Noelle

"There remains much to be done, so let's raise our spirits and do our best again today!"

- Noelle, motivating other Dolls during major cleanings.

Noelle is a Living Doll of the Shadows House and serves Leonora as her Face. She is the Doll of the secretary Star Bearer of Samuel's era.

Appearance
Noelle is a girl of tall stature with a slightly athletic build. She has red-ish orange eyes and shoulder-length blonde wavy hair, the left side of her hair is tied to a short braid that ends at the back of her ear. She adorns herself with a navy bow positioned on where her master has a red dahlia. She wears a maid dress reminiscent of the Victorian style, with dark sleeves and a white apron and skirt.

Personality
Despite how Noelle emotes when she's serving as a "Face" and how her Shadow Master acts, Noelle is an openly sweet and caring Doll with a sunny disposition whenever she is seen off-portrait. She is naturally outgoing and talkative, she enjoys chatting with other dolls. Though, she would sometimes act overly friendly and nosy towards them, overstepping certain boundaries if she wasn't reminded of it. She tries her best to maintain her "Reliable older sister" image among the Dolls and indirectly bring honour to her mistress through her actions, thus, she is wary of showing weaknesses to others as it would risk tarnishing her reputation. She has a strong sense of responsibility and is often seen visiting major cleaning sites to help out with miscellaneous tasks, in spite of her exemption from that obligation.

Physical Abilities
Noelle has higher than average physical abilities compared to average Dolls. Her strength is explosive as she is capable of feats such as running while carrying other Dolls and swinging the steel sledgehammer with ease at her peak, though her power could be quickly depleted as her stamina isn't very impressive.

Information Bearer
Being the Doll of the secretary Star Bearer, she has access to classified information that is typically off-limits to normal children.

Memory
Noelle has good short-term memory and is rather capable in sorting tasks out and reminding others of their work by effect.

Trivia

 * The name "Noelle" derives from the old French word noël, meaning "Christmas."

 * She is not the best at comforting others, her overwhelming optimism can be seen as insensitive.
 * She enjoys playfighting and roughhousing though she doesn't have much opportunity to do so.
 * She loves writing letters that she'd give to other Living Dolls because the things that she wanted to say to them are nearly endless, but what limited time they have during major cleanings is not enough for her to converse as her heart pleases.
 * She is good at fast-paced writing; a skill that she had learned during her pre-manor days practicing to write her customers' orders as quickly as possible.
 * She loves milk and other dairy products. Her preference is shown as, given the choice, cheese is typically included in all her meal thanks to her Star Bearer's privilege.
