Tomboyish with very little regard towards fashion. Noelle for the most part dresses according to the weather and other outside factors. Very rarely does she dress up for herself or others, and has never put much thought into her wardrobe altogether. Slightly loose clothing, jeans, and jackets are a staple of her everyday where. She will often layer up her clothes, such as throwing a jacket on over a button up thats layered over another shirt. She always wears the same tan work boots and has a favorite tan jacket with leather cuffs and hood. She is a fan of easy mobility. One thing of note is that she still wears her name tag from work, even though she no longer has a need for it.

Noelle has exceptionally smooth, tan skin with very few blemishes that lend naturally to her attractiveness. Perhaps not beautiful by todays standards, but exceptionally pretty non-the-less. She is quite short compared to many people, standing at only 5'2" and built with a slimness to her that is only accentuated by her strength. Working out often gives her a defined shape, and a clear power to her. She hasn't had a haircut in many, many years (trims don't count) and thus her hair is extremely long and often done into two side braids. Whenever it is left down it is naturally very straight and deep, deep brown in color - the same as her eyes. She doesn't often wear makeup, and has never gotten the appeal of it but when she does its usually very light eyeliner and lipstick and almost never full-face.

Strong willed, hard headed, and abrasive are just three strong words to describe the odd and often wishy washy way that Noelle seems to be. Emotionally at a fault when it comes to any emotion stronger than anger. She can be both self-serving and helpful in the same span of a few minutes and tends to have about zero clues as to where she's headed next. Confident in a way that screams insecurity, and altogether lonelier than she ever wanted to be. She makes friends easy, and can keep them for a while, but it all comes down to the distance she keeps between herself and others. Afraid to lose others, but not afraid enough to cling on with all her might.
An acerbic young woman with a tendency towards harsh. She rarely has any clue what to do with other peoples emotions and thus tries to keep a light mood whenever things get dour. She may seem to be dour at times but truthfully likes to pretend that everything is okay with easy smiles and bad, dry humor. Not quite a lazy individual, but lazy enough in the way she refuses to deal with things on the emotional spectrum. Often trips over the line into manic when things are out of her control or hard times befall her.
But she isn't all bad of course, she's soft in the ways that matter. The ways that make her a good person to be around. Loyal and honest with a dash of adventure seeking behavior. An adrenaline junkie with too much time on her hands and an interest in the macabre. Can be the best road trip partner you ever had or the scariest depending on how you feel. Has been known to traipse through abandoned buildings just to catch a glimpse at the ghostly remains of its history. Interested in the more eclectic things - and really, who doesn't love a good spook now and again. Grim jokes for days with this one. And certainly a whole mess of trouble wherever she and her friends go.
Can be stubborn as hell and opinionated to boot, but knows how to use her words just as well as she can her fists. A high school drop-out but she certainly has the book smarts to keep her on the up and up logic wise. Always stops to think when thinking needs be done and looks at puzzles from a unique perspective. Tends to be an out of the box sort of 'thinker.'

Spit right into the fire at birth. Noelle's mother died no less than a week after Noelle was born, surgery complications, or simply put she had been far too old to be having a fifth child at all at the ripe age of 53 years old. But Destiny Desjardin had wanted a little girl so badly. Badly enough that she was willing to die for Noelle to be born. And hell, it was amazing that she could manage to have a child that late in life anyways. Besides being motherless her childhood wasn't bad at all. She had been raised in Alaska - though the little clan of Desjardin boys and herself often found themselves taking the Skagway across the Canadian border to visit their relatives in good ol' British Columbia.
Many people over the years have assumed that she gets her fighting spirit and quick temper from growing up with five older brothers, an assumption she is always quick to squash beneath her boots. Of all her brothers, only her middle brother Frankie (Deceased - Age 22) had ever exhibited the same fighting spirit. And of the six Desjardin kids they were the only two who managed to make so much trouble for the family. Her father was a man who demanded respect, almost militant in a way, but a docile creature non-the-less. He ran a veterinary service for the people of Sitka, had quite a following in the community too. He kept the business in the family for the most part. Her oldest brothers Mateo (35) and Luca (34) followed his foot steps closely in joining that field, first as his assistants and then as practitioners themselves. While her other brothers went off to college, Henri (33) the med student, and Theo (27) chasing after a law degree. Noelle and Frankie grew up the odd ones out, five years apart but similar in tastes and interest. Frankie went off the rails a few times, dragging Noelle down with him - and similarly, she did the same to him.
Their father had a hard enough time wrangling six kids, let alone watching over his own business and attempting to keep the family from falling apart under Noelle and Frankie's insistent rebellions. The two of them wound up staying overnight in jail a time or two because he simply couldn't deal with their messes. For a long time, Noelle didn't care that she was disappointing her father in doing these things. But eventually as she aged and came to realize that he was just looking out for her best interests things started to slowly change. Frankie though - he never did get back up off the ground. She saw it coming a mile away but it still hurt when she started finding the needles and seeing the barely concealed track marks. For his sake she said nothing about it to anyone else. They could all see it though.
She was seventeen when he died, had found him in fact after she had decided to skip school for the day. He had been shooting up, heroin, and had passed out flat on his back. The scattered remains of beer cans though meant he hadn't just been doing the drugs, but drinking as well - never a good combination. Wound up drowning in his own vomit. The ME had told them he likely hadn't felt a single thing when it happened with the amount of it in his veins. Noelle was three months off from being eighteen and all she wanted to do after that was escape. Her father and brothers tried to support her as best she could but none of them had ever bonded with her quite the way Frankie had. She didn't want to follow her fathers footsteps, she didn't want to go to college, and she had no interest in finding anyone to settle down with - so she ran.
At eighteen she packed her bags, got on her bike, and disappeared south. Traveled from state to state for a while before winding up at Calvin's Salvage and Automotive Repair - a shady business that profited off of people who didn't really know any better. Her bike was in shambles, she was down to her last five dollars, and hadn't eaten in a good three days. She was running on fumes, and Calvin's wound up not being half as bad as she assumed. At least, after she called him out on his shit and wound up getting to know him and his absolute mess of a sister Dahlia. She's lived with them and worked for the Auto Shop for a number of years now, has picked up quite a few tricks from this as well on the art of scamming extra money off of the unsuspecting suckers that came in with their cars. Hell, she's even learned a few things about actually fixing things up. But for the most part she worked the front desk, and did the housekeeping.
She hadn't spoken to her father or brothers in months, maybe even a year. She wishes that she had done more to keep in contact now, now that she's unable to know what has happened to them.
