Naomi Senkin | Zero Magi

naomi SENKin,

this is gospel for the fallen ones

The vast majority of Magi hold themselves in high esteem; even if such beliefs are quite inaccurate. There are but a few Magus whom, on the other hand, are not as confident of themselves and thus covet the same confidence and self-assurance than their more "self-assured" opposites. But there exists a rather rare breed, such as our precarious red-haired youth, whom are neither conceited nor lacking in confidence. Unlike most people, the being known as Naomi does not think of herself as just as good than, nor any better, than someone else. The girl possesses quite a humble impression of herself, both in relation to her skills and overall personality. In fact, she has a certain sense of modesty which may be considered as special; since she not only avoids saying anything positive about herself, but takes it a step further by focusing more upon the negative qualities and traits - even if such things do not exist. One could say that the girl does not overestimate herself, but rather underestimates herself; as she would always downplay her own various achievements and talents. Either she would act as if they were of no extraordinary value, or otherwise would point out some sort of flaw. One would quite literally never hear the delinquent boast or brag about anything, and should she ever, it would have been an extremely rare and special exception. She seeks no actual praise or acknowledgement of her worth; the sort of person whom does not desire any sense of public recognition, rather wishing to stay out of the spotlight.

One may expect someone who bags upon herself to have an inferiority complex or otherwise a sense of low self-esteem, but such is not the case with Naomi. The fledgling is one-hundred-percent confident about her strength, and has no wish of changing whom she is. In other words, she fully believes everything that she says about herself. When she trains, it is not to better herself enough to become a competent fighter, nor to rid herself of an observed weakness; she simply trains to keep her skills sharp. She remains convinced that she is neither an exceptionally talented Magi nor a failure; in her eyes, she is a mediocre Magus, someone whom may easily be overshadowed by more spectacular people. She would even go so far as to sometimes attribute accomplishments to mere chance rather than any talent on her part, even when such was clearly not the case. In her viewpoint, the sole noteworthy factor about herself is the fact that she is capable of recovery magic, and as she further adds, a rather mediocre healer. Whether or not true, few may say, primarily in reason of most people doubting whether the girl is competent or not, especially since she keeps remarking that she is not. The habit of self-deprecation can have some unintentional benefits, though. To elaborate: everyone has a tendency to exaggerate some aspect about himself or herself, and the young lady is no different. Humorously enough, in Naomi's case, her claims are not exaggerated because she might be weaker than she says she is - she might be stronger than she says she is. Some people, when exposed to her self-deprecation, might be led to believe that she could be as weak as she claims; even the most skeptical of people might be the tiniest bit convinced of this.

Having lived the life of an outcast, Naomi is hardly the most optimistic of people. To put it bluntly, the woman is cynical and pessimistic, seeing the world through black-tinted lens. Having lived a rough life fraught with difficulties in regard to her status as a Magi, she knows that the world is not all gumdrops and lollipops, particularly since she has not experienced much happiness throughout her life. Along with hefty cynicism, she also possesses a poor impression of Mankind, harboring near-misanthropic feelings towards her fellow humans. This is connected with her general mistrust of all people, no matter what kind of mindset he or she has. Every human holds a twinge of darkness within them, thus, one must be wary around all of them. Coupled with her dark outlook on life and her distrusting nature, one might be hard-pressed to gain the trust of this peculiar Magus. Both past and present, the girl gives very few people the courtesy of trust and friendship. This anti-social behavior is because she believes that placing one’s trust in too many people can be more detrimental than beneficial to any one person; seeing this as a logical belief, and thus adheres to it. Something else she finds logical is control over her emotions and desires. As she determined, one’s emotions have the power to manipulate and control a person’s mind and actions. Many emotions cloud a person’s reasoning, and a person without reason is no better than a savage.

Therefore, it is a necessity, particularly for a Magus, to have complete control over their emotions and maintain a collected mindset. As such, she makes an effort to not give into her emotions or desires, or at least not frequently, thus allowing her the advantage of a cool head. She is quite remarkably calm and composed, rarely showing any form of emotion. In fact, she is seen more-so with an amused demeanor than anything else, often addressing others with sarcasm or mockful manner of speech. It can go without saying that her dry, dark sense of humor makes her a rather difficult person to get along with sometimes. As of yet, the nineteen year old has not displayed any kind of romantic affection to anyone, and seems unlikely to do so at all; she has no interest in sexual activities or eros, appearing to be psychologically asexual if anything, and is more or less contemptuous towards such things.

Naomi is a pragmatic individual - approaching everything with a logical and sensible outlook. If an act has no beneficial result or significant meaning to it, she will often refrain from performing it. As a pragmatic individual, she will do anything she can to accomplish a task, or ensure her continued existence. Both in and outside of battle, she would resort to any tactic, no matter how underhanded or dishonorable, to complete an objective. This opportunist has no qualms about manipulating or deceiving others for personal gain, even willing to resort to extreme sadistic acts to achieve them. Truthfully, she always hides behind a mask - a mask of lies and deception. When coupling such “assholeness” with her relatively strong sense of self-preservation, it goes without saying that Naomi will go to great lengths to advance her own interests. She is not above back-stabbing someone should it be beneficial to her, or even fleeing a battle against an opponent that is clearly more powerful than she - even if it would result abandoning others. With all that said, it should still be remembered that she is a pragmatic individual. Whatever she does, she will only do if there is actually something to be gained from it. For example, she would not needlessly inflict pain on a defeated enemy, or even go as far as to land a lethal blow, if the opposite would be more sensible. If there is more to be gained by abandoning an objective rather than completing it, or vice versa, then she will go with the more beneficial route. This is why she becomes annoyed when falling prey to emotions; as her logical thinking can be hampered, and may result in her performing unnecessary and detrimental acts. Put simply, while she may be a despicable character because of her practical nature, she is not necessarily malicious. She could kick the dog if she wanted, but if there is no benefit in it, then why bother?

"Beauty is in the eye of the beholder", whilst the saying is certainly true, many would agree that Naomi possesses two especially captivating characteristics regarding her physical appearance: both her eyes and hair. When inquiries are made regarding the color of her eyes - there would be conflicting reports of blue and green; both are incorrect. The true color of the woman's ocular glasses is a gainsborough gray - often seen as either a pale blue or green depending on the lighting or her set of clothing. Though all three variations have a tendency of attracting the attention of others as a result of their clarity - seemingly baring her very soul to the world. Their somewhat rounded shape bears evidence of metamorphosing into a rather sharper shape with the passage of time - a fact that swiftly urges onward with the stress induced by her status as a Magus. While such clear eyes may ordinarily be counted as a blessing - such is not the case with the deranged youth. A set of eyes exhibiting such clarity are just as easily described as honest - easily exhibiting emotions; rarely capable of shielding sentiments or tell a convincing orthodox lie. Shooting flames of malice whenever angered, crystalline sparkles when joyous, and dull blank stares whilst saddened - to give a few examples. Hence, while she may be quite difficult to understand, any whom pay attention to her eyes would gather some insight - and an indication as to when they should start running. Such mirrors of the soul lay surrounded by deep curled lashes which further promote attention given to them. Situated a short distance, one would find dark finely-arched brows; placed high upon her forehead, especially whenever she finds herself overexcited. A striking contrast is made between the color of her hair and that of her eyes - instilling an exotic appearance: her usual wild and thick mane of hair possesses an unearthly red color.

The overwhelming shade of red often prompts others to fantasize wild fire running rampant atop her head - though even that description fails to truly capture what the color truly represents. Rays of sunlight play along with wild and untamed strands whom have never once succumbed to the teeth of a comb - further giving the youth an intense appearance. As a result of her apathetic nature, her hair is often kept relatively short in order to limit the need for maintenance; albeit it remains long enough still to reach her shoulders. The indomitable state often obscures her vision in form of strands dropping before her eyes - irritating the youth at the futility of brushing her bangs aside. Upon reaching the absolute limit of her patience, Naomi will cut silky strands in a semi-random manner with ease; unperturbed to the concept of beautifying herself - she never was one to bother with such hassle. Both the stunning color and unruly hairstyle is pleasantly suitable to Naomi - a fair representation of  her indomitable personality. The origin of her iconic hair lied within a desire to protest against society's view of a girl - refusing to be someone concerned with her appearance, head filled with the idea of romance, to act in a manner "befitting of a woman". Hence bringing about her nature as a tomboy, which would follow her for the remainder of her life. Whilst she does indeed possess certain attractive qualities in form of natural beauty - she is not without faults of her own. An often unnoticed example are her eyebrows - the left is a shade lighter than that of the right. A nose that is often referred as slightly too big, or slightly too small - in short, a variety of such things that are only truly noticed upon closer inspection. These imperfections are often hidden by her stronger qualities - such as the way her messy strands of hair frame her delicate face as to bring about her well-defined jawline and high cheekbones; hence her chin appears small but well-defined, thus thrusts out in a rather adorable manner whenever she feels offended by something, or feels the need to state a point. Flattering lips of a light-rose color described as full and soft - with pearly whites finely straightened.     

As an individual whom prefers the outdoors versus staying indoors - her skin had gained a golden tawny complexion over the years; remaining free of any marring blemishes upon its smooth surface. The knowledge that Naomi refrains from using cosmetics could prove to be an annoyance to other females - instead, she relies heavily upon a healthy diet and exercise leading her to retain a fresh and clean appearance. While she may be described as an attractive person by most - despite her poor social skills and deranged demeanor. She carries herself more-so in a 'manly' manner rather than using feminine charms - often having her walking forward referred as 'stomping onward', devouring any meal as if she were starving. As a result of her tomboy-ish upbringing, her mannerisms and speech lack any flirtatious quality; hence in this regard, she is seen as rather innocent between the differences of a man and a woman. Those whom knew of her during her earlier years, would be surprised to find that she had quite the growth spurt - typically towering over those within her age-group; to which she enjoys immensely. But alas, it appears that upon reaching the age of fourteen, she had found herself stuck in front of the 5'11" (180 cm) wall. While she may not be considered short, she would have preferred gaining a few inches more to her height - seeing as she disdains being looked down upon in a literal sense. It appeared that her growth spurt had also included her having taken out most of her physical development - having achieved quite an impressive hourglass figure at the tender age of fifteen; much to her dismay. At present time, she bears a slim waist - with a flat stomach with a nice hint of abs situated above. Her legs are both long and slender - though possess strength under the guise of flat sinewy muscles; a testament to her training as a martial artist. Likewise, her arms are also long and slender - yet retain a certain sense of grace. She possesses rounded firm buttocks, and as previously mentioned, a generously-sized bosom.             

{ As one of the Magi, Naomi retains distinct characteristics which separates herself from the human race - retaining characteristics akin to that of a feline. Though she meticulously takes care in hiding these characteristics in reason of the racial discrimination imposed upon the Magi. Amongst those whom are troublesome to conceal, a slim and elegant tail emerges from the tailbone - bearing a much more refined quality as opposed to the hair situated atop her head. The tail in itself grants her better control over the balance of her body provided it is not hidden away within a pair of jeans - its sensitivity saps her strength whenever grabbed. Another characteristics in which she may not hide as well as the others is her tongue; its texture reminiscent to that of sandpaper. The few characteristics that she does manage to hide include her vampire-esque fangs - grating them as to flatten them on a regular basis; initially an extremely painful process, though she had eventually gotten used to it. A set of whiskers would ordinarily appear upon her delicate face - though she shaves them off. As many of her animal-equivalents, she too possesses a sharp set of claws, though she clips them off despite their potential utility. }


Fashioned with a pair of small ears which lay hidden beneath the thick mass of hair - she seldom bothers wearing earrings, or any form of jewelry for that matter, despite having the required piercings in each of her earlobes. As with any person, her line of clothing possesses quite a range in terms of style - often influenced by the weather or situation. Though she does hold a personal preference over sturdy and comfortable clothing rather than stylish or elegant as per most people. For example - she vastly prefers wearing a pair of jeans rather than a skirt; though appears to have no qualms with shorts in reason of their ease of movement. Tank-tops are a common choice, though it is not uncommon for her to don light shirts. In terms of color coordination, she prefers light colors though has an accepting stance with black; commonly attributed to her boots. Upon those relaxing or warm days of summer - she would choose to walk with her feet bare, or even a pair of sandals. In short, she is an individual whom seeks comfort and appreciates a sense of freedom over anything else. In addition to, she owns a black leather jacket which she rather likes - albeit typically only wears during cold days.

Parents
Mother: Akira Sakamoto [Magi] (Alive - currently living in a small apartment with Naomi)
Father: Antonovich Senkin [Human] (Deceased - executed as a Magi sympathizer)


The origins of our precarious youth lie within the unification between that of a Magi and a Human - a forbidden romance. As the two struggled with the difficulties associated of the stigma against Magi, their love had surmounted the road fraught with danger - managing to escape the grips of the authority and live their lives incognito. At an eventual point - Naomi had been born; as a Magus. As a result of their desire to protect the product of their love for one another, they became quite overprotective during the upbringing of their daughter. Lessons were berated unto the child so that she may understand the danger of being found as a Magi - though a mere child had difficulties grasping the concept of racial discrimination and the level of which she would be punished if discovered. Under the guise of a human, she would frequent amongst other humans and thus come to understand how little different she and humans were; eventually her naivety had mistakenly revealed herself to be a Magi. As she had became reported - she would be handled roughly as to force her to one of the 'relocation camps'; as soon as her parents realized, they pursued her captors in an effort of rescuing Naomi - though ultimately failed. Her father whom was labelled as a sympathizer was executed as a result of his 'betrayal' to the human race. Hence both Naomi and her mother had spent seven long years within a camp. Magi, as persecuted as they were, were treated poorly which left quite an impressionable stance within Naomi against humans. Having been betrayed by those whom she once considered friends, exposed to immense hatred for what she was, and her respective difficulties with those of her own race... she had been broken somewhere along the road; bringing about her nihilistic views which further sunk her into the depravity of loneliness.

Were it not for the fortunate circumstance of her camp being one of the many whom broke out of their chains eight years ago - she would have one of many whom died during the genocide of Magi at a tender age of eleven. With a renewed demeanor, she and her mother successfully evaded being yet again discovered. The story ends there, leading all to wonder what future awaits Naomi.
