Norah's Nemesis

In the left corner-wearing black and purple plastic, Norah's Nemesis, THE VACUUM...... and in the right corner- with a singing sun and rainbow keys, Norah's beloved PIANO!

Basically Norah has very little to fear on a day to day basis. She's not terribly happy to see strangers, but she's not really afraid of them. Heights are no problem. Speed is no problem. Very little bothers her, except for her arch nemesis - The Vacuum.

She HATES the vacuum with a passion and will avoid it all costs. It doesn't even have to be running to catch her attention. If you roll the vacuum into the room, she will drop whatever she's doing, run for the nearest pair of legs, and start climbing like a monkey up a tree. If you don't react quickly enough to pick her up, you will encounter waterworks, which you are likely to face anyway.

Norah will watch the vacuum suspiciously until it's completely out of the room, never letting it out of her sight. (You never know if your nemesis is going to try to double-back and catch you unaware.) If you are holding her while somebody else is running the vacuum, you need to be very aware of your surroundings as well. If the vacuum goes behind you, Norah is going to suddenly switch which shoulder she's looking over, and can give a pretty nasty, albeit inadvertent headbutt.
