[edit] Personality
Born the youngest child, Noele has often been a bit spoiled. She is a bit self-conscious about her physical appearance, and often takes quite a bit of time to make sure her appearance is flawless, especially around people of influence, or those she's never met before. There is a bit of temper in her that doesn't often come to light, though it has once or twice since coming to Gateway. Rarely does she actually act on this anger, instead going to a quiet room to think about a course of action instead of impulsively jumping. Typically, she is quite friendly, eager to learn about this new culture (or varying cultures, considering the isles) and meet new people.
Her mind is sharp, and she's been known to be a quick study in many things. During her time as a courtier, she learned to study people with a careful gaze, observing their posture, tone, and inflections to determine true meaning behind spoken words. Whether she actually catches that meaning is not often commented on. She enjoys reading in her spare time, as well as dance and music when she gets the opportunity. Wrangling her husband into dancing can sometimes be tricky.
Noele does not hide her disdain and dislike for the Maehdrosi that are on Gateway. Unless provoked, she will keep her comments to herself, and avoid them. Though she would rather they just go away, and was quite relieved when they did.
[edit] Rumors & Facts
- She is the youngest child in the noble du Orianne family from Pais de Leuvier.

- When possible, she will follow her sister's lead before taking any action until she becomes more familiar with Gateway culture.
- Some slang terms will easily confuse the foreign woman: They get lost in translation.
- While her accent is pronounced, she takes great care to enunciate her words clearly, making her words easy to understand.
