the basics
full name ♦ Naomi Marie Torres nicknames ♦ Nay, Nomi age ♦ nineteen birthday ♦ May 18th, 1999 occupation ♦ Agard Auto Mechanic / Heiress school ♦ Primrose Academy species ♦ Human ability/power ♦ Plant Manipulation how the ability works ♦ Naomi’s ability allows her to shape and manipulate plants, including specific parts of plants such as leaves and roots. Her ability is relatively tame due to her young age, but there’s a wealth of possibilities out there that Naomi is striving towards. Naomi has found that her ability is most strongly tied to trees and flowers and, though she is able to manipulate a variety of things, these come easiest to her. With a certain amount of concentration, Naomi is able to cause flowers to bloom and trees to come to life in a burst of color. Flowers, being so small, don’t require as much concentration and she can successfully bring them to a bloom just by looking at them as she walks by.
Naomi learned rather early on in her ability how to utilize it as a weapon in order to keep herself safe. Tree branches and vines can be pulled down and extended, acting as whips or a protective canopy around her person depending on what the need is. Additionally, a great amount of concentration can allow her to release toxins and pheromones from plants, but the downside is that if she’s present, they can equally poison her.
Because her ability is revolved around living matter, Naomi cannot manipulate fake plants, despite the many questions she gets about that. The further away from plants she is, the less success she has in manipulating them; they typically have to be within eyesight for her to be able to do anything. Excess use of her ability leaves Naomi exhausted, dehydrated, and quite pale. The best remedy that she has found is a tall glass of water and a walk in the sun, the latter of which can be quite difficult when all of her energy has vanished. In addition, the heat from fire makes her ability weaker so she tends to avoid it - which is unfortunate consider most people like to curl up in front of a fire.
gender ♦ Female (she/her) sexuality ♦ Bisexual
the appearance
face claim ♦ Camila Mendes height and weight ♦ 5’2 and 119lbs identifying features ♦ Naomi has her ears pierced and has a single tattoo, “To build a home” beneath her right breast. overall appearance ♦ Smaller than average in stature, Naomi makes up for her height with the way that she carries herself. Exotic features and a sharp jawline are two of her best assets. Naomi leans towards the slim side, but she has curves in all the right places. Dyed black hair frames dark brown eyes that people frequently assume to be black. The days are very rare when she’ll wear her hair in a style that doesn’t involve being loose around her shoulders and is never kept shorter than shoulder length.
Naomi’s dress varies from dark clothes to those that are more vibrant, but you can almost guarantee that whatever she’s wearing is designer. Heels that are four inches are more are almost exclusively what you’ll find attached to her feet unless she’s working or unwinding at home. Unlike many people who come from her walk of life, she regularly goes in for manicures so that she can remove any calluses from working with her hands as much as she does - you would never know how hard she works as a mechanic.
the personality
likes ♦ Bath bombs Shopping Working with her hands Parties Pancakes Arroz con pollo Starbucks
dislikes ♦ Freezing temperatures Hospitals Hangovers Low thread counts in her sheets People thinking she can’t do her job because she’s a woman Waiting (traffic is the bane of her existence) Black coffee
dreams ♦ Naomi would love to be able to open her own auto repair shop. fears ♦ Ending up in Monroeville.
overall personality ♦ Being the daughter of wealthy parents has allowed for Naomi to develop something of an entitled attitude towards life. She is someone that is used to getting the best things when and how she wants them, regardless of how much it costs or who has to be bribed. Having the general appearance of someone who is aloof and filled with a better-than-you attitude, Naomi isn’t quick to make friends outside of the circle of popularity that she has found within the halls of Primrose. Much of her personality is made up of looking down her nose at people and a silver tongue that knows how to deliver insults faster than you can blink. Many of these reactions are knee-jerk responses and Naomi doesn’t have time to consider them until after the fact. Despite that, she’s not someone who is big on apologies and being the bigger person is something that she finds incredibly difficult, resulting in someone who often forces someone else to approach her first if they want to patch things up.
Naomi is extremely opportunistic; she jumps at chances to make herself look better, chances to show off all the things she takes the most pride in. It’s not unusual for her to use someone’s weakness in order to better herself, regardless of how it might affect them. It is for this reason that the rumor mill is one of her biggest assets and she takes full advantage of all the whispers it has to offer. Additionally, Naomi is an equal opportunity flirt. She loves the attention and the way that it makes her feel. The amount of times she’s been called a tease is higher than what anyone would actually care to admit to.
In spite of the negativity that seems to surround her, Naomi is truthfully a different person at Primrose than she is out in the world. She is someone who, while someone still initially distant, likes to joke around and have a bit of fun. She talks to people that she presumably wouldn’t give the time of day and, in many instances, lets herself be silly instead of serious. Letting her hair down, so to speak, is something that has helped to keep her sane over the years. Naomi is someone who carries the passion of a Latina woman in all facets of her life. From extra curricular activities to her work, there is nothing that she doesn’t put her all into. This is something that has come across as competitiveness - which is accurate to a degree. An extremely hard worker, Naomi believes that a job well done should be done on the first try. When it comes to the people that she has formed any type of bond with, Naomi has found herself willing to go to bat for them, regardless of how it looks. Those that she has befriended, however slowly, are people that Naomi trusts; it wouldn’t be unusual for her to defend someone “lesser” to other primbitches if they started in.

overall history ♦ Your eyes are brown. It is a color that seems so plain, but it is the color of your eyes, a brown so dark that certain angles and lightings caused them to appear black. It is a warm hue, soft and innocent. Brown represents the color of earth, a soft strength and sense of welcoming. You were once that way, before the world turned away from you - or before you turned away from the world. Brown represents stability and grounding. It is the soil from which all things, including you, will grow.
Everywhere you look you see the color green. It is the color of life, soothing and hopeful. It is a color that symbolizes energy and your connection with the world around you. Green makes you feel alive and when you reach out to touch the greenery around you, your fingertips buzz with a connection unlike anything you’ve ever felt. The flowers come alive at your touch, tittering to you in order to keep you company when your friends are so little. Green is healing and growth. But within that growth, you find the other side of green. You find greed and envy. Where empathy once stood, apathy now resides.
When you close your eyes, you see only blackness. You feel cold, abandoned. Black represents grief and leaving your home country makes you feel as though you are losing everything. You learn that without black, nothing else in life is vibrant. Black makes you feel confident, so you wear it like armor. When you wear black, nothing from the outside world can hurt you. Black makes you feel powerful.
The brightness of the yellow sun is blinding. Yellow represents happiness, which you feel at being reunited with your cousin. Yellow makes you feel stronger, energized. It is a color that draws your attention and, you find, draws attention to you. Yellow is spontaneous and so are you. You find that planning things takes more effort than what you want to expend. Making instantaneous choices and taking the path less traveled are things you find to be comfortable. Yellow makes you feel critical, both of yourself and those around you. You hate being surrounded by yellow.
Red is associated with Primrose, the school that you have been sent to. It is the blood that runs through your veins and connects you to your family. Red represents agitation, forces you to be demanding and expect people to pull themselves to higher standards when they are around you. Red is a color associated with passion, which you have in droves. You are passionate about the things that you do, the world that you have both come from and found yourself thrust into. Red is the color you paint your lips, confidence radiating from within whenever you pull out your favorite shade. Red makes you confident.
Blue makes you feel safe and calm. It is the color of one of some of your favorite flowers. They say feeling blue indicates being low, but blue makes you feel peaceful. Blue is the color of the sky in the middle of the day, the time of day when you feel like you are at the peak of everything. Blue is a color that makes you feel trustworthy, it is is the color you imagine when you think of your friends. Your mind dreams of the blue waters of Miami and walks along white sandy beaches. It makes you yearn for a life of travel.Blue is the color of her eyes. They are soft and warm, and you feel like you could get lost in them if she let you.
The energy of purple embodies all that you are becoming. Peace and ferocity find common ground in the color purple. It is delicate and precious, as you found your heart to be before it was broken. Purple is associated with royalty and you walk with your head held high enough that a crown should be placed on top of it. Purple makes you impatient. You want things when you want them and find that waiting is pure agony. In spite of this, you always try to be patient. Though your mind is often trying to figure out which way it wants to take you, purple offers a path. There is a magic in the color purple, a sacredness that you dare not disrupt. You associate purple with the possibilities of the world that lies ahead of you.
