Novelle

The name Novelle means 'new comer' in latin. She usually seems rather quiet, shy, or awkward at first but once you get to know her and she feels comfortable around you she is actually quite loud, fun, and outgoing. Tends to be a party animal, but knows how to be responsible. Sometimes people mistake her for bieng rude or unfriendly, but they probably dont know her yet. Novelle always loves to try new things and meet new people, and is very adventurous. She can be insecure and have a low self esteem, but not many notice this. A generally amazing girl who is full of surprises. Very unique. She is also a tiger in the bedroom. You should get to know her!
Me: "Do you know Novelle?"
Bob: "Yeah I've heard of her. She's quiet."
Me: "WHAT?! I thought so too at first, but man, she's crazy!"
