Noelle Silva

Noelle Silva (ノエル・シルヴァ) is a noblewoman and the second daughter of the Clover Kingdom's House Silva, one of its royal families. She is also a 3rd Class Junior Magic Knight of the Black Bull and Royal Knights squads.

Appearance
Noelle is a 15-year-old girl with a slender build and pink eyes. She possesses long, silver-colored hair, which is usually tied in pigtails, with her center bangs over her forehead. Additionally, she wears a pair of purple stud earrings with a cross flory fitchy shape, and a silver bracelet on her left wrist.

She wears a sleeveless, backless, short purple dress covered by a silver-colored blazer. The blazer has a backless design with sleeves attached at the back that extend slightly beyond her elbows with gold-colored cuffs. The blazer also has a pair of House Silva pins attached to it around her collarbone area. Additionally, it has frilly edges and a rounded tailcoat that extends down to her knees. Furthermore, the blazer extends up to her neck where it has frilly edges and is held together by a gold locket. She wears a brown leather belt that supports her pouch, which has a similar color and gold ornaments at its corners. The pouch hands on her right side, and contains her grimoire. She also wears a pair of silver-colored leg warmers with a gold-colored cuff at both ends and a pair of sandals.

As a member of the Black Bull squad, Noelle wears her black squad robe, which looks like a hooded mantle with gold trimming. It has a gold-colored button to hold it together at the right-hand side. The robe also displays her squad's insignia on the left-hand side.

As a child, she sports a braided pigtail hairstyle on the sides of her head. Her attire also has a strong resemblance to her current attire.

Personality
Having been born into the royal family, Noelle can seem arrogant and vain. This can be seen when she denies Asta's act of friendship while proclaiming that she has not given him permission to talk to her.

This also causes her to have difficulty admitting her failures, as she often tries to find excuses or blames her mistakes on somebody else. After finally coming out of her difficulties in admitting her mistakes, Noelle can also be seen as very reserved on expressing her delight over her achievements where she would rather suppress those feelings and shows her usual stern expression. She has a supposedly high sense of taste for items, as can be seen when she says that Magna Swing's broom is lame.

However, due to having been rejected by her own family who had noticed her lack of control over her Magic Power, Noelle developed a slight inferiority complex to her more accomplished brothers and sister. This inferiority complex leads Noelle to try and prove them wrong to the point where she'll overexert herself during training. Additionally, she is skeptical of the people around her since she expects them to react the same way that her family did.

She is also rather modest, as she is mortified when she realizes her shirt is torn, showing her breasts slightly after the dungeon mission and is also slightly embarrassed wearing her bikini at the beach.

Because of the Black Bull's, notably Asta's, influence, she slowly begins to have more confidence in herself. This slowly gives birth to a more courageous side where she is even willing to go against opponents like Vetto and her own brother, Solid.

Kahono points out a reason that Noelle lacks magic control comes from her desire to not hurt anyone. This reveals that despite Noelle's shortcomings, she is a kind person which sets her apart from other nobles. Another aspect that sets her apart from other nobles is how she becomes less prejudice towards commoners which was shown during the Star Awards Festival.

This confidence, courage, and kindness shapes Noelle a strong resolve to protect those she cares for, which creates a more selfless side to her personality.

While her personality improves, her nobility and pride makes her still not always honest with herself. The biggest example is her growing feelings towards Asta and how she tries to deny them. These traits follow the archetype of a tsundere.

Nozel Silva
Nozel is Noelle's older brother and has a difficult relationship with him. Nozel holds Noelle in very poor regard, lamenting and insulting her for not being able to control her powers. She frequently has to deal with his constant shaming of her, with Nozel often telling her how she has shamed House Silva and rhetorically asks how long is she going to continue embarrassing their family. This is contrasted by how he treats his other two siblings, Solid and Nebra, who he talks to with a level of superiority over them, but still treats them with respect, advising them to not waste their time with someone like Asta.

He cruelly puts the blame of their mother's death on Noelle's shoulders, often telling her it is her fault. Before the Magic Knights Entrance Exams he scolds her for partaking and tries to discourage her from becoming a Magic Knight, apparently for the sake of their family. Noelle remains defiant, however, and gets selected by Yami for the Black Bull, despite her inability to control her powers. Noelle is submissive to Nozel, the fact that he is one of the top captains in the kingdom and a force to be reckoned with means she never stands up for herself in front of him as she feels powerless.

The truth, however, is that Nozel sees a lot of their mother, Acier, in Noelle and is terrified of losing her like he lost his mother. So his cruel treatment of Noelle is to act as a deterrent for her to become a Magic Knight, but also to try and suppress these hidden feelings. The truth is made clear when he partners with Noelle to defend House Silva from the possessed Magic Knights, and openly admits these feelings in front of Solid and Nebra, stunning Noelle. He then apologises to her for his years of poor treatment towards her.

Nozel genuinely believed Noelle to be weak and worthless since she could not control her powers. However, her time with the Black Bull and Asta has turned her into a powerful mage, capable of controlling her powers and using strong magical attacks such as Sea Dragon's Roar, stunning Nozel, it was upon seeing this that he decides to be honest with what he truly thinks of her. He starts to trust her judgement when he silently accepts Noelle's proposal to try and save the possessed Magic Knights rather than kill them and lets his protective side slip out when he stops Noelle from joining Asta and Yuno to defend Hage village.

Solid Silva
Solid is Noelle's brother and, much like her other two siblings, has an extremely poor relationship with him. Unlike his brother Nozel, he is much more sadistic in his treatment towards Noelle, taking joy in bullying and upsetting her. As children he would take her toys away, tease her and tear it up, and would slap away her food because she started eating before him. He regularly belittled her because she could not control her magic.

Their poor relationship is put on full display at the War Merits Conferment Ceremony, when he singles her out as the most unwanted guest of all, pours his drink over her head and further insults her, which incurs Asta's wrath when he sees what he is doing to her. He shares the opinion of Nozel that she is weak and worthless, a disgrace to the Silva family and is to blame for their mother's death.

Noelle is able to put Solid in his place during the Royal Knights Selection Exam, where he continued with his belittling of Noelle and chased her throughout the match out of his desire to harm her. She is able to defeat him with her Sea Dragon's Roar, completely shocking him that she could conjure up such a powerful spell and hit him with it. He is later stunned when Nozel apologises to how badly he has treated her all these years.

It is apparent early on that Noelle is fearful of Solid, more so than Nozel, because of his unpredictable and sinister nature to embarrass her at every opportunity, whereas Nozel is mostly critical of her but would also just ignore her. However, she openly states to Solid that she is no longer scared of him, having grown tremendously under the Black Bull, and by befriending Asta, becoming a powerful mage in her own right. Because she no longer fears him she becomes inclined to protect him when he, along with Nebra, are being attacked by a possessed Magic Knight, surprising him yet again with her spells.

Nebra Silva
Nebra is Noelle's one and only sister, but who is very close to Solid. As a result she shares the exact same opinion as him, as well as Nozel, that she is a failure and an embarrassment to House Silva. She accompanies Solid pretty much everywhere and was present at the War Merits Conferment Ceremony when Solid began berating her, with Nebra commenting that she has been exiled from the Silva family and thus finds it insulting that she would return to the noble realm of the Clover Kingdom.

When Solid is defeated by Noelle at the Royal Knights Selection Exam she attempts to comfort him, and lightly teases, him over the defeat, implying she still thinks poorly of Noelle. She is in disbelief to see Noelle use Sea Dragon's Roar and was able to successfully defeat the possessed Magic Knight, succeeding where she and Solid had failed. Nebra, along with Solid, is shocked by Nozel's change of attitude towards Noelle when he apologises to her for how harsh he has treated her all these years.

Mimosa Vermillion
Mimosa is Noelle's cousin on her mother's side. Unlike Noelle's siblings, Mimosa was always very kind to Noelle and admired her for her perseverance despite the torment she had to go through because of her siblings. Noelle viewed Mimosa as a klutz, who always seemed to comically fall over or hurt herself out of no where. Nonetheless, Noelle greatly appreciates Mimosa's friendship and found it a source of comfort in her childhood. Mimosa is frustrated by her inability to defend her cousin whilst many nobles mock her, knowing full well how hard Noelle trains to master her magic.

The two are reunited when they meet in the dungeon that their respective squads are assigned to explore. After a few pleasantries between them they part ways after Asta challenges Klaus to a race, which he accepts. Noelle later finds Mimosa injured after a devastating attack by Mars, causing her great concern. She decides to protect Mimosa from Mars with her spell whilst she recovers. Mimosa returns the favour later on when she uses her recovery magic on Noelle when she gets critically injured by Mars.

After the mission in the dungeon Mimosa develops romantic feelings for Asta, who Noelle also has deep feelings for, and upon hearing Mimosa's confession to her Noelle can't help but be shocked and let out a shriek. Since then she has seen Mimosa as a love rival and has become jealous numerous times throughout the story at her interactions with Asta. However, she does not allow her jealousy to effect her relationship with Mimosa at all, and is always friendly with her cousin. Mimosa is unaware of Noelle's feelings for Asta, and is always king and polite with her. She becomes greatly distressed upon seeing how Nozel, Solid and Nebra are treating her at the War Merits Conferment Ceremony.

Mimosa has always believed in Noelle's capabilities and is delighted to see how much she has grown from her time around Asta and the Black Bull. She cannot help but smile when Nozel shows his own acknowledgement to Noelle by asking her to help him defend the Royal Capital.

Asta
Noelle first sees Asta when he passes his initiation test, watching him from atop the Black Bull hideout. She first encounters him whilst Magna is showing him around. She initially despises him because of his low social status and brash personality. However, Asta is able to save her from losing control of her spell and proceeds to compliment how incredible her powers are, this coming after years of abuse from her siblings for not being able to control her abilities, and decides to befriend him. She still retains a sense of superiority over Asta because of her status as royalty, but nonetheless comes to enjoy his company.

As the story progresses she develops strong romantic feelings for Asta, but is reluctant to express them. These feelings first manifested after she sees Asta fighting for the first time on their first mission together at Sosshi village where he defeats Heath Grice. Her feelings develop to a point where she goes as far as to tail Asta in the shadows when he goes to a mixer with both Luck and Finral. And has shown signs of extreme jealousy when other women, such as Mimosa, Rebecca and Kahono also show an interest in him. Her desire for Asta leads her to believe that she is the special person in Asta's life when Rebecca asked him if he had anyone special and he is unable to say who it is and is only able to answer yes, not knowing he was thinking of Sister Lily.

She cares for Asta deeply and becomes extremely worried when he has been seriously injured in a fight, but will pretend that she was not concerned when she realises he is fine. Her care for Asta is such that she is willing to travel to the Witches' Forest to negotiate with the Witch Queen in order to fix Asta's arms after Vetto puts a hex on them. She tends to give Asta a drink whenever he struggles to swallow his food and offers to feed him when he cannot use his arms, becoming annoyed when Asta obliviously opts to use his feet instead. She tries to comfort Asta when he is upset about the results of the Royal Knights Selection Exam, whilst also stopping Luck from trying to fight Asta.

Asta's aid in getting her to control her powers means a lot to Noelle, and she often thinks of him when she wants to focus her abilities. He has been by her side to help her train, and motivates her to become stronger. Although she often might deny his significance to her, in reality she finds him irreplaceable. Because she is in-denial about her true feelings for Asta she has the habit of blasting water at him and sending him flying away whenever a situation with him gets her flustered or nervous, however, she often feels regret after doing so and will try to find him afterwards. At one point she tells Asta that he is the only commoner that she has ever acknowledged. She has become a close friend of Asta and enjoys spending time with him and has somewhat become his main partner on missions.

Asta values her greatly and sees her as a great friend and an incredible person. Although he is completely oblivious to her feelings for him, as he is with most women. He once said that he likes Noelle a lot after he sees her care for a lost child and proclaim that the Star Awards Festival should be enjoyed by everyone, regardless of social standing, causing Noelle to blush and attack him. His care for Noelle is such that he will not stand for insults levied against her, even from the higher nobility or her own family, getting into a fight with Solid for what he said, demanding he apologise to her. His belief in Noelle is absolute and has never doubted her capabilities in battle, putting his faith in her numerous times.

Yami Sukehero
Noelle is recruited into the Black Bull by Yami after the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, the same time as Asta. She respects him greatly but is also intimidated by his rough and blunt personality. Such is her admiration of Yami, she takes great pleasure when he actually compliments her, but like with a lot of her true feelings, she tries to hide it. Although Yami is a foreigner, and a commoner, she harbours no sense of superiority in any regard towards him, and sees him purely as her captain and someone above her. She is also impressed by Yami's incredible power and is the voice of reason when Yami is about to use his Dark Cloaked Dimension Slash on Jack in his dual with him, convincing Finral to intervene because of the danger it poses.

She is grateful to Yami for taking a chance on her despite being fully aware of her inability to control her magic, and so tries to do her best for him. Yami has faith in Noelle, and tasks her with transporting the squad to the Seabed Temple since she is the only one that uses water magic. He does not beat around the bush and tells her bluntly that if she fails then they all die. He tells her to start training as she only has a week to learn to control her magic for the journey. He witnesses her controlling her magic after training all week and cannot help but crack a smile.

Yami treats Noelle like he treats most of the Magic Knights under his command, with tough love. He does care for her well-being and at one point desperately urges her to run away when Vetto is about to unleash an extremely powerful attack on her, but is relieved to see Asta made it in time to dispel it. Yami is the one to initiate the plan to save Noelle after she loses control of her magic, throwing Asta towards her as he is the only who can stop it. He tries to give her sincere advice about how to deal with issues she has that holds her back. He is pleasantly surprised about the strength of her Sea Dragon's Roar, suspecting she has gone past her limit, heeding the motto he preaches.

Vanessa Enoteca
Noelle has developed a sisterly bond with Vanessa Enoteca. The two care for each other deeply, with Vanessa comforting Noelle after Asta saves her when she loses control of her magic, telling her she will find a way to help her control her powers. She stays true to her desire to help Noelle and takes her to the black market in Kikka to get her a wand to channel her magic through. Noelle is grateful for the wand Vanessa gets her and uses it in combat regularly.

The two are often seen chatting together, and tend to attract unwanted attention from men, with both of them rejecting each approach outright, such as Sekke and, later, his two friends, Aphro and Phati. The day before the Black Bull go to the beach Vanessa takes Noelle bikini shopping and helps her with her outfit, unaware that Noelle is looking for a bikini that will attract Asta's attention. Vanessa tries to support Noelle as often as she can, such as when Noelle starts training to control her magic spell, Sea Dragon's Cradle, and Vanessa, as well the other Black Bull members, can be seen cheering her on, which reassures Noelle as she successfully learns to control her magic spell.

Vanessa has faith in Noelle's capabilities in battle and is the one to compliment her Sea Dragon's Roar attack that she performed, for the first time, on Vetto. In turn, Noelle respects Vanessa as her superior and will listen to orders she is given by her. The two tend to work well together in battle. They both share an unwavering belief in Asta, and at one point resolve to stand by him as he tries to subdue Fana with Mars, believing that he will succeed.

Such is Vanessa's bond with Noelle, she was able to summon a spirit, the Red Thread of Fate, in a form of a cat, when Asta, under the control of the Witch Queen, is about to attack and kill Noelle. The spirit is able to continuously nullify each of Asta's attacks to protect Noelle. She is then able to defeat the Witch Queen which leads to Noelle tearfully embracing her in celebration.

Magna Swing
Noelle's first interaction with Magna got off to a hostile start. Magna was showing Asta around until the pair bumped into Noelle, with Magna quickly getting into an argument due to Noelle's sense of superiority over him because of her royal status. Magna is sometimes on the receiving end of Noelle's water attacks that are intended for Asta, but end up hitting him because of her inability to control her magic, but blames Magna for standing in the wrong place.

Regardless, the two actually care for each other and recognise one another as comrades. Magna has shown faith in Noelle's abilities and supports her, along with the other Black Bull members, when she trains to control her magic spell at the beach. He tries to reassure her after she is saved by Asta when she loses control of her powers for the first time. Magna believes in his duty, as her superior, to help her as much as possible, and supervises her on her first mission, alongside Asta. He takes charge on this mission when the three are forced to defend Sosshi village from Heath Grice, doing his best to protect Noelle, as well as Asta.

He is impressed with her magical power and was grateful for Noelle successfully being able to protect him, as well as the villagers, in a magic spell to block incoming attacks. Despite her personal problems, he has faith in Noelle to perform her duties to the fullest and never doubts her. Their relationship is often defined by their argumentative personalities, with Noelle always falling back on her royal status, despite Magna being her superior. Ultimately, neither of them never take anything they say to each other to heart. He is crushed when he sees that Noelle, as well as Asta and Luck, have been selected to the Royal Knights squad over him, and uses this failure to find his resolve to become stronger.

Rebecca Scarlet
Noelle develops a slight rivalry with Rebecca Scarlet over Asta, though she does not admit it and she is willing to reassure Rebecca about her missing siblings.

Kahono
Kahono is one of Noelle's friends, who also helped her control her magic. After the events of the Witches’ Forest, Asta gave her and Kiato a potion to heal them and she was happy to speak to Noelle again. Sometimes, Noelle gets irritated with Kahono's teasing and flirting with Asta.

Kiato
Noelle has a friendly relationship with Kiato due to him being Kahono's brother, though she is unaware of his infatuation with her.
