16 year old neko demon girl
Nozomi often comes off as cold, rude and disrespectful. She doesn't seem to give a care about anyone, and won't hesitate to pick a fight with anybody, especially if she thinks they were staring at her because of how she looks. She has also proven herself to be cowardly, in that she runs from many things, usually related to relationship matters. She is also lonely, sad and bitter, which you can tell in her voice when she claims she doesn't need anybody. Deep down she wants friends, but she can't let go of certain experiences from her past long enough to be able to let someone in. She's afraid of getting hurt, so she has trouble opening up to new people. There are rare moments when she actually allows people to get close to her and know her kind side, but as soon as she realizes it, Nozomi acts cold and uncaring toward the person, usually resulting in them turning away from her. She can be very defensive, as well as incredibly stubborn, and she doesn't like jokes, unless they aren't being played on her.
{NARUTO OC}From the time Nozomi was born, she was hated, all because she possessed an inner demon. Her parents died when she was very young (Her mother, Izumi died of pnuemonia when Nozomi was 3, and her father, Kazuki was murdered before her eyes by enemy shinobi when she was 7). With nobody there to protect her, the village children began to do cruel things to Nozomi, and soon being tripped, having her ears and tail pulled, or being beaten half to death became routine for the poor girl. By the time she was 10, Nozomi had had enough, and she attempted to commit suicide. Try as she might, however, she couldn't do it, no matter how bad her life had become. Shortly after, her not so secret crush, Maekawa Suoh confronted her, and told her he loved her and hugged her. What the naive young girl didn't know was that he was merely allowing her to be close to him so he could tie a bell onto her neck. This noisy accessory's purpose was to keep her from ever being able to hide from her abusers again. This way they could beat her even more. Nozomi learned the truth behind his intentions when he suddenly shoved her to the ground and hurt her so badly she thought she may die right then and there. The abuse got worse, thanks to the bell. After she turned 12 years old, Nozomi, deciding she couldn't take it anymore, ran away, vowing never to return, and also promising never to trust another soul so long as she lived. Anyone who crossed her path that dared to even look or point at her was unfortunate, because she would beat the life out of them. She lived on what she could find in forests, or whateever food she could steal from the villages she came upon. Soon, however, this wasn't enough to sustain her. Her health began to slowly deteriorate, and it became hard for her to keep going. Eventually, she collapsed outside of Konoha, where she eventually was discovered by Naruto, and taken to the hospital, where she was forced to remain until her health returned to normal, and eventually talked into staying. (NOT putting her Shippuden history as it spoils the stories I write)
