Description: A moderately attractive woman, she wears just a white suit. Her black hair is drawn into a tight pony tail with a skull scrunchie. She wears round tiny glasses practically rammed into her face.

Personality: She likes to make people angry or surprised. Her respect, as difficult as one would find it to earn, is unwavering; those who more than prove themselves to her, a bar set well above any reasonable standard, she tolerates in varying degrees. Though less modest and more hasty in her reactions to snap at those who irritate her, Nogu is combative with any and all who dare try her patience in the slightest.

History: A studious child she never was much for a social life, not because she was unlikable, but because she did not seek it out. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the island to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the island due to the painful memories there. Nogu took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up bastard sword and armor she uses now. She bought a bastard sword and has really upped her game hunting, due to her understanding of decoy and ambush.

Motivation: She's repulsed by the PC; and she would like to get married and retire
