My Time at Portia: Nora Gifts Guide (Friendship + Marriage)

This post may contain affiliate links. If you buy something we may get a small commission at no extra cost to you. (Learn more).

Nora is a temporary resident of Portia. Originally from a well-off family in Highwind, she’s in Portia to complete her two-year mission.

In the beta test of the game, she was originally a nun with little dialogue or interactions, but we think this version is much better!

Nora is a potential love interest & marriage option.

  • Her birthday is Month 4/ Winter, Day 5
  • Nora is a student at the prestigious University of Atara
  • She is very against violence and the use of weapons
  • She is in Portia to complete a 2-year mission for The Church of Light
  • She was born into a wealthy family in Highwind.
