Her Firebending being a martial art, Naomi has been extensively trained in multiple areas.  She is strong, agile, and has a high reaction time.  Even if not using fire, she can use the fighting skills she learned from Firebending for effective close quarters combat.  The fighting style focuses on using a quick and powerful barrage of blows to overwhelm the opponent with brute force, and contains little defensive moves. Despite this, the martial art involves much more technique than it would at first appear to. Strikes exert incredible power, but only momentarily, much like an explosion, and circular motions are key to the fighting style.

[i]Firebending:[/i]
Firebending is the art of fire manipulation, and definitely the most aggressive of the four bending arts. While other bending techniques would involve having to use external sources, Firebenders create fire with their own internal body heat.  As for the fire that is created, it depends on the move used. There are many ways for a Firebender to use their element.

However, it does have its weaknesses. Breathing control is majorly stressed for Firebending, as poor control of breathing leads to poor control of the created flame, which could lead to it burning rampantly. Also, while strong emotions such as rage can amplify the power of Firebending, it can also lead to a loss of control, possibly leading to the harm of the Firebender or unintended targets. Finally, because of the mystical link Firebending has to the sun, the power of the fighting style is lessened at night, and especially during an eclipse, as well as cold temperatures.

Naomi herself is an above average Firebender, and uses powerful offense, forgoing almost all defense, feeling that it will slow her down. The moves Naomi have mastered include creating fireballs, explosive blasts, streams of flame, narrow arcs and rings created by sweeps and kicks, small jets from the fingertips, whips and lashes made of flame, controlling other sources of heat, disks of flame, and the ability to 'charge' her attacks. However, there are still other, even more powerful techniques she has yet to learn.

[i]Lightning generation and redirection:[/i]
Naomi has the rare and unique ability to create and redirect lightning. Creating lightning requires complete peace of mind, and lack of any and all emotion for the duration of the attack. By doing a circular motion with one's arms, while separating the positive and negative charges, also known as the energies of yin and yang. When the two energies come back together, lightning is created, and the bender guides it to the intended target through their fingertips. Redirecting lightning from another source is a somewhat different process. The lightning is absorbed through one arm, led through the gut, and out through the other towards a new target.

Manipulating lightning can be a dangerous technique to use, and performing it incorrectly can be harmful, even deadly. Because of the necessity for the clarity of mind, and how close lightning comes to the heart when redirecting it, any distraction can cause the energy to go off course, harming the bender. Also because of the concentration necessary to use these techniques, they take longer to preform than normal Firebending attacks until one is a complete master. While spending time in the InFamous universe gave her the chance to practice using lightning with Cole MacGrath, she has yet to fully master this power.

[b][i]Personality:[/i][/b]
Despite the aspect of control that Firebending training imposes on students, Naomi is a person that is ruled by her emotions. She is quick to anger and violence, seeming to always look for an excuse to fight. And, while in a fight, she does everything possible to win, and despises any loss. Coupled with her anger is a streak of rudeness and sarcasm, which is used on almost anyone. All she seems to care about is advancing her own goals and growing stronger, and will go through anyone that gets in her way. In fact, she is always blaming herself, and attempts to grow stronger and make up for any perceived mistakes by obtaining every bit of power she can, to an almost obsessive degree.

However, there is a hidden, softer side to the Firebender. If one manages to get close enough to her to be her friend (an achievement that is no mere feat), she will be their faithful companion, ready to fight for them at a moment's notice, showing that she truly is capable of caring. She'll have to learn to trust first though, and her trust is not easy to gain. But it is truly Naomi's passion that is her greatest strength. Any interest or goal she sees through to the fullest, especially when it comes to her Firebending. Naomi is truly a diamond in the rough, her good side needs only to be coaxed out.

[b][u]Alignment:[/u][/b]
Neutral, but eventually Good.

[b][u]Appearance:[/u][/b]
Naomi has black hair, which she dyed with red highlights after becoming an Interference.  It is cut in a sort of messy bob cut, which is parted in the middle in such a way that her hair covers most ofher left eye much of the time.  She has amber eyes, and due to her Fire Nation ethnicity, has a longer than wide eye shape, a higher nose bridge than other nations with the nose itself being somewhat small and rounded, and more distinct cheekbones, and somewhat pale skin.  She also has a small stud earring in her right ear, a family heirloom.  Also, due to her long and extensive training in the art of Firebending, Naomi appears more muscular than most people would be at her age, but not extremely so.

She wears a black tank top which reveals some midriff, black, somewhat torn jeans, and knee-high padded combat boots.  A  studded belt with a buckle in the shape of the [url=http://images.wikia.com/avatar/images/9/9e/FireNationEmblem.png]Fire Nation[/url] emblem is wrapped a loosely around her waist, a pack that she uses to contain various items is strapped to her right thigh, and bandages are wrapped around her forearms and fists.

[b][u]History:[/u][/b]
Naomi was born into a wealthy Fire Nation family located in the capital of the nation. Her mother died in childbirth, and she therefore never felt attachment to her, and was happy being raised in all the luxuries of being rich. However, while fighting in the Fire Nation's war against the other three nations, her father was capture by Earth Nation soldiers, and died as a prisoner before the war's end. Because of her close bond with her father, this news devastated Naomi, a depression that was made only worse when the loss of her father also meant the loss of her family's status when there was no way for only her and her caretaker to pay the taxes. Eventually, the strain grew too great on her, and Naomi ran away from home, with nothing but the clothes on her back, and still a young girl.

Eventually, she managed to join up with a group of street urchins, and spent much of her time trying to raise money, not always through honorable means. Eventually, once she had enough money, she paid her way into a Firebending academy, having discovered her talent. She managed to excel in all classes, and learned very quickly, gaining passing grades at every opportunity. However, this earned the ire of a few other students, who felt that someone so obviously poor should not be able to be so affluent at bending. One day, this tension reached a peak when they grouped up and attacked her, telling her that she was not allowed to be any better than them due to her social status. Of course, she realized that this was a completely stupid concept, but was unable to do anything against the group. From then on, she refused the offers to take advanced classes.

On a stormy day, Naomi had been on her way to class, hurrying to get out of the rain. Suddenly she was struck by lightning, but instead of being harmed at all, she somehow managed to direct it through her body, and out the opposite side safely. However, onlookers had realized what she had done. One of the very few known people known to use lightning was the former princess Azula, who was hated for her cruelty. The onlookers quickly turned into an angry mob, in fear of Naomi being like the ex-princess. However, before she could be harmed, there was a bright light, and Naomi had quite suddenly disappeared.

She soon awoke in an unfamiliar place, and soon discovered she had appeared on another world entirely.  Determined to find new ways of mastering her Firebending and recently discovered Lightningbending, Naomi ventured into the Interference realm.  She met other Interferences during her travels, most notably Kalas and Azumi Ian during a trip to Atlantica, and Spencer Johnson while in The Land of Dragons, whose attitude she came to despise.  She continues her travels as an Interference, hoping to master her Firebending talents and restore her family’s former honor.
