BADOUR, NOÉMI

○ Originally from Paris, Noémi's mother was interning as a nurse, her father a rebellious boy in his early teens who ended up on her gurney after a motorcycle accident. It was love at first IV injection.

○ Noémi was born to her young parents, who tried their hardest to take care of her, but were not ready for a child. She was raised by her mother's parents for most of her life, although she always stayed friendly with her biological parents. Child rearing wasn't for them, and while Noémi was bitter through her early teen years, as she matured she saw the situation for what it really was and held no ill will towards them. They had made the best decision under the circumstances, and her grandparents had probably raised her much better than her parents ever could.

○ And although she was level-headed does not mean she was without her flaws, or her father's hot blood. When Noémi was seventeen she had an affair with her homeroom teacher, mostly to prove she could. He was only twenty-three, with that taboo availability all young, attractive teachers had. After hearing her friends swoon over him for the better half of a year, Noémi decided on a conquest. It was slow goings of course, given her personality, but she did achieve what she wanted with more ambition and passion than any of her friends could have. Or so she liked to think.

○ The ordeal ended with both her and the teacher being transferred in opposite directions. Noémi finished her final year of schooling on Nova Athenis, living independently of her grandparents (who were understandably ashamed) and moved into a modest apartment after she got her job at a travel agency. As far as she knew, the teacher had gone off to the other border of France, probably - she didn't really know or care, in all honestly.

○ A better word for her work ethic might be lazy, but don't be fooled - Noémi finishes everything she starts, and puts as much effort as she possibly can in it. Everything she does is done to a holy standard. The only thing is, well... she takes her sweet time getting from Point A to Point B. For the impatient, this is probably her biggest fault.
