Naveta Lejori AKA Curie
24 | Female | Geologist
Naveta has always been bad at hiding her true feelings or disguising who she really is. As a result, she tends to look really shady even if she's trying not to. Some of her other habits really don't help that either. When she gets really focused on something, she tends to tune out all else and lose track of time. This also means that she forgets to do things like eat or bathe, and has long since stopped sleeping with the help of pokemon abilities. As a result, she tends to be kind of smelly, her hair is normally a knotted mess and she has very dark bags under her eyes. A lot of this isn't done intentionally. Even though it's been a week, she might think it's only been a few hours, and thus thinks people are simply over exaggerating certain things.
She joined Team Origin for two reasons: first Origin promised to protect her from some people she pissed off on a past job, and two, they said that they'd fund the things she wanted to research. Her primary field is geography, and she likes to focus on how the world was formed, hopefully without any magical pokemon bullshit. In the end, she just has an interest in knowing where the world came from, and where each individual continent and island came from. While she's glad Origin has an interest in this, she's pretty sure that wasn't their primary motivation for recruiting her. Naveta's also very good with computers, and has spent nearly a decade working as an informant. Because she's not very good at lying, her methods don't involve working with people directly. Instead, she scours cyberspace for any sign of their existence, including bank accounts, money transactions, any property they might own or anything that leaves any kind of a trace. If that fails, or she simply doesn't have enough information to get started, she's also very good at sneaking around, and will often follow people for awhile or steal security camera footage and the like to learn something.
Friends
While Naveta will say that she hates people, it's more accurate to say that she's distrustful of them. She has difficulty understanding them, and while not all of her dealings with them have been negative, her personality leads her to remember the bad more than the good. It doesn't help that a lot of the bad stuff has been really bad, and that she has trouble telling when people are lying to her. As a result, she just tends to assume everyone is lying all the time until she gets some evidence that proves otherwise, and even then she tends to keep her guard up just in case.
All her friendships are painted with that feeling. It's hard to form an emotional bond with someone that just refuses to let it happen, so she doesn't make many friends. Naveta, on some level, is outright afraid of actually letting people get too close because not only would they end up becoming targets or weak points, but they'd know who she is and could be used to track her down or learn more than she wants people to know. Before this even has a chance to happen, she just convinced herself that all people are universally terrible anyway, so it's not even worth getting close to them. She treats people as though that were true, constantly insulting them with her somewhat dry and mean sense of humor so that they would have no interest in her.
It'd be difficult to make friends with Naveta, and trying to do so can become legitimately dangerous if she starts to feel threatened. That said, because she already has such a low opinion of people it's unlikely to get much worse than it already is, so she tends to be relatively accepting of all people. If someone's kind of cool she doesn't care where they came from or what they do, just that they're nice to be around and they won't get her hurt. Her overall laid back personality makes her easy to deal with if you can get past some of the rougher parts of her personality.
Enemies
Do you exist? Congrats, Naveta already hates you! As described above, she has a great deal of difficulty trusting people and intentionally tries to push them away. She's rude, speaks her mind, often in some of the rudest ways she can think of, and is extremely self-centered. Even without knowing she's in Origin, she can be pretty hard to like.
Add in Origin though, and there's another level of problems. She's not really concerned with the law. At all. She's been on the wrong side of it for about a decade now, so she's not inclined to suddenly see the light and become a nice, law abiding citizen anytime soon. And while she's not going to be killing anyone, or even physically harming anyone, the kind of work she does can easily ruin lives. Even if they've done nothing wrong, with a few hours she can certainly make it look like they did. It's possible that she could end up either exposing or fabricating something that could just completely ruin someone's life, to the point where they might even have to live off the grid like she does. Even if that doesn't happen, anyone ideologically opposed to Origin would likely have some problems with her.
Lovers
What's a libido anyway? Maybe it's because she never ate, but Naveta's puberty came late and didn't affect her that much. She blames this on why she still looks twelve. Not only does she not have any interest in intimacy, but she has enough trouble just making friends. Going deeper than that is unlikely to happen.
Others
I'll fill this with other plots when I think of them. If you have any ideas, feel free to share them with me even if they're vague. We can work it out and maybe get some threads going.
