Paisley Park (ペイズリーパーク) is the Stand of Yasuho Hirose from Part VIII: JoJolion.

Synopsis

Paisley Park first manifests itself 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; a female humanoid figure with Yasuho's hairstyle; one eye, on its right; and a face and body covered with various road map symbols.[1]

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.

Abilities

Guidance: Paisley Park's abilities have not been fully explained, and Yasuho is not yet consciously aware of her Stand; but they seem to involve assisting people in finding their destination, whether by electronic invervention, such as by manipulating a phone's GPS system; or physical means, such as by causing a chain of events that would allow one to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity. This Stand's ability also allows one to easily find information related to their goal or destination. Paisley Park has also been shown to guide Yasuho out of anxious or perilous situations, demonstrating a clearer relationship to her wishes.

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 an extremely broad relationship to Yasuho and the world.
