☤ Appearance ☤
⌈Height & Weight⌋
Nymeria is about 5'9" and weighs a completely un-athletic 130 pounds.
⌈Hair color/Length/Quality⌋
A carelessly maintained jet black mane that falls somewhere around the middle of her back.
⌈Distinguishable Facial Features⌋
N/A
⌈Eye color⌋
Very dark brown, practically black.
⌈Birthmarks/Scars/Tattoos/Piercings⌋
Tattoos & Scars|| Nymeria's tattoo and scars are conveniently located at the same place: along the length and inside of her left forearm. A prior accident caused a long, jagged scar to appear from her wrist to almost her elbow, and it was later on in her life that she had a wolf inked over it. Her street name probably has some links back to this tattoo (she didn't come up with it, Direwolf just caught on by itself one day). Her hands and feet have tiny scars from her many rowdy cats as well, if that counts.
Piercings|| Given how her ears are littered with studs at any moment, Nymeria evidently has a few piercings-- she has three on the rim and one on the lobe on both ears.
⌈Physical Description⌋
While Nymeria has a pretty distinct profile (thankfully, she managed to inherit her father's 'tall' gene), this kid most definitely is not particularly intimidating-- she's kind of a soft one, in terms of first impressions. Perhaps it has something to do with her 'slacker' and careless way of dress, or the fact that she has very little muscle to speak of, but either way Nymeria sells herself easy; not difficult to approach at all and, by extension, typically doesn't raise people's guards often. This trait is very much the reason why she's a superstar with any and all animals, besides the fact that she loves them all, and also behind the straightforward, effortless way that she makes friends; in addition to her easygoing attitude when you actually start talking to her.
In terms of clothes and the like, Nymeria has a habit of wearing whatever she sees first, and then coordinating the rest of her outfit accordingly. So it would be as normal to see her in a skirt one day as it would for her to be in sweats/loose shirts the next (both of which there is an example of in the image above). Nowadays, as default she'll go for loose, comfortable things much like what is on the right.
❝There's nothing wrong with nope-ing right out of a shitty situation. It's called a tactical withdrawal.❞
'I'm just as fucked up as they say, I can't fake the daytime (found an entrance to escape into the dark),
Got false lights for the sun, it's an artificial nocturne (it's an outsider's escape from a broken heart).'

☤ Mentality ☤
⌈Habits/Quirks⌋
✦ Animal/Cat Magnet || Nymeria takes care of a few cats at home, but when outside all kinds of animals flock around her. It's almost clockwork, but it has nothing to do with the supernatural. They really just love her, and she them.
✦ Messiness || This kid can be a disaster zone if not told off/managed properly. She's a bit of an airhead and rarely remembers to clean by herself in any context, to the disgust of the average obsessive compulsive friend.
✦ Walking Encyclopedia || For someone who doesn't care much for the educational system, Nymeria sure reads a lot of non-fiction. She knows a lot of weird/random things, and will usually have a book on some kind of Useful Information with her.
✦ Warmth-induced Sleepiness || If the weather's up for a bright and sunny day, you'll probably find Nymeria crashing somewhere. She'll be drowsy and sluggish when awake, and is prone to acting grumpy/uncooperative when forced to work.
⌈Likes⌋
♥ All kinds of animals, notably cats. Especially cats.
♥ Warm days, so she can sleep in peace.
♥ Learning and reading, particularly things that she can use for survival.
♥ Music, playing her guitar/bass or just listening (it has a calming effect on her).
♥ Naturally sweet foods; fruits, vegetables, and smoothies.
♥ Freedom and Free Spirit, the idea of 'Mind over Matter'.
⌈Talents⌋
✔ Survivalist || Nymeria's pretty great when it comes to self-preservation, and knows enough to get by when stranded without help. She's also fairly level-headed, capable of thinking on her feet, and able to talk her way out of things.
✔ Networking || As mentioned before, this kid is pretty easy to get to know; and it carries to meet many people that way. Suffice it to say that she knows a fair number of Hyeons, and has a steady web from which to gather information; with a fairly reputable reputation otherwise.
✔ In the use of Telekinesis || Like most in Free Spirit, Nymeria made her name not from sheer power, but by becoming extremely proficient with her ability. It's a talent.
✔ Fast Learner || It isn't particularly difficult for Nymeria to learn new things, as long as it doesn't involve exercise. She picks things up quickly (gaming, music, etc).
✔ Animal Superstar || As mentioned before, Nymeria has a certain touch with animals-- it's easy for her to care for and befriend them. Yeah, this is a thing.
⌈Hobbies⌋
✔ Cats, Etc. || She likes to play with her cats. What can I say?
✔ Music || She owns a guitar and a bass, sometimes she performs on the streets.
✔ Reading || Without cats or music, Nymeria will probably be buried in a book.
⌈Fears⌋
✘ Unmei's; specifically, killing/fighting a turned gang member that she used to know.
✘ Attachment; becoming close with someone knowing the risk of death.
✘ Death; watching people get killed in her vicinity and realizing her uselessness.
And perhaps a long time ago...
'I could fight the flow and tug of war the undertow,
but I’d never not ever succeed.
So when you’re out to sea, I hope you think of me.'

⌈Personality⌋
|| Easy-going || Perceptive || Empathetic || Calm/Mellow ||
|| Logical || Transparent || Consistent || Self-Sacrificing ||
For an orphaned kid with measures of abandonment and commitment issues, Nymeria is surprisingly compassionate-- typically somewhat selfless and willing to extend herself. There is little that she wouldn't do (granted that she can, and that it is safe for her to do so) for a random stranger or, more often, an abandoned, half-dead cat; which is to say that she cares, and is easily open-mindedly accepting of most people. Perhaps this is why she so effortlessly attracts the public, and those who are broken (although it isn't as though she's not fractured herself) -- Nymeria doesn't really try to understand it. She adopts a fairly laid-back and unambitious attitude towards life, the type to be affected by things rather than active alternative, and is similarly calm and relaxed towards others; kind of the sort that most tend to like, but wouldn't particularly want to be.
Ironically enough, however, you'll find that she's deathly afraid of attachment and all the associated feelings involved; yet remains to jump into all sorts of unnecessary things given the opportunity to do so. She's perceptive and empathetic towards everyone that she meets, aware of boundaries and naturally able to read people, but is definitely not in tune with herself and cannot hide or work under an ulterior motive (Nymeria's not even opaque, she's downright transparent). As much as she is a realist and a logical little shit, she's inherently in denial of her own emotional shortcomings and (some) flaws; especially when she feels as though she has to prove herself (she will not admit that her hesitation can be a liability on the field and fights anyway). At the core Nymeria is, although resourceful, soft. She is an unwitting pacifist that does not appreciate fighting and cannot truly kill, exceedingly unprepared for the hell that is to come; yet is idealistically obligated to help and protect others (the same moral code that allows her to save stray animals).
While Nymeria is more of a diplomat than a soldier, it isn't to say that she won't fight-- she has her pride, for her gang and for herself, but knows perfectly well when to retreat. She's certainly not brave, though not a coward, and keeps her head better than most (suffice it to say that many suspect that her patience is endless), a fairly reliable friend to have in the end. Being the terrible liar that she is, she can be depended on to always tell the harsh reality as it can be seen. As mentioned before, Nymeria is an orphaned child-- she has always been independent and forced to act on her own since her birth. It goes to follow that this kid could function without relying on anyone, a survivalist more than anything; albeit the fact that she can be a bit airheaded and somewhat dense when it comes down to mundane things (keeping a clean, uncluttered apartment, cooking, etc). But while she can be self-sufficient, she's learned that keeping a network of contacts/friends is far more productive and efficient than should she be on her own.
To most people, Nymeria is relatively charismatic and easy to talk to or work with. She tends to thrive in casual environments and possesses a fairly civil kind of humour (sarcastic, but not especially cutting or offensive). Besides the exception of close friends, this kid remains to be an outgoing individual that rarely expresses her own personal weaknesses or problems (outwardly strong and somewhat unshakable); very independent in that respect, but able to seek out and rely on certain people should she need to. There is little, outside of her fears, able to make Nymeria speechless, off-kilter, or terrified-- so when she is any of these things, it's fairly noticeable and definitely a big deal. But otherwise, that's really just about it.

(She'd read about Pompeii, once.
The foster child of Rome, a molten city of ash and rock abandoned by the flow of time. It had been beautiful, they'd said, perfectly preserved in stone and caught in the moment of death. Pompeii is now a popular Italian tourist attraction, a ghost of what was and everything it had tried to be.
She wonders if the twenty thousand souls had ever left, if six feet of pumice had kept them there for over a thousand years. She thinks that the world must be cruel, to disturb that which sleeps, and how all children must want and lose but surely never receive.)
