Paisley Park

Paisley Park (ペイズリー・パーク) is the Stand of Yasuho Hirose in JoJolion.

Appearance
Paisley Park is a humanoid Stand of an androgynous figure and a height slightly above Yasuho's; usually occupying the place of Yasuho's shadow or spread across surfaces two-dimensionally. It has Yasuho's hairstyle, and a blank face save for one round eye, on its right, with three bold eyelashes. Its face elsewhere and its body are covered by various road map symbols. It later takes a more female looking humanoid form and appears three-dimensional.

Personality
It seems to have an independent personality, since it assisted Yasuho and her friends to reach destinations or bypass security. It seems it primary objective is protecting Yasuho which doesn't change even after it is discovered by Yasuho herself. It seems loyal to Yasuho and Josuke (due to his bond with Yasuho) and seems aggressive in protecting its owner if she is threatened (such as twisting the ankle of a kidnapper).

Abilities
Paisley Park's abilities have not been fully explained as Yasuho is not yet entirely aware of her Stand's full potential. Yotsuyu Yagiyama describes it as a long-range Stand, resistant to conscious control and of low physical potency.

Guidance: Paisley Park's primary ability involves assisting individuals significant to Yasuho in finding and reaching destinations more expediently, or escaping perilous situations. Paisley Park has manipulated a phone's GPS application and the results of a web search, and instigated a chain of events allowing Yasuho to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity. Leaving Yasuho, it is seen quickly assuming the place of Josuke's shadow, cluing him subconsciously as to Yasuho's whereabouts.

The clearest physical intervention by Paisley Park occurs when it forcefully twists the ankle of a driver kidnapping Yasuho so the driver slams on the brakes. When Yasuho discovers Paisley Park for herself, it begins to provide her with time limited choices on her cell phone or computer, which then provides her with the item she asked for which then comes in handy later. For example, when presented with a choice between a flashlight and a yakiniku bento box, the choice of flashlight results in Paisley Park giving Yasuho a flashlight which then illuminates the location of something else she ends up needing a few minutes later.

Psychokinetic Interfacing: Paisley Park also enables Yasuho to interact with various electronics at a level beyond humanly possible; by reading the data for Jobin's car's event data recorder, Yasuho and Tsurugi are able to see through Paisley Park the exact route the car took, and how it appears in real time, while also allowing her access to other electronics that the car had driven past to see what they recorded.

Synopsis
Paisley Park first manifests as a controlling force on Josuke's cellphone navigation application, seemingly sending him wrong directions to his destination of Morioh University Hospital, while in fact saving him from a mysterious assailant.

While Yasuho attempts to question Holy Joestar-Kira, Holy privately notes that Yasuho's shadow reveals her Stand.

In a later instance, Paisley Park seems to manipulate events around Yasuho, allowing her to enter the hospital after being mistaken for a patient; and also seems to assist Yasuho in researching subjects on her phone.

In the Higashikata estate's underground storehouse, Yotsuyu Yagiyama accosts Yasuho and incites Paisley Park to emerge, before grasping it by its face and examining it, deducing that it is a long-range Stand.

Trivia

 * Prior to this Stand's naming in JoJolion Volume 4, fans believed its name may be "Born This Way", as its debut chapter featured the other song in the title and the lyrics state "I'm on the right track", suggesting the direction leading component. In Volume 4, it was later revealed that Born This Way was the Stand of Kyo Nijimura, having been renamed from "Going Underground".
 * Paisley Park seems either to have a mind separate from Yasuho, like Enrico Pucci and Whitesnake, or a particularly broad relationship to Yasuho and the world.
