Description
"We'll see creation come undone
These bones that bound us will be gone
We'll stir our spirits 'til we're one
Then soft as shadows we'll become"

Mannerisms: Nori tends to be easily distracted as she is very curious about the world around her. Anything that moves will catch her eye although she is very good at multitasking and can listen when someone is talking to her while simultaneously staring off in distance at something else. While exploring something or somewhere new, she can often be heard humming happily to herself—though this has faded quite a bit as she's grown, but she still hums softly from time to time. Since being on her own, she glances over her shoulder a lot and is hyper-vigilant of her surroundings.

P E R S O N A L I T YTraits:
Problem-solver - having a positive attitude to see problems as a challenge or a new learning experience.
- Having clearly inherited her mother's wit, Nori is constantly facing her problems head on and always figuring out a way to overcome her struggles. She loves puzzles and anything mentally stimulating, but this can also mean she becomes bored easily and is constantly seeking new challenges.
Amiable - having or displaying a friendly and pleasant manner.
- Nori is very polite and well mannered. She has an agreeable nature and rarely makes much of a fuss. Making friends comes naturally to her, and while she is not a pushover by any means she tends to avoid conflict whenever necessary.
Optimistic - hopeful and confident about the future.
- Her positive attitude and ability to face her problems head on means she is generally very optimistic. There is an air of confidence to her and when told she cannot do something, it only makes her try harder to succeed.
Resilient - able to withstand or recover quickly from difficult conditions.
- There isn't much that can keep this girl down. She can easily overcome most struggles in life and is quite tough physically as well. Unless something really gets to her and she becomes stuck in a cycle of overthinking, she is able to bounce back quickly from life's difficulties.
Inquisitive/Observant - curious or inquiring; quick to notice things.
- If there is something to learn, explore, or observe, Nori is all over it. She is naturally very curious and wants to learn about all there is to know about the world. She tends to ask a lot of questions but doesn't always know when to quit (making her a bit nosy) and there is very little one can keep hidden from her.
Independent - capable of thinking or acting for oneself.
- While she is usually not without her brother's company, she relies very little on adults to take care of or supervise her. She's a natural born leader and has no reservations about venturing off to explore new places, but can be a bit bossy when it comes to bringing her brother along.
Self-critical - critical of oneself, one's abilities, or one's actions in a self-aware or unduly disapproving manner.
- Nori is overly critical when it comes to her mistakes. She tends to dwell on every little detail of something she's done wrong, often leading her to bouts of depression. If she is unable to achieve a goal of hers, she will often push herself beyond her limits feeling that she needs to punish herself for her failures, though she usually bounces back quickly.
Over-thinker - someone who puts too much time into thinking or analyzing in a way that is more harmful than helpful
- This goes hand-in-hand with being self-critical. Nori tends to overthink all of her mistakes in a harmful way, and can become fixated on her failures or things she does not understand. She often makes up situations in her mind about how something will play out before it even happens.
Bossy - fond of giving people orders; domineering.
- Nori can be very bossy, especially to her younger brother, Nagihito. With Nagi being partially blind and more on the shy side, Nori feels she must protect and lead him. This, however, means that Nagi tends to be more submissive to his sister, something Nori often takes advantage of. Though Nagi has now passed, she still retains some bossy tendencies and refuses to listen to anyone especially now that she is on her own. While she may be a loner, this does not stop her from trying to take the leadership role with anyone she meets.
In Depth: Overall, Nori is a happy, confident young wolf who faces the world and all it has to throw at her head on, but can be her own worst enemy. While she does not let others bring her down, her own mind can be her downfall if she allows herself to overthink her mistakes. Despite her mother's somewhat cold and rigid parenting style, she still loves her family very much and especially feels responsible for partially blind brother, Nagihito. With Nori being far bolder than her shy younger brother, she is often the one who is able to push him out of his comfort zone. But there is a bit of bossy streak to her as well; she likes things a certain way and isn't above bossing Nagi around as he is easily manipulated. Despite this, they have an incredibly strong bond and are almost always together.
Since the death of her brother, the trauma she has endured, and having had to grow up rather quickly, Nori has become much more subdued since the days of her youth but is very much still the same wolf. Though she may not be as peppy as she once was, she still retains a very positive outlook on life and is full of curiosity and the need for adventure. She has grown a bit more cautious since her youth (especially after becoming a loner) and is a bit more anxious in uncertain situations, however other than that she is very much still a resilient force who refuses to quit as she navigates her new life and learns the ins and outs of survival on her own.
H I S T O R Y Pre-Group History: Nori was born to unfortunate circumstances. Her mother, Kaya , never dreamed of nor thought it was even possible to conceive a litter after the abuse she faced years prior. But during a long trek across the Sanctuary after fleeing from her own mother , Kaya found herself near the notorious Sanguis territory, where she came face-to-face the monstrous leader himself, Baron Maul . As the weeks passed, the unprecedented changes to her body as well as a creeping feeling in gut told her: no matter how much she didn't want to be, the lone female was pregnant. With no where to go and the fear that her mother was tracking her down, Kaya continued westward with no destination, afraid to stay in one place for too long and barely keeping herself and her developing pups fed. The lone female journeyed as far as her paws would take her, mind simply too broken to think rationally, until she reached a vast body of water the likes of which she had never seen before. Heavily pregnant by this point, she was discovered by the leader of the secretive Harami Clan, Saphira, who decided to show the mother-to-be mercy and take her in. Despite the safety the safety of the Clan, Kaya was terrified to give birth, swearing she couldn't do it. But with the help of Saphira and the Shaman, Madame Delphine, she successfully delivered a healthy girl and boy: Noroi and Nagihito, respectively.
