Fan Casting Naomi Adler in Pulse Line

Third-Year Medical Student. Hyper-Intelligent and Socially Awkward. Naomi often masks anxiety by over-explaining medical details or retreating into silence. Despite her awkwardness, she’s deeply empathetic with patients. Her emotional intensity becomes especially obvious once she falls in love. When relaxed, however, Naomi becomes unexpectedly warm and expressive. Naomi was raised in a high-achieving medical family where success was expected rather than celebrated. Her mother, a cardiologist, valued perfection and professionalism. Her father, a neurologist and researcher, viewed emotion as distraction. Naomi grew up admired for intelligence but rarely understood emotionally.
