Noa Nakajima

"Well, one of us needs to be the responsible one."The oldest member and leader of NijiAM. He seems aloof and somewhat stoic, but is trying to be a good, reliable older brother figure.PersonalityAt first glance, Noa seems very aloof and detached, but once you get to know him, you realize he's a caring and loyal person, he just doesn't show it on his face. He is especially protective over his juniors in NijiAM, who see him as an older brother figure, so he tries his best to be them to them.The role of leader was unanimously given to him, due to his level-headedness and experience. It's also the position he feels the safest in, because Noa has a need to always be in control, or else something might go wrong.His social and physical battery is easily drained and needs a lot more time to refill than average. He often goes through daily life on "power saving mode", but even spending time with friends, which he enjoys, can be really draining. Due to this, he's prone to either falling asleep on the spot when he's comfortable around his company, or he'll push past his limits and overwork himself.BackgroundNoa is an only child that lives with his single father, who has sole custody over him. His mother had developed severe and debilitating psychiatric illnesses that made it impossible for her to care for a child, going in and out of inpatient treatment ever since he was eight years old. He frequently visits her, but she is not part of Noa's everyday life.His father tries his best to be a good single dad, but doesn't have a lot of time to spend with his son due to long work hours. He tries to make up for it by material means, by showering Noa in gifts.Having no other family members, Noa was normally alone at home unless he had friends over, so he passed the time alone with things his father gave him, such as video games or playing the drums.Trivia- Noa is half-Dutch and half-Japanese, being Dutch on his mother's side. Despite his mother not being in his life, he still occasionally visits his maternal grandparents in the Netherlands with his family and can speak the language somewhat well.- Etymology:
---- Nakajima (中島): Naka (中) means "in, inside, middle, center", Jima (島): "island"
---- Noa (ノア): has no set meaning as it is written in Katakana, however most common kanji readings of the name mean "love". In the west, the name Noah can mean "rest, repose", originating in Hebrew.
---- His name can be romanized as either Noa or Noah, the first being common in Japan and the latter used more in the west. For the sake of convinience, he goes by Noa normally, but uses Noah when overseas.
