Personality: Getting older hasn’t really caused Naomi’s attitude to mature. She’s still the same energetic girl who spends most of her time finding new ways of having fun. To her, life is all about hanging out with friends and making connections. There's a constant need to be surrounded by positive people. Silence is the enemy: as along long as she doesn't have to sit alone with her thoughts for too long, she's probably having a good time.
How she feels at any particular moment is never a secret. If anyone ever wants to find out her opinion, just ask. Actually, she will most likely end up sharing regardless, only occasionally remembering to use professional niceties or proper etiquette. It is better to be honest and work out problems as they come up. Leaving things unsaid would lead to a lot of pent up resentment (at least on Naomi’s end), so she doesn’t hide anything.
Naomi defaults to being pretty self-centered, prioritizing whatever benefits herself (or Viola) above all else. She expects the universe to work out in her favor and make her plans succeed… Not that she’s always right. Plenty of these ideas suck, she fully admits, but views these mistakes as opportunities to learn and do better next time. Naomi has no problem deferring to someone else’s leadership, and she’ll play along as long as the rules don’t get in her way. It’s when random idiots try to boss her around that she starts to push back twice as hard. She would rather do something counter-productive out of spite than listen to someone she doesn’t already respect.
Appearance: 
Naomi takes great pride in her appearance, constantly exercising to maintain an athletic figure. She considers her round face and wide blue eyes as her best features, for making her seem youthful and radiant (the tons of makeup she wears certainly helps, but don't tell her that). Her wavy blonde hair is kept in a short bob, never reaching past her shoulders. Most of her outfits are designed to show off and attract attention. Her wardrobe is filled with clothes of various bright colors—usual choices being white, sky blue and red. She is mostly sticks to wearing some sort of jacket or long sleeved blouse with a more revealing top underneath.

Personal History: At first, she didn’t like being different. Growing up as the blonde foreign kid in Japan felt weird, as if she’d fit in better with a different hair color. But hey, other people put up with worse and they were alright. Eventually Naomi grew to love standing out, and didn’t appreciate when everyone stopped caring.
Existing wasn’t enough to stand out.
Acting came about as a natural extension of this longing for praise. Apparently most people find a hobby by choosing whatever they’re good at, but all the genuine interest came later. The spotlight was attractive enough on its own. She made sure to watch as many performances as she could in order to be the best performer on the stage.
Of course, she had some help from her ‘partner in crime’ Viola. The shy little nerd ended up joining the drama club Naomi was a part of. The two of them shared a fascination with western media, and the kid knew a lot about directors and things Naomi never even considered. They bonded almost immediately. Most of those high school days were spent hanging out together and having fun.
Their relationship slowed down once Naomi graduated. It was time to move on, go to acting school, begin her career. She preferred sticking to theater, at least to start. If she happened to become popular enough to end up on television then she’d take the opportunity. Who wouldn't?
But for now, the local scene had this unique feeling that was worth holding on to. Getting to know the people involved with the production, seeing all the regulars in the audience—it made everything special. Life wasn’t perfect, but she was satisfied.
Naomi fell into a routine that was starting to get a little dull for her taste. It lasted until she came across an old friend. She happened to run into Viola again at this old bar, and apparently the kid was going through a rough time. Naomi didn’t miss a beat and invited Viola to come and stay for a while. They could catch up, relive the good old days.
That invitation wound up getting extended over and over again. Naomi forgot how well the two of them worked together, and didn’t want to give it up again. They ended up moving to the same apartment in Tokyo in order to perform at a larger theater. Right now, they’re saving up enough money to go on vacation overseas.

Personality: Behaving as though she has more confidence than she naturally possesses has become a way of life. It is important for Viola to give off this aura of not being bothered that easily. For the most part, she acts in a very calm and professional manner. Viola puts effort into being polite when talking to anyone in a position equal to or better than her own. Honesty and straightforwardness are two easy ways to get on her good side.
Acting this way tends to be more productive than her natural habits. Sometimes she even manages to trick herself into being optimistic about the future. As much as she tries to convince herself about the importance of positive thinking, her old pessimistic nature occasionally sets in. She’s always had this tendency to overanalyze situations, making problems larger than they really are.
Viola is a hard worker who believes that anything worth doing is supposed to be hard. It's better to slowly get everything done perfectly the first time around. A constant challenge keeps her motivated, and is necessary to fight off habitual laziness. To her, shortcuts and easy solutions only lead to more mistakes being made. The idea of putting off work is enough to bother her—actually watching someone procrastinate is infuriating.
At this point, she tends to go along with whatever Naomi has planned without much argument. All of Viola’s resistance is directed towards strangers, where she honestly doesn’t want to trust people. They don’t have her best interest in mind. Maybe if she was the cool goggle-wearing anime protagonist, but reality is more likely to screw her over. Better to be safe and stay suspicious.
Appearance:
Viola has short purple hair that partially obscures the left side of her face. Her slight build and youthful appearance haven’t really changed much from her high school days. On stage, she often ends up playing a student alongside actual teenagers. Aside from an unhealthy obsession with the color purple, most of her wardrobe is plain and nondescript. Sure, she’ll get dressed up for work, where it’s important to look nice. Any other time, she intentionally chooses outfits that do not take very long to put on: shorts, t-shirt, maybe a jacket if it isn’t scorching hot outside. One of several pairs of boots of different lengths are the last part of the outfit.

Personal History: Viola was always wanted to go out and see the rest of the world. Probably inspired by her father always meeting new tourists as part of his job, coming back home with all sorts of interesting stories. Realistically speaking, going to all these places would be hard, but there were other ways to satisfy her curiosity.
Music, books, movies: consuming foreign media gave Viola a way to experiences other worlds beyond plain old Japan. Sure, the stories were mostly fictional, but she’d always get to see somewhere new. After a while, she started to get a little too obsessed. Most of her free time went towards binging some new series, or learning useless trivia instead of studying for class.
As a way to get her out of the house, Viola was ‘encouraged’ to go join one of the clubs at her school. Give her a chance to socialize with other people for once. Helping out the drama club seemed like a perfect opportunity to work in the background, while helping others tell the stories that she loved.
Here was when she first met the upperclassman called Naomi, who was really smart and cool and pretty. They spent a lot of time together working on various scenes. The older girl even managed to talk Viola into actually going on stage instead of hiding out backstage. Starting off with a musical seemed intimidating, but it helped her discover a new hobby. Nothing else was anywhere near as fun.
Those years will always hold a special place in Viola heart, but it couldn’t last. They had to grow up, get real jobs, become productive members of society. Someone like Naomi would have the talent to chase the dream of reaching celebrity status. Viola lacked the confidence to try and focused on improving her terrible grades (apparently spending every day watching movies with some blonde chick didn’t help with passing math tests).
She tried to come up with a more traditional line of work. Honest. None of them managed to hold her interest, so after graduation Viola started shuffling around through various part-time jobs. Anything was good enough as long as she could be independent. Even if it made her miserable.
The days started to blur together, until a particularly long period of unemployment. The restaurant Viola had been with closed down, and she couldn’t find a replacement gig that paid enough to cover rent. Moving back with her parents wasn’t going to happen. She held off for as long as she could, hoping to come up with a better option.
During a brainstorming session at a local bar (she thinks better drunk) Viola literally ran into her friend Naomi. It had been years since they last messaged each other, but that hair was impossible to forget. Viola happened to share her current situation, and Naomi offered to help strategize.
…Somehow this lead to the both of them living together, but hey, there aren’t any complaints on this end. They’ve been together for a few years now, moving over to a better apartment in Tokyo. Trying to be an actor ended up being as hard as Viola expected, and it was absolutely worth the effort.
