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

Appearance

Paisley Park is a humanoid Stand with a generally female figure; Yasuho's hairstyle; one eye, on its right; and a face and body covered with various road map symbols.

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 either escaping perilous situations or finding and reaching destinations more expediently. The latter is demonstrated by the manipulation of both a phone's GPS system and the results of an internet search, and the instigation of a chain of events that allowed Yasuho to bypass security clearance through mistaken identity. The most apparent physical intervention by this Stand occurs when it twists the ankle of a driver kidnapping Yasuho.

Paisley Park is described by Yotsuyu Yagiyama in terms of the classic laws of Stand power as a long-range Stand; resistant to conscious control and of low physical strength.

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.

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.
