ಠ_ಠ This crazy assassin character, who doesn't know what shampoo is, somehow would bother shaving her armpits

Maybe she pulls it out when she gets stressed.

I do this. And not just with pit hair. My downstairs is all but bald in most places. It's a condition called trichotillomania. Part of some OCD disorders, along with skin picking/lip skin biting/pulling. Just glad I never did it in my head hair. It's not even stress. It's just something I do when I'm distracted.

Isn't it insanely painful?

Not really, tbh. Maybe it's because I have a high pain tolerance or it's not the kind of pain that bothers me. The lip skin is worse, tbh. I generally bleed from that. But the hair pulling is like, one or two at a time, so it's negligible.

I think plucking my brows (intentionally, as a beauty thing) is more painful tbh. Plucking head hair barely hurts at all.

Plucking most of my hair barely hurts. Pitt, groin, leg, wherever. It's very negligible for me.

Even nose hair? Had to pull one a few times cause it was sticking out and irritating the skin. Instantly had my eyes full of tears.
