Paisley Park

Paisley Park (ペイズリー・パーク) is the Stand of Yasuho Hirose in Part VIII: 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 humanoid form and appears three-dimensional.

Abilities
Paisley Park's abilities have not been fully explained and Yasuho is not yet entirely aware of her Stand. 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 subsconsciously as to Yasuho's wherabouts.

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. Paisley Park also enables Yasuho to interface with various electronics at a level beyond humanly posible; 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 Holly Kira, Holly 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 Kyou 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.
