The Goddess of Lastation. Her temperament is very serious (some may even say it's elitist) and she's able to do things on her own. She does, however, have a little trouble opening up to those close to her. Due to the peculiar nature of her personality, she is sometimes suspected of being... lonely. However, she happens to have many friends to play games with and really isn't ever lonely at all, of course. Her hobby of choice is cosplay, although she hides this from others. She spends her time in 4 Goddesses Online exploring costume ideas.
She has chosen the Black Knight class. As a powerful, offense-oriented type of character, her only skills are those that specialize in close combat. [1]
Profile
Appearance
Noire's figure remains the same in all her appearances, with her slender teen figure and her long pigtails. However, her attire is that of a black sleeveless dress with red outlines and black armor on top. She has black gauntlets on her arms and black greaves reaching up to her thighs. Underneath her greaves are kneesocks. On her hair are black and red ribbons with a flower in the center.
Personality
Noire, in a word, is tsundere. She is a girl who thinks highly of herself and strives to be number one in everything she does. Noire often does and say things but tries to play it off as if there is no more meaning behind her actions. It is possible that she is a very caring person at heart but masks it with snobby, arrogant attitude in the hopes people will not see through her facade.
Story
Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online
Noire and Blanc logs in to 4 Goddesses Online to find Neptune. Noire notices that Neptune is early and she did not think that Neptune would be the first one logged in. Blanc notes that no one is ever late for a new game. Neptune praises Blanc's priest outfit. Noire wonders what Neptune thinks about her outfit. Neptune notices that Noire is a Black Knight, a rival to her paladin class. She teases Noire for going for the rival theme. Noire tells her that is not the case but she will never lose to Neptune in games.
Vert then logs in as the Enchanter class, the only class to bestow attributes to players depending on the situation. Neptune observes that Noire and Vert have switched the weapons, they wield in real life. Vert notices that everyone did change but with all the balance of their classes, they will be a splendid party.
With the initial dialogue out of the way, Neptune decides to introduce everyone else to the player. After she is done, Noire asks Neptune who she is talking to and gets annoyed as she heard Neptune mention something about being lonely. Blanc is annoyed with her description while Vert is excited with her description. Neptune gets worried and tells the girls that this was their imagination. Noire does not buy it. Neptune quickly shifts the party's focus to the tutorial and runs off. Noire chases her.
Vert takes the time to appreciate the fact that while they normally compete they can work together in this game. Vert tells them the party shares a common destiny and no one should go off and solo.
Noire thinks Vert would be the first one to go solo. Blanc and Neptune agrees. Vert assures them for this one time, she will not concern herself with rank or completion. She will sincerely explore the world, make new friends and tell others about the game as this is her responsibility of being granted early-access by the 4 Goddesses Online management.
Blanc and Neptune are shocked. Noire thinks playing casually is good for once and respects Vert for her decision. Vert thanks Noire and thinks they should now all enjoy themselves. This episode of 4 Goddesses Online takes place in a different world.
At the event tutorial point, A NPC arrives and introduces herself as Bouquet, a guardian spirit, Royal Geist. She is sent by the Goddesses to guide them. Bouquet begins to explain the story of the world but Vert grabs her and embraces her. She asks Bouquet to be her little sister. Bouquet notes that her vision is blocked by the "bouncy bouncy". Noire pulls Vert back and tells her to stop as she is giving the poor girl a nosebleed.
Blanc can't stand the "bouncy bouncy" remark but she notices that Bouquet reacted in real time to Vert's actions. She wonders how this is possible. Vert explains that the features of this game is an advanced communication AI that can learn. Neptune summarizes her understanding of this as the ability to converse with NPCs in real time and finds that cool. Noire notes that this is Planeptune's tech and asks Neptune why she isn't aware of that.
Neptune was unaware of that but since Planeptune's technology is number one, it really is not surprising. Noire claims that Planeptune is only ahead in that field, Lastation has beat everywhere else. Blanc defends Lowee. Vert reminds the girls that the real world is irrelevant.
Bouquet has a nosebleed. She has never experienced the "bouncy bouncy" and notes that they cannot be taken lightly. Neptune wonders if Bouquet is okay and scolds Vert for her earlier actions. Vert whines and defends her actions. Noire calms Vert down and urges everyone to listen to Bouquet's story.
Bouquet explains that long ago the 4 Goddesses descended from the Divine Realm to an empty world. Purple Heart, the Goddess of Fate, Black Heart, the Goddess of Prosperity, White Heart, the Goddess of Order, and Green Heart, the Goddess of Fertility created Alsgard, home to the World Tree Leanverde aka Tree of Life. That tree is the source of all magic in this world and created all life. 1000 years ago, the Goddesses sealed up the Demon King Jester, who tried to take Leanverde's magic. However, that took a toll of them and Leanverde's restorative magic could not restore the Goddesses. The Goddesses left Sacred Treasures which housed their remaining power and retreated to the Divine Realm to heal.
Before the Goddesses left, they told Bouquet's great great great grandmother, the Royal Geist at the time that "When the world is in danger once again those carrying our blessings shall appear. Grant them the sacred treasures, and call to us. Keep guard of the treasures until that comes". The adventurers before Bouquet are the "Chosen Ones". She requests they gather the Sacred Treasures at Tetyu Temple to revive the 4 Goddesses.
Noire finds it exciting that they can go through a classic fairytale adventure. Now that they know the final boss, Blanc wants to know what they have to do first. Bouquet tells them to head to Wishuel, a city just pass this forest, an adventurer's hub. Afterwards, they should head to Cautlprim Cathedral where the 4 Goddesses are worshiped. Bouquet wishes them all good luck. The forest is to test and train all potential "Chosen Ones". She tells them to learn at their own pace to navigate Alsgard and says her goodbyes.
Vert stops Bouquet to ask her if they will meet again. Bouquet explains that her mission is to guide adventurers who can be the "Chosen Ones". If they are the "Chosen Ones", they will meet again in the Cathedral.
Vert is happy to hear that and hopes to deepen their friendship. Bouquet tells Vert to go easy on her. Noire apologizes on behalf of Vert and tells her not to worry about Vert.
In the forest, Neptune finds the monsters and wants to show off her stuff. Noire warns Neptune not to waste all her energy. If she does, they won't help her. Neptune says Noire can say that but Noire will never keep up with her. That fires up Noire's competitive spirit and she tells Neptune that she will never outgame her in a million years.
Closer, to the end of the forest, Neptune notes that she is getting the hang of the controls. She wonders if everyone is the same but hears a noise. Neptune wonders what it is. Vert thinks it is the tutorial boss. Neptune thinks there is nothing to fear. Vert assures them that even if they used their bare hands, the boss would fall to them. Noire thinks that is great and all but tells them to use their weapons regardless.
The party easily defeats the boss. In Wishuel, Noire notices all the facilities it has and agrees that it is an adventurer's hub. Blanc wants to take a look at the shops and Vert wants to see Bouquet in Cautlprim Cathedral. Neptune wants them to let her pick what to do.
Vert and Neptune enjoy the atmosphere of Wishuel. Vert is glad Neptune likes it and notes that one must be immersed in the environment to spend many hours in the game. Blanc finally understands how addictions occur. Noire thinks Neptune is addicted to 4 Goddesses Online. She tells her the first step to recovery is admitting the problem. Neptune denies her addiction. Blanc thinks it may be too late for Neptune.
Neptune starts to worry that she will end up like Vert. Vert is hurt by the fact everyone thinks it is so bad to be like her. Noire tells Vert to stop with the fake tears. Blanc stops joking around and admits that Wishuel is beautiful and understands how one can pass the time in this game.
Later, Noire wonders what online games everyone has been playing. Neptune has been playing online games largely on her console, as well as 4 Goddesses Online.
Blanc has been playing a MMO based on a well-known RPG, which is well liked by kids because it is easy as well as 4 Goddesses Online.
Noire is happy that the two play a decent amount. She herself has started an RPG after it got its remake. She also plays 4 Goddesses Online but she is busy with affairs in Lastation. Vert has played all the games the other Goddesses mentioned. She even likes World Break Online noting that it was great.
Noire remembers World Break Online, the story of how it all came crashing down. World Break Online had a error during their maintenance causing all services to end. In addition, the company went under. Neptune remembers that all her characters she worked on were all gone. Vert liked World Break Online as much as 4 Goddesses Online yet only memories remain of that game. Vert can't stand remembering that grim day and wants to return to the previous discussion.
Vert notices that everyone has some gaming experience and if they need any help they can rely on her. Getting experience is in gaming is important. Eventually the should naturally acquire the ability to play for 96 hours straight. Noire reminds Vert that is 4 days and asks how does one "naturally acquire" the ability to do that.
At the 4th night, Vert wonders if her real self is in the game and if her real self is just a virtual avatar. Noire wonders what happens to people like Vert when games like World Break Online end. Blanc has heard about people staging protests outside the game company demanding that the game be kept online. Neptune finds that ridiculous as all they need to do is start over in another game. Vert urges them to avoid that topic.
Near a bulletin board, Vert explains that one can request or search for parties, ask for strategies and tips and chat. One can greatly expand their world. Noire thinks they should try to use it to their advantage. Neptune remarks that with this board, even a lonely Noire can make 100 friends. Noire demands Neptune take that back and chases her down.
Later, Noire runs into a mysterious person. The person tries to sell Noire something. Noire asks the person what is on sale. The person offers Noire something anyone would want. Noire begins thinking about what this could mean. The person believes Noire is thinking of the same thing they are thinking of. Noire thinks the person is trying to sell her friends. This confuses the person. Noire thanks the person for their offer but she can never buy friends with money and leaves.
The party heads into the Cathedral. Vert is awe, Noire notices the solemn atmosphere and Blanc feels at home. Neptune points out the statue of the 4 Goddesses. Noire thinks Black Heart has the best balance of charm and elegance. The other Goddesses prefer the Goddess that was based on them.
Noire remarks that the people here definitely worship the Goddesses. Bouquet appears and welcomes the Chosen Ones to Cautlprim Cathedral. Vert is overjoyed to see Bouquet and embraces her. Noire pulls Vert away from Bouquet and asks her to get the event started while Blanc heals Bouquet's nosebleed. Bouquet apologizes. Noire tells her there is no need and asks if they are the Chosen Ones as they have cleared the trial.
Bouquet confirms that they are and explains that to save the world, they need to awaken the four Goddesses. The Goddesses exhaust a great deal of their strength to come to Alsgard. Normally Leanverde would restore them but the damage they sustained from the Demon King could not be healed by Leanverde. They had to return to the Divine Realm but the Demon King cursed them to be unable to wake up if they returned to the Divine Realm.
They need to gather the Sacred Treasures to build a rainbow bridge to the Divine Realm to awaken the 4 Goddesses. The Sacred Treasures, they need are the Amethyst Glass, Black Diamond Sword, Moonstone Hairpin and Emerald Mirror. Those treasures are sealed to prevent misuse and only the Chosen Ones should release the seal. Unfortunately, a powerful dark magic broke the seal and 2 of the Sacred Treasures ended up in the hands of the followers of the Demon King. The alliance of Paladins and Black Knights are attempting to retrieve the treasures but are having difficulty fighting the strong monsters.
Neptune asks for the location of the two treasures that are not stolen. Bouquet tells her they are in Logi Mountain and Yie Ar Forest. Noire wants to go to any one of the two as they are certain to get a Sacred Treasure. Vert chooses Logi Mountain. Blanc asks Vert for her reasons. When Vert hears a mountain, she must climb it. That is what her heart says as well as that is the recommended level progression. Neptune wonders if Vert just has a feeling that there are rare items there. Vert tries to deny that and they should focus on saving Bouquet and this world. Once they get the Sacred Treasures Vert can have her union with Bouquet and all the Goddesses.
Bouquet anxiously wonders what sort of bouncy fate awaits her. Blanc finds all of this ridiculous and hopes Vert is not a bad influence on the AI. Noire promises to control Vert so Bouquet does not have to worry and would appreciate her advice along their adventure. Bouquet accepts Noire's offer and looks forward to their next meeting.
