Description

Naka Toft

Naka is an old old character of mine, close to ten years now. One problem is that she simply works better as a side character, and is overpowered to the point that I'm not sure what to do with her. I have trouble compromising one her power because it feels like I'm making her vulnerable in comparison, and that's not the kind of character she is.

Naka Toft is the daughter of a dragon (Kurohisui Tetsu) and a human (Siegfried Toft). She has a laid-back personality, and tends to be quiet (like many of these characters...). She can change forms between human and dragon at will, as well as pausing halfway through in a demi-form, which is her preference. She is less concerned with the minutiae of daily life, probably due to her dragon heritage, possibly due to her father's personality.

When Naka commits to something, she doesn't let anything get in her way. While she doesn't actively seek out ways to help people, she won't ignore injustice or cruelty that's happening in front of her. She is skilled at protecting people, and has a rather maternal personality when need be.

Naka was designed as very powerful - while her human form is weaker, it is by no means weak, and as a dragon few people besides other dragons can challenge her. Unfortunately, this makes her kind of boring, hence the lack of a main storyline, and an easy answer to many questions, hence the lack of a side storyline. I suppose I'll have to give in and nerf her someday, but I'll hold off for the time being.

Naka can breath fire in any form, fly in demi and draconic form, and speak in all three. She has the ability to give people she cares for a magic whistle to blow in times of trouble (imagine how surprised I was reading One Piece), including when they're falling off buildings (might need to tweak that with some kind of teleportation magic). Her human form is the least durable, but can still survive things like falls off of ten-story buildings.

Naka is one of three remembered characters from my first days of serious art (middle school, and yes, I was a huge weaboo >>), along with two catgirls of varying cattiness. I know it sounds cliche, but they are still fond to my heart. Maybe someday I'll figure out what to do with them all...
