Noel Vermillion

""I have to go on ahead!""

Noel Vermillion (ノエル＝ヴァーミリオン) is a former Lieutenant of the Novus Orbis Librarium. She is a Boundary Interface Prime Field Device, a perfect reflection of The Origin's soul and the wielder of the Nox Nyctores' Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk and Lux Sanctus: Murakumo. A nervous, but kindhearted young woman, she aims to help others wherever she goes.

Noel is one of the original twelve playable characters who debuted in BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger.

Appearance


Noel is a petite girl with long blonde hair, and green eyes.

Noel wears her NOL uniform, which consists of a blue beret with a metal plate, which her hair is tied into, and a sleeveless blouse that reaches down over the thigh area. The sides of the blouse is blue, while the front and back parts are white, and there is black lining all around. With a red tie, it also has a detached white collar, and two diamond shaped silver pieces on the bottom of the blouse. She wears blue detached sleeves that extends upwards at the shoulder area, and is black around the wrist area. There is yellow lining on the sleeves, and a silver metal guard which has clipped a red line, with a metal tip. She wears black thigh socks, and blue tucked in heel boots which are white on the inside. They have gold trimmings, a yellow cross on the anterior, and a silver metal tip on the toes.



After abandoning the NOL, Noel donned a new outfit. She let her hair out, and now wears a blue headset. She wears a small, sleeveless white undershirt with the collar tucked in and a zipper on the back, and a red tie. Over the white undershirt, is a small blue cloak with yellow lining, and the same red strings attached to them from her NOL outfit. She now wears a blue skirt, with yellow lining along the edges. Her belt is black, with a golden buckle, and silver plates on it. Her guns, Bolverk, are now held in red holsters. She wears the same thigh socks, and boots, with the only exception being no cross, and a lock on the front.



In the ending cut scene of Central Fiction, Noel is seen wearing a Nun's outfit. She had a white headband, followed by a black habit. She has a curved shaped collar, and a long black long sleeved dress that covers her feet. With long socks, she has long heel-boots underneath her dress.

Personality
"Outwardly professional, Noel often feels lonely, and her fear of strangers makes it difficult to address that fear and establish new relationships. Although she is peerless in combat, outside of it she’s often clumsy and awkward. Her cooking is especially abysmal."

Noel is shy, reserved, and struggles to keep control over her emotions. She initially had great difficulty with socialising with other people, only being able to communicate because of Bolverk's ability to suppress emotions. In time, she eventually learned to interact with others, being polite, helpful, yet reserved. She is extremely close to Tsubaki Yayoi and Makoto Nanaya, and tries to get on with Jin Kisaragi despite the cruel way he treats her. She loves her adopted parents deeply, joining the NOL to save their name and often worrying about how they are.

She struggles with her identity as an artificial human, at one point calling herself a doll. These darker emotions caused her to hate the world, but they have since been quelled. As her soul is comprised of many identities, she focuses on the identity of Noel.

Because of how shy she is, Noel shops online and attempts to hide away from others. She can become easily flustered at the slightest of remarks, but does have nerve to fight forward and resolve to do what she believes is right. The former Lieutenant regularly writes poems, although she never shows them to anyone out of sheer embarrassment. Noel also has a weakness for things she deems cute or fluffy, such as Lao Jiu or Makoto's tail.

In addition, Noel is extremely sensitive to comments made about her small chest size. This often causes her to further withdraw into herself, although on occasion when others have mistaken her for a boy or a man because of her chest size, she can become angry to the point that she immediately attacks the offender with little warning.

Noel Vermillion
''The girl with the power to terminate the endless loop of this world.

''Orphaned by the Ikaruga Civil War, she finds home in the lower class nobles, the Vermillion family. Her memories before becoming adopted, however, are all but gone.

''She is quite shy, and is not great at finding new relationships. But, she cares deeply for her family that took her in, and the friends who surround her. She will fight, if it means saving them.

''Her battle prowess is quite high, especially when it comes to Ars Magus. She enters the military academy with top scores. Her talents did not go unnoticed, and it wasn’t long until she was assigned to Jin’s unit. Tsubaki and Makoto are friends from her Military Academy days.

''The very first mission she received was one to bring back her superior at NOL, Jin Kisaragi, who was accused of defecting. She heads for Kagutsuchi, where she inherits the true ‘Azure,’ which will drastically change her fate.

''While still chasing Jin, she falls victim to Hazama’s scheme, and awakens as μ-No.12-. After being rescued by Ragna, she finds shelter in Sector Seven, but immediately sets off with Makoto to save their friend Tsubaki from the clutches of the Imperator.

''With help from Rachel, Noel controls her power – the Power of the Azure.
