Noah Stewart

## Aesthetic

**Noah Francis Stewart** is a student at Silver Oak Academy.

## Personality

If you asked people to describe Noah in one phrase, most people would say that he was a social butterfly, and that would partially be true. Noah isn't an extrovert, but actually, an ambivert, which basically means that he has a balance of extrovert and introvert features in his personality. For example, he loves to be outside in crowds, whether it's at some party or a pride parade, but at the same time, Noah appreciates his alone time where he can be left on his own with just his thoughts and usually a good book.

Coming from Maine, a state known for its mountains and landscapes, Noah is a big fan of anything nature-related, whether it is hiking, rock climbing, spelunking, camping, or even going for a dip in most lakes or rivers (if they are clean enough).

Noah's whole family being very outgoing, he is no exception. However, this is fairly obvious as Noah participates is so many of the offered extracurricular activities that he can barely be found in his own dorm room. Volunteering, track and field, hiking club, chess club, charity club, photography club, mathletes, the GSA, and even baking club are just some of the after-school activities Noah is in. His motto is carpe diem, which means seize the day, and seeing his parents paid for him being at the school meant he was going to use every opportunity he was granted.

## Relationships

Noah can't exactly be described as popular, but can definitely be described as a person who has many friends. Because of his charisma, he makes friends easily, and because of his empathy, he keeps the friends he makes, letting them know that he does genuinely care about them, even if their friendship is only based on stupid jokes, puns or even judging other people.

### With Shawn, Sawyer, and Jackie

Coming out of the closet in middle school was pretty difficult for Noah, seeing that not everybody was as brave as him, and that meant that he didn't have a lot of people he could've related to. It wasn't that he didn't have friends, he did, but they weren't really open to talking about Noah being gay or any kind of topic which would insinuate that, which made Noah go into his shell a little bit. This made it all-the-more exciting for Noah when he had met Shawn Orozco, who was a gay icon. It was obvious that the two clicked immediately, and Noah was practically pulled out of his shell by Shawn.

Not long after Noah's interaction with Shawn, Noah had realized that to get to the town closest to the campus, students needed to hop a train, so because he wanted to be adventurous, Noah did exactly that. Little did he know that Sawyer Andrews was already inside the train car he had boarded. The two's adventurous spirits had immediately bonded them, and the two had been very good friends ever since, constantly sending memes to each other or just casually talking about a random topic.

Frequently, almost regularly hanging out in Sawyer's dorm room, her roommate Jackie Dupont also became a close friend of Noah's, the three now becoming a solid trio. Noah, realizing Shawn was exactly what the trio needed to spice their routine a little bit, decided to introduce him to the girls, and in the matter of a week, the solid trio became a solid quartet, now with a little bit of spice.

### With Harper, Chase, and Zachary

The friendship in this group began for Noah on a seemingly random Saturday when he had been helping a few of his fellow Animal Lovers Club members. He had been sweeping the stables when he noticed a girl interacting with a horse. This girl was Harper Anderson, and because she and Noah shared many similar interests, a couple of cracked jokes were all that was needed to start a beautiful friendship between the two.

Soon enough, Noah became a person Harper told stuff to, which was how he found out about Harper being interested in a certain senior, and Noah just had to meet him to make sure he wouldn't break Harper's poor little heart. Luckily, the senior, Chase Vaughn, turned out to be a very nice individual, and Noah was certain Harper and him would be a perfect couple.

This little group of three soon became a group of four seeing Noah was tired of third wheeling, and no, this didn't mean that Noah finally found a boyfriend, but that Chase's friend Zachary Lee, had become a part of the trio, making it a quartet. When Harper and Chase were off doing whatever it is that couple did when they were on a date, Noah and Zachary were left alone, which helped their friendship blossom.
