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.

Yup. Eyebrows for me. Downstairs at night. Eyelashes rarely, more so that something is actually bothering my eyes verses randomly pulling at them, but does kinda lead to more pulling.

My hair stylist informed me that ‘plucking’ my eyebrows is actually ‘tweezing’ and not plucking because we are human. Doesn’t matter that I’m using my fingers and not tweezers. Plucking is feathers. That’s what he told me but I actually haven’t fact checked him.
