Noemi Capra

[noemi]

001. NAME• Noemi Halley Capra
002. NICKNAME• Noey
003. AGE• 23
004. BIRTHDATE• August 13, 1986
005. WHERE YOU LIVE?• South Bronx, New York City, New York

001. YOUR FACE• Natalie Portman.
002. HAIR• Noemi's hair has looked the same since she was fifteen, when she first took scissors to her hair as a sign of her teenage rebellion. The dark brown (almost black) locks are cut in a sharp bob that ends just above her jawline.
003. EYES• Her eyes are a warm brown color, something she's always hated. In her late teenage years, she took to wearing colored contacts before finally learning to love her eye color.
004. HEIGHT• 5'3
005. WEIGHT• 117 pounds
006. BODY MODS• None. She's considered getting her ears pierced or a tattoo, but her fear of needles (and pain) has stopped that.
007. FASHION/STYLE•
Fashion... isn't something that has ever truly interested the twenty-three-year-old. Growing up, she had an older sister that was always very fashionable and into the latest things, but Noemi could have cared less. As she blossomed into adulthood, sure, she started to care a little more about what she looked like, but that basically just means she won't go out with her hair sticking up.

Most days she can be found wearing a t-shirt and jeans, rarely springing for something more sophisticated or feminine. It's not that she dislikes skirts or dresses, but that she hasn't ever purchased any. Her mother once bought her a stereotypical 'little black dress,' but that dress has stayed in the back of her closet with the tag still on it.

As for accessories, she's a girl that loves her choker necklaces and barrettes. She also has a love for Rocket Dog shoes that tend to be scattered around her messy room. Bobby pins, too, are always lying around her house.

001. LIKES• As aforementioned, Rocket Dog shoes. She also likes video games, Flamin' Hot Cheetos, Indiana Jones movies, roller coasters, water, running, math, and the smell that's in the air before or after rain falls.
002. DISLIKES•
Any and all soda, even light ones with lemon-lime flavor. Blisters from walking too much, girly talk, needles, pain, short shorts, pineapple, and men with thick beards.
003. FEARS•
Needles, plane rides, strong storms, vampires, werewolves, horror movies, and fire.
004. STRENGTHS•
Noemi's a friendly person, she has a good sense of humor, and she's very tolerant of other people and their beliefs. Math comes naturally to her, too, so she tutors at the local college some nights. She's a good cook, as well.
005. WEAKNESSES•
Procrastinates, makes rash decisions, very bad at keeping plants or pets alive, has allergies, and is horrible at backing up her car.
006. ODDITIES•
When she eats breakfast, she usually gets a cereal box out to read... even if she's not eating cereal. She pops her fingers and knuckles all the time, which annoys or disgusts a lot of the people she's friends with. When nervous, she twists her fingers. She often chews the inside of her cheek when bored or thoughtful.
007. ORIENTATION• Straight
008. SPECIFIC MORALS• Mostly just, 'don't judge a book by its cover.' Though she's slightly hypocritical about it, since she has an idea of how 'evil' werewolves and vampires are without ever having met one.
009. PERSONALITY OVERVIEW•
A friendly and humorous person, Noemi gets along with most people. Even those she disagrees with or dislikes she won't be particularly rude or mean to, unless she's having a really awful day and cannot be tolerant anymore. It's happened before and she usually feels extreme guilt after yelling or insulting someone. It takes a lot to get under her skin, though, since she's very good at just brushing off insults or rudeness.

Around her friends, more of her tomboyish side shows. She loves eating pizza with her male friends, along with hosting a monthly get together to play video games and watch movies like Transformers and Iron Man. Sometimes she teases her friends to the point that they get irritated with her constant sarcasm and her inability to take most things seriously.

And the love department... well, Noemi's never had much luck there. Her first boyfriend came when she was twelve (he was thirteen) and the only thing they ever did was hang out and watch cartoons. They never kissed, but she still considers him her first relationship. Since then, she's never had any other serious boyfriends. When she likes someone, she's a little too good at hiding her crush, so an opportunity for a relationship passes her by. People have accused her of 'flirting' with her male friends, but she insists she's just 'friend flirting,' which is teasing friends or generally joking around with them.

Her worst fault is definitely her tendency to procrastinate. In school she generally received average marks (instead of the above-average marks she was capable of) because she would do all of her homework at last minute. Sometimes she even did her homework in the period right before the class the work was due in.

001. PARENT ONE• Carson John Capra, her father, owner and butcher of Capra Meats.
002. PARENT TWO• Dana Susanne Capra, her mother, a retired nurse.
003. SIBLINGS• Susan Dana Capra, her older sister. Halley's thirty and lives in NYC with her husband and daughter. She is a school teacher at a middle school.
004. PETS• None. Fish always die, as well as any hamsters she's ever had. Noey's afraid to get anything bigger, because she's sure they'll die as well.
005. HISTORY OVERVIEW•
Carson Capra and Dana McCarthy met through their parents, who had been friends in college. Soon after meeting, the two began to date. Three years later, they were happily married in a modest marriage ceremony in New York City. A year after that, their first daughter, Susan, was born. Susie was all smiles, her brown hair quickly growing into softly curling locks. When Susie was three years old, her parents sat her down one day to try and explain that they were going to have a baby... Susie would have a little sibling to play with and look after. She was overjoyed, certain the baby was going to be a girl and they could play dress up together. Seven and a half months later, Dana's water broke while she was working her shift at the hospital.

On Saturday, August 13, 1986, Noemi Halley Capra was born. Her middle name was derived from Halley's comet, which had arrived in February earlier that year. Susie kneeled on her mother's hospital bed, smiling in satisfaction. She had been right - the baby was a girl and she had a little sister to play with! Finally! It had been hard waiting those months for her sister and now she was finally here... she couldn't wait for Noemi to grow older so that they could grow closer.

When Noemi grew older, her sister finally seemed to realize that maybe they wouldn't be able to play together. Noey liked to play with the boys that lived in the apartment next to theirs, making car noises as they raced each other down the hallway. In the years to come, Noemi and Susie never became very close. Sure, they loved each other and would always look out for one another, but they didn't play together very often... even as they grew into their teen years, they had different friends and so they never ran in the same circles.

After graduating high school, Noemi moved out of her parent's apartment and started renting her own in a different building a few blocks away. Even after moving out and getting a job, she found she still saw her parents at a regular basis. She now spends her days in a variety of ways: sometimes she babysits Susie's daughter or works at her father's butchery, which is her main form of employment. Often at night, they'll get customers who request the excess blood that has gathered when Mr. Capra cuts various pieces of meat. They always have the best reasons why they need it (doing a study that requires blood, science teachers that want to show the difference between animal blood and human blood, for some modern art project, etc) so Noemi hardly ever denies it.

Yo', my name is Megan, and I've been the walking dead for 16 years, and I've been grave robbing for 4 years, I dug up lovely Crimson Kiss by means of Hollow Art and adore it.

001. ANYTHING ELSE?• Nothing, really. =D
002. ROLE PLAY SAMPLE•

Natalie wondered why Kwik-Rent (referred to as ‘the Kwik’ sarcastically and lovingly by its employees) hadn’t been forced to close down yet. She hardly ever saw any new customers. When she did have to create a new Kwik-Rent account for a customer, they usually just rented one movie and then never came back. For example, once a college guy and his friends had created an account when everywhere else had all of their copies of the Dark Knight rented out. They had rented and returned the movie within the week rental period and then they had never come back. That happened a lot. Five times out of ten, probably. It got old. The customers got old. Mrs. Lebles and her habit of renting Singin’ in the Rain every Thursday afternoon, Mr. Schwartz and his fixation with My Neighbor Totoro.

The blond girl sat at the counter, flipping through a magazine she had pulled from the magazine rack. That was one of the perks of working at this place. There was a whole section of magazines just waiting to have their transparent plastic covers carefully removed, read, and then carefully put back. Terry, one of her managers, was an expert at doing this. Natalie, however, failed at removing a plastic cover without tearing it. So she preferred to read the magazines that didn’t have the protective plastic wrappings on them, like today’s Seventeen. She was just starting to read about how to apply fake French tips at home when it started.

The all-too familiar tingling was unsettling. The last time it had happened, holy hell had it hurt. This time, she wondered if it would be the same. It looked like she would be right… The tingle started to quickly escalate into actual pain, a surge of shocking muscle tensing coming with it.

I hate this, she thought, briefly grimacing as she tried to get back into her magazine. The person would continue walking and be out of range soon.

She was wrong this time. It didn’t stop. The source of the pain walked straight into the little movie rental store (bringing a fresh wave of bright pain) and glanced at her. “Hello,” she called, her forehead creasing as she tried to stop the intense pain from showing on her face. “Welcome to Kwik-Rent. Anything you need help finding today?”
