When I look into all of your stupid faces
I think how fun it will be to pound them into dust
Hair: Blonde, white blond, gray in color
Height and Weight: Five Foot Five Inches/One Hundred Fifteen Pounds
Other Distinguishing Features: Her eyes can glow at times depending on the darkness or light surrounding her. Her hair color should really cause her to look older but actually brightens her youthful glow.
Overall Appearance:
Naja is reminds you of a village girl with her outfits and smiles, but she is quite lovely in her own right. She has deep yet wide set eyes, innocent looking except their color reminds you of flames or luxurious burgundy velvet. Her thin, rich hair is grayish white and she worn her hair in a style that seldom changes. She wears it in a ponytail while her bangs falls between her eyes with one sideburn slightly longer than the other. The only she usually change is the ribbons to hold up her hair.
Her body a bit like a slim princess when wearing her school girl style yet it covers up the hourglass shape build to it as it also reminds of a cat with how flexible she is. She mostly has a slender build to her body yet it is the type that you think she can be a good athlete. She mostly wear attires according to. How she feels, but perfers white and black in her designs of fashion. She also wears hats at times, so don't be surprise to see her with a berat or cap on.

Man up or I'll beat you with my peace prize!

Fears: Having her dogs taken from her. Being abandoned.
Secrets: She doesn't like going to the northern coastal realms for her land since she still has nightmares.
Isn't as naive as everybody thinks she is. She had plenty of losts yet hides them well from everybody (mostly).
Why you may ask she doesn't have her own sled dogs since she sure does hang out with them, both breeding and training them? It's because
Any Quirks/Habits: Acts childish at times. Doing puppy dog eyes when she wants something (especially to her brothers). Smiling to cheer up people. Whining when she doesn't get her way. Digging into a Book.
Overall Personality:
At first glance, Naja can seem pretty much a child to please or a push over. She is very innocent in certain categories and very much acts like the life of the party. She is the one viewed as spoiled at times, but don't let that fool you she can be very competitive and a good spy. Don't assume she's just acting all the time because she is a bit naive in subjects. She loves cheering people up, but can seem selfish when she doesn't get her way even though her main pleasure is keeping her dogs and cats well trained, fed, and happy. Don't even try to be bad mouth about animals or you will get a kick to your belly and a fist in your face. Not worth the trouble, really, she's overprotective of animals.
Naja is very much a talker and loves to converse with other. She's actually quite observant when she is serious and a bit possessive of her loved ones and animals. She is adventurous yet sometimes her trips can cause chaos, not always yet watch yourself when she does drag you off somewhere. She's brave when her friends need her the most so you will be surprise often by her courage especially since she can be scare easily. She's loyal to the core so don't mess with her or her friends (animals, hetalians, and humans included).

I'm the hero!
[li]Early Paleo-Eskimo Era
Greenland came into being when the Saqqaq Culture and Independence I Culture inhabited the icy island in 2400 BCE. Both cultures survive several centuries, but the Independence I were gone by 1300BCE whilst the other ascended life until 800BCE. The Saqqaq were mostly in Disko Bay by what remains were found there. Independence were in northern Greenland which would explain why they didn't survive long.
- Greenland was just a small baby and was found by Indepence I couple since she blossomed into exist in the North of the island. She was well cared for and thought as a gift of Nature by the couple. She grew to being a toddler, but when neighbors of her parents question why she didn't age, she was frighten and ran away about twenty years after being with the couple.
- After a forty year travel since she also got lost and all, she arrived in the southern area which had the Saqqaq people. She still was a child then and she was thought of as a nature spirit and was worship, however much she argue the people did so.
- She felt the Northern tribe gone exicted which led to her rushing back to the area and moaning their lost as she just sat there quietly in mourning.
- She went back south and remain there until the culture became descreased.
[/li][li]Late Paleo-Eskimo Era
Greenland was repopulated by the Dorset culture who replace the now extincted Saqqaq in the west while the Independence II remains the original in the north, but they were clearly different race from the former Independence I culture. The Dorset culture was first to extend from west to east, in the coastal realms throughout Greenland. They survived on mostly whale meat as they were whale hunters and even survive into Common Era by the time the next culture sets off to Greenland. The Independence II Culture was in part contemporaneous with the Dorset, however died out in 80BCE.
- She, upen feeling newcomers, went to the northern realms and lived there the whole time since she thought it will be homey.
- Once northern population died, she went to be alone and stayed isolated for a whole semi-century before going to the other culture seeing she was too scare and lonesome.
- Learned to whale hunt and build other things with the Dorset people and soon was quite the brilliant huntress and tool maker.
- Became interesting in this new Thale Culture and went to explore them.
[/li][li]Norse Settlement Beginnings
Erik the Red was banished for three years from Iceland due to murder and found the island of Greenland. When Erik return to Iceland, he packed up and brought his men back to Greenland. Because of the Medieval Warm Period, vegetation was different than modern days. Erik named the island to market it for people to visit. After the warmth period, a Little Ice Age happened inbetween 14th and 15th centuries
- She meets the Viking Erik and spend her time with him as he was exiled to Greenland and made plans for this new island. When he named it, she got overexcited and kissed him causing some awkwardness. She was now looking like a teenager.
- Learned new trading and marketing.
- Often dressed like a Norse woman.
[/li][li]Thule Culture and Norse Failure
The Dorset Culture survive whilst the Indepence II Culture went extinct until the onset of the newest culture called Thule by 1500AD, but the Thule Culture arrived in 1300AD and introduced dog sledding and togging harpoons first to Greenland. They came from Alaska and started to migated in 1000AD. They were also the ancestors of modern day Greenlanders. Of course, the Norse settled in via 986 and failed mostly when the Norse Greenlanders joined the Norwegians rule in the 13th century. Norway joined an union with Denmark in 1380 and 1397 became part of the Kalmar Union.
- Was happy when the Thule brought along dogs and made her first sled team.
- Starts to breed her own sled dogs by 1200
- Saves her first litter of puppies from hunters and finds a hat with some kittens in it, brings them home.
- When Norse Greenlanders join the kingdom of Norway, Norway adopts her for a little sister and often takes her to his country. Same when Norway entered a personal union with Denmark, Denmark or Denny as she nicknamed him, starts to take her on trips.
- Gains roomates during Kalmar Union: the union put together three kingdoms Denmark, Sweden(then including Finland), and Norway(then including Greenland, Iceland, the Farae Islands, and, prior to transferring to Scotland, Shetland and Orkney). The Union was from 1397 to 1523. And become clear why she still calls Norway her brother before Denny was.
- Loves exploring so it's all Norway and Denmark's fail with her talkative and aderturous attitude.
[/li][li]Abandoned
The settlements vanished due to a mixture of famine and fights with the Inuits, letting Greenland be forgotten.
- She was being ignored by Norway and Denmark.
- She kept breeding dogs and also cats due to her loneliness so she wasn't totally friendless.
- There was still some Thule people about so she wasn't quite lonely, just piss at her brothers.
- What do they be discovered when she had been discovered before and now these expidations were going on???
[/li][li]Rediscovered
Between 1472 and 1814, Greenland had a series of expeditions going on. First was Christian I of Denmark sending Pothorst and Pining in 1472. Then Henvy VII of England send Cabot in 1497 and 1495. Next in 1500, Manuel I of Protugal sent the Corte-Real brothers who later gave details so a new map was created. 1605 to 1607, King Christian IV's Expeditions of Greenland happen in order to assert Danish soveregnty over Greenland and was unsuccessful for the most part. Re-establishing early 1800s, led by a jointed team of Danish and Norwegian, and Danish gained soveregnty.
- She hated having to be violated by Denmark, England, and Protugal without they giving her attention.
- Soverengty! So after ignoring her and planning to force her into submission, she made sure of the failures aboard the expeditions from Denny. She wasn't giving in without a fight.
- After several months of reasoning with her, Denmark gain her trust and thet became family again.
[/li][li]World War II
Treaty of Kial happened when Norway and Denmark dissolved jointed kingdoms and Denmark gain several colonies of Norway e.i. Greenland. Connections between Denmark and Greenland was severed when Denmark was under Nazi Germany on April 9, 1940. April 8, 1941, American soidlers occupied Greenand for defense against invasion through Canada and Greenland until 1945. During wartime, Greenlanders gained a self-reliable.

- Continues to breed sled dogs and training them. Keeps a few for her company since she doesn't sled anymore because of incident.
[/li][li]Modern Times
Gained modern warfare statics with Denmark as a sponser. Gained equalities with Denmark in 1953. 1979, granted home rule. June 2009, continuing to be self-governed.
- Thanks to America, she decided to go for self-government, but she was cautious in her approached with Denmark.

You've got it backwards! Backwards!
Hurry up and throw it! If you don't hurry up and throw it, you'll go "boom"!
The park was a perfect place for her to allow her favorite people freedom as it's been too long since they had run around and play. There were her two angels, Diamont and Perle, running off to some adventure and mischief. Sne trotted next to her while his litter-mates (though they weren't exactly, but they were raised together all the same), Rav and Smaragd went to catch squirrels. The matepair, Morgen and Nat were keeping the peace when Chokolade leapt onto Rav. Morgen growled at Chokolade and she just panted innocently. Naja laughed at the excitement of her pack because everybody would have notice her people weren't human, nation, or anything else but dogs, but they were hers and she loved them.
Kaja walked around the large area of the park and stopped when a beautiful girl came over to her and sat down in front of them with a wagging tail. Naja smiled and offered her hand so the girl would know her scent before stroking her silky furred head. "Hello girl, I'm Naja," she introduced herself. "Who might you be?" She grinned down into those big puppy eyes. "Aww! I can't resist," she whispered and kneels down to be level with this beautiful girl.
She just loved dogs, Sne whimpered a bit beside her, and sniff at the arrival of this female, and here comes Perle to check out the newcomer. Perle sniffed the air while Sne kept an eye out for danger. "Sne, you need to relax, my boy," Naja laughed and patted Perle, hugging her. "This is Perle and that boy is Sne," she told the wagging tail beauty sweetly.
