## Personality

At first glance, Naomi seems to have a personality typical of any scientist. She sees the world in an analytical sense, and attempts to give off a more professional and formal demeanor. Despite this, she also becomes irritated quite easily, as has been shown in her past interactions with Team Prism, and as such this demeanor can quickly fall.

## History

### Early Life

Naomi Rosen was born on January 10th, 1999, in Greenfield, Johto to her mother Eliane Araceli and her unknown father. They only lived in Greenfield for a short while before she and her mother moved to Alola, where Eliane met Lupine. They lived in Alola for a few years, during which Eliane and Lupine became married and Naomi took on his surname due to her birth father's absence. They continued to live in Alola until eventually moving to Unova, where Eliane and Lupine both began working at Area 51.

### Life at Area 51

#### Beginning

Shortly after beginning their work at Area 51, Eliane met an untimely death, and Lupine was left as the sole caretaker of Naomi. She began to work under him, and eventually became a full-time member of Area 51. She specialized in studying Ultra Beasts, both in better understanding those that have been previously discovered as well as exploring the possibility of discovering new species. Her work proved to be successful, as after an interdimensional wormhole opened over Sinnoh in 2018, Naomi's equipment began to pick up on the existence of a unknown signal coming from the Orre region. She would closely track this signal over the next few months, and early that December, she was able to find and capture a previously-undiscovered Ultra Beast, which she codenamed UB-09 Razor. She began to study this creature, hoping to learn about the world it came from, until an unprecedented break-in by Team Prism took place at Area 51, and Razor was captured by Team Prism's Admin Neffy.

#### Ketamis and the Glitches

The break-in at Area 51 left a major roadblock in Naomi's work, and she has since worked extensively to undo the damage cause by it. Without UB-09 in her presence, she became restricted in what she could do in her work, which would only become further exhausted by future interference due to Team Prism and its associates. With the release of the Glitch Unown caused by Marvin Ketamis, Naomi eventually found much of her equipment become severely corrupted to the point of near ruin, and her efforts to recover it have not been successful. This has set back her work to such an extent that she has yet to make any new major breakthroughs since capturing UB-09 Razor. A mild altercation between her and Ketamis over the subject resulted in them coming to an agreement to have her raise a Swablu that had been affected by the Glitches, resulting in it taking on a fully monochromatic appearance.

#### Current Life

Naomi currently continues to work at Area 51, advancing her research with Ultra Beasts in an attempt to recover from the setbacks caused by the break-in. She has also begun to pursue Team Prism, connecting primarily with Admin Neffy in particular regarding UB-09 Razor. In July of 2022, she received word from the Aether Foundation, who wished to contact her about her capture of UB-09. She met in-person with Aether employee Chel on July 31st, who came to visit Area 51 as a representative of her organization.

## Relationships

### Familial

#### Eliane Araceli

Eliane Araceli is Naomi's mother, and she was extremely caring towards Naomi for as long as they were together. They only really had each other before moving to Alola, and due to this, they formed a close bond. When Naomi came out as a trans woman, Eliane was nothing but accepting, and she supported her throughout it all. After Eliane's death, Naomi has grown noticeably more cold, dedicating her life solely to her work. She misses her mother dearly, and wishes to find out the truth behind the circumstances of her death, though all attempts to accomplish this have been unsuccessful.

#### Lupine Rosen

Lupine Rosen is Naomi's stepfather, and his relationship with her is completely different than how she was with her mother. Lupine is much more apathetic towards Naomi, instead focusing his time and energy solely for his work and giving her none of the affection she received from her mother. Unlike Eliane, Lupine does not respect Naomi, seeming to only care about her ability to assist in his work. Naomi tries to justify how Lupine acts towards her, but in reality she despises interacting with him, and only stays at Area 51 due to her dedication to her work and not having anywhere else to go.

### Romantic

Naomi has yet to ever be in a romantic relationship, as she has never truly spent long periods of time outside of the care of her parents. Most of her life has been spent working at Area 51, which she rarely leaves.

### Platonic

#### Nephele Gelarden

Neffy is an admin at Team Prism, and the person who captured UB Razor and took it from Area 51. Naomi has since watched him closely, finding out any information she can about him in hopes that it can be used to her advantage in order to get back what he stole from her. Naomi has occasionally interacted with Admin Neffy through Team Prism's online chats, though none of their interactions have quite been respectful.

## Pokémon

### Monochrome Swablu

After an implied in-person interaction between Naomi and Ketamis, she was gifted this Swablu to take under her care. Though she has yet to provide updates since their initial conversation, Naomi claimed to ensure that it would be treated well, while also hoping that having the ability to raise this Swablu could give her more insight into the Glitch phenomenon. It is unclear is she has been successful in this endeavor. This is the only known Pokémon specifically in her possession since UB-09 Razor's capture.

Naomi has also interacted with a few Ultra Beasts in the past as parts of her work, but she has never claimed any of them as her own. She often works with various other Pokémon to aid in her activities as well, including a Noivern that has often been spotted near her area of work, though it is uncertain if Naomi is their true trainer or not.

## Trivia

* Naomi's surname refers to the rose flower, tying into the botanical theme of many names in her family, with Eliane's name referring to the *Impatiens elianae* species of flowering plant and Lupine's name referring to the *Lupinus* genus of flowering plants.
* Naomi appeared to be affected by both the 2020 and 2021 Halloween events in the Team Prism world: the 2020 event resulted in many people temporarily transforming into Pokémon and vice versa, while the 2021 event transformed them into anthropomorphic half-Pokémon. It is unknown in what ways she had been affected.
