Naima

A beautiful, East African princess. She is the type of person that exudes confidence but is nonetheless humble by nature. She is quite the leader and has an amazing personality to account for it. Not only does Naima excel in academics, but she is also a self-proclaimed activist. Being extraordinary is simply inherent to her.

She may be stubborn, but when she loves, she loves hard and fast. Be yourself around a Naima because she can detect lies from a mile away. But more importantly, love a Naima because she will complete you-- like yin and yang-- Bonnie & Clyde.
Guy 1: "Hey, did you build up the nerve to go ask Naima out?"

Guy 2: "Are you kidding me, Naima is way out of my league! Besides, I rather just admire her from afar."

Guy 3: "Well one thing's for sure, she is definitely out of your league!"
