Though she rarely showed her face, Nayomi had been in the clan for a while, actually. She'd joined a few months back in the middle of summer, but had since been unactive. She preferred to stay away and stay low, only leaving the tops of the trees where she would spend her months to hunt. She stayed near the edges of the territory, telling herself that it was to scare off anyone who wanted to invade, but she always bounded away as quietly as possible when there were joiners on the border. If she was being honest with herself, she was just afraid. She was afraid of what this clan would think of her, scared that her facade would drop and she'd be left exposed. She spent most days reminiscing about who she used to be and most nights softly and silently crying, with the occasional break-down. But nobody saw and she was fine.

But Nayomi knew she couldn't hide forever and eventually slowly walked into the camp, hackles raised and yellow eyes sharp and alert. She walked like she had something to prove, like she had people to impress. She constantly, angrily stared down anyone who gave her a second glance. The large tigress stopped next to a stream, taking a break and getting a drink. Suddenly, she remembered one time she got bumped into by an apprentice and fell into this very stream. The memory made her tense and she debated whether or not she'd be happy if someone came up to say hi.

But Nayomi knew she couldn't hide forever and eventually slowly walked into the camp, hackles raised and yellow eyes sharp and alert. She walked like she had something to prove, like she had people to impress. She constantly, angrily stared down anyone who gave her a second glance. The large tigress stopped next to a stream, taking a break and getting a drink. Suddenly, she remembered one time she got bumped into by an apprentice and fell into this very stream. The memory made her tense and she debated whether or not she'd be happy if someone came up to say hi.

Nayomi, unlike the last time she had taken a sip at the pool, didn't jump or even flinch at the sudden appearance. Instead, she calmly finished her drink before looking up at Luca. For some reason, her chest tightened at the remark, a small mix of emotions swirling through her head. The fact that she was remembered made her slightly happy, knowing that she had wasn't completely forgotten during her quiet absence. But the fact that that almost wasn't the case, that he'd thought she left, somehow hurt. Maybe because it reminded her of all the things that she'd been doing when everyone was out there continuing their lives like normal. "Well, I didn't leave," she huffed, the passive aggressive words falling out unintentionally. After a small pause, Nayomi spoke up again with slight curiosity. "Do you remember my name?" she asked.

When Yuri walked over, the woman sighed. She knew that glaring was rude, but she didn't like when she got confronted about it. It made her feel guilty, which then turned into anger as a defense mechanism. Practically every reaction the tigress has is a defensive mechanism, usually anger or vulgarity as a way to cope with her emotions. "I don't like people staring," she explained indifferently, a slight edge to her tone. "I don't even know you. How could I dislike, or like, you?" she explained further, face straight and bored.

nayomi grew up with a gang who considered any sort of sadness, happiness, enthusiasm or other big emotions like that to be weak. if you were weak, you got hurt, so for someone as emotional as nayomi was it was pretty bad. she was outgoing, easily impressed, easily frightened and all around an emotional person, and therefore had to put up a bad girl fake mask. after years of being in this group, her fake, tough and angry persona eventually became part of her, a mask she wore everywhere. whenever she feels sad it turns to anger, whenever she feels happy it turns to coldness on instinct. even when she tries to be herself, it's very hard because this mask has become her. though, when alone, she frequently cries or just has emotional moments to herself.

nayomi has logged on

nayomi: what am i even doing here

nayomi: why did you invite me?

nayomi: i feel bad for you, 'swag master'

nayomi: your username looks like you had a stroke on the keyboard

nayomi: and then you kept it because you knew you couldn't think of anything better

Nayomi was walking along the stream, head in the clouds. It was quite late, so nobody was really around for her to have to glare at or impress, so she was as close to relaxed as she could get. For the first time in a long time, her shoulders were slacked and her sharp yellow eyes weren't as threatening as usual. Thoughts were swarming her head about what the people in this clan though of her, if she'd ever make a real connection to any of them. They knew she was tough and that she wasn't one to mess with, but what if they thought she was a bad person, thought that she was completely unapproachable? Sure, that's exactly what she was, but the tigress couldn't control it. Whenever she tried to open up, it just came out all wrong, a jumble of anger and sarcasm. It hurt the girl to know that's all that people knew about her, that she was just angry.

Then, the tigress saw Lua washing her mask(if that's okay with you). Of course, she didn't know that she was washing her mask, she had no idea what the other girl was doing. But on instinct of seeing another person, her hackles raised and her eyes got sharp and cold. Even though she normally didn't do this, she was desperate to get away from her own thoughts, so she sauntered up to Lua slowly, not making a sound until she was practically right beside her. "What the hell are you doing?" she asked, the dark and her own thoughts making it hard to put the clues together.

nayomi: id like to think that mines pretty relevant

nayomi: the hell's a iplier, anyway, jackass?

//bump

Nayomi was pretty okay with just listening to Lua explain what she was doing, happy to just be talking to someone. But when when the other asked for the tigresses reasoning for being out so late, she tensed up. The red tiger couldn't say thinking, because Lua would want to know what she was thinking about, then what would Nayomi say? Instinctively, and out of defense, Nayomi narrowed her sharp yellow eyes. "None of your business," she growled out lowly. Immediately after she dropped the face, replacing it with one of shock towards what she'd done. Why was she such an ass?

Wanting to move on from the incident as quickly as possible(not even considering apologizing), Nayomi looked down at the mask and back up at Lua's face in curiosity. "Do you always wear the mask? This is the one of the first times I've been out in months so I don't think I've seen you around," she admitted, letting out a fake chuckle. Why did it always come back to this topic? It just seemed this night the usually seemingly put together woman was scattered.

Wow. That was one big clanmate, towering over Nayomi. She wasn't used to being towered over all all, and it caused her to tense up. With her abnormally large size, even for a tiger, it was quite a first. Her sharp yellow eyes narrowed at Dumah's comment about being a hypocrite. Yeah, it was hypocritical, but it wasn't any of the horse's business to comment on either. Nayomi looked up at Dumah in an almost challenging way, exhaling through her nose. Of course, she didn't really think through what might happen if Dumah actually took the look too far and decided it'd be fun to kick the woman around. She never thought things through. Instead, she huffed. "If he hadn't stared at me in the first place, you wouldn't have other people's business to comment on, huh? Would ye?" The tigress sat down, tail swishing side to side, staring up at Dumah for her response to her mocking.

//all ic opinions also yomi needs to CHILL lmao
