Personal Style: Cloche hats are needed for any outfit that Nora wears. She never steps foot into the public eye without one, her hair curled to match it. And while Nora can be partial to the stereotypical flapper dresses, she's more likely to wear a bit of a pleated skirt like
this and a plain top. Her clothing generally has straight lines, and she tries to wear things that won't cause her to boil with the weather. Whenever there's a bit of a chill, she'll either wear a muted brown blazer with block patterns, or a button down coat similar to the one in the first gif. For shoes, Nora tends to wear firm brown work shoes, with just a bit of a heel to them.
Levelheaded * Unapologetic * Honest * Untrusting * Clever * Outcasted
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Relationship Status: Single
Personality: Growing up as the youngest child in a household concerned about appearances, Nora was raised to be quiet and polite. Her upbringing has caused her to be a very calm personality, not prone to large displays of panic, terror, or excitement. She doesn't consciously hide her feelings, she just merely isn't as expressive as some. She sees the world for what it is, rather than fooling herself with illusions of what it cannot be.
Because of her lack of a husband, she's become a bit of an outcast in society. She has the mentality of a loner, one used to spending hours alone and eating meals with only the company of the silverware. And while she is a curious person, clever is a far better descriptor. Her mind is able to analyze things quickly, allowing her to see -- what she believes -- to be the truth. Nora doesn't have time for nonsense. She only wants to deal with truth.

What Brings You to Cairo: Nora wasn't meeting up with the family expectations. She didn't take any suitors, and instead, completed a program in mathematics at university. Her college didn't grant full degrees to women, and Nora was about to head out into becoming a clerk. Her favorite brother had moved to America, his sweetheart Fannie pregnant with what would be the first of many children. There wasn't much left for her to do in England. In order to avoid the scandal of his youngest daughter working as a clerk, Dr. Kingston agreed to take Nora with him to Egypt. Due to the entire craze of the groundbreaking excavation, the archaeologist decided that his daughter would suffice as an assistant. Nora knew that an opportunity to travel to Egypt wouldn't come along again, and so she accepted.
Life Before You Moved To Cairo: Nora was the youngest child born to Dr. Richard Kingston, a professor of anthropology. The Kingstons were a relatively prominent family, enjoying much wealth and influence. Each daughter was to be wed to a man of suitable stature, with the sons being educated and launched into respectable professions. This worked out for almost all of the Kingston children, aside from Nora.
She never held much of an interest in becoming a wife. While she knew that she could join the protests and fight for her rights, it didn't bother her too much. The world was the way it was, and similarly, she felt she'd be the way she would be. Nora hardly saw a point in fighting the world, instead content to just make choices from what was available to her. She attended college, with the help of her eldest and favorite brother, Ethan. Her parents (and their town) were scandalized by it, yet Nora didn't care. She completed a mathematics program, enjoying the way that patterns crept up amongst the numbers.
She then returned home, living in her parents' house. The world interested her certainly, but there wasn't a path yet for her to strike out. Her father repeatedly squashed her attempts to use her certificate, instead insisting that Nora marry. Suitors came and went, with Nora's honest and perhaps blunt method of communication chasing them off. Regardless, Nora knew that her parents' house wasn't the place for her, and she'd have to strike out on her own soon enough. Egypt provided her that chance.
Life Since You Moved To Cairo: Nora has largely been content and happy. Her father allows her to scan through his findings for patterns, leading her to attempt to decipher or at least identify phrases in hieroglyphics. She can't understand them as a language, but the patterns she adores in math are found in words as well, and so she continues to search. While she realizes that an assistant position is a waste of her certificate, she also knows it's perhaps her best chance. The world wasn't meant for her to take strides in. She would take what she could get.
