Noelle

Noelle was the only daughter of Lance and his wife Liza, but Liza died shortly after her birth. Not six years later, Noelle was killed in a tragic accident involving an injured wild Charizard, and her death weighs heavily on her family members up through the present day. 

However, there’s another version of Noelle running about, an adult one. This Noelle is a Faller from a universe where Liza never died, Draco was never born, and she herself never even met the Charizard that killed her in this world. Faller Noelle arrived in this world when she was 23, about three years before the start of the main timeline and had a pretty rough start to her new life. With barely any memories and strange creatures following her and causing chaos, Noelle was sure she was in some kind of nightmare. About six months after her Fall, Interpol was able to track her down and get her the help she needed. Noelle joined them as an agent and initially worked in their UB department, which was where their other primary Faller agent, Anabel, worked. While on a mission in Hoenn, Noelle met Draco for the first time. Draco figured out somewhat quickly who she was, but being Draco didn’t say anything and just acted shifty until Noelle approached him. When she found out they were family, she pretty much demanded to go to Johto so she could meet her father. Lance was stunned to see his daughter all grown up, and Noelle actually recovered a few memories about her father after reuniting with him. After this, she does her best to stay in touch, even though she knows that Lance and Draco aren’t her ‘real’ family, they’re all she has.

Eventually, Noelle ends up investigating this AUs primary antagonists, Team Mythic, who are trying to exploit magical beings to use their power to create weapons and black market magitech. Noelle, along with other Interpol agents, works to infiltrate their bases and take them down. As a demigod, Noelle makes the perfect bait, since she’s the type of person they would want to capture and experiment on. She wouldn’t be the first either, since Noriko, Fei, and Evgeny are all captives of this team and are being used to study magic and how it manifests in divine beings like them. By being intentionally captured, Noelle can dismantle their operations from the inside, rescue captives, and gain valuable information. It’s a rough job, but she wouldn’t trade it for anything, since helping others is so important to her.

As a side note, Noelle is meant to be a foil to my other Faller kid, Ohia, who Fell as a child and quickly found a place to live and a new family. His missing memories barely bother him and he actually doesn’t like people bringing up his Faller status. He and Noelle are somewhat rivals as a result.
