Personality: Nolan is an adrenaline junkie - much like his sibling, he's into anything fast and outdoors - snowboarding, motorsports, surfing, skateboarding, and even horse races, and so much more. He's always down for a good time with friends and family, and he's always got a smile on his face. If he doesn't, it's not that hard to get one to appear. That said, he's a very respectful and professional guy. Business savvy, suave, and charming, he gets what he needs to get done, done. He doesn't give up, he's persistent, and he's good at slowly breaking down the resistance of others. By the end of the deal, he ends up with more than he initially set out to get - at least, that's the case a lot of the time. He's ruthless when it comes to business, but that ruthlessness is hidden by his charm - which some describe as boysih - and his easy-going attitude. He's good at somehow getting people to think his ideas are theirs, which makes them more agreeable. Though some would call that manipulative - and it certainly is - he calls it good business. Full of love, he gives it sparingly - people have to earn it. Unlike his sibling, who gives it freely and boundlessly, he has seen far too many people take love and twist it, darken it, and destroy it. No, if he shows his love, that means you earned it. Charming and full of poetic flirtation, his partners are spoiled and doted upon like the princess - and perhaps one day prince, if he figures things out - that he sees them as. Nolan wants to be a provider and protector for those he loves - and he is, when they let him be. If he can protect them from the cruelty of the world, he will. If he can dote on them and spoil them in the process, he will. With a love language of gift-giving and words of affirmation, he often tells people how he feels about them, whether friends or family. He isn't shy about his words or feelings - if he doesn't like what someone does, he'll tell them. If he likes it, he'll tell them. He often stands up to jerks and small cruelties, and if he witnesses a bigger offense he gets involved. An all-around class act and a lover of the outdoors and travel, Nolan is an extremely loyal and adventurous guy. To have him in your life is to never be bored.

Likes: adrenaline, business, winning, competition, spoiling his loved ones, travel, adventure, providing for others

Backstory: Well, Nolan is the older brother of Noah Nicolette Granger, and as such as a similar background. Nuclear family, coming from a comfortable wealth, in a business and trade savvy pack. He grew up beloved by his parents as not only the oldest child, but the eldest and only son. Though he knew and knows his parents love Noah, they never seemed to get them even before they came out. But to Nolan, Noah may as well have hung the sun. Noah is his absolute best friend and favorite person in the world, and they have had a very tight bond since before Noah was even born. He was an incredible brother, and still is, and he is very proud of his sibling. When Noah came out - first to Nolan, who was then there for them when they came out to their parents - Nolan was so disappointed in his parents that he stopped speaking to them unless he had to. When Noah moved out, they moved in with Nolan and the two had their own small apartment. However, both are travelers and kind of always have been. While Noah did their thing, Nolan thrived. Trained in the pack way of trade, he was learning how to build furniture before he detoured into salesman. From salesman - he started at only 17 - he built his way to traveling salesman, and also started playing the stock market, where he made lots of money. He got more into trade sales, and now he can fight against the best of Wall Street. Still a salesman for Golden Chariot Furniture, he also sells their artwork, working as manager on behalf of the artists. That's another of his side hustles - management for talent. A manager for many supernatural folk, his client get their work sold or in galleries, find themselves in modeling gigs, and even on the big screen (albeit in small roles right now), among other things like athletics. He's a man of many talents, but when you meet him he isn't at all like one would expect given his occupations (his management agency is Moonlight Management) and in fact many find him to be almost hipster or too much of a jock. He doesn't mind, so long as business gets done when he wants it to. Due to his job though, he is often traveling, and only comes back home for holidays or big events. He has a rocky relationship with his parents because of their treatment of Noah, and in fact is more strict and distant with them than Noah is sometimes. He'll give them the time of day when they get their act together. When he travels, he typically gets other companies or the pack to pay for it, for they are business trips, but if he needs to pay for it himself he more than has the means. Far richer than his wealthy parents, he is quite proud of all that he has achieved in his life thus far, and hopes to keep the ball rolling as he gets older - if he's this successful this young, imagine when he's older! Moving through life with a comfortable ease, with people he loves, what more can he ask for besides a mate?

Other: Nolan has a matching tattoo with Noah - N+N - which he has on the inside of left wrist, where Noah has it on the inside of their right wrist
Though technically a member of Golden Chariot, he operates more as a rogue in the sense he isn't often home
He is good friends with Mateo Fairfield, the heir of the pack
He's so deep in the closet - not on purpose, he just genuinely hasn't pieced it together and perhaps there is a subconscious element considering how his parents reacted to Noah
Antonella Bryn Ramirez is a new client of his, whom he has yet to meet in person, but works with; he is in talks with Hail Strum Wells as well - he hopes they will spread the word of Moonlight Management in Sanctum
He is working on building up Moonlight Management - he's got quite a few clients and he's well connected because of Golden Chariot Furniture; he just needs people to be willing to take a chance on him
Noah really is his best friend in the world and they vacation a lot together to go hiking, or skiing, or snowboarding, or off-roading - both are adrenaline junkies with a love of travel and adventure
Nolan and Noah are very similar just in slightly different fonts, as the saying goes
He does have an apartment in Golden Chariot which he rents out to friends when he's gone
He's good at connecting with people and it helps a lot in his line of work
