One of Norah’s characteristics is that she is adventurous. From the book it seems like she loves to explore and see new things. On her first full day there she went on a walk around the neighbourhood and explored the ravine behind the Ogilvies house. She also skipped school one day without anybody knowing just so she could explore Toronto all by herself.
Another one of Norah’s character traits is that she is active. In Ringden she would use her bike a lot. She even rode it to the train station before she left instead of taking the car. When she played with Paige and Bernard, they
always ran around outside. Mostly wherever she went in Canada, she would walk instead of drive or taking public transit unless its somewhere pretty far away.
