Can also describe the looks others give you when either your child freaks out or you do something they disapprove of.

Nomin

A beautiful, smart girl. She knows the right things to say, and is always there to help you through tough times. She uses logic to figure out worlds unsolved problems. But she can also come off as a bit sarcastic and rude, she means no harm though. All around Nomin is a girl you can rely on if you have a personality that well suits her needs.

Samantha: I don't know what to do.
Nomin: It's okay, you'll figure it out, you're young.
