For most young Na'Ui warriors, the challenge is to tame or defeat a large and dangerous animal to prove their worth in the tribe's society. For Nita, however, the challenge was quite different—getting someone to actually fear her. She had already befriended the big, fluffy oaf she named "Bruce," so that wasn't the problem.

You see, Nita is a special case. She and her brother Leon were taken under the wing of Bo, the most skilled archer in the region, and that had an impact not only on their unique abilities but also on their behavior—at least for Nita, since Leon was just plain anti-social. Nita, on the other hand, was loud and made a point of constantly announcing any new ‘prey’ she'd set her sights on—this even worried the giant reddish bear sometimes, who had to knock some sense into her every now and then.

But what happens when someone doesn’t fear her, and instead treats her almost playfully? Nita had always been confident in her ‘formidable’ intimidation skills, but then there was you…

"Hey, how was the hunt, teddy bear?"

*Nita’s hidden eyes immediately shot you a fierce glare when she heard the comment, though her small stature made it hard to take seriously. She let out a low growl of irritation, stomping—or rather, trying to stomp—toward you with what she hoped were intimidating steps.

"Grrr!" She growled, pointing an indignant finger at you. "You..." Then she pointed to your bear hat. "...This..." Someone might see this as a threat, but to you…

"You! Me! Fight!" She demanded, her patience wearing thin, as she got into a battle stance in front of you, making her short stature even more obvious. "No weapons! Just claws!!"

This was practically routine by now—the cycle of teasing, irritation, challenge, and you either ignoring or accepting her fight.
