Personality:
Nazomi has a strong personality; quick to respond in times of crises;
level headed; can easily blend in with others. Her biggest weakness tends to be her size; and the fact that she's tender hearted. She also cries easily in private after a
bad work day. She is also late for work on occasions. She likes quiet times away from everyone or with friends; quiet music;
plants and flowers (has a green thumb); cats. And strongly dislikes men; loud mouths and braggerts; smelly people who could do
something about it (better known as ol' biddies) and dogs.
History:
Nazomi's name means hope and treasure. Her nickname, Taka, means
honorable. Nazomi earned her nickname in her second year of school
when her teacher, under extreme pressure by the school district, was
giving a mandated test and was giving the answers to the class. Nazomi
refused to do this and did the exam on her own, telling her parents
what had happened that particular day. After her father told the
superintendent what Nazomi had told him, the class's exams were graded
that night and then the class, under the supervision of the school
prinicpal, retook the exams. Nazomi had been excused from retaking the
exam because she refused to follow the others and her scores reflected
her true knowledge.
The family name, Nyoko, means treasure. After the Axis defeat in World
War II, the family became invaluable in the rebuilding of Japan. The
entire family of 70 people left the family home in Tokyo and worked
with the Hiroshima refugees doing things from holding the hands of the
dying to rebuilding homes and lives to designing factories so that the
country could become self-sufficient again. The emperor renamed the
family himself based on the family's work. He considered htem to be a
true treasure to the Japanese people.
Nazomi was the third child of Sasuke and Ryoko Nyoko. All of the
children were adored by expected to do the chores and their homework.
Family was emphasized, and her grandparents lived next door to her
family. The family always had a cat to teach the kids responsibility,
including budgeting for food and vet bills, money management when
buying cat food, cleaning out the litterbox and teaching them to take
care of the cat's needs.
Nazomi had a normal childhood. She fought with her siblings. She hated
her parents from time to time when she didn't get her own way. She got
into trouble at school. She kicked the cats a couple of times. She
broke her dominate arm once in a fist fight against a boy who was
bigger and older than she was.
When she was 14, her cousins came to live with the Nyoko clan. Her
aunt could not deal with the baby who was found to be mentally
retarded. Her parents agreed to adopt him only on the condition that
his older sister was adopted as well. Everyone felt that just because
Naruto was disabled, he was not any different from the rest of
the kids. He was expected to do things to the best of his abilities.
At 17, Nazomi graduated from the Tokyo International School. The
school was created for children who were not native Japanese with 50
Japanese students who had been invited. Nazomi started the school when
she was in the third grade. There, she had been exposed to lots of
cultures and races, complete with holidays, religious sevices and
ideas, and customs.
At 16, she went out on her first date with a guy who happened to be an
American. It seemed to go ok, but it ended rather badly when he
propositioned her. She gave her answer with her fist. When she told
her friend about it and her feelings about guys in general the next
day, the friend pointed out that maybe she would be happier with woemn
while making the guys eat her dust. She never looked back after that
moment.
Immediately after graduation, she joined the Academy. Upon her arrival
at the academy, she had no idea where she wanted to serve. She tried
the diplomatic corps but left after the instructor had to remind her
for the fifth time during one exercise that her fists were not always
the solution to problems. From there, she tried intel but left after
she decided that she did not like secrets or having to keep them. She
did not have the mathematical abilities for engineering. She did not
have the patience for science and got sick at the sight of blood for
medical. She almost didn't try security because of her size. In some
things, her size was an advantage but in others, it was a huge
problem. People often underestimate her abilities but she often
changed their minds rather quickly.
She floated from ship to ship, never fitting in. On ship, she was
told, "We don't want you or your kind on this ship." For once, she
kept her cool and left the CO deal with the remarks. The security NCO
was transferred somewhere else, but the damage had been done. Nazomi
asked for a transfer two weeks later to a station or a colony. Her
self-confidence had hit rock bottom. Her self-esteem was at an all
time low when the transfer to SB185 came through.
The first thing she did when she got the paperwork was to look over
the roster. She felt, upon seeing the CO's family, that here was a
place she wanted finally be accepted. FINALLY!
