==Summary==
Noire (ノワール, Nowāru), also known as Black Heart (ブラックハート, Burakku Hāto), is the Guardian Goddess of Lastation, a nation residing on the continent of Gamindustri, and a primary protagonist of the Hyperdimension Neptunia franchise.
At the beginning of Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Noire is shown to be fighting against an enemy known as CFW Magic alongside Neptune after Gamindustri was put under the threat of the Deity of Sin, whom CFW Magic, along with the entirety of ASIC, or the Arfoire Syndicate of International Crime, are devoted to reviving. After her defeat by CFW Magic, she, the rest of the Goddesses, as well as the Goddess Candidate of Planeptune, Nepgear, were all captured and were confined in the Gamindustri Graveyard for three years. Eventually, the Goddesses would all get rescued thanks to the efforts of the Goddess Candidates and the Makers, and later, would go on to help Nepgear defeat the Deity of Sin, and bring peace back to GamindustriHyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth 2 (2014).
As the Goddess of Lastation, Noire holds the responsibility of protecting the nation, and in return, she earns their faith, which is then converted into Share Energy, making her stronger.
Noire's personality can be summed up into one word: tsundere. She is very polite and generally respectful to everyone and puts her entire being into everything she does. However, she often tries to brush aside the help of others due to only wanting to do things alone, refusing their aid unless she has no choice. She only wants to bring improvement for the better, but she tries too hard and ends up either letting her efforts go to waste or simply making herself ill. Despite that, however, she is shown to have a caring side of herself. She felt the most grief over the (temporary) loss of Neptune, whom she considers to be her best friend, and even started to cry and tear up after saving her. She also expresses her care for her younger sister, Uni, and was shown to become slightly unstable after being told off by her.
As a Goddess, Noire can undergo a phenomenon known as Hard Drive Divinity and transform into her HDD Form, Black Heart. As Black Heart, her strength boosts dramatically from her previous form, allowing her to defeat enemies that would have otherwise proved troublesome for her Human Form. Even further than that, Black Heart can use the Hyper Share Crystal to transform into an even greater state, the Next Form. As Next Black (ネクストブラック, Nekusuto Burakku), she becomes a lot calmer and acts largely the same as her prior form. The Next Form is currently Noire's most powerful form, and is rarely ever seen.
Noire is the personification of PlayStation home consoles.

Intelligence: 
Above Average normally, Gifted combatant (Noire has shown to have proficiency in her swordfighting, a form of combat she has been doing for many years. She is incredibly nimble, as she was able to continously evade the Lastation army, causing them to lose sight of her entirely and safely making her way to the heart of Lastation, even when they had brought in reinforcements to ensure that she doesn't escape, had the area completely surrounded, and found a piece of cloth that tipped the soldiers off. Fought and defeated K-Sha twice in battle; K-Sha is a highly militaristically skilled soldier, having been tutored by the Order ever since she was young to be an elite soldier, demonstrating expertise over her arsenal of weapons. In the first fight, Noire had defeated Gold Form K-Sha alone in her HDD Form, with Noire admitting that K-Sha was stronger than her, and K-Sha saying that she would give it her all before the fight began. In the second fight, she and Uni defeated Gold Form K-Sha, and both of them were in their Human Forms despite the large strength gap with K-Sha's Gold Form being boosted by the Gold Crystal. She can lead her own armies into battle when necessarySisters VS Sisters - Chapter 2. Whilst Noire was corrupted, she was able to fight against the party of VII alongside the other corrupted Goddesses up to that point, which was comprised of 12 members. Most of the party consists of skilled fighters who have shown to be able to outclass or match each other in combat, including K-Sha, Nepgear (who has shown to be similarly proficient in combat as Neptune, being able to defeat other Goddesses such as Uni and Rom and Ram, as well as defeat CFW Magic twice over, whom could easily defeat the four Guardian Goddesses as well as an entire party (which consists of characters such as MarvelousAQL and Hyper Dimension Falcom) with little to no effort), C-Sha (a true martial artist who was able to take on Blanc and eventually win, as well as Rom and Ram, fighting the latter two at the same time), the Ultra Dimension Neptune (a proficient swordfighter who was capable of battling against both Nepgear and Vert without putting in too much effort, being there simply to stall the twoVII - Hyper Dimension Neptunia G: The Golden Leaders, Reconstructors of Gamindustri - Vert's Story), Uzume (a naturally talented fighter, demonstrating implicitly comparable dexterity and battle prowess to Neptune, alongside being able to frequently clash with and consistently live against the Dark Goddess and routinely fending off the monsters of Zero Dimension for several years, being Zero Dimension's only proper fighter, with a concept established as early as mk2 that fighting with raw power alone is an unviable fighting strategy in real combatHyperdimension Neptunia mk2 (2011)), and more. It's highly probable that each Goddess fought more than one character at a time. More skilled and experienced than her younger sister due to being older.
In Sisters VS Sisters, she has shown the capability to defeat the "Mecha Doll", "Mecha Peacekeeper", and "Battle Goddess" enemies, where they are mentioned to have the battle data of a Goddess installed in themSisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Mecha Doll (PN-NP), have both the battle data and greater mobility through their wingsSisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Mecha Peacekeeper (PN-NP), or are stated to have both the battle data and is "the ultimate autonomous soldier which passed all tests with flying colors"Sisters VS Sisters - Enemy Library, Battle Goddess (PN-NP). Additionally, these Mecha enemies have even shown the same exact fighting style as the Goddess they imitate due to sharing the same motions of attacks as the Goddesses they imitate. This would include the likes of herself, Neptune, Blanc, and all of the other Goddesses given there are multiple Mecha Doll, Peacekeeper, and Goddess entities; one such example is the "Mecha Doll PN-NG" enemy, with the "PN-NG" standing for "Planeptune-Nepgear", meaning that the specified Mecha Doll has the battle data and combat style of Nepgear. Noire has demonstrated the ability to defeat multiple of these Mecha enemies at once on their own, such as in the Arena, where several fights contain these enemies in batches or lonesome, up to a maximum of 6 enemies, with one such fight containing two Battle Goddesses, which would realistically show more combat proficiency and skill than the standard Mecha Dolls and Mecha Peacekeepers as a result of them "[passing] all tests with flying colors"Neptunia: Sisters VS Sisters (2022))
Weaknesses: Noire tries to do things without the help of others, leading to her jumping into action alone. As Black Heart, she sometimes acts very cocky and doesn't take her opponent very seriously unless it is a battle she can possibly lose. Her Share Energy is able to be cancelled out with large amounts of Negative Energy.
Notable Attacks/Techniques: <tabber>
|-|Techniques=
*Hard Drive Divinity (HDD): Utilizing a sufficient level of power gained from the faith of her people, Noire can transform into Black Heart in order to enjoy higher overall stats.
*Next Form: Whilst already in Hard Drive Divinity, and utilizing the power of the Hyper Share Crystal, Noire can transform into an "evolved" version of their HDD form. It has been stated that no other HDD form in existence has come even close to this level of power.
*Sharing Field: Noire uses Share Energy to create a temporary pocket dimension which is able to contain and weaken the powers of whoever is trapped inside it.
