POSITIVE TRAITS
- creative -- noah has always looked at the world in a different way and a different angle than most of his peers. that's just always how he's been; most people just go along with his ideas at this point.
- laidback -- he's someone who does everything on his own time, at his own pace. he likes to take his time with everything he's doing and all the steps in between, as well as have an infinite amount of patience towards the people around him. he doesn't get too fussed about much of anything at all.
- sunny -- generally speaking, noah is always in a bright mood, with a blinding smile to go with it. that isn't to say that nothing brings him down, but his general outlook on life is positive -- hardships only exist to make a person stronger, and there is always a bright side no matter how dark times look. there aren't many times where you'll find him angry about something, and if he is, it's usually short-lived (or may be assuaged with a cupcake).
NEGATIVE TRAITS
- passive-aggressive -- due to his being a regular pacifist and his sunny disposition, when something does irritate noah, he ends up internalizing it and doesn't really know how to express his discontent in a direct manner, mostly because he doesn't want to hurt anyone. he'll end up being kind of passive aggressive, but it's so obvious when he's upset/less-than-stellar that most of the time, people pick up on it and ask right away.
- slightly ocd -- if you really want to get on his bad side, though, then mess with his belongings and the way he orders his life. he's always had a slight compulsive need to keep his bag, room, his entire life organized, and messing with that order is pretty much asking for a deathwish. it's not so bad that it's an uber compulsion, but there is a very limited amount he can tolerate.
- forgetful -- keeping in his life in order, though, only helps with the fact that he can't remember things very well. he can remember important things -- birthdays, what have you, but he's a little airheaded and so sometimes, he'll just utterly forget the fact that he made plans with someone to go to the movies or something. you can pretty much expect him to forget something unless he writes it down, so he carries around a small notepad with him at all times just to jot things down.

BEST MEMORY his 8th birthday! it was the first year his mom let him have a birthday party after two years of subtle bugging. he spent it surrounded by friends and neighbors and, generally, really had the best time in his childhood.
WORST MEMORY even though his father left his mom when noah was considerably younger, it wasn't until he was 12 that the impact of his father actually being gone really hit him, the implications of it and what it all meant finally becoming rather clear.
LONG-TERM GOAL to attend college at the academy and become a nutritionist.

HISTORY
noah's past is precisely that -- the past. he doesn't think about it a lot, but accepts it for what it is. he was 4 years old when his father went on tour -- this was nothing new, as his father's a pretty talented musician -- but every time he left before, he came back. but this time, he didn't, and that was the end of having a father figure in his life. 4 years old was too young for him to really understand what was going on, but since then, his mother became the person he trusted the most as she was the only parent around. having no siblings and no other family within any sort of close driving distance, he grew up to be a straight up mama's boy.
because he needed things to keep him busy while his mother worked, he was signed up for a lot of after school activities at a young age, swimming and dancing being what he naturally drifted to as he was always an active kid, always on the go. as he grew up and mellowed out, getting rid of the active side, his affinity for swimming and dance stayed, something he still does to this day when he gets the chance. academics aren't completely lost on him, however -- he tends to gravitate towards things that are more abstract rather than absolute, such as english over math, art over science. that still rings true to this day.
when he was 12, his father made a brief appearance back in his life as he breezed through toronto on another tour. noah was and had always been hopeful and optimistic that it meant that he was ready to be part of his life again, but rather, it was his father coming to notify his mother and him of his elemental abilities, having inherited them from his father himself, telling them to be on the lookout for his powers manifesting within the year. needless to say, noah learned firsthand exactly how much his father didn't really seem too invested in his life, and since then, he's vowed to not be invested in his in return. while it's a subject that makes him sad sometimes, his positive outlook on life hasn't changed at all -- he grew up with fun neighbors, awesome friends, and best of all, a loving mother. there wasn't much else he could have asked for, given the situation.
sure enough, when he was 14, his first signs of elemental powers came to light when he offhandedly made more dandelions sprout from the earth because he liked blowing them into the wind. when his move to the academy for high school was decided, he took a long time to accept moving so far away from home and was adamantly against it, but eventually knew that it was what was good and best for his own sake. now at the academy, his life has taken on a much more similar path, just doing whatever he can to keep himself afloat and happy, filling his days with dance and swim whenever he can in between all his responsibilities as a student.
