Naomi Shiame

**Naomi Shiame** (糸雨治珠, *Shiame Naomi*) is a missing-nin of Shinjugakure's Shiame clan and a former pupil of the current Hashira. Obsessed with collecting priceless, lustrous artifacts, Naomi is on a personal quest to locate an ancient treasure that may not even exist so that she may collect it and attain glory.

## Background

Before her defection, Naomi was a pupil of the Hashira himself. Spending a lot of time within his household along with his other pupils, she developed an eye for the expensive artifacts and heirlooms that decorated the compound. The Shiame were certainly rich, but they definitely did not have what her master had as a newer clan more interested in modern pursuits. She went and read about the other house’s possessions and in some cases was able to go and see them for herself. There was a pang of jealousy every time she saw some long row of gorgeous heirlooms just sitting there in a hallway.

She became very obsessed with priceless objects. Jewelry stores could easily steal her attention; a rich woman in fancy clothes easily nabbed her eye. As a child, she couldn’t have these things, which further fueled her envy. Eventually, she developed an interest in archeology; specifically in the expensive things. As a genin, she had a tendency to swipe things from wealthy clients which got her in big trouble a few times. One day, she read about some unbelievably old bracelet owned by an ancestor of her master so far back that he lived on the Yang continent. She thought of it as a grand goal and dreamed of finding it. Driven by greed and envy, she defected from Shinju and went to the mainland to go look for her one crowning piece of glory.

## Personality

Naomi possesses an eager and outgoing demeanor. She is an extroverted person and is easily excited, but also possesses a strong temper. She has crude manners and language but means nothing bad by it and is overall a friendly person. She possesses a strong love of competition whether it is friendly or not; subconsciously this is driven by a sense of envy. Naomi is easily made jealous, for she has a strongly materialistic outlook on life and is somewhat greedy. She has a strong obsession with expensive, shiny things and is a bit of a compulsive kleptomaniac. Often working in the heat of the moment, she is somewhat prone to making impulsive decisions that will have long reaching and heavy consequences.

## Appearance

Naomi is a woman of average height with pale skin and unique magenta eyes. She has fairly short, wavy white hair which is tied into two side ponytails. While still a bit skinny, Naomi possesses an hourglass figure with fair curves. She boasts a prominent and perky rear. She possesses an under-average bust size which, to the surprise of some, is not a sensitive point of hers.

Possessing the Shinjugakure style, Naomi dresses in fine, expensive clothing. Her outfit is based around a crop-topped single-breast hooded jacket colored in a dark purple. The jacket also possesses secondary red colorings as well as mesh cut-outs at the bicep. Under this jacket, she wears a plain red shirt. Naomi also wears high-waisted, black short-shorts with a white waistband sporting a Shinjugakure plate. Around her hips is a fine black belt which holds the two black leather sheathes to her machetes. She wears thigh-high shinobi gogo boots that match her jacket with a similar purple color and red lines running up the sides and around the sole.

## Abilities

Naomi is officially Chunin-ranked as she left her village not too long after becoming a Chunin. However, she is worthy of being considered a Jonin. Notable for her prowess with her dual machetes, she is a fearsome bukijutsu user and sports skillful taijutsu. Her strength and speed are considered to be above par for her age. She is also a possessor of her clan's Kekkai Genkai, Firework Release, which allows her to combine her machetes with precise and deadly explosive attacks. Furthermore, she is capable of using Fire and Lightning Releases.
