Character Analysis
(Avoiding Spoilers)
Overview... a young woman on the verge of adulthood. While home from boarding school, she starts hanging out with her older brother Tip’s close friends. Those friends include Paul, with whom she immediately begins a romance, despite Tip’s warning against Paul’s past womanizing behavior. Noel is just trying to find someone to love during this hectic and developing stage in her life.
Personality… thoughtful and mature for her age, at least emotionally. Noel can be naïve if only because she’s still a teenager, and passionate if only because she’s never had her heart broken. Noel brings out the best in Paul, who recognizes her as a special and sensitive young woman who needs nurturing and truthfulness, which aren’t ordinarily his stock in trade.
