38: What recharges them when they’re feeling drained?
Oddly enough, running helps center and sometimes even energize Noelle. It’s her excuse to just turn everything off and not think for a while. For someone with crippling anxiety and constant weight on their shoulders, sometimes, those few couple of minutes are more than enough to bring her up to speed, and back to her ‘normal’ self.
35: What activities do they enjoy, but consider to be a waste of time?
Noelle wouldn’t ever really admit it, but she would have loved to take up some kind of art or design class, because it seemed like an incredibly relaxing and fun experience. That being said, her being so self-conscious and insecure in her abilities, she thinks it would be a waste of time for her to even consider it.
19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night?
It honestly changes from night to night. Sometimes, Noelle will just lie in bed and stress about all the things she has to do, and in some ways that’s easier on her than the alternative of thinking about her family, and her dog, and her old horse, Rusty. If she had to choose between the two, she’d much rather just fall asleep without thinking about anything.
Even without the abundance of makeup that Elswood has to offer, Noelle was never really one for it. Her favorite items to use would probably be her mascara and lip balm, since her mom always told her she was blessed to have the complexion and freckles that she has, so she never really felt the need to try and improve it, or attempt to cover it. Nonetheless, Noelle occasionally does indulge and whip on some eyeliner, or sparkly shadow, or a pop of pink across her lips.
