❛ ⋆ β€€Λ™βœ° eleanora β€œnora” amelie nguyen is graduating in a month with plans to attend stanford university in pursuit of law. four years complete and she’s leaving the hamptons being remembered as the zealous, which makes perfect sense considering how fervent, candid, recalcitrant, and impetuous she is. that title landed them the senior class superlative of most likely to lead a protest. you’ll know they’re around when you hear love it if we made it - the 1975 coming from a car this summer. Β speaking of summer, i hear their plans are to spend it promoting local causes and traveling as much as she can. glowing embers after a bonfire, shattered glass sparkling in the sunlight, lightning in a summer thunderstorm, bruised knuckles worn proudly.

biography
nora was born to laura and zachary nguyen, and would later become the eldest of three. her father worked as a chemical engineer and her mother worked as an elementary school art teacher. although her father wasn’t around often, she grew close with her mother early on. nora quickly took after caring for her two younger siblings, a brother and a sister, whenever her parents were busy (or arguing, but nora tried to tune it out). she took her life for granted as she grew up in the hamptons.
when she was in fifth grade, at about 11 years old, her father was caught in an affair and so her mother called for a divorce. while her mother got custody of the children, nora still had to travel with her siblings to stay at her father’s for weekends. her mother moved away from the hamptons while her father kept the house. it was an exhausting life that nora had to keep up, especially when she didn’t want to be around her father.
her mother’s residence was only a small apartment just barely big enough for the four of them. all the siblings had to share a bedroom and the dining room was nothing like at her father’s. and while nora had initially complained, she grew accustomed. she helped her mother with all the chores she could while her mom had to find a second job to keep the family financially stable - after all, it was her dad who had supported a majority of their life in the hamptons.
meanwhile at school, it was difficult for her to focus on school while taking care of her siblings and the weekly travels to her father’s house. in middle school, she skipped field trips to save money for her mom and would give up her lunches to her siblings. she fell into art and reading as a means of coping. her mother began to drink more heavily as the years went by and the family would manage to scrape by. her father, of course, β€œcouldn’t” lend them money to help with the rent or any of the bills, which only infuriated nora.
freshman year of high school, her mother succumbed to a heart disease. despite everything the doctors tried, the medical bills were too costly and her mother later passed away several months later. nora, furious with the system, her own financial troubles, and the grief of losing her mother, was spurred into a diligence and fervent caretaking of her siblings as she had to move in with her father.
nora became involved in mock trial, debate, and newspaper in high school, a way of channeling her emotions into what she found she could do best – voice her opinion. wanting to make her mother proud and perhaps prove her strict father wrong, she refocused her goals into not only becoming a lawyer and helping others, but participating in numerous activist causes.
she also found an outlet in the art that she loved to create – particularly, she loved revisiting her old neighborhood where her mother’s place was and painting street art onto the walls, a different channel of emotions that you wouldn’t expect from someone who’s voice may be raw from arguing all day. but art calmed the fire in her veins in a way that nothing else could, and it makes her feel closer to her mother. she loves the rawness of brick walls and the in-the-moment paintings that graffiti can be.
which leads to where she stands today – accepted at stanford in pursuit of law and ready to face the world. although she still despises her father and now stepmother, she has moved back into the hamptons with a different mindset. she’s determined to help the community she grew up knowing, even if it was outside the luxury of the neighborhood she currently resides in.
personality
fervent: she is passionate about what she does. she puts her entire heart into everything she can and it’s either 100% or 0%, no in between. she fights for what she believes is right and isn’t afraid to stand up for anyone.
candid: she isn’t afraid to be honest, whether it’s stating that she thinks you’re wrong or otherwise. she cuts straight to the point and hates dancing around most subjects.
spontaneous: she doesn’t like careful planning. she’s much more intuitive and likes to decide on things in the moment. she’ll pull you along into 3am adventures or suddenly decide to join the protest that happens to be tomorrow. she jumps into things heart first and oftentimes ignores what her rational side says.
obstinate: she can’t back down from an argument and refuses to give up her ideals or admit that someone else is right.
assertive: she’s not afraid of public speaking or going straight up to someone to tell them that something is wrong. she’s bold and confident. she masks her insecurities well with a faux fearlessness. even if she’s afraid, she shows a brave face.
impetuous: her impulses often get her into trouble. whether it’s accidentally arguing with a stranger in public or suddenly feeling as though she needs to take a walk, or perhaps get a gift for her siblings at 12am because they were feeling down that night, she acts on what she feels.
ambitious: she doesn’t have any sort of small dreams for herself – she knows that she has the potential to be bright and have a future, and she intends to take full advantage of it. she is determined to make a name for herself.
diligent: she’s always been a hard worker, and especially now in school since her mother’s passing. she puts her 110% in to everything she can.
dogmatic: she thinks she’s always right and it’s difficult to prove that she’s wrong. she’s often overly confident in her opinion and it can often lead to little things such as being a backseat driver.
