Personality: Nora keeps to herself. She works hard, understands quickly, and gets things done. Nora was always known as the hard working girl throughout high school, and things didn't change when she got into college. She did well, and not because her parents excepted her of it, but because she enjoyed the satisfaction of finishing what she had started. Nora needs that, to finish whatever she's started. She isn't the type of woman to have several unfinished craft projects lying around the house. If she did crafts she would formulate the idea, get the supplies, and then execute the activity. However introverted and serious she may seem, she has great amounts of feeling. Once someone has chipped away at that thin layer of professional on her exterior they find a warm, fuzzy, koala bear type person.
She's got a little bit of a bite, but ultimately just wants the best for everyone. Sometimes she doesn't know how to say something at the right time, even if it is the right thing to say. Freedom and humor run through her, something that is always contradicting her need to be a professional adult. Nora is an introvert, but still needs and loves human interaction. If she had a choice she would conduct medical business in a hole somewhere, but she knows she needs people around her to make her a good person.
History: Eleanor Roma Boch was born in Seattle, Washington. Her parents were mildly successful painters and she lived in a crunchy organic granola kind of way. Nora never found talent in the brush... Or any other artistic field, but she found a love for science at a young age. Her family was lower middle class and struggled to make life all that it could be, but her parents did everything they could to support her. They never had any other children and therefore Nora spent a lot of her time alone as a child. While her parents were out and about at galleries or in their studios she would stay at home and read books on the human body. By the time she was in high school she knew exactly what she wanted to do, become a doctor of sorts. Her parents had split by that point, but it wasn't something of a surprise to Nora. After finding a pair of mysterious panties in her father's car Eleanor counted down the days. It was wrong what she father did, but she couldn't blame him. Her mother was always nitpicking and he was far too wild for a family anyway. Nora didn't realize this until years after their split, but her family is on good terms now.
Nora did her undergraduate work in Portland. She had no permeant home there, but stayed with her great aunt Maude for her sophomore and junior year. Senior year she moved with her boyfriend. Probably one of her biggest mistakes, considering that they broke up just months after the move. It was hell living with a raging ex who brought home every girl he could find, but Nora managed it. After that she moved to Forest Grove to start her Masters at PU. Living in Forest Grove through the summer helped her to navigate the town, but she's still pretty lost as far as having a solid friend group.
