LE MASQUE MYSTÈRIEUX / adv. apps

[color=black] - she spent the first couple years of her life in an old and rather shanty orphanage in vietnam before being adopted by two newly weds. they weren't having luck in the whole pregnancy thing and yet they both still wanted a kid and then they found nara. she was brought home with her new mother when she was three in august and began her new life in the states.
- her parents were only three years into the marriage and obviously, having nara around ruined their honeymoon period. they ended up fighting often once she began preschool, mainly about her, from the expenses to sexual issues to insurance problems but it was mainly because of nara.
- her mother walked out of her life when nara turned seven, and, it was awful, but it was after celebrating her seventh birthday that another fight occured. her father threw a fist and that was that. her mother gathered her stuff and left with a dark bruise beginning to form on her face and a promise to nara that she was coming back. her father had been begging for her mother to stay and that he was sorry but she took the car and ran.
- growing up was rough for nara afterwards, her father fell to shambles and she was entrusted with the job of taking care of him, hence her rather motherly tendencies. she ended up being the one to cook and clean and remind her dad about basic necessities, such as eating or going to work. it was difficult, what with her being so young and already worrying about things she shouldn't have to for another couple years.
- it wasn't enough for her father to be the only one suffering, though. he had trouble grasping the fact that he was deteriorating and nara was the one keeping him from doing so. he felt as if she were nagging at him, much like his wife was and that was too much for him. he went from telling her to stop to verbally abusing her to physically abusing her. he was angry, vengeful, he felt as if it was nara's fault that his wife walked away and nara did too. she allowed him to hurt her because he was family and he was upset and he needed to release aggression. so she enabled it.
- she continued juggling school, her social life, and her home life until she turned fifteen, in which her mother abruptly showed up one night and claimed that she was back for nara, to pick her up and get her out of there. and nara had considered it but who would take care of her father while she was gone? not to mention, her mother didn't seem to be in the best of shapes either. so nara declined and her mother got angry. violent. it was obvious that her mother had been on something that night.
- her father woke up due to the noise and an all out screaming match broke out between her parents. the fight went on until the wee hours of dawn when her mother chucked a vase at her father, which shattered on impact and her father fell to the floor with a groan. her mother ended up freaking out, nara flicked on the lights, flashing lights could be seen through the curtain and rough knocks against the door kicked nara into action.
- nara got her mother out the back door and from there, nara hadn't seen her mother since. she explained the situation to the cops, told them that they didn't want to press charges and rode in the back of the ambulance with her father.
- they stitched him up and upon nara finding out that he was fine, she left the hospital. alone. she hasn't returned home since.

[color=black]
- she rarely rarely rarely ever has captions on her instagram. ever. she doesn't believe in captions and just posts a bunch of aesthetically pleasing photos.
- she's disgusted with instagram stories. absolutely disgusted with it and anyone who uses it. she's a total snapchat hoe, no doubt about it.
- it's not as if she likes taking care of people, it's more like she feels obligated to do it, like it's her duty or something. she doesn't like seeing people in distress or harming themselves or anything.
- she's way too chill about everything like someone could burn her house down and she would still be insanely solemn and relaxed.
- she doesn't know how to ask for help if she needs it. she's so stubbornly independent and won't bother requesting it. she could be lost in the middle of nowhere and still wander around until something happens because she doesn't want to ask for help. sometimes out of embarrassment, sometimes because she's being stubborn.
- doesn't like people noticing her, for whatever reason. so when she's doing something, she tries to be as discreet as possible.
- during hits, she's scary ruthless. it's really just a chance for her to release pent up aggression, so mercy and forgiveness are the first things to go straight out the window. this is probably why she seems so dead calm all the time.
- the only thing to get her riled up outside of her hits would be dumb idiots who treat her like a child because she's feminine. she's a firm believer that women (and feminine-presenting people) can do whatever the hell they want. oh, and traffic. she's terribly impatient and traffic destroys her very existence.
- usually seen fixing her bangs or biting on her nails or on her phone. there is no in between.
- is a fan of neutral colors, so tans, beiges, and browns, oddly enough. and enjoys being the designated driver. she's a bit odd.
