hi, i am riina & it’s so good to be back! i used to be a part of this group for months before my life to a bit mad and i unfortunately had to disappear. i missed you all so much during my absence and i am so happy to bring noor back and get to interacting with all the old and new members! there’s a bit of info on her under the cut!

noor was born in queens but spent a significant amount of her childhood in her father’s native saudi arabia, mainly in the city of jeddah. her mother is a native new yorker from a largely irish american family and was born and raised in astoria.

she’s the eldest of four siblings & super close with her brother hassan who’s only fourteen months younger than her. she used to have a fairly complicated relationship with her sister zahra but they’ve recently started to reconnect after some hard times. noor’s youngest brother karim lives in california and is undoubtedly the coolest of the khalaf children.

was bit of an overachiever and people-pleaser as a child. it took her ages to learn how to live for herself instead of those around her. she now has absolutely no trouble saying no.

she got her bachelor’s degree in nursing from adelphi university. this is also where she met her now ex-husband. noor got married when she was twenty-one but the marriage only lasted for three years. she was pregnant with her daughter hana during the separation and is now a single mother. noor absolutely adores her daughter and will gladly sing her praises whenever people are willing to listen. hana’s father returned to the united arab emirates after the divorce and isn’t really in the picture.

noor moved in with her parents after her marriage fell apart. however! she and hana have recently moved out, although they still live in the same apartment complex. noor’s a massive family person, okay.

she can be incredibly bossy at times & finds it difficult to keep her mouth shut if she believes there’s a better way to go about doing something.

would like to get her master’s in nursing in the near-ish future as she hopes to become a clinical nurse specialist.

noor played soccer between the ages of five and twenty-one and dreams of picking up her beloved hobby once again.

she doesn’t drink and has probably never set foot in a nightclub but she will gladly accompany her friends to more chill bars. would most likely be the designated driver if she didn’t absolutely despise driving.

will mother absolutely everyone, especially when tired after her night shifts. don’t you dare to do anything even remotely risky in her company.

i have to head to bed soon but i can’t wait to write each and every one of you! please let me know if you’d like to plot anything at all <3

I know David H is pretty beloved but I find his Pomatter too OTT & imo he tries to make the actor of Jenna laugh not Jenna if that makes sense. Bryan Fenkart played a funny Pomatter. I really want to see Lucie with a different Pomatter cause I think I would like her more. I’m a bit in different to her Jenna but damn she sings the hell out of the songs. 3/6

Oooh, valid! I see what you mean! David’s actually my favourite, but I definitely get you! I’ve never seen a Bad Idea reprise with David and Lucie that didn’t involve them breaking, and I’ve seen them together thrice. Although… Gavin did intentionally make Sara laugh during It Only Takes A Taste when I saw it, but Sara actually hid it/recovered better than I’ve known Lucie to. I believe there’s a boot of Lucie with Mike, so that might be one to look to trade for when it’s past its date! I think she and Piers would be suuuuper interesting to see together, so if Piers wants to be on when I got in March… No complaints from me!

Interestingly, me and my sister were talking about how we’re both happy for David to stay until closing (speaking of which, will you be there?) before we saw the show with Gavin, as we both love him. We were literally walking across the street from the Adelphi after taking pictures talking about it. However, my sister’s only other perception of Pomatter is Mark Evans, who she didn’t like, but then after we saw Gavin, she was practically ready to kick David out the door, and was saying she loved how… tender (?) Gavin was in comparison, and that David’s delivery now seems a little too cheesy. I think David balances the humour out with the tenderness really well, but that’s just me! And that’s why I love hearing other people’s perspectives!
