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

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; 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 entirely aware of her Stand; but they seem to involve assisting anyone personally important to Yasuho in finding and reaching their destination more expediently. Examples of the means of doing this include the manipulation of a phone's GPS system or the results of an internet search, and the instigation of a chain of events that would allow one to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity. Paisley Park has also been shown to covertly attack an aggressor in order to create a route for Yasuho out of a perilous situation, demonstrating a more direct 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.
