'''Noel Vermillion''' is a former Lieutenant of the [[Novus Orbis Librarium]]. She is a perfect reflection of [[The Origin|The Origin's]] [[soul]], and the wielder of the [[Nox Nyctores]]' [[Arcus Diabolus: Bolverk]] and [[Lux Sanctus: Murakumo]]. Noel's soul is currently comprised of [[Saya|Saya's]], [[Izanami|Izanami's]], [[Mu-12|Mu-12's]], [[The Origin|The Origin's]] and her own. She currently lives in a church with [[Lambda-11]], looking after [[Nu-13]].
'''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.
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 02.jpg|thumb|left|150px|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.
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 06.png|thumb|left|150px|''Chrono Phantasma'' outfit]]
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.
[[File:BlazBlue Noel Vermillion Model Sheet 12.jpg|thumb|left|150px|''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==


==Biography==
{{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 name="bbcf-jp-noel"/><ref name="bbcpex-en-noel"/>}}
===Central Fiction===
 
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, who’s 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>
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.


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>
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.


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>
== 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.


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>
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>


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>
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.


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>
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.


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 [[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>

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 Jubei. 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. They were visited by Tsubaki and Makoto who stayed for dinner, extending an open invitation from Kagura for Noel to return to the NOL at any time. She declined, saying that she would like to help people a different way. <ref>''BlazBlue: Central Fiction, Story Mode, Episode 012, Chapter 100''</ref>

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.

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.[12]
