Personality>>
[sociable] Noah is a friendly person. She enjoys talking to and getting to know new people. She can be a bit of a flirt, but unless she really likes a person, flirting's as far as she's going to go. Well, she can be convinced to share a kiss or two occasionally… but for the most part, that's as far as she's willing to go unless she's sure of her feelings and of the feelings of her date. She likes to have a small group of close friends as her 'best friends' and a larger group of people she knows well. Most of her best friends in the past, though, have been guys.
[fun] She's a fun person who likes to explore and doesn't like to follow 'the beaten path'. She's not a risk-taker by any means, not unless she's dared, but she enjoys exploring. She's also fun to just hang out with, as she's usually really easygoing and willing to do whatever her friends want to do, within reason.
[tomboy] Noah is a definite tomboy. There's nothing girly about this chick besides the fact that she's a girl. She's more than willing to get down and rough-house with the guys ad she loves mud-riding and has been known to be a star player in mud-wrestling, arm-wrestling, and playing practical jokes (though she claims that it's not her fault she never wins at arm wrestling, it's her brothers faults for being so much stronger than her).
[competitive] She has a competitive streak a mile wide, or so it seems at times. Noah is always ready for a competition, whether informal or formal. If it's suggested to her, she's willing, even if she's never done whatever the task is before. She's always willing to try new things, especially if it's suggested that she's not 'good enough'. Her motto is 'I can do anything you can do'.

Appearance>>
[hair] Noah's hair is long and a medium-to-dark brown in color. Her hair is surprisingly thick, but relaxed and falls in very loose waves down her back. She has bangs that are usually styled to fall away and frame her face, though if left alone her bangs will fall directly in her eyes, giving her a 'sheepdog' look.
[eyes] Her eyes are a captivating shade of green. Noah's eyes are usually lined with black waterproof eyeliner and she likes to wear darker tones of eyeshadow to set off what she considers her best feature.
[complexion] Noah has a naturally darker skin tone due to her Native American and Spanish background. She's three-fourths Cherokee Indian and one-fourth Hispanic. She's never had a problem with break-outs or blemishes, even though she loves chocolate and junk food.
[height] She's of a shorter stature, standing at a petite five foot three inches (which is a great deal shorter than her three brother's heights). She's petite in build, smaller boned but not absolutely tiny, thank goodness. Noah has never had much of a problem with her height and enjoys being shorter, as she can duck away from people when wrestling and rough-housing more easily than she could if she were taller.
[style] Noah's style is just country. She's a country-born and country-bred girl who doesn't see the point of unnecessary jewelry or short sundresses unless she's trying to impress someone, though, her opinion is that if a guy can't like her for her country-style, then he isn't worth her time or attention. She wears stud or hoop earrings when she remembers to put them in, which isn't often. Most of the time she can be found in jeans with either rips or holes in them or dirt stains and mud streaked across them. She does like the low-rise jeans, though, and she usually wears some sort of tank top under a t-shirt or button-down shirt, or long-sleeved turtleneck shirt, depending on the weather. Noah prefers cowboy boots, as that's just about all she's ever worn her entire life, and during winter she likes to wear thick, insulated army coats or insulated coveralls.

Full History>>
(the early years) Noah was born in Australia, but moved overseas to Texas at the age of four with her parents (Cole and Annette) and three older brothers (Cody, Max, and Nick). Nick is two years older than her, Max is five years older than her, and Cody is seven years older than her. A few months after the family had gotten settled in, a surprise came in the form of a foal; the mare that had been sold to the family along with the land they'd bought and several head of cattle had been pregnant! Noah, being the youngest and only girl, immediately took to the young horse and claimed him as hers.
(the middle years) Even though she was the youngest in the family, Noah never was left out by her older brothers. They always included her, and she often was out there with her siblings and father helping out where she could. She grew up a tomboy, though her mother wished differently. During her early schooling she often was in trouble for fighting at school and even got suspended once for breaking a boy's nose! Noah was never the daughter her mother wished for, though she never got into any major trouble.
(the teenage years) Noah never really got into boys as she hit her teenage years. Sure, she went on a few dates, but she never really found someone who she felt truly compatible with. She got bored easily when her possible partner's idea of a good time didn't coincide with hers and broke up with most guys she was with before the third date. She also never got into make-up and jewelry or the 'girly' clothes.
(the nickname) Her nickname 'Taffy' came from her older brothers. It started out as 'Tiffy' (a shortening of her middle name) but by the time she turned eight, she was called 'Taffy' by them more than they called her by her actual name (Noah). She essentially grew up being called Taffy by her siblings. Noah answers to both 'Taffy' and 'Noah'.
(the broken arm) When she was fourteen she fell out of the barn loft and broke her arm while helping her dad and brothers toss down square-bales of hay. It was, thankfully, a clean break and after being rushed to the ER, the bone was set and casted. For six weeks Noah wore a lime green cast covered with signatures and goofy sayings from her brothers.
[her brothers] Noah is the youngest of four children and she's the only girl… and her brothers are all older than herself. All her life she's been included in whatever they have done, so she's grown up tough (she's had to, as her brothers liked to rough-house and wrestle a lot, and even though they are all adults now, they still like to rough-house with each other). She's always been closest to her oldest brother, funnily enough, and she argues a lot with her youngest older brother, and she likes to tease her second-eldest brother, but at the end of the day they're all siblings and have each others backs.
[the possible future sister-in-law] She first met her oldest brothers girlfriend when Cody brought the girl home to supper several years ago. Noah and Karen have never gotten along. Karen is a city-girl and 'can't do anything' according to Noah, and Noah thinks that her brother could do a whole lot better. Karen thinks that Noah should be more into clothes, jewelry, and make-up and boys than acting like a 'wild tomboy'. They don't like each other because they have nothing in common, and a few months ago Noah got fed up with Karen trying to cajole her into going shopping instead of mud-riding with her brothers and actually cussed the woman out. Noah seriously hopes that Cody will break up with Karen, but knows in her heart that he won't and that she should try to get along with the woman a bit better.
(the horse) Noah took charge of Angus the day he was born, claiming him as her horse, though he really belonged to the entire family. According to her family, though, even though he was technically all of theirs, he was mostly Noah's, as she was the one who was more into horses and it was her who spent the most time with the gelding. Eventually, her family agreed that Angus belonged strictly to Noah.
(coming to BRRA) At fifteen, Noah mentioned offhandedly over supper that she was interested in possibly taking riding lessons or competing. She thought her parents had dismissed the topic, when in reality they hadn't. As a surprise Christmas gift later that year, they informed her that she was going to attend BRRA and her first semester would start in January! Though she is sure she'll miss her family, especially her brothers, Noah is very excited about attending Blue Ridge and taking Angus with her. Her parents have even promised her that if she finds a nice horse at an auction or sale, they might buy another one for her. Of course, Angus is her baby, though.
We found love in a hopeless place
