Naomi's cold persona is immediately evident in her looks. Standing at around 5'6", she's rather tall which adds to her intimidation factor. Dark hair and cruel grey eyes also compliment this look. She has a notable tattoo on her left arm, one of her more striking features. She normally wears a black tube top and black pants, topped with a dark purple trench coat. With the advanced life-support system on her machine, she rarely wears a pilot suit in battle though she does own a plain black one if required.
Naomi's machine isn't exactly a mecha. Rather, it is an advanced fighter craft capable of operating both in space and in the atmosphere. The CFS - 08 Wyvern is designed as a standard, mass-production support unit that can fulfill various roles. The Wyvern is equipped with a powerful radar and sensor system that allows it to perform decently as a reconnaissance unit despite not being originally designated as such. To complement its black coloration, the unit also possesses a stealth system, giving it an advantage in space and in the dead of night making it seem as if the unit's invisible. The cockpit features a life pod that can eject should the main fighter be destroyed in battle.
The Wyvern's weapons are pretty standard. Its main armaments are a pair of 20mm Vulcan guns near the nose of the craft, and four Howitzer cannons on the installations near the wings and thrusters; giving it a total of ten guns. The cannons can rotate independently of each other so the Wyvern is able to provide covering fire in a variety of directions. Like any fighter craft, the Wyvern can be outfitted with up to ten missiles (five on each wing) for additional attack capability. Naomi's unit carries a total of four explosive homing missiles, two smoke missiles, two anti-armor napalm and two radar jammers.
The Wyvern is rather fast, both inside and outside the atmosphere, easily able to achieve speeds up to Mach 4.0. Advanced plasma jet engines are installed which enables it to achieve this kind of speed, provided that it is not carrying any other load or extra weight. Fully loaded, the Wyvern is still relatively fast though no longer as agile.
An additional feature found in the Wyvern is an extending loading platform at the base of the craft. With this, the Wyvern is capable of carrying different loads ranging from cargo, ammunition and even other machines. With the advancements in weaponry and mecha design, most of the vehicles in this series are mostly designated to these support roles. Although if it needs to take on a more attack-oriented role, it can carry kill-mode automatons for personnel suppression.
Naomi is a very versatile mercenary. Well-trained in several disciplines, she is strong enough to hold her own in combat both inside and outside the cockpit. She also displays a strong emotional detachment, allowing her to do tasks that can be rather inhuman and brutal in nature.
Melee - Naomi is rather good at melee, both unarmed and armed, and she is pretty capable of overpowering most opponents who try to fight her without any form of enhancement or advantage.
Marksmanship - Outside of battle, Naomi is also good with the gun and her marksmanship carries to inside the cockpit to the point that she can aim well without much computer assistance using only her eyesight alone.
Connections - Given the nature of the tasks she's capable of doing, Naomi had already built up a sizable network of connections with different people; people who've hired her to do tasks for them. In exchange, she's capable of acquiring information, equipment and recommendations from said people, giving her a form of leverage compared to other mercenaries.
Low knowledge - Naomi herself admits that she isn't very intelligent. All she knows are things that may help her in her jobs but otherwise, she's not that well-versed in other things. She isn't even capable of performing repairs on her machine herself. Not exactly illiterate, her level of knowledge in other matters is probably comparable to an average high-school graduate, with some orientation on chemistry, physics and other sciences which is important for knowing her weapons properties.
Arrogance - With the thinking that she's slightly better than most people with her skills, she has a tendency to look down on others based on the same merits she holds herself. This leads to her having a slightly narrow mind as she rarely factors the other things other people are capable of doing when she evaluates them. With that, there have already been situations that have surprised her or caught her off-guard just for the sole reason that she didn't consider these factors.
On the other hand, the Wyvern's main weakness lies in the fact that it is merely a support fighter craft. While solid during its days, the machine is severely outpaced by the more innovative technologies of actual combat mecha. The Wyvern may possess enhanced technologies but as a jet fighter, there's only so much it can do, all things considered. It is lacking armor-wise and simple compromises to the wings or the engines could easily take it out of a fight, provided they get through Naomi's good piloting skill.
It's also severely outgunned. Disregarding the missiles, the Wyvern's armaments are all solid rounds which are rather inferior as opposed to beam weapons and laser technology. Since it is also based on ammunition, the guns have the tendency of running out in the middle of battle even if the fighter itself is still capable. Also, since it's a jet, the Wyvern lacks any form of proper close-range combat weapons.
It is given that Naomi is rather cold towards others. While she doesn't show any form of disdain or irritation towards anyone and might even be more sociable and approachable than Kalia, you can somehow feel her detachment. It's like she isn't really into anything and any form of interaction with her is meaningless to her if they're not instructions or negotiations.
In battle, Naomi is rather relaxed and laid-back, given her confidence in her own abilities. With her unorthodox machine, she tends to have the element of surprise which she uses to her advantage. She will usually lead an opponent into thinking she's weak using her inferior machine before turning around and crippling them for her allies to finish up if she's unable to destroy them herself.
She bears an opportunistic and secretive air to her, giving off a feeling of mistrust that can make her own allies feel paranoid about her. It's like she can turn traitor at any moment and shoot them in the back. So far, she hasn't done anything of the sort but one can't really relax yet.
Cold and cunning, Naomi is probably one person everybody should keep an eye on as there's really no way to tell what's going on in her mind. One can't really feel too comfortable around her. Not even camaraderie and kindness can keep her tied down for longâĻ
Naomi's history is rather dubious to those who can't bring themselves to trust her. Given the nature of her job and the connections she's made over the years, it is very hard to tell which of the information she's provided is legitimate as they can easily be fabricated by anyone with a considerable influence who's asked her for favors.
According to the official file, she's had experience working as part of an ambassador's PMC (Private Military Company) for six years before joining the military based on a Council's recommendation. While she doesn't possess a rank high enough to have privileges bestowed to her, she had been given a license to do what she wants on the field though she doesn't have any history of defying orders using this privilege.
As most people were still cautious about her, she currently pilots a CFS â 08 Wyvern for added security. She didn't seem to mind though and was even noted to have used the vessel to great effect. Presently, she is assigned to the battleship Viper and given the task of guarding the vessel as they head to battle with the Kiritine nation.
