==Personality==
Noel is a rather aloof person, usually keeping himself at a distance from others when he was a kid, and has a hard time trusting others that weren't his family. He usually makes comments about everything and is really blunt in his opinion sometimes. He can also be rather sarcastic from time to time to tease others, or just cause he doesn't like them.
Like others, he developed a paranoia of walkers from fear of being attacked and killed. From that, he began understanding that he needs to trust any living human that he comes across as they might be his only chance of survival.
He'll usually try to avoid any sort of confrontation with others that might result in the death of him. While he is capable of trusting others, he is only willing to protect someone he deems useful to him, and therefore worth protecting. All in all, he just wants to survive as much as anyone.
==Skills==
*Swordsman- Having learned how to use a sword from Ryuuhei, Noel displays an above average skill and is capable of cutting of a walker's head with a single slash. That's his primary skill to handle zombies. After two years of surviving, Noel's skill with the sword improved greatly, that he believes that he might be on par with Ryuuhei, but doesn't know for sure.
*Hand-to-Hand Combat- Noel only has about average skills in self defense in this area, as he usually practices with his sword, but learned how to defend himself should he be without sword. After meeting with Skylar, she trained him to improve in his hand to hand combat skills, so he could take care of himself even better.
*Marksman- After picking up a gun and using it to kill zombies, Noel can use it, but he doesn't have any real skill with it, as he doesn't use it due to the fact that walkers would be attracted to the sound of it firing. He would only use it as a last resort. After having to use it on more than one occasion, his accuracy and skill in drawing have improved.
*Cooking- Noel learned how to cook when he was younger from is mom, and his skills evolved as time went on. He learned how to make a small meal delicious and filling. After a while of learning to cook more, and experimenting some more recipies, he's got skills to back up his claims of being a chef.
*Observation- From traveling for so long, Noel developed an acute observation skill, especially when he's completely focused. He can spot certain things others might miss, and sometimes understand how a person feels based on their body gestures, though it's not always accurate, and most are just guesses on his part.
==History==
Ever since Noel was young, he was always aloof, and wasn't trustful of others. He had a hard time making friends with others and would usually keep his distance from other people. The only people he was usually close to and would trust were his parents and younger sibling.
When he was 13, he met up with a young man named Ryuuhei Fujiii. The man was searching for people to teach the way of the sword, and for the first time, Noel was interested in the another person. So he decided to train with him, and was taught how to wield a blade, and was even presented a katana by him.
After parting ways with Ryuuhei, Noel trained by himself with it to keep his skills in well form. Entering high school, life became the same as before. However, he younger brother came down with a serious illness and shortly died in his senior year.
However... that was when Noel's life turned upside down. His younger brother became a walker, and killed his parents and turned them into walkers. Noel saw his parents become monsters before his eyes, and panicked. When he was cornered by his former family, Noel did the only thing he could. He attacked and killed them with the blade given to him by Ryuuhei.
Shortly after, Noel began noticing how the entire city was overwhelmed by walkers, and Noel wasn't able to find a single human survivor, and was constantly attacked by walkers. After managing to escape from them, Noel went home and got as much food and supplies and immediately left town to find any survivors.
Along the way, he saw a dead policeman and took his gun from him, thinking it would be useful in his journey. However, it was dangerous as he soon discovered that a single gunshot would attract every walker around, so Noel decided to use the gun only as a very last resort.
As he continued his journey, he kept facing attack after attack, with no sign of any survivors. He began to lose hope and felt that suicide would be better than living a hellish life. But the thought of finding even one human survivor was enough to keep him going, so he continued. During that time, he developed a paranoia for his surroundings, thinking he could be attacked by a walker at any moment, so he keeps his sword and gun close by.
