(Jamie Chung, CisFemale, she/her) ⌇ have you seen Noelle Park around icaria? they are the 28 year old child of Zeus. they remind me of animal print scrubs, Polaroid cameras, and Buddha meditation beads. ( Lex / 29 / EST / she/her )
I’m a nomad and happy being alone
Full Name: Noelle Elise Park
Age: Twenty-Eight
Birthday: January 11th
Parents: Min-Jee and Jacob Park
Godly Ability - Her powers deal with lightening. On typical days she can control and conjure small amounts of electricity and wield it as she pleases, but when a storm passes her abilities are much stronger.
I had no interest in being the daughter you wanted
Min-Jee was a spirited woman when she was young. It was her free spirit, beauty, and love for nature that caught the eye of Zeus. They were together for a little over a year traveling the world, feasting on different foods, and just living life with what they had. All seemed to be paradise until Min-Jee announced she was pregnant. Apparently Zeus had no interest in raising a child, and fled shortly after the news was announced. Broken hearted and quickly running out of options, Min-Jee returned home to North Korea to face the wrath of her family. They’d warned her about running off with someone outside of their customs, but their daughter didn’t want the safe option. The safe option was Jacob Park who was a North Korean American boy living in the states that Min-Jee’s father had met through business. He was infatuated with Min-Jee and wanted her to move to Hawaii to live with him.
Since a pregnancy didn’t deter him and Min-Jee was done with adventures, she agreed to beginning a life with Jacob. They were wealthy due to Jacob’s business connections in hospitality on the island, and Noelle was sent to the best schools from the moment she was in preschool. Everything had turned around for Min-Jee except for the fact that her daughter held much of the same spirit she had when she ran away with the girl’s birth father. Noelle had no interest in people pleasing, networking, following orders, or even a path for that matter. Her mood was much like the weather. Like lightening, she rarely wanted to touch the same place twice, so the girl was always moving. As soon as she was old enough, she was out exploring Hawaii as much as she could. There were many times local authorities had been called because she hadn’t returned at sun down, and she was found laying on a tree branch or meditating on a hillside. No matter how many restrictions were placed on her, Noelle found a way around them.
It wasn’t until she was older that she understood why she seemed to accidentally shock people so often, or why her moods changed so much with the coming rain. Her parents were as normal as could be, so her having any sort of special abilities didn’t make sense. Since she hadn’t been stung by a radioactive jellyfish while surfing, she decided the only thing she could do was snoop. Whenever left alone, she’d rifle through her parents’ things to try and get an explanation. It wasn’t until she looked through a well hidden, wore down shoebox that she got her answers. In a letter that obviously never reached it’s destination she read that Jacob wasn’t her father, but instead she was a daughter of Zeus. Feeling lied to and betrayed, Noelle began to distance herself more than ever. She focused on school, so she could get into veterinary school to make enough money for herself. If her own family couldn’t be honest with her, then she’d make sure that she was self efficient.
During college, she travelled abroad, made as few connections as possible, and lived life as well as she could. Her parents made their lack of support clear, but it didn’t matter. Noelle’s grades were so great she didn’t need their money, and therefore had little reason to go back home. It wasn’t until she missed the tropics that she began searching for a home she could love almost as much as Hawaii.
That was what led her to accepting a job offer in Icaria. It would be the first time she laid roots anywhere, but Greece had many islands she could explore. Fear of being tied down didn’t set in just yet.
The only person I can count on is me.
Noelle’s parents wanted her to become a business mogul and take on the business after her father. She had and never will have any interest in following a path someone else tries to set for her.
Physical affection or touching is not her thing. Her home growing up wasn’t exactly affectionate, so she doesn’t understand the need for such a thing. If she loves someone enough, she’ll accept hugs, but she hasn’t met anyone that makes her want to show her love to others.
She hates polite conversation. She can do it, but she doesn’t understand why she has to. Other people don’t care really about how she is, they only ask because it’s the social expectation, and she definitely doesn’t care most of the time.
Her birth father is a sore subject. She knows he didn’t want her and dipped right after learning she was going to be born. Her temper and stubborn nature is a lot like him though.
She loves animals more than people. Seriously, she’ll say this to anyone’s face.
Meditation is what has helped her gain control of her powers.
If people care enough to break through her icy exterior, she can be funny, loyal, smart, and ruthless in protecting those she loves. It’s just a process getting there.
Likes: meditation, traveling, yoga, dresses with pockets, animals, and new scrubs.
Dislikes: Filler conversation, touching, liars, and messes.
Noelle might be shy and hesitant, but she almost never tries to be someone or something that she is not. She is genuine in her optimism about others, in her friendships, and in her feelings. Although she may say it quietly and attempt to avoid offense, she is open about the truth and her thoughts with others. She was taught that being herself and accepting her emotions are the keys to a full life, and believes it wholeheartedly.
Located just outside of Chicago, Noelle grew up in a suburban three bedroom rambler with her parents and six siblings. Though it was cramped at times, they each found their own space within it around and with each other.
