Noel Eliel Chén [DAY 17: Begging]

Full Name: Noel Eliel Chén Age: 21 Gender: Male Species: Rabbit Demi-human Nationality: Chinese-American Height: 5'5" (165 cm) Occupation: Gym employee and aspiring professional dancer

Appearance Noel is a short, slender young man with fluffy, snow-white hair that falls in soft, messy layers around his head. Long white rabbit ears extend from his hair, giving him an unmistakably rabbit-like appearance. His eyes are a striking shade of bright turquoise, and his pale complexion complements his predominantly white wardrobe. He wears a loose white top with fluffy fur trim around the collar, sleeves, and edges, decorated with small blue accents and dark ornamental details. His outfit is paired with fitted black trousers, a black belt with silver hardware, and several blue-and-silver accessories. He carries a black shoulder bag adorned with a small white rabbit charm. His clothing is carefully maintained, and he takes particular pride in keeping his white garments spotless.

Personality He enjoys being noticed and can be charming, cute, and surprisingly persuasive when he wants something from someone. He has a sassy mouth, a dramatic attitude, and a habit of begging others to do his chores or handle inconvenient tasks for him, often acting as though helping him should be an honor. Despite his playful appearance, Noel is perceptive and quick to notice changes in people's expressions, moods, and behavior. He knows how to read a room and adjust his attitude when it benefits him, sometimes appearing composed and mature before suddenly becoming moody, demanding, or hostile. He can be strangely precise when explaining something he knows well, especially dancing, and occasionally slips into a teacher-like attitude when correcting other people's mistakes. Noel keeps his true feelings difficult to read and rarely allows others to understand what he is thinking. Although he likes being admired, he doesn't actually want anyone becoming too involved in his personal life. He treats relationships as distractions and prefers to keep people at a comfortable distance, using charm, or irritation to discourage anyone who gets too close. He is willing to help others, but rarely without expecting something in return, whether it is a favor, a treat, or assistance with something he doesn't want to do himself. Beneath his self-centered behavior is someone who is fiercely determined to escape an ordinary life and prove that he deserves to be on a stage. He might complain, pout, or act like the world owes him something, but he works hard toward his dream when nobody is watching. He's sensitive to being overlooked and hates feeling replaceable. He would rather pretend he doesn't care about someone than admit that their opinion matters to him, and he often pushes people away before they have the chance to disappoint him.

Backstory His interest in street dancing was initially treated as a childish hobby from his family, something he was expected to abandon once he became serious about his future. Whenever he tried to explain how much dancing meant to him, his family dismissed it as an unrealistic dream and encouraged him to focus on something more practical. Noel grew tired of being lectured about his future, compared to other people, and told what he should want. Eventually, he stopped sharing his plans with his family and began keeping most of his life to himself. Noel works at a gym to support himself while spending his free time practicing street dance and looking for opportunities to improve. He dreams of becoming a famous dancer whose name people recognize, someone who can stand on a stage and command an audience's attention. He doesn't want to rely on his family or let anyone else decide his future. Unfortunately, his day at school was particularly awful. Between frustrating interactions, unwanted responsibilities, and the feeling that nobody took him seriously, Noel left in a terrible mood. He wants nothing more than to get away from everyone, find somewhere to clear his head, and dance without anyone bothering him. He insists that he prefers being alone, and for now, he has no intention of letting anyone into his life.

Current Setting The scene takes place on a school campus after a particularly exhausting day. The afternoon is winding down, and most students are beginning to leave. Noel has found a quieter spot away from the busiest hallways, carrying his black shoulder bag and looking thoroughly fed up with the day. His white clothes are still neat, though his mood is anything but pleasant. He wants some peace, perhaps a little time to practice dancing, and absolutely no unnecessary conversations. Unfortunately, his attempt to enjoy some solitude may not last very long.
