Appearance
At first glance, if you were to see her in her normal attire, Na'oni looks like any other Myrian. Her skin and eyes are light brown and in the din of the jungle, her hair appears to be black. If you catch a glimpse of her hair in the sun you will see that is not the case, her hair is actually a very, very dark red. She wears it long and has no facial tattoos or piercings. However the body modifications are blatant when she takes off her cloak or opens her mouth.
She has undergone an extreme form of body modification, scarring her entire body with burns like tiger stripes. Her teeth and nails, finger and toes, are sharpened to points and her clan tattoo is proudly emblazoned in between her small breasts. Her new Prowess mark is just below it, as much of her body is too sensitive to tattooing because her...modifications. But one of the most startling things, to most Myrians anyway, is her height. She falls shorter than most females, about the height of a male of her race.
While in Taloba or the jungles, she tends to go barefoot and bare bodied, the only thing covering her a swath of thin fabric. When in areas with weather unlike her home, she wears the same with a oversized,brightly colored feather cloak draped over her frame. This is not to hide her body modifications in any way, the cloak is usually open, but more to make herself bigger in the same way a cat puffs up its fur.
Personality
Na'oni is...different. To those who don't know her, she seems almost..feral. Those that do know her, know there's a lot going on in that savage's head. She doesn't speak much, using more of a language of feline sounds and quick, blunt sentences. She is slower at learning than most and she only has a good grasp on the Myrian language. In Common, her speech is crude and for that reason, she avoids talking to foreigners if she can. She barely has a grasp on the geography of the world and her knowledge of maths is horribly basic. She tends to barter rather than use money to avoid shopkeepers taking advantage of her lack of knowledge.
While on the outside she seems feral, and while that is mostly true, she has quite a mind for the concepts she does grasp. She is very observant, excellent at taking in the surrounding and keeping an eye on the activity around her. She can read body language well and her keen mind for fighting makes her an excellent Myrian. While she does prefer to be in her morphed form, a tiger, she usually begrudgingly, takes her human form around people.
Na'oni is very dedicated to both Myri and Caiyha and to a lesser degree, Makutsi and Dira, but the God that holds the most reverence to her is Navre. After a kill, be it animal or human, she eats the heart and spills its blood on the ground, not only to give back to Caiyha but to give to Myri as well. She refuses to kill any type of feline and does her best to befriend any she meets, even if it seems unfriendly.
