KIND:
Tori is outwardly friendly, and will do just about anything to help another person out no matter what Her friendly nature becomes a tad subdued in overwhelming social situations where she has to participate in large groups, however. She is down to earth, and understanding of mostly any circumstance surrounding an individual. Upon her meeting with Itachi, she found herself able to look past his past deeds, and with the situation at hand she did what she could to get to know him as a person outside of his actions to understand him better. Tori is empathetic and capable of sharing her struggles with others in order to form a bond and a mutual understanding of hardship with another person. She is forgiving, and willing to hear out anyone that needs an ear.
SILLY:
Tori loves to laugh, and often copes with the use of humor amidst tough times. She’ll try to make a silly joke out of anything at the appropriate moment. Her humor tends to be on the random side- blurting out anything that really comes to her mind or just making a passing comment to what’s going on presently. She notices when people laugh at her jokes, they can get a bit more comfortable around her, so she hasn’t stopped. She’s just a silly billy. </3 She does what she can to make the mood more light hearted.
PERSISTENT/DRIVEN:
If she can sense someone’s hurt and closing themselves off due to this she will go to any length to help them open up and feel safe. Whether this is through buying them a little something, offering a comforting touch, or just sitting in silence with them and striking up conversation to distract them- she will do anything to make someone she cares for happy!
She’s also someone who continuously wants to better herself and get stronger (mainly because she’s scared to die!) so she is willing to do anything in her power to be better- both physically and as a person.
NURTURING: Just naturally knows how to care for another human being- using a calmer voice when something goes awry, asking permission to touch before initiating it for a comforting touch, learned techniques on calming someone else down, etc.
Would often watch the younger kids in her days at the Academy, due to a lack of peers her age and the need for a volunteer’s eyes on the kids. Got along well with them and had a lot of patience for them!
IMPULSIVE: Tends to say whatever comes to mind without fully realizing what she’s saying- which can result in her sounding really, fucking stupid and not to be taken seriously.
CLUMSY: Trips over herself a lot pre eye surgery and this only worsens as she gets used to her depth perception. Taijutsu was something she always strived to be better in and struggled with so it’s something she’s had to overcome with a lot of hard work and training. Still often bumps into corners she doesn’t always see.
NAIVE: Tori is very quick to forgive others, and is still unsure about how a lot of the world works, often spacing out during difficult conversations and only tuning into what directions she needs to complete. She is easy to take advantage of and manipulate.
SENSITIVE: Tori has a sensitive heart and can get easily offended. She is very much someone that can’t take what she dishes out when it comes to verbal assaults.
This sensitive nature of hers really came out in her youth in the Akatsuki- amidst the puberty and unsure environment away from everything she knew, she would often spend her time holed up in her room crying hysterically when not training or out on some kind of mission.
MOODY: Tori can go from being really bubbly and energetic to completely detached and apathetic in just a moment if something hurts her feelings- she is also not herself in the mornings at all and takes a few hours to wake up.
INTELLIGENT: Tori is an avid reader with an outstanding imagination and can break down concepts of a variety of subjects with ease, being able to explain her own prerogative in a professional manner that starks her very stupid sense of humor. Loves to learn and will research just about anything for fun and for the sole purpose of just knowing something new. Fun facts, if you will!
She is able to learn rather quickly and apply skills in the ways meant to as well as coming up with her own techniques surrounding them to better suit her fighting style and the harrowing situations she faces in battle.
DRAMATIC: Tori is subject to dramatic outbursts stemming from her sensitive nature and insecurity. She has exaggerated mannerisms and when socializing will try and do whatever she can to make others laugh and this feels like a performance within itself.
EAGER TO PLEASE (to a detriment): Tori is pretty desperate for positive attention and to make someone feel better she will do just about anything to get it, even if it means she’ll get hurt.
OBLIVIOUS: She can be completely unaware of what’s going on in her surroundings when she spaces out, and just doesn’t always use her brain which can cause her to trip, to misunderstand a social cue, etc. If she isn’t careful she can easily lose the upper hand amidst a fight.
