Name:
Meraki
(pronounced may-rah-kee; Greek): Doing something with soul, creativity, or love. It’s when you put something of yourself into what you’re doing. I was originally going to make this a trait, but I decided it was much better suited to be her name since it embodies the way she goes about everything she does. There is not a word for it in the English language.

Nunchi - 5% (Korean) the subtle art of listening and gauging another’s mood. In Western culture, nunchi could be described as the concept of emotional intelligence. Knowing what to say or do, or what not to say or do, in a given situation. A socially clumsy person can be described as ‘nunchi eoptta’, meaning “absent of nunchi". There also is not a word for this in English.
*Just a note on the last word, I was going back over the form trying to find a place or word to use to put in there that really shows that she's a good friend, that she gets others despite some of her other qualities maybe not making that very apparent. I have known the word Meraki for a while, so I thought maybe I could find another word that didn't exist in English that could work, and I think Nunchi says what I wanted it to perfectly.
