Physical Description: Naomi cuts an impressive figure. She stands at 5'8", easily surpassing the national average. At 140 pounds, she weighs an average amount. She has good posture and stands straight. She has an inverted triangle body type. Her body is toned from frequent exercise, resulting in a physique that is both conventionally attractive and functional. She is half-Israeli and half-Japanese, with pale skin and slightly warm undertones.
Her head is average size, and her face is heart-shaped, with round cheeks and a slim jawline and chin. She has big, round, monolid brown eyes. Her nose is button-shaped and delicate, and she also has a wide mouth, full lips, and a big smile. Her hair, though naturally brown, has been dyed a pastel, bubble-gum pink. She wears it down to her back. Her eyebrows are thin and neat and remain their natural color.
Naomi's fashion sense skews gothic—distinctly black, with only the occasional splash of white or pink. She favors light clothing that allows for comfort, even while in motion. On the day of the trip, she wore a black leather motorcycle jacket, a black turtleneck, black alpine pants, and a pair of athletic shoes.
Background:
- Naomi was born to David Faith, an architect, and Maya Faith (née Watanabe), a designer. She's a Tacoma native, born and bred. As a result of their income, she grew up comfortably, wanting for little, though she was not spoiled, and grew up without the pointless frills of excessive wealth.
- As a young child, it turned out that she had a knack for befriending others. With a warm, friendly demeanor, and a strong desire to always do the right thing, she attracted others to her, becoming a social butterfly. At the same time, she can be trustful and naïve as a result of her sunny nature. These traits persist to this day.
- Naomi was average academically throughout her time in public education, though not due to being unintelligent. She found herself interested in social subjects rather than dry academia and thus, during that period, spent more time socializing with her peers or running on the track than learning in the classroom.
- She took to personal fitness due to her genuine enjoyment of physical activities. Naomi likes to be in motion and enjoys running, sports, and exercise in general. She also eats healthily and is a vegetarian for moral reasons—she feels uncomfortable with the idea of eating animals in general, not helped by the conditions of the meat industry.
- Naomi is a deeply empathetic and moral person with a strong sense of justice. She strongly believes in making the world a better place. While she is not judgemental of others, she can be somewhat overbearing, with heavy-handed attempts to be helpful.
- While not inherently political, her views have resulted in her taking a strong stance on social issues. She is intensely progressive—human rights, social welfare, and healthcare are all areas where she pushes for improvements. These views place Naomi on the left, although she considers herself independent.
- She enjoys gothic fashions, finding their stark mix of colors and designs to be appealing. Otherwise, she isn't knowledgeable about the subculture as a whole. Sometimes, due in part to her cheery nature, Naomi is branded as a "fake goth" by others.
- Naomi also enjoys video games. In particular, she likes games with an athletic bent and fighting games. She enjoys being kept on her toes, both physically and mentally. Her favorites include Wii Sports and Street Fighter.
- Due to her desire to do the right thing, Naomi has opted to pursue counseling and social work as her field of study. She hopes that she will be able to use the skills she is learning at the University of Cascadia to improve the lives of others.
- Naomi did not plan to attend the trip to Severniy Norin at first but was persuaded to serve as a sighted guide for a blind student, Luca Kobalt, who would otherwise not have been allowed to attend. She stood out for her relentless optimism, which some thought might counter the pessimism of her charge.
Skills and Interests: Counseling, Social Work, Personal Fitness, Video Games, Gothic Fashion
Assets: Naomi is a relentless optimist with a bright smile and an infectious attitude: nothing keeps her down for long, and she can remain positive in most circumstances. In addition, she is endearing and charismatic, able to rally and sway others to her side. Lastly, her physical fitness will allow her to keep pace and fight back against hostile opponents, should it be necessary.
Limitations: Naomi's optimism is so strong that it can become blinding, limiting her ability to make negative judgments or stick to realistic sentiments. She is also very trusting, always thinking the best of others, which could lead to others taking advantage of her for being gullible. She is also moral and strives to do the right thing, which will impede her from making choices against her conscience.
