[color=ffffff][sup]━━━━━━━━═☆[/sup][/color]
[color=feeeef]Standing at a whopping five foot nothing, Nao likes to joke that she's lacking an arm and a foot. Even so, she has an athletic figure that she doesn't mind flaunting and proudly shows off her prosthetic every chance she gets. It's a labor of love, after all! As an exercise in patience, she has been growing her hair for years, curious to see how long it would take before she gets completely bored of it. Currently, it reaches well past her hips and she has taken to putting up in a braid to keep it out of the way.

Nao prefers dressing for comfort: yoga pants and tights and leggings, plus any top that'll make the ensemble cute. She has a trusty pair of white (and slowly greying) sneakers that she wears with everything.

[sub][color=#fec5e5][b]Personality[/b][/color][/sub]
[color=ffffff][sup]━━━━━━━━═☆[/sup][/color]
[color=feeeef]
On the surface she is a starry-eyed romantic, charming and contagious in her easy laughter and unabashed sense of fun. Befriending people and Pokémon come naturally, in part because of her candor; there is no suspecting her motives as she bares her thoughts and feelings like an open book. On the flip side, lying is nearly impossible for her. In her many previous attempts, she has either blurted out the truth after a while or ended up with a super elaborate and convoluted story that no sane person would ever believe.

It's almost hard to believe that beneath her brand of silliness and carefreeness lies a creative and inquisitive mind, keen on learning. Nao possesses bravado in abundance, and in her voracious desire to learn and explore, she tends to proactively chase new experiences with almost reckless abandon. She figures that if anything goes wrong, she can just think her way out of it.

[sub][color=#fec5e5][b]Short Biography[/b][/color][/sub]
[color=ffffff][sup]━━━━━━━━═☆[/sup][/color]
[color=feeeef]
Although born in Jubilife City in Sinnoh, Nao's parents relocated to the more rural New Bark Town to raise her away from the hustle and bustle of the sprawling city. Her father gave up his esteemed position as lead engineer in the Pokétch Company and opened up a local business, often working for the lab and nearby Pokémon Centers. Growing up, Nao picked up on her dad's passion for tinkering and mechanics and has worked on countless projects and contraptions since, alongside her best friend and partner, Fritz the Porygon.

When she was ten, a fateful trip to the National Park changed her life. Her parents had taken her there to participate in the Bug-Catching contest. Ever the inquisitive soul, Nao wandered deep in the woods, wondering what rare bug-type could be found there. She got her answer pretty quickly, after accidentally stumbling across a sleeping Scyther's den.

Nao had frightened the Scyther awake, and in its alarm, it had blindly lashed out at her and caught her arm. She doesn't remember much beyond the searing pain that knocked her unconscious within seconds. It was unlike anything she'd ever felt, and in the years to come, she would realize that it would raise her threshold for pain considerably. In any case, she must have screamed because someone found her before she'd lost too much blood. Her parents said she was in the hospital for nearly a week.

Waking up with a strange, indescribable sense of loss is one thing she did remember. It took her a while to process. At first, there was a lot of confusion when her attempts to rub her eyes with her hand amounted to nothing. And even more when she realized she couldn't clench her fist, as she tended to do when she was anxious. But once realization did hit—after the bandages came off and she finally got to see what was taken from her—Nao found she was able to easily accept and adapt to her new reality. It had been scarier not knowing.

Getting used to a missing limb was difficult, but once she received her first prosthesis, Nao thrived in the new challenges that awaited her. She relearned everything with her non-dominant left hand and was particularly fascinated with tinkering with her new arm.

Aside from the sudden overprotectiveness and coddling from her parents—and many of her friends and neighbors—Nao found her life didn't change as drastically as she would have thought. She spent the years as she would have with both limbs, adventuring with friends and tinkering and inventing with her partner. She even met her soulmate—a Golett abandoned because of a birth defect; one with a missing limb like hers—not too long ago.

It wasn't until she turned eighteen that she managed to persuade her parents to let her travel, and they only relented because she would be among friends.
