appearance description --
― hair Noel's hair is short, scruffy, and overall unkept. Reaching past the ends of his ears with disgraceful curls, the messy mop is course and nearly untamable. It has a light chestnut hue in color, typically which obscures the poor owner's demeanor. It is clean, despite the chaos, and is course and thin from all the attempted pokes and jabs that have been made upon the fortress of locks. Facial hair consists of a well kept beard, which encases much of Emmanuel's face.
― body Noel is a shorter, stouter man of five feet and five inches tall, weighing nearly one hundred and seventy five pounds. Consisting of hearty, chubby cheeks and somewhat of a round stomach, Noel adorns a surprising array of muscles at his arms and legs, and despite his form is rather strong and has experience with physical and more demanding work. Described as having more childish features, Noel's form tends to be bright and cheery, with comical dimples and deep set marks at his cheeks and lips.
― skin Noel's skin is a deep set tan color, sun-kissed by time and generously coating his flesh evenly. Wrinkles adorn the corners of his eyes and lips, as well as nearly invisible freckles that bundle at his cheeks. While nearly devoid of facial blemishes, hidden mainly by his scruff, burn marks decorate the man's wrists and arms, although he will merely wave them away as his "battle scars". A variety of scars decorate his ankles as well, but can be contributed to his clumsy behavior.
― clothing style Noel keeps himself very well kept in the case of clothing, generally adorning himself in well to do clothing in a wild variety of colors. Color coordination is the lost eleventh commandment, after all, and Noel keeps it a priority to look nice in and out of the home. Generally adorned in a bow tie or a bright pair of well to do suspenders, Noel likes to keep himself sharp in his style, but also rarely likes to stand out in the crowd he is in. Don't expect to find many decorative images splayed on his shirts. The one exception is on his purple kitchen apron that is happily adorned a little blue alien named Stitch. On occasion of the "I'm just not feelin it" days, he will contain the wild mane of hair with beanie hats(also in accordance with the sacred color commandments).
― physical disabilities Noel is not properly diagnosed for a physical ailment, however, his left hand has been weakened over time due to multiple and consecutive accidents that have occurred in blights of clumsiness and near ingenious executions of sweet and savory projects. It is still functional, but by no means is it as effective or as optimal as his right hand. This makes it difficult for him to write, as he was once left handed.

― Noel is an incredibly empathetic young man, one whose concern for others tends to overshadow his own. While he is not the most sociable, Noel finds it easy to connect to others who he is comfortable around and feels truly safe with. He is the man who will sit with a friend or loved one in times of need, one who will bake a batch of cookies without even being asked for, or will just offer one of his award winning embraces(the award was technically a paper plate award given to him by his sisters, but believe him, it counts.). Anxiety over one's well being is incredibly common for the young man, and he strives to make those around him happy and healthy. With this, Noel tends to feel others' sadness or rage as well, and can experience second hand sorrow or frustration in a given situation. While able to hide internal emotions well, it can cause turmoil and an overall external reaction over an extended period of time. Noel typically acts as others care taker, whether it had been approved or not.
― Noel in no means is a fool, however, you tell him a fact, true or not, and he will fully trust that what you say is God given truth. Noel is rather trusting of an individual he has let into his life, and believes that once he has allowed someone into the safety of his home, that he has no reason not to trust them. For this reason, sarcasm doesn't come across very well.Noel isn't trusting in particular, but with a human he had confirmed to be safe in a social aspect, he tends to let any walls that had been built up to crumble. He knows himself that it isn't the most healthy aspect of living, but an innocence still lingers in the back of the man's head, where he wishes to believe before he's required to confirm.
― Noel is surprisingly skittish and anxious when it comes to relatively new people. Much of this processing is internal more than external, including overthinking and a fear of a possible stumble. Noel has been known to stammer in the presence of new individuals, and has even been known to forget entire conversations with other people mere moments after, the words having flooded from the overcrowding in his head. It takes time for Noel to be more comfortable around an individual, but he grows to be more eloquent when given the time of day(and quite a chatter box. Sometimes he even forgets to breathe then). Noel has also been known to overthink, barely able to move on with a plan if he fears he can not complete it to succession. When focused, Noel is much more calmed and dedicated, but if you were to place him in a group of energetic strangers, you'd most likely find him petting the nearby cat.

mental disabilities Once again, Noel has not been diagnosed, but he is certain he has a mild level of clinical anxiety. He refuses to confirm such a diagnosis, and tends to handle the occasional tremors and stammers with meditative practices, including cooking, gardening, knitting and cross stitching. He is also partially convinced he has a mild case of ADHD, requiring certain items to be paired by color, number, or size. He can get rather picky with certain organizations, despite being disorganized in other manners.
head canons
― Sloth
― "Will Work for Dough"
― "Sometimes life gives you lemons, so make a cake, coat it in sugar, and devour it with gusto."
― "I may trip, and stumble, and fumble, but at least I can reach a high c note while doing so. Not many people can really say that. "
― Ha! Who needs artistic ability or smarts when you can win over people with food and coffee??
― "I've been everywhere and seen every sort of person, and I gotta say, each and everyone of them scare me in new and different ways."
― He cannot hold a tune for the life of him, but miraculously can play the harmonica with the best of them.
― With two little twin sisters, Noel is a busy patriarch in his household. He's learned how to do a variety of hair styles, make up and nails over the years. In fact, his nails tend to be painted different colors(but they are required to fall under the commandment of coordination.).
― Noel is bizarrely religious for his witchcraft practices. However, it keeps it on the down-low, halfheartedly ashamed for such practices. He also has interest in the occult and all things bizarre, but that's more of a Friday afternoon pick-me-up with the devil twins.
― Favorite dish to prepare are lemon bars
― Has sworn never to curse, as due to a bet he has been winning for the last year and a half.
