BIOGRAPHY

Born in Vientiane, Laos. Living the first 15 years of her life off her uncle's fortune, partaking in the trafficking of illicit narcotics at a young age. The two were close due to them being family, not having many friends due to her uncle's line of work.

Enlisted in the LPAF by her Uncle's wishes to "Carve a better path for herself". Was not liked by her peers for her cocky attitude, overly aggressive tactics, and habit of prioritizing her personal safety over the team.

After 3 years of service in the LPAF, excelling in Close Quarters Combat, dishonorably discharged due to repeated physical altercations among teammates. Spent the next 6 months back to working for Kapano Vang despite his reluctance, eventually fleeing to Urzikstan after an argument with Vang about difference in beliefs, multiple people injured; their relationship has been strained ever since.

During her time her path crossed with Nikolai, in search of work she signed a long term contract with Chimera, with one year of service.

Shown to exhibit signs of social anxiety and difficulty forming close relationships around people her age. Inherited Kapano Vang's short temper in combat, though more relaxed outside of it.

Developed a bond with Syd, seeing her as an older sister. Often paired up with Sebastian Krueger in order to keep them both in line.

Relationship with Family: Nak still idolizes her uncle to an extent, but the more that she's out in the world,the more she realizes that he isn't a good person. Nak’s mother wasn’t present in life. Her uncle took her in after mother wasn’t able to care for her. Naga trained her at a very young age; he thought it was best if she was strong in their lifestyle.

Pet: Cat person, never was allowed to have pets but she would throw scraps of food to strays.

PERSONALITY

Myers Briggs Type: ESTJ-T

Nak is an extroverted introvert, she likes and enjoys talking to people, however it drains her energy quickly since she's not used to talking to people in such a casual manner. Things like talking business she’s more used to.

Adaptable

A quick thinker, Nak is able to carry out missions by finding creative solutions to make sure her operations are successful. Outside of the battlefield her adaptability allows her to have better communication with people, even with her social anxiety.

Pragmatic

Nak strives to make the most effective solutions so it’s easier on her in the future. Her decision making skills ensure that she’ll survive in the field and outside of it.

Responsible

Living on her own, Nak is responsible, she can’t relax unless all her work is done beforehand. As she starts forming close relationships with people, she realizes that she likes taking care of people.

Negative Traits

Stubborn

Starting out Nak isn’t a very good teamplayer. She doesn’t like others telling her what to do or how to do things so she’s stubborn in a way that she’s adamant about what she wants but adaptable with what methods are needed.

Judgemental

Her formative years with Naga didn’t allow her to trust people, because of the Golden Triangle Cartel she has a habit of being overly critical of others.

Paranoid Perfectionist

Nak is self-demanding, she doesn’t take failure lightly. This leads to her paranoia of not being properly prepared. She becomes aggressive out of frustration if her ability isn’t to her liking.

TRIVIA

Nak is a shortened version of “phayanak” the mythical water serpent in Laos, it’s also the Lao pronunciation of “Naga” which is her Uncle’s name in the field.

Her face paint draws reference to how snake teeth are shown in Phayanak statues. There are multiple snake motifs in her design. Is the design practical? No, she just likes standing out in that way.

Nak cuts her own bangs (long blunt bangs) she doesn’t trust anyone with cutting them.

Has a lot of upper body and lower body strength; she can lift things heavier than her and calisthenics skills (handstands, full planches, etc.)

Often, most people's First impressions of her is that she's "Unsettling."

Ngl I thought vernon was chell after seeing her with Am lol

I think it's because of the tank top xD I actually took the outfit inspo from this look Helga Sinclair (Atlantis: Lost Empire) wore!

I hadn't heard of chell until a couple days ago since I don't often dabble in Video Games, but it's a pleasant surprise!

(Plus I just like drawing pretty Ladies in Tank tops lolol)

Phayvanh and Vernon in Tank tops :3

I have ZERO clue if you have put this somewhere on your blog before, but what animal would Nak be? Im sure some sort of reptile, but specifically what species?

Howdy Anon! I haven't really disclosed what animal she would be since I always want to make room for people's interpretations and theories about her :) Thank you for the ask! 💞💞

What animal would Nak be? (+ Krueger)

Nak is a Black Mamba (Dendroaspis polylepis) or any type of snake/serpentine really. There are a lot of snake motifs in her design, one being her face paint and chest rig. Snakes are a complex symbol, much like Nak, but they usually mean danger.

Positive Symbolism - healing, wisdom, guardianship, immorality, sensuality

Negative Symbolism - death, destruction, evil, disease, poison.

Krueger is a Harpy Vulture (Harpia Harpyja) or a Bearded Vulture (Gypaetus barbatus). My interpretation of his personality is more in line with these birds since they are not scared of humans, like a dog taking scraps of meat. Vultures usually have a bad correlation in the world, so I like to think that because of this assumption, he would have to try his damnedest in spite of his talent.

Positive Symbolism - luck, happiness in the sacrifice of one's life, Eagerness, Prowess

Negative Symbolism - death, the Underworld, fear.

KruegerNak Thoughts

Before they started dating (And Krueger was in the one month stage of pining) Nak used to be so directly flirtatious to the point Krueger would think his heart was about to give out. It wasn't like she was oblivious, she just liked egging him on a bit for attention. Crazy bitch was playing mind games.

Like telling him to stop and stay still to adjust his scrim net so he looks presentable, before resting her hand on his shoulder for what seems like a second too long. Then she goes and has the AUDACITY to go "Hm. Good, better this way."

Her getting real close to do his face paint, her fingers lightly on his jaw so she can paint over him properly. Because she keeps complaining "The way you do it is so sloppy." Or saying "I don't mind, you're easy on the eyes." as if it was NOTHING

Krueger saying Nak dresses nice only for her, with a sly ass smile to respond with "I look cute, don't I? Why don't you change so we can match." Doesn't matter if it's their gear or civilian clothes.

She's such a good flirt until she gets affection straight back. Anyways 8 reblogs and I'll write a Nak x GN!Reader.

I don't think you can see it that well but Krueger's scrim net is in a similar pattern to Nak's face paint
