'''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|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 Vermillion''' (ノエル=ヴァーミリオン) is a former Lieutenant of the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]] and one of the main characters of the ''[[BlazBlue (Franchise)|BlazBlue]]'' series. She is a [[Boundary Interface Prime Field Device]], a perfect reflection of [[The Origin|The Origin's]] [[soul]] and the wielder of the [[Nox Nyctores]]' [[Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk]] and [[Lux Sanctus: Murakumo]]. A nervous, but kind-hearted 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]]''. She was revealed for ''[[BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War]]'' on February 14th, 2018. Noel's true form is '''[[Mu-12]]'''.


Noel is one of the original twelve playable characters who debuted in ''[[BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger]]''.
==Appearance==
==Appearance==
Noel is a petite girl with green eyes and blonde hair that falls to her upper back.


==Personality==
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 02.jpg|thumb|left|150px|NOL uniform]]


{{Quote|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.<ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction Consumer Edition Official Site (JP), [http://www.blazblue.jp/cf/cs/character/noel.php Noel Vermillion]''</ref><ref>''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma Official Site (US), [http://blazblueuniverse.com/noel Noel Vermillion]''</ref>}}
Noel wears her NOL uniform, which consists of a blue beret with a metal plate that she ties her hair into and a sleeveless blouse that reaches down over her thighs, and bares her shoulders and upper back in a V-shape. The sides of the blouse are blue while the front and back are white, and there is black lining around the seams. Two diamond-shaped silver pieces hang on the bottom of the blouse. She also wears a detached white collar with a red tie, and blue, detached sleeves that are a little longer over the shoulder, with black cuffs that hang over her hands. Yellow trim lines the sleeves' upper and lower hems, and they are held in place by a silver metal armband pushed up to her upper arm. Each armband has clipped to a ring on it, a red ribbon with a triangular metal tip. She wears white gloves with gold on the back, black, thigh-high socks, and blue, tucked-in, heeled boots with white lining. The boots have gold trimmings, a yellow cross on the anterior, and a silver metal tip on the toes.


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.
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 06.png|thumb|left|150px|''Chrono Phantasma'' outfit]]


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.  
After abandoning the NOL, Noel donned a new outfit. She let her hair down and now wears two [[Seithr Regulator|blue clips]] in her hair. She wears a sleeveless, collared, white undershirt zipped at the back, and a short, red tie. The undershirt ends over her stomach, baring a bit of her skin. It also dips low at her back, mimicking the shape of her NOL uniform's shirt. Over the undershirt, she wears a short blue mantle with yellow lining. Red ribbons with triangular steel tips hang from the collar over her shoulders, pinned to the cloak with straps along the outside of her arms. She wears a thick black belt with a golden buckle and silver accents over a pleated, blue mini-skirt with a yellow hem. She holds her guns, Bolverk, in criss-crossed red holsters strapped behind her hips. She wears the same white gloves, blue, thigh-high socks, and style of heeled boots as in her NOL outfit, but the boots lack the cross motif and bear a large golden zipper in the front.


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.
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 12.jpg|thumb|left|150px|''Central Fiction'''s epilogue]]


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.
In the ending cutscene of ''Central Fiction'', Noel is seen wearing a nun's outfit. She wears a white headband over a long, black habit. Her long-sleeved, black dress has a floor-length, bell-shaped skirt and a rounded, high collar. The sides of the black skirt are slit up to her upper thigh, letting a pleated, floor-length, dusky blue underskirt show through. She wears long, black socks and simple, laced, black high-heeled boots underneath.


==Biography==
{{Br|clear=left}}


===Military Academy===
==Personality==
====Heart to Heart, Remix Heart, Variable Heart, THE BLUE====
One week after meeting Tsubaki and Makoto, Noel met [[Mai Natsume]] and they became fast friends. She went to the Ars Magus aptitude test which was presided over by [[Estella McKenzie]], and had the highest aptitude ever recorded at the Academy. She cooked for the dorms that evening, finding that Mai was the first ever person to not only like, but love her “death dinners”. She learned about Mai’s super-taste, met [[Kajun Faycott]], and helped when Mai fainted in the changing rooms later that evening. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 01''</ref> The Torifune Festival arrived not long afterwards, and Noel was introduced to [[Akane Teruhiko]] and [[Taro Sasaga'e]]; Jin was there, and gave her a dirty look. Noel helped form a plan for Tsubaki to win the contest so she could be closer to Jin. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 02''</ref> Days later, the girls ate some watermelons, although Noel swallowed seeds - they went deep into Torifune to try and find more watermelons so Noel could create a dish for Mai, but they wound up lost since Noel was reading the map upside-down. They were choked by a thick cloud of seithr, and retreated into a nearby mansion where the seithr mutated the seeds inside her, causing watermelon sprouts to come out of her navel and attack everyone. Mai saved them, and they found the [[Evolution Grimoire]] nearby. The girls decided to name themselves [[Team Remix Heart]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 03''</ref>


Spring cleaning was ordered by Estella, and Remix Heart were ordered to clean her quarters. They discovered a hidden room with numerous frilly dresses, and the girls tried them on. Noel found bra padding, and begun wearing it, finding herself very happy to not be able to see her feet. They accidentally stumbled onto the [[Ammit Cryas]], and brought it back to Estella, but they were issued the maximum penalty ("death dinner") when she ripped out the padding that Noel had stolen. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 04''</ref> The sports festival soon arrived for the first years, and Team Remix Heart competed. Noel used Ars Magus to protect Makoto and Mai while they made their way to the cards that had to be picked. The team was ordered to find the [[Conversion Grimoire]] by their card. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 05''</ref> They journeyed to the lower levels of Torifune, finding themselves in a desert. Makoto fell into a lion ant pit, and the girls saved her, making the [[Guardian]] appear. The girls debated his choice of either the Conversion Grimoire or the [[Azure Grimoire]], but they stuck with the former, passing his test, and they left. When crossed the finish line, they were last, but were awarded MVP for actually finding what they were tasked with. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 06''</ref>

Torifune's weather system had collapsed, but thanks to Taro, all of Remix Heart and Jin were thrown into a nearby beach. There, Kajun gave everyone [[Golden Angel]], which allowed Noel to slip into a swimsuit. They found the [[Regulation Grimoire]], and returned it to its fixed state when Noel's swimsuit dissolved as she came into contact with freshwater. Soon enough, they were rescued and taken back to the city proper, where the weather had been fixed by their efforts with the Grimoire. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 07''</ref> Noel, Tsubaki, Makoto, and Kajun found Mai knocked out next to the [[Hypnagogia Grimoire]], and the group resolved to wake her up from her nightmare. Inside the dream, Mai discovered Noel's identity as Mu-12, but never mentioned it to her friend when she awoke. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 08''</ref> When Mai lost her memories, she regained the ones concerning Noel as she tasted her tears that she formed by cutting onions. Noel later learned that this was because of the [[Aequivalentis Grimoire]] having made an equivalent exchange for one of Noel's cookies. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 09''</ref> Noel stole the Ammit Cryas, the Aequivalentis Grimoire, and the Conversion Grimoire from their multiple Ars Magus sealing's when the girls decided to venture deep into Torifune to find the Azure Grimoire. They had a multiple tasks to pass, and using the third Grimoire, they beat the first trial by changing Noel's death dinner into a heavenly meal. A fissure soon opened up, and swallowed the girls, with Mai falling deeper down than the others. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 10''</ref> Noel, Makoto, Tsubaki, and Kajun vowed to find her, finishing another trial by using the Aequivalentis Grimoire. They eventually found Mai next to the [[Aedsqui Grimoire]], and took her to the higher levels where she became ill. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 11''</ref>
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 along 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.


Noel listened to Kajun as she explained that Mai had become the [[Intermediary Grimoire]]. Mai accidentally transferred Noel's cooking to Taro, which knocked out him, Jin, and Akane, although the girls did not realise this until much later. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 12''</ref> In the baths, they met [[Shiori Kirihito]] and [[Chachakaka]], and Noel watched as they both groped Kajun and Mai. Shiori formerly introduced herself as a weak and frail girl afterwards, and left them alone after a short while. Noel did not help tend to the injuries of the boys, aware of Jin's intense hatred for her. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 13''</ref> Despite this, Noel did help make porridge for them to consume so they could feel better, taking some medicine that Shiori had gifted her. While waiting outside of the boy's dorms, she felt the presence of a Nox Nyctores. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 14''</ref> She saw Jin go berserk as he tried to kill Mai with the [[Mucro Algesco: Yukianesa]], and helped stop him by firing Bolverk close to his face. By doing this, [[Cypher Albar]] was able to knock Jin unconscious. She earned his praise. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 15''</ref>
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 her involvement in the Yukianesa incident, Noel was forced to watch over the icebergs created by Jin. She cheered on Shiori when she took on Taro in eating shaved ice, and was attacked by a [[Torifune panda]]. She realised that Mai had feelings for Taro, talking about it with the other girls. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 17''</ref> Tsubaki and Makoto warned Carl about Noel's cooking, making her slightly upset. She soon helped ready Mai for her date with Taro, writing a letter inviting him to a discreet location for them to meet. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 18''</ref> She and the rest of Team Remix Heart berated the young man for being extremely late to the date. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 19''</ref> Team Remix Heart was split for survival training, with Noel being paired with Tsubaki and Makoto - they helped find the [[mountain jellyfish]], discovering its main body. Working together with Shiori, Mai, and Kajun, they all defeated the beast, returning back to Estella and discovering they had all passed in first place. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 21''</ref>
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.


Mai went into a coma shortly afterwards, and Noel was told by Cypher to help gather the strongest Ars Magus users to save Mai. She did, and with Remix Heart, they reconvened, but were attacked by the professor, who locked them in a barrier created by [[alchemy]]. Noel's ability to use Ars Magus was being sucked out of her, but Chachakaka saved them. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 22''</ref> Mai soon awoke and broke the barrier that would have crushed them, and Noel watched as she fought Cypher. Chacha had revealed to the girls that Mai is the [[Hazuki]] heir, but Noel did not care, and hugged her, recognizing how hard it must have been for her. <ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 23''</ref> When Cypher teleported with Shiori and Mai to another location, Noel was ordered by Jin with the others present to gather everyone in the Academy to foil Cypher's plot to create the [[Burning Red Grimoire]]. They succeeded, and the professor went missing. Noel, Mai, Kajun, Shiori, Tsubaki, and Makoto then began to enjoy the rest of their first year together in the Academy. <Ref>''BlazBlue: Remix Heart, Chapter 24''</ref>
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.
 
In her second year, Noel was invited with Tsubaki, Makoto, and Mai to the [[2nd Hierarchical City of Iwatsuchi]] for Jin's medal ceremony, as he had just ended the Ikaruga Civil War. She briefly met [[Kagura Mutsuki]], but Makoto knocked him out before they were properly introduced. [[Hibiki Kohaku]] soon came to put the girls to work with organizing the celebrations. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 01''</ref> Mai, Kajun, and Shiori went missing soon after, but thanks to the efforts of Akane, they were able to reunite. <ref>''BlazBlue: Variable Heart, Chapter 18''</ref>
 
Almost immediately following the ceremony, Noel was approached by an NOL official, who invited her to graduate early from the Academy and be placed directly under Jin's new squadron. There, she would publicly become his secretary, but would moonlight as an assassin and spy. Aware that this would be the only way to save her family's reputation and rights, she accepted, graduating early by six months. <ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Noel Vermillion Short Story - THE BLUE''</ref>
 
===purgatory hell===
Upon her premature graduation, Noel journeyed to Jin's office. She gifted him a letter that told him of her graduation and being placed directly under his order, much to both of their dismay. She was dismissed to find another officer who would help her get used to her surroundings.


Not long afterwards, Noel gave another letter to Jin, telling him of the appearance of [[Ragna the Bloodedge]]. She was to enter the [[13th Hierarchical City of Kagutsuchi]] and investigate the appearance of the wanted criminal. She watched as Jin began to manically laugh, unaware of his relationship with the Grim Reaper. <ref>''BlazBlue Material Collection, Jin Kisaragi Short Story - purgatory hell''</ref>
== Powers & Techniques==
Noel is a nimble solider who fights with the Nox Nyctores' Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk. Bolverk can assume the form of many firearms, it's main form being two pistols. When firing, it has the ability to shoot through space and preform armagus-based blasts, regardless of any walls and obstacles that stand in the way. Noel can change the strength of these shots with her willpower; she can make them weak enough to just knock small fruit around and strong enough to cause serious damage to an opponent.<ref>''BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War, Chapter 3, 6 - 3''</ref> Aside from being used for battle, Bolverk acts as a suppressor for Noel's negative emotions. Additionally, after Noel was smelted into a cauldron by the hands of [[Yuuki Terumi]], Noel is able to assume her true form, [[Mu-12]]. She originally had no control over this form, as her emotions put her in a mundane state with only the desire to destroy. However, with the help of [[Rachel Alucard]], Noel was able to master this form, and enter it with her emotions intact.


===Calamity Trigger===
As she is the {{h|[[Successor of the Azure]]}} (蒼の継承者, ''Ao no Keishokusha''), Noel wields the {{h|[[Eye of the Azure|Power of the Eye]]}} (目の力, ''Me no Chikara''). This allows her to [[Observer|observe]] others on extraordinary levels, as she did to Tsubaki to materialize the true form of the [[Zero-Type Izayoi]].<ref> ''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, CHRONOPHANTASMA Story, Episode 14, Inherited Will'' </ref> The Successor of the Azure is the only one capable of locating the [[Master Unit]] in the depths of the [[Boundary]]. Furthermore, Noel is able to view the memories of another individual through touch, but she cannot do it by will.<ref> ''BlazBlue: Continuum Shift, Noel Stories, Desperation, Scene 2'' </ref>


{{Quote|A lieutenant of the NOL, hailing from the remote and minor noble family of Vermillion. Excelling in battle and in Ars Magus, she is a direct subordinate of the young Major Jin Kisaragi. Although the two attended Military Academy together, her relationship with him is bad. Her current mission will change her fate significantly.<ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger Official Site (JP), [http://www.blazblue.jp/pc/ct/noel.html Noel Vermillion]''</ref>}}
Noel's cooking is dangerous. The contents of her dishes usually puts the consumer in a highly fatal position, as they need to be hospitalized immediately after.<ref> ''BlazBlue: Chrono Phantasma, Remix Heart Gaiden, Episode 1, "The Case of the Difficult Duty" Part 2'' </ref> This is a trait shared by her "sisters". The Ars Magus aptitude test which was presided over by [[Estella McKenzie]], stated that Noel had the highest aptitude ever recorded at the academy. Furthermore, Noel is gullible, and has very little control over her emotions, which leads to her being bullied or manipulated on occasions.


As Jin had abandoned his post, Noel was sent on a secret mission to retrieve him in the late December of 2199, not long after her birthday. En route to Kagutsuchi, Noel daydreamed about her Military Academy days on the Ars Magus vessel there, opposite of a slim man with green hair - Captain [[Hazama]], from the Intelligence Department. When they landed at the [[Kagutsuchi Port]], Noel was given further details of her mission by Hazama. She was told that should she encounter Ragna the Bloodedge before Jin, she would be given free reign on what to do; Noel and Hazama separated, going their separate ways with Noel being ordered to search the lower areas of Kagutsuchi. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 1 - Orient Town''</ref>
Due to Noel's soul being a perfect reflection of [[The Origin]]'s, Noel is able to merge with others who share a part of The Origin's soul.


In time, Noel arrived at [[Roningai]], where she found [[Bang Shishigami]] on the floor, defeated and surrounded by ice. She came to the conclusion that Jin must have assaulted the ninja with Yukianesa, and attempted to tend to his wounds, but was stopped by the ninja's subordinates. Bang's subordinates believed her to have been the assailant who caused his wounds, but their boss came to Noel's rescue, telling them the situation. Noel soon left to continue her search for the Major, apologizing for what had happened to Bang. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 2 - Cross Fate''</ref>

The following afternoon on December 31st, Noel began to wonder about her origins, where she was born and reminisced about her time in the Vermillion household. Awaking from her daydream, she saw Jin walk past her, and weakly told him to return back to the NOL headquarters. Jin turned to face her and drew Yukianesa, swinging the blade down to cut at his secretary - Noel summoned Bolverk immediately to protect herself, but she refused to hurt him. Hazama appeared, creating a smokescreen and grabbed Noel to pull her away from Jin, who would have surely killed her. She thanked the Captain and they agreed to come back to the NOL branch at night to apprehend Jin, knowing that Ragna would likely make his move before the year ended. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 3 - False Hero''</ref>

Inside the NOL branch, Noel ran, and was drawn to the scent of blood. Following the smell, she found Jin unconscious on the floor. Noel noted that it must have been the work of Ragna, but when she thought about the name, she found herself no longer afraid of it, but rather found herself with a warm feeling of familiarity. Before she could contact someone, Hazama had approached her, and she screamed to his dismay. It was only at this moment that Noel noticed that the entire branch was empty, and left Hazama to take care of Jin while she would apprehend Ragna, and he told her to go to the cauldron laying at the bottom of the branch, for that was Ragna's objective. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 4 - Memorable Church''</ref>

In a trance, she entered the elevator leading to the lowest level, and walked past a battle between Ragna and [[Hakumen]], the former leader of the [[Six Heroes]]. The cauldron opened up in response to her, and she was met by a young girl with white hair - [[Nu-13]]. Memories came flooding back to Noel as she looked into the Boundary, and she allowed Bolverk to take her over - the two battled, but Noel lost and was nearly killed by her sister unit. Ragna suddenly appeared and took the blade meant for Noel instead. She watched Ragna lose to Nu. The two of them were soon to fall into the Boundary, but Noel shouted out to Ragna, begging him to let out his hand - she caught him, and Nu fell into the Boundary alone. By doing this, Noel had become the [[Eye of the Azure]], and had stopped time loops caused by the [[Amaterasu Unit]]. She pummelled Ragna's chest, calling him an idiot until she fell asleep in his arms. When she awoke a short time later next to Ragna, she was found by Hazama, who demanded that she Observe him - in reality, this was not Hazama, but [[Yuuki Terumi]]. In a trance, she called him the [[Susano'o|Black Susano'o]], and was teleported out the area by [[Rachel Alucard]] after she was saved by a [[Iron Tager]] from a killing blow by Terumi. <ref>''BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger - Part 2, Chapter 5 - Calamity Trigger/Successor to the Azure''</ref>

''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.''


In the fight with Ragna, Noel saw the Gate, and was forced to split her soul into two, one half keeping itself as Noel, but the other separating off into Mu. Having survived her encounter with Ragna, Noel returned to Ibukido. She was summoned by Jin, whose injuries had left him bedridden, and she interrupted a conversation between him and Tsubaki. Jin had lost his memories of the encounter with Ragna, so Noel filled him in on the details before being ordered to find Ragna before Tsubaki. Rachel found her, and the young vampire told Noel that her powers as Mu had been severed from her, something she had yet to remember. Against their wishes, both of them were teleported outside of the facility to the Master Unit by Izanami. Noel accidentally Observed the Embryo, transporting most of the cast inside it. Her memories were altered so that she believed the date was the 12/31/2199. Inside, Noel became one of the [[chosen]]. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 001, Chapter 003 – 006''</ref>
''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.''


Now believing she was still with the NOL, Noel was paired with Makoto to track down Ragna, who she still believed to be a massive threat to the NOL as she had forgotten the relationship they forged. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 001, Chapter 012''</ref> Independently, she investigated [[Roningai]], where Ragna had been sighted – there, she encountered [[Bullet]] and began to place her under arrest before Tager intervened and escaped with Bullet close behind. Before she could contact anyone, Hazama interrupted her, and directed her to the Kaka Village where Ragna was. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 016''</ref> There, she met Litchi and began asking her questions about Ragna’s location – the doctor’s cover was blown when Bang arrived and loudly proclaimed that the Grim Reaper had ran from the village. She ran after Litchi for more information while Bang was following her to prevent her from doing any harm to the doctor. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 019''</ref>
''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.''


[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 23.png|thumb|left|Saved from Arakune by Ragna]]Inside the sewers where Litchi was headed, Noel was assaulted by Arakune, who had sensed her piece of the true Azure. She was saved by Ragna, but nonetheless knocked unconscious by the monster. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 020''</ref> She later began to wake up after Tsubaki had found her and taken her to the surface <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 003, Chapter 020, Sub Scenario 1''</ref> After Tsubaki saved her, she woke up in the local NOL branch and heard rumours that she had actually battled Ragna, and not that he had saved her. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 023''</ref> She later directed Hazama to Ragna’s cell, and watched as he interrogated the Grim Reaper; the branch came under attack from Hakumen, and Noel left to deal with the incident. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 027''</ref>
''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.''


The tremors that Hakumen created opened cracks in the floor, and Noel fell through them, landing deeper inside the branch. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 004, Chapter 031''</ref> She fell unconscious, waking up to see the Grim Reaper and the legendary silver knight fighting against one another. Noel accidentally Observed the cauldron, opening it and revealing Nu-13 inside; they began to battle. She lost, and Ragna once again came to her rescue. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Episode 004, Chapter 032 - 033''</ref>
''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.''


She was transported to Ikaruga by Nine the Phantom when she was unconscious and was found on the roadside by Mai, who took her into a small house and looked after her. When she awoke, Noel told her former classmate about the events that had transpired, and cooked her some food. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 041''</ref>The following day, they went to Kazamotsu, but were found by Hazama – despite Mai protecting Noel, she failed, and they were only saved by Kagura’s intervention. All three of them went back to Yabiko. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 006, Chapter 050''</ref> There, Noel met Kokonoe, Tager, and Hibiki, but since her memories had yet to return, the entire situation greatly confused her until a memory came flooding back that made her resolve to prevent Izanami and Ragna from meeting. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 007, Chapter 055''</ref>
''With help from Rachel, Noel controls her power – the Power of the Azure.<ref>''BlazBlue: central Fiction, Library Mode, Character #003''</ref>''


Kagura later took Noel to meet Ragna, and Celica, but her memories had yet to return and she still believed the former to be an enemy of the NOL. Jin eventually arrived and casually insulted her. She remained at the conversation that Ragna, Celica, Jin, Kagura, Jubei, and Kokonoe were having, so she returned to her room. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 079''</ref> Ragna eventually came for her, and they journeyed to the branch’s cauldron. Noel saw Mu, who she had fractured from her soul, but rejected her, fainting immediately afterwards. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 080''</ref> The following day, she was part of the strike squadron sent to Nine’s workshop, where she watched as Nine not only defeated Jubei, but also explained her desire, the [[Prime Field War]], the reason she created the [[Corpus Sepulcro: Requiem]], and the world they lived in. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 081''</ref>Noel watched as Ragna defeated her. The area was soon assaulted by Izanami and Nu, forcing Nine to sacrifice herself to delay Doomsday and for Jubei to stay behind to ensure Requiem would not be destroyed. Noel was teleported out of the area. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 082''</ref>

[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 63.png|thumb|right|Noel finally accepts herself]]She arrived with the others at [[Celica A. Mercury’s Church‎]], a location she had never been to before. Noel ordered Minerva to carry Celica, who was unconscious, inside to be laid down on one of the beds; she had navigated through the area almost as if she had lived there before, seemingly relying on the memories from Saya. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story mode, Episode 010, Chapter 083''</ref> She made breakfast with Celica the following morning after having woken Ragna up from a bad dream. Noel perfectly described Ragna and Jin’s childhood to them through her memories from Saya, <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 084''</ref> and went with Ragna and Rachel later in the night to where the Azure Grimoire of that era lay. There, she eventually accepted her other self, and had her memories restored. It was also here that Noel realized that she could absorb Izanami into herself as she has a part of Saya’s soul. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 085''</ref> The following morning, she watched Celica die, and teleported back to Yabiko with the others – she cried out for her, but had no choice but to go on. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 010, Chapter 087''</ref>

In the Yabiko branch, Noel was reunited with Kagura, Kokonoe and Tsubaki. She met Hakumen and Lambda, the former expressing a desire to kill her. She explained that she holds one half of Saya’s soul and is a reflection of [[The Origin]] in the world. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapters 088 – 089''</ref> Noel agreed to be sent to the frozen time-space in the Embryo, becoming separated from the others and seeing a vision of Izanami telling her and everyone else that they had a limited time to find her and the Requiem before it explodes. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 090''</ref> Noel, with Ragna and Minerva, travelled to find the cauldron underneath Ibukido where they believed the Requiem to be resting. She heard of Jin and Kagura’s victory over Azrael. They soon found Izanami and Requiem, and Noel watched Ragna fight her, turning into Mu-12 and absorbing Izanami into herself. She said goodbye to Minerva as she sacrificed herself to destroy Requiem. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 091''</ref>

[[File:BlazBlue Central Fiction Story Mode 75.png|thumb|left|A tearful farewell]]Noel’s memories were now scrambled with Saya and Izanami’s souls within her. She was asked about [[Es]], finding some information in the memories, by Kokonoe. Noel felt Makoto dissolve into seithr, crying out for her. At some point, Noel, Ragna, and Jin found Nu fighting against Jubei, Izayoi and Hakumen. She watched Ragna defeat Nu and told him that her soul was too independent to be absorbed. Noel was assaulted by Nu when she was sent insane by Terumi, and tried to stop Hakumen from nearly killing her, being unsuccessful. Noel watched as Terumi shattered Hakumen’s soul, took over the [[Susano’o Unit]] and became [[Susano'o]] – she attempted to fight the God, but was defeated and taken by him to the [[Gate]] outside the Embryo. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 011, Chapter 092''</ref> Susano’o fused with her to make himself immune to Phenomenon Intervention, but Noel opened up the Gate and exited the Unit when Ragna dragged Terumi’s soul outside of it. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 096''</ref> When she awoke, Ragna carried her inside the Amaterasu Unit where she fully fused with Saya. Outside, Trinity materialized clothes for her, resembling her old NOL uniform. Noel, choosing to be called that instead of Saya, had her dream taken by Ragna, and she hugged her brother with Jin, crying softly into his chest. Eventually, she returned to seithr, and awoke in the new world created by Ragna. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 098''</ref>

In this world, Noel lives as a nun with Lambda, caring over Nu.

THE BLUE
Trigger Shift

Noel Vermillion (ノエル=ヴァーミリオン) is a former Lieutenant of the Novus Orbis Librarium and one of the main characters of the BlazBlue series. 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 kind-hearted 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. She was revealed for BlazBlue Alternative: Dark War on February 14th, 2018. Noel's true form is Mu-12.

Appearance

Noel is a petite girl with green eyes and blonde hair that falls to her upper back.

NOL uniform

Noel wears her NOL uniform, which consists of a blue beret with a metal plate that she ties her hair into and a sleeveless blouse that reaches down over her thighs, and bares her shoulders and upper back in a V-shape. The sides of the blouse are blue while the front and back are white, and there is black lining around the seams. Two diamond-shaped silver pieces hang on the bottom of the blouse. She also wears a detached white collar with a red tie, and blue, detached sleeves that are a little longer over the shoulder, with black cuffs that hang over her hands. Yellow trim lines the sleeves' upper and lower hems, and they are held in place by a silver metal armband pushed up to her upper arm. Each armband has clipped to a ring on it, a red ribbon with a triangular metal tip. She wears white gloves with gold on the back, black, thigh-high socks, and blue, tucked-in, heeled boots with white lining. The boots have gold trimmings, a yellow cross on the anterior, and a silver metal tip on the toes.

Chrono Phantasma outfit

After abandoning the NOL, Noel donned a new outfit. She let her hair down and now wears two blue clips in her hair. She wears a sleeveless, collared, white undershirt zipped at the back, and a short, red tie. The undershirt ends over her stomach, baring a bit of her skin. It also dips low at her back, mimicking the shape of her NOL uniform's shirt. Over the undershirt, she wears a short blue mantle with yellow lining. Red ribbons with triangular steel tips hang from the collar over her shoulders, pinned to the cloak with straps along the outside of her arms. She wears a thick black belt with a golden buckle and silver accents over a pleated, blue mini-skirt with a yellow hem. She holds her guns, Bolverk, in criss-crossed red holsters strapped behind her hips. She wears the same white gloves, blue, thigh-high socks, and style of heeled boots as in her NOL outfit, but the boots lack the cross motif and bear a large golden zipper in the front.

Central Fiction's epilogue

In the ending cutscene of Central Fiction, Noel is seen wearing a nun's outfit. She wears a white headband over a long, black habit. Her long-sleeved, black dress has a floor-length, bell-shaped skirt and a rounded, high collar. The sides of the black skirt are slit up to her upper thigh, letting a pleated, floor-length, dusky blue underskirt show through. She wears long, black socks and simple, laced, black high-heeled boots underneath.

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.[2][3]

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 along 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.

Powers & Techniques

Noel is a nimble solider who fights with the Nox Nyctores' Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk. Bolverk can assume the form of many firearms, it's main form being two pistols. When firing, it has the ability to shoot through space and preform armagus-based blasts, regardless of any walls and obstacles that stand in the way. Noel can change the strength of these shots with her willpower; she can make them weak enough to just knock small fruit around and strong enough to cause serious damage to an opponent.[4] Aside from being used for battle, Bolverk acts as a suppressor for Noel's negative emotions. Additionally, after Noel was smelted into a cauldron by the hands of Yuuki Terumi, Noel is able to assume her true form, Mu-12. She originally had no control over this form, as her emotions put her in a mundane state with only the desire to destroy. However, with the help of Rachel Alucard, Noel was able to master this form, and enter it with her emotions intact.

As she is the Successor of the Azure (蒼の継承者, Ao no Keishokusha), Noel wields the Power of the Eye (目の力, Me no Chikara). This allows her to observe others on extraordinary levels, as she did to Tsubaki to materialize the true form of the Zero-Type Izayoi.[5] The Successor of the Azure is the only one capable of locating the Master Unit in the depths of the Boundary. Furthermore, Noel is able to view the memories of another individual through touch, but she cannot do it by will.[6]

Noel's cooking is dangerous. The contents of her dishes usually puts the consumer in a highly fatal position, as they need to be hospitalized immediately after.[7] This is a trait shared by her "sisters". The Ars Magus aptitude test which was presided over by Estella McKenzie, stated that Noel had the highest aptitude ever recorded at the academy. Furthermore, Noel is gullible, and has very little control over her emotions, which leads to her being bullied or manipulated on occasions.

Due to Noel's soul being a perfect reflection of The Origin's, Noel is able to merge with others who share a part of The Origin's soul.
