-Basics-Face Claim: Paulina Singer
Name: Noemie Jeanette Laurant
Age: 26
Gender: F
Species: Witch
Height: 5'6
Fashion: Artsy, leaning bohemian with lots of big earrings, bangles, and tunic style tops. She prefers skinny jeans or leggings as pants because they don't get in the way. She's used to wearing tank-tops and sandals year 'round in Louisiana, so she's in for a shock with the cold weather 'up north.' She'll be layering and bundling a LOT this fall and winter.
Physical Description: Noemie is a pretty young woman with a shock of wild curls, eyes so dark they are almost black, and a warm brown complexion. She blames her daddy for the fact she doesn't look like the spitting image of her mother, but the two of them are obviously related if you look at them together. It's more than just their faces, it's something in their energy.
-Personality-Description: Noemie is extremely friendly and outgoing, constantly looking to meet and connect with people. She's been feeling lonely ever since the move from Louisiana, so she is trying to fill with quantity if she can't get that family quality. She loves making pretty things; her art relaxes her.
Habits/Hobbies: making jewelry and charms, cooking, drawing/sketching/painting
-Background-History:
Noemie grew up in a close-knit coven of Cajun witches in New Orleans. Magic is in the lifeblood of the city, and she still feels the city in her own blood. She was a well-known member of the coven thanks to her family, but also to her passion for magic and being involved in the community. Her family is everything to her. She would do anything for them, even if it meant sacrificing herself.
She was rocked to the core by the realization that so much of her family and her life had been lost to the enemy. Her life could have been completely different, filled with so many experiences and people she never had the chance to know. So when her mother decided that revenge was the correct course of action, 21-year-old Noemie was all in. She convinced her mother to let her help. While her mother was the one to make the largest sacrifice, Noemie too was part of the spell work. Her magic and her aura will be forever tainted by the evil she committed in the name of revenge.
The family was forced to move to Xander's Cross then, and Noemie was devastated. She lost more than just her home--she lost her sense of self. Her whole identity had been tied up in the coven: her friends and family all in one. Being in Xander's Cross, where she didn't have that same community, she wound up feeling empty. It took her some time to get to know the family members who had been apart from them for so long, but she's become more comfortable here. She sells art and gris-gris charms out of the small gift shop area of her mother's restaurant and works as a waitress there.

Secret: Noemie helped her mother with the dark magic needed to kill every person involved in the plan that killed her Aunt. She regrets it, although she'd never admit that to her mother. While at the time she was determined to make things even, to right the balance, she now worries that she is just as bad as them.
