[sup][h3][color=LightSteelBlue]❱❱❱❱ APPEARANCE[/color][/h3][/sup]
[indent]Since Noah is half Filipino and half Caucasian, his appearance is unique in the small town of Red Herrings. His eyes are almond shaped and have dark brown irises, making them look almost black. He has his father's angular face and his mother's large and thin mouth. The complexion of his skin color is medium brown and his nose is aquiline, because of his mother's Spanish background. The hair color is black, common for most Filipinos, and it is wavy. His hair is like his father's hair, but it can grow longer. Because of his healthy diet and not eating out often, his body is healthy and doesn't appear to be too chubby. His height is the average of 5'4" for most Filipino men, making him taller than his 5'3" father. His accent is American with a tinge of Spanish with a melodic quality in his sentences, which is why he is a good singer.

Because of his appearance, he often wears clothes that make him look neat. He would often wear bold sweaters with different patterns with regular jeans. He also has some jacquard cardigans when the weather is cold enough or going out with friends. A boy would wear Converses or Keds, but Noah wears boat shoes often enough; however, he does have a pair of Keds that he wears while going out with friends.[/indent]

[sup][h3][color=LightSteelBlue]❱❱❱❱ PERSONALITY[/color][/h3][/sup]
[indent]Noah grew with a stable family and they were pretty wealthy as well; however, his father taught him that people aren't as useful as resources. That makes him self-reliant, but he often blames his self for simple mistakes and feels guilty for asking peoples' help. He's also enlightened about the world around and knows things that no fourteen year old should. That's because of his mother since she showed him how to read newspapers and tell him about current events in the world. But, that makes Noah boring to some of his young friends since they rather play with games than talk about the Cold War.

If you get to know him, he's a romantic and imaginative person. Both of these personalities came from his mother and his self as well, given that they both love to draw and often would draw together once in awhile. He shares a couple personalities with him and one of them is that they are both realists. Orland had to work all day during his childhood and until he got enough money to go to college to become a doctor. He taught his son that the world is cold and harsh early on. Because of that, they both are anxious over simple things and mistakes.

Noah has been getting more anxious as he's becoming a teenager and something else is going on behind the scenes. He believes that he could have feelings for boys rather than girls. If his father finds out that he has feelings for guys, then he could get in trouble or worse. His father is catholic and believes that homosexuality is a sin. His mother won't know what to do, but she would most likely say that it could be a phase. Noah is hopeful that it's just a phase as well and he will be over with being gay by the time that he's an adult. 

Because of that, he doesn't share personal stuff with his family and friends. His father is like that as well, meaning that he could hide secrets as well. And they both are focused on completing the task ahead and they don't like people who procrastinate often while working on something. Given his father's family, they were strict on him and punished him if he would procrastinate on homework. His father doesn't punish him if he doesn't do the work, but he would remind him of the work until he does it. As a teenager, he's getting annoyed by that and would often talk back or roll his eyes as his father is reminding him for the seventh time about his homework.[/indent]

[sup][h3][color=LightSteelBlue]❱❱❱❱ TALENTS[/color][/h3][/sup]
[indent]Noah is one of the smartest students in his school, because of his father's strict guidelines on school. And since his father and mother were in a school band, Noah decided to join one in the third grade and has learned how to play guitar, piano, ukulele, violin, saxophone, and the banjo (he learned that instrument to make friends with people from the southern states). He's also in the school's debate club and it has improved his critical thinking skills and made him into an effective speaker. 

Since his father has medical skills, he was taught the basic skills that can save someone's life (like CPR for example). And his mother taught the most important skill to have: cooking. Before she went back to work, she taught her son anything about cooking from measuring to timing. And he loves to draw with his mother.[/indent]
