckless Naemi is 98% instincts and 3% brain; a savage who is better suited to prowl along in the silent world than to mingle in with society. She can't read or do math and she certainly won't be waxing poetic about the known world, but she knows the Kajaani lands by heart and can maneuver through beast-infested forests with ease. Hunting is first nature to her—it's all she's ever known, really—and it's evident in the ever-present vigilance set in her perceptive eyes, and in her almost feral soul. Naemi rarely thinks things through before diving headlong into something, and she basically assumes she can accomplish anything with sheer force of will (or just sheer force). She relies on her quick reflexes and intuitions above all, and she has long decided that unnecessary pondering can only hinder one's actions. Idiotically bold, she is flippant in the face of danger; she'll sooner die in action than stand idly by when there are things she can be doing.
Having lost touch with the rest of the known world, Naemi hasn't much in the way of social etiquette. She is blunt and direct, particularly rude to those she dislikes. Working with others doesn't come naturally to her, and it'll be difficult to get her to follow tactics. However, anyone that manages to gain her trust is entreated to her undying loyalty and her tamer, affectionate side. She's actually a puppy behind all that snarl and bite.
Brief Bio:Born to a mostly absent Norwegian father and a Finnish mother who has long since succumbed to the illness, Naemi grew up under the care of their small settlement in Kajaani. Despite having been cleansed years ago, the lands in Kajaani remained unsafe, and their settlement was among the least inhabitable, with their route to the lake obstructed by perilous, uncleansed land and their communication with other cities or settlements nearly inexistent. Her father was part of a group of traders that risked journeying through the silent world to keep what little remained of their settlement thriving. They brought timber, crops, and game and traveled all the way to Pori and back, sometimes twice a day if they made good time. Their expeditions sustained the settlement for years, but one unfortunate encounter with a Troll left most of the trading group's members incapacitated. Since then, they've all been cut off from the rest of the known world.
Abled and immune children in their settlement were required to train as hunters. Naemi learned to fight when she was seven and discovered her forte in archery then. As the settlement's best marksman, her people grew to heavily rely on her to hunt for food and to act as the last line of defense against lurking beasts and occasional trolls. She had keen eyesight and even keener hearing, which helped tremendously when she stalked the dangerous lands, whether in pursuit of game or other creatures to slay.
It was a year ago that a Giant attack left their settlement in ruins (she had been out hunting then, and had been unable to help bolster their defense), forcing the few who survived to risk travelling all the way to Eno. Feeling guilty for her absence, Naemi sought to provide for the remaining survivors and found work where she could. Eventually, one of her employers directed her to the expedition and she immediately took on the offer, under the misconception that she would be able to earn a fortune from it.
Image or Description:Naemi is terribly sensitive to the cold and has therefore taken to wearing excessively warm garments. Underneath her layers of clothing, she's a skinny thing, with just enough meat in her to keep her from looking like a walking skeleton. Also due to malnutrition, she's didn't get to do much growing and stands only at 5'2. There are little scars scattered throughout her body as well, but unlike what many assume, these are not so called badges from her beast or troll hunting stints, but marks left by her arguably evil cat.
