Get the Naoishe mug.A mostly male name, but when for girls is a mysterious vixen, never revealing everything she knows. Not shy, straightforward at all times, always headstrong and sticks to her opinions. Wild in bed (or wherever else you get her). Determined to win at everything she does, even if it's just a conversation. Hateful at times and knows how to inflict deep mental pain, but incredibly loving when it's needed. Amazing music taste, alternative in every way.
