history
Nora grew up in an average-sized sub-urb by an average-sized city, in an average apartment with average parents and an average sibling and an average pet and attended an average school. It was quite very average, and she found it all quite very boring. It's amazing she's so fun and fabulous, considering how dull her life has been. She's just that amazing, she knows.
Nora never intended to come to Sepalum Peninsula. She graduated high school, high in some subjects, low in others, average in none, and enrolled into college, where she hoped to figure something out, and looked forward to a change in scene and something more upbeat, lively, and - dare she hope it - fun.
Then her mother got cancer, and her college funds were necessary to pay for her treatments. Nora's sister, being a top-A student, got a full scholarship, so she could continue her college education, so not even some quality sisterly bonding time could come out of this disaster. So that left Nora and her father to take care of her mother and pay the bills, respectively. Three years later, her mother finally goes into remission longer than half a year, but in a cruel twist of fate, dies of pneumonia instead. Nora's sister had just come home from graduation, her father had just gotten promoted, and Nora had just been fired from her third job. The family's devastated, a bit of counseling for dad, a big job for sis, and Nora is still deadened and bored of the monotony and dullness of life on top of mourning for her mother. It was assumed she'd heal emotionally eventually, though, like her father and sister eventually did.
Nora didn't. She just became a bit more snarky, a lot more self-involved, and less willing to do anything unless it interested her. Which soon became not a lot. Here and there, she tried to spice things up, without much success. Her father became increasingly concerned, and med student sis insisted Nora get checked out by a therapist. Nora declined, partly because it's not fair her sis got to go to college (even if Nora's grades were her own fault), and partly because she just didn't want to. Since Nora was uncooperative, her sister tried instead to trick her. This ended up in a very interesting network of mind games between the two.
When Nora suddenly dyed her hair pink, her sister called the game off, contacted mother's sister out on the peninsula, convinced her dad that Nora was in desperate need for some change - therapy or a change in scene - before she hurt herself or did something stupid.
Long story short, the family teamed on Nora, Nora declined she was troubled, family pressed harder, Nora tried to use the "I'm legal you're not the boss" card, family gave her ultimatum, Nora ended up here with her aunt who got her a job at so-and-so's such-and-such (aka, the library), where Nora is a half-arsed worker and really doesn't care.
Nora doesn't see how moving to this sleepy little town is supposed to make her "cheer up" or "lift her spirits" or anything. If anything, it's more boring than the town she came from. As far as she can see, anyway. Oh, so boring...

etc.
- Nora firmly believes that she is hilarious and everyone ought to love her. Anyone who disagrees with her is obviously wrong. And most likely stupid.
- She's come to terms with the fact that a lot of people are stupid in this world, bless their poor dumb hearts.
- Nora doesn't see rules and regulations as required, per se. They're more like guidelines than anything.
- Chances are, she really doesn't care how you feel. If she does, then don't come to her for advice, because she gives really crappy pointers and doesn't do emotional stuff too well. Go to other people who are good at that.
- If she doesn't want to do something, chances are, it won't get done. If it has to get done, then she'll wait and do it the last minute. It probably won't turn out that great, but she doesn't really care. If she did, she'd've done it sooner. Obviously.
- Sure, she may be a pretentious jerk, but at least she knows it. Unlike some people.
- For a time there, Nora smoked. Then her sister basically forced her to stop, and told her aunt all about it, so naturally, now it's impossible for Nora to get away with anything, a fact she desperately hates. She's trying to find some other relaxing/coping mechanism, but until then, she's stuck with an overbearing aunt, over-concerned sister, and nicotine patches. Ugh.
- Same thing with the pink hair. Nora's sister decided "no freaking way" and nagged Nora into bleaching it back to its normal colour. What a pain.
