I believe that I could help bring my own skills in role-playing to the table. I have been doing this for a while, see the mask portion, and once I'm active, you can count on me to always participate unless I can't come on which I will warn you when I won't be here. I also have very detailed posts as long as I don't have writer's block and I average about 700 or so words per post because of expectations from other RPs. Because so many sites I have been to have closed down without warning, you can trust that I'm not going to go anywhere.
I want to be this character because I'm tired of previous RPs I have joined where the characters I played were almost Mary Sue. They had both parents, happy and alive with siblings he/she never fought with. Their life was just a fairy tale and I want to play someone with a story. I want to play someone who was a strength to them and is more relatable to everyone. So people understand where she comes from and where she wants to go in life. Naima is by no means rich, she's lower middle class. Her father has been married twice and since she has no other siblings, there is no one she can confide in. But she has friends and that's what matters to her.
I can see that she may help people on the island and in that, help them overcome their own problems and be that shoulder they are looking for. She may also be the cause of some drama because she can still be a catty young girl. On the whole, she'll argue with Jay because she's the kind of person that wants to take control of the situation. That's just the way she is and it may cause trouble between her and Jay, but she's too stubborn to admit she's wrong.
The inspiration for Naima is from a variety of things. Much to many to list. Namely however; the brave but slightly frightened, Dorothy Gale; the curious and daydreamer persona of Alice Liddell; and the kind and caring nature of Snow White.
Naima was born in the beautiful and very unheard of island of Tahiti. Her heart belonged to the ocean, seafood, pearls, and Bob Marley. The reggae music is a constant reminder of where she has come from, "One Love" bringing her that happy place of home. She had lived in Tahiti until she turned 16 and she moved to the states to pursue her education further, along with her father. Breast cancer had taken her mother's life just two months ago. It was heartbreaking for her as an only child and her father who had already lost another wife. An only child, Naima was itching to learn from her mother and now; it was going to be a hands on, learn as you go experience. However, Naima was used to being independent and self-sufficient and often found herself denying others help for projects in school.
That could also be her biggest flaw as well though. She has trouble letting people in to help her. She is independent and will never admit when she needs help until it is far too late. Along with her sometimes not being able to hold her tongue and think before she speaks. Acting as though she's a wise 100 years old also stands in the way of her getting along with peers her age. Her tolerance level is very low and she will snap often. Then the next second she could be laughing merrily by your side. Being over emotional, highly judgmental, and overly fickle adds to her list of 'unappealing' qualities.
On a more serious note, Naima is a devoted supporter to charities. UNICEF, ASPCA, Make-A-Wish Foundation, World Wildlife Fund, and Susan G. Komen to name a few. Her love for animals and living creatures, as well as her heart reaching out to those children in need; she could not help but donate when she can. That is her calling in life as she believes; being a veterinarian. Not a bad dream at all but so few establishments offered it. So she applied and was accepted to the University of Pennsylvania of Veterinary Medicine. An Ivy League school was such an achievement in her family and it made her father so proud. He assures her constantly her mother would have been as well.
For recreation though, Naima simply does volunteer work at the animal shelter nearby. She constantly does charitable work with now being in America. Like, offering services in food drives, gathering old clothing and giving it to organizations that hand it out to the poor and homeless. Naima has even worked in a food bank or two within the past three years of being in the United States. It was a thrilling and very rewarding experience as she knows. She believed that it had made her a better person doing the things she has.
On the side however, Naima can be opposite of what she is normally. For one, she as number of tattoos. On the inside of her wrist, she has a pink Breast cancer ribbon with two holes shaped like hearts on both edges. On the back of her neck, she has a small black heart outline with a purple paw inside. Her last tattoos are a set of graceful angel wings on her back and the quote Alis Volat Propriis, being Latin for "She flies with her own wings," spanning her left flank (like Hayden Panettiere's).

"Just to gift some bread to a friend." She replied while following his eyes to the servants. They were quite flabbergasted by her presence. Liam had assured her that she was alright to be there. It would only be a a matter of minutes before something happened though. She could feel it in her bones. "Nothing too extraordinary, just a small help to her. A kind gesture." She added while watching him intently. Asking about her job, she was unsure of what to say. What would be the best way to word what she was that would not make him think any less than her? Wench was just so...So simple an answer, but very easily a way to make him not want to be around her anymore.
"Well...I work at the pub." Beth answered while twiddling her thumbs and crossing her legs together. She often found ways to occupy her hands and instantaneously broke eye contact when she grew slightly nervous in an awkward situation. As long as it were awkward to her at least. Cogs turned as she thought of how to change the topic. Knowing him slightly better now though, he would not give up on something that intrigued him. He would not give up, not by a long shot. Her hazel eyes then slightly made there way, tracing the frame of his face and then his broad shoulders.
They then watched his hand reach for the goblet of wine and all the way until the rim met his lips. A small blush crawled on her face and she looked back into those entrancing eyes for a split second before going back to her fingernails, as if she had found something that caught her interest again. She reclined slightly so her back rested flat against the surface of the timber chair, the smell of the burning pine wood calmed her nerves. She closed her eyes, feeling the notion of sleep and exhaustion come over her like a huge grew wave, blanketing her a somewhat relief. " I am listening don't fret." She smirked while peeking an eye open in his direction to read his face. Beth did not mean to seem ignorant, but she was tired but wanted to remain here with Liam.
