School/Social Life
______________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________
Job || Noelle works retail at the local Target – and she loves when they play Christmas music over the speakers! She’s always dancing around the store!
Reputation || Noelle is a bubbly, social girl and thus is well-known at Metric Academy. She’s kind of known as a ditz, especially after Jared cheated on her for literally all of their relationship and she only found out last year. Some people think she’s pitiful, but most students spread rumors of her dumbness and naivety. It’s painfully obvious she’s not over Jared and some people call her pathetic for still pinning after a guy who obviously doesn’t care about her.
Friends || Eloise Temple. Noelle met her under odd circumstances. Out of nowhere, Eloise approached her and told her that Jared was cheating on her and if she wanted to catch him, she could find him at XYZ place with anonymous person. Initially Noelle was furious and got angry at Eloise for even suggesting her boyfriend was unfaithful! But, her trustfulness in others won over and Noelle decided to go to the place just to prove her wrong! But unfortunately for Noelle, she discovered her boyfriend sleeping with someone else – Eloise was right. Afterwards, Noelle invited Eloise out for dinner to thank her for bringing this knowledge to her attention. Unfortunately for Eloise Noelle burst into tears in the middle of it and got emotional about Jared deceiving her. Eloise’s blunt responses and retorts helped calm Noelle, and she was appreciative of her and considers Eloise a friend. Noelle still feels as though she is indebted to Eloise and is always determined to pay her debts.
Enemies/Rivals Jared Symons – her ex-boyfriend who she caught cheating on her in April of last year. She considers Max Carter not someone who is her enemy, but someone who she dislikes, because she was Jared’s dance partner and, at the moment, Noelle is convinced he was sleeping with her all along, too.
Relationship Status || Newly single. Noelle was dating Jared Symons for almost two years and was really happy in her relationship with him. She seriously saw it going places – even to the point of fantasizing that after they graduated he’d propose and they’d move in together. Unfortunately last year, she caught Jared cheating on her with another girl and was devastated. After losing her temper at Jared and the girl he was with, Noelle broke up with him. She seems to hope Jared will come around and realize he messed up and apologize to her. She just wants to have meant something to him as more than a girl to sleep with and deceive. While she was naïve and trusting when in the relationship she’s since changed – now she’s less trusting and more skeptical of guys and their intentions with her (though she wants to believe in men, she really trusted Jared).
Clubs and Organizations || Noelle is a big part of the dance major on campus, as well as a dedicated member of the school’s GSA.

History

______________________________________________________________
Family ||
Renard Xavier – Father – 45 – Retired Vet || Noelle’s always been a huge daddy’s girl. Her father has been a member of the United States Military since he was 18 years old. Ever since Noelle was born her family’s always moving because of his different requirements. Noelle is a total daddy’s girl and is quick to defend him as he is to defend her. Renard is 6’5” tall and very beefy – when she shows pictures of him to her friends they’re often surprised at how large he is! He likes to use Facebook even though he doesn’t really understand technology very much. He’s always posting odd statuses and playing Farmville.
Susanne Xavier – Mother – 43 – High School Teacher || Noelle respects her mother a lot and loves her dearly. Often the two of them are the ones who decorate the Christmas tree and set up all the decorations around the house. Noelle will often call to check how she’s doing.
Rowan Xavier – Younger Sister – 19 – High School Student || Noelle and her younger sister are pretty close – while Noelle’s always been a dancer, Rowan is a singer. Rowan now lives with her boyfriend in a cute little apartment not too far away from Salem. Every so often, Noelle will go visit her or vice versa.
Extended Family || Noelle has a lot of family members that are all related to her parents. Her father has 3 brothers, and her mother has 2 sisters and 1 brother. Noelle has a lot of little cousins who seem to multiply each year she sees them! Noelle has always loved to play with her little cousins and will often prefer to hang around the kids at family gatherings than the adults.
Hometown || She was born in Stafford, Virginia. Her family currently resides in North Adams, North Carolina.
Vehicle/Transportation || A 2007 Chevrolet Impala.
Backstory || Noelle was born to a pretty stable, happy family. As a child, Noelle mostly spent the holidays and days with her mother. Her father, for the longest time, was never around. But one Christmas when Noelle was 10, her father came home – for good. He had been injured overseas which devastated both Noelle and her mother to hear, but he was alive though he had a prosthetic leg now. After he came back to America, he was given domestic positions, and as a result, the Xavier family had to move from their hometown of Virginia to many other bases so that Renard could be closer to his job. Noelle’s mother, a high school teacher, could make a living teaching pretty much anywhere and so she substituted for a while while Renard’s position was in the air. When they finally settled into North Carolina when Noelle was 14, her mother applied to be a High School teacher for their town.
Noelle was always close to her father, going ice skating with him all the time and watching movies every Saturday night until well into the morning. Noelle’s mother always loved to watch her daughter and husband being so close together. Every Fourth of July was spent doing something fun – going to an amusement park, having a big family barbeque, something of the like. Her extended family was always coming over for holidays to hang out and have fun.
While Noelle liked her family and felt at home there, school was a different story. She never made friends very easily – as a kid she was shy and when she did get excited, other kids found her weird. She was teased often and as a result her self-esteem began to plummet. She was diagnosed with depression in middle school. To try to become more of ‘herself’, Noelle dyed her hair bright red and tried to put herself out there. That only resulted in the teasing getting worse – she was called ‘period head’ as a nickname by her peers and people began to think she was gross and unhygienic. That wasn’t true, but it really stung Noelle and that was what motivated her towards self-harm. She hid it with long sleeves and pants, and acted as normal as she could with her family.
One thing that didn’t result in her being teased was dance. Since she was 11 she was signed up for classes; and immediately she was a whizz at the course. She was a teacher’s pet and learned the moves quickly, to the point that she wound up showing her classmates how to perform them. Noelle thought everything was perfect, until one day she came to the dance studio early and overheard her classmates complaining about what a teacher’s pet she was and how she wasn’t even good. That sparked a severe downwards spiral for Noelle – her self-worth was at an all-time low and even her family noticed something was wrong when she began skipping dance classes to go and sit by the pond. She did not open up easily and did not want to burden her family with her problems. She instead looked forward to the Christmas holiday – during which all her family was too distracted by presents and the family lasagna to really pry. When she was 13, however, one Halloween her family saw the scars on her arms and sent her to therapy.
It was not an immediate success. But, eventually, she admitted why she skipped out on dance. She loved to dance, but didn’t feel welcome at the studio. The therapist told her to practice as much as she could and that there were other options for learning how to dance. This gave Noelle hope and she began to practice in her room; making her little sister play piano for her so she could dance to it. Noelle was taken by dance, especially to Christmas music and holiday jingles. She would always dance along to the TV, and would always excitedly bounce on her bed when Christmas movies came on. She always loved that her name – Noelle – inspired Christmas thoughts! Her family, glad to see that Noelle loved something so passionately, enrolled her at Metric Academy in Salem.
Transitioning to a new school was hard. Noelle dyed her hair bright red freshman year and was determined to make friends! She still wore long sleeved shirts all the time to hide the scars, but she tried to be sociable and nice. While she did find she clashed with a lot of people, like her first roommates, she did excel with her fellow dancers. Noelle made several friends in her major who all were on par with her and who helped her out! Being at Metric really helped Noelle and she began to find reasons to put off her self-harm. By the time she was a junior, she was brave enough to walk round in 3/4ths sleeved shirts. She had many friends and though she often doubted her self-worth she usually tried to forget about that by giving her friends nice things and fiercely defending anyone who talked badly about her friends. She went through a few relationships, too. They were all nice guys and most of them ended on decent terms, too. Noelle was always amicable and understanding – though most of that was a front she put up so that people would like her and think she was agreeable instead of a jealous and insecure girlfriend.
When she went to college, she decided to change her look. She re-dyed her hair brown and put in blonde highlights. She was now less afraid to expose her skin and wore tank tops and Capri length shorts and skirts. Her boyfriend at the time, Michael, was the ‘love of her life’. He was her first love, but they fell apart her sophomore year and broke up. She was devastated, and took up extra dance classes that semester. One of these times, she met Jared Symons – and they were partners for that one ballroom class. She fell head over heels and he seemed to feel the same way. By November that year, they were dating. Most fo their dates were movies – Noelle dragged him to the theater, where he’d often prefer to make out in the back rather than watch the movie. When he came to her dorm for dates, they usually started watching movies and ended more physical than she intended on getting. Still, Noelle didn’t mind, especially not when she finally opened up to him about her self-image insecurities. He made her feel so validated and loved by the words he said, and she had no idea he was just cooing at her to get in her pants faster.
Last year, Noelle was given a tip by an Eloise Temple that her boyfriend would be with another girl in his dorm. She was skeptical, but wanted to prove how wrong this tip was! So, she invited herself to Jared’s dorm. When his suitemates tried to block her way, she was confused, until she heard sounds from the other room. Her blood ran cold as she shoved them out of her way and forced Jared’s door open – catching him with his dick in another girl. Noelle went completely numb, able to clearly hear the tired tone of the boy behind her – ”sorry, bro, she just forced her way in” – implying that this wasn’t new! This was something Jared was regularly doing behind her back!
Noelle made a few squeaking noises and it was plain everyone expected her start sobbing, but instead she grabbed Jared’s belt off of the floor and began to whip both Jared and the girl he was sleeping with, her vision completely red. Jared’s suitemate had to grab her and restrain her as she screamed at Jared and the girl, even going to whip the guy trying to restrain her! The boys in the suite kicked her out forcibly and she went to her dorm to wallow and bawl her eyes out. Never before hard Noelle been so devastated by a breakup – because her other breakups weren’t half this bad! Noelle was – and is – convinced that Jared was just sexually frustrated, and felt something for her. After their breakup, she tried to make him jealous. She hit on guys in front of him, even going as far as trying to hook up with one of his suitemates – but he didn’t care at all! Noelle couldn’t believe it.
That summer her self-esteem plummeted even farther. Being betrayed by Jared, someone who she had told about her self-esteem and self-harm related issues, was too much for her. She relapsed and when her family found out, they sat her down and found out why. Understandably her family – especially her father – wanted to track Jared down and murder him. Noelle assured them, though, that she could handle him herself. She decided to get an apartment next year, so she wouldn’t risk Jared being hookup buddies with any of her suitemates. Noelle is still devastated about what happened, but is trying to hold her head up high and make this year her best year ever!
It does hurt when Campus Sweetheart calls her a dumb broad, though, and Jared obviously not caring makes her want to grab a belt and start whipping his ass again. But she’s getting to a better future – one step at a time!
