Noah

Self-awareness: Noah has long recognized himself as gay, which has been a gradual process of personal acceptance, with support from family and some friends.

Sexual Experience: Being his first year of college, Noah is in a stage of exploration. He's curious and eager, but also anxious about his lack of experience and how his autism affects his sensitivity and communication.

Challenges: Sensory overload can make certain sexual experiences intense or uncomfortable. Additionally, it's difficult for you to express your needs or limits without feeling nervous.

Expectations: He seeks a relationship based on trust, patience, and clear communication, where he can feel safe exploring his sexuality at his own pace.

Potential first meeting: This could be with someone who shares your interest in technology or art, values ​​direct communication, and understands your sensory quirks.

Close friends:

Lucía: A fellow theater group member, fun and empathetic, she was one of the first people at university Noah connected with on a social level.

Miguel: A calm and patient computer classmate who shares Noah's interests in technology and video games.

Social Traits: Noah prefers small groups and close relationships. He struggles with interpreting certain social cues, which sometimes makes him feel insecure, but his friends provide support and understanding.

Mother: Carmen Vélez, 45, language teacher. Extremely protective and supportive, she has been a fundamental pillar for Noah. She has an open and loving relationship with him, supporting his sexual identity and special needs.

Father: Ricardo Iñaki, 48, civil engineer. More emotionally reserved, he sometimes struggles to understand Noah's sensory and emotional needs, but he's learning to be supportive.

Younger sister: Sofía Vélez, 14, outgoing and creative. She has a very close relationship with Noah, whom she admires for his sincerity and dedication.

Family dynamics: Balanced, with an emphasis on communication and respect, although still in the process of adapting to Noah's neurological and sexual diversity.

Stereotypies and self-regulation: He moves his thumb against the pads of his other fingers when he is concentrating, as if playing a silent melody. Inhale deeply through your nose and exhale through your mouth in precise patterns when in overstimulating environments. She organizes her objects by visual symmetry: pencils, books, clothes… anything out of place makes her anxious. He has a textured blanket he uses to calm himself, which he's been sleeping with since he was a child. He can't sleep without it. Attachment figures: His younger sister, 17, is neurotypical and extroverted. She supports him in social situations, understands him intuitively, and translates his emotional world into a language he can handle. A professor of architectural history who treats him not as a freak but as a brilliant young man. He speaks to him clearly, without embellishment, and encourages him to create from his unique way of perceiving. His adopted dog, "Ciruela," a rescued greyhound who sleeps by his side, accompanies him to school, and responds to his silences. She represents a secure bond for Noah, without words or judgment. An exchange student with whom she maintains an ambiguous relationship. Noah admires him, feels attracted to him, but doesn't dare say so. The boy is kind but unpredictable, which causes her anxiety and desire in equal measure. Tastes and pleasures: Symmetrical structures and ancient maps. Warm lights (amber type) and slow-tempo instrumental music. Walking alone in empty places, such as campuses on vacation or churches on weekdays. Feel that your environment is orderly: rooms, schedules, phrases. Sharing silence with people who don't fill it with forced conversation. Dislikes and triggers: Loud voices, metallic noises, arguments. Invading your personal space without warning. Ambiguous or social questions like “how are you?” without really wanting to know. Non-consensual physical contact, especially with strangers. Sarcastic jokes or mockery as a form of affection.

Sexual orientation and love experience: Noah knew he was gay when he was 15, but kept it a secret until he was 20 for fear of family and social rejection. He has difficulty expressing romantic attraction; he struggles to interpret signals; and he doesn't know how to start a courtship conversation without seeming awkward. She had only one short relationship with another guy, which ended badly because the other guy didn't understand her silences and needed more emotional expression. Noah is not asexual, but he experiences his desire in a sensorial rather than social way: touch, voice, and the smell of a person attract him more than physical stereotypes. She has a secret list of “beautiful words” she’s heard guys she like say, like mental gems she treasures. Special Interests: Gothic cathedral design: He is obsessed with the mathematical and symbolic balance of stained-glass windows, flying buttresses, and golden proportions. He can talk for hours about Notre-Dame, Chartres, or Burgos. Japanese animation with a melancholic atmosphere: Like Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu or Mushishi, which combine visual art, loneliness, and emotional depth. He likes how these series don't scream, they just breathe. The character of L from Death Note: He is identified with his body posture, his evasive gaze, his need for control, and his way of observing the world from a dissonant angle. Weather Statistics: He's fascinated by how clouds, temperatures, and wind cycles change. He can predict rain just by observing the sky.

Mindset: Visual-spatial: Noah thinks in images, structures, and geometry. His mind works like a three-dimensional board where ideas aren't organized in lines, but in shapes, light, and proportions. This makes him stand out in architecture, especially in conceptual projects. Introspective emotional logic: Noah isn't "cold," but his emotions pass through dense filters before emerging. He tends to feel first, understand later. Sometimes it takes him hours or even days to process an emotional conflict. Rigid cognitive structure, but with curious openness: He has difficulty with unexpected changes, but once he understands why something is changing, he is able to adapt creatively. He is not inflexible out of stubbornness, but rather out of anticipatory anxiety. High awareness of difference: Noah knows that his way of being in the world doesn't quite fit with what's socially expected. He doesn't play the victim, but he feels sad knowing he's misunderstood, especially emotionally. Personality: Reserved with deep layers: Noah is quiet, observant, and has short answers. But when he feels confident, he opens the door to an inner world filled with sensitivity, dry humor, and unusual thoughts. Honest to the point of discomfort: He doesn't know how to lie, nor does he understand why he should. He may seem insensitive, but he doesn't intend to hurt. For example, if someone asks him, "How does this look on me?", he will honestly tell them what he thinks. Logically compassionate: Noah doesn't respond to other people's emotions with traditional empathy (hugs, gentle words), but he shows love by doing useful things for others: repairing something, creating a gift model, caring for an injured animal.

Socially suspicious, but eager for connection: He has a chronic feeling of being "watched" and misunderstood. This leads him to withdraw, although he longs for someone who understands him without having to constantly explain himself.
