Noire (Hyperdimension Neptunia)

Noire is one of the main characters from the Hyperdimension Neptunia series.
== Charactah Account ==
The Console Patron Unit (CPU) of Lastation. Due to her constant struggle to be the perfect role model, she can sometimes be a little harsh to her sister, Uni. She still finds a way to fulfill her dreams as she has faked her information to become a voice actress and cosplays as her hobby.
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. 
Noire is somewhat of a glass cannon and a lightning bruiser. Noire fights with a fencer stance with her rapiers and one-handed longswords, and sometimes uses a pistol in battle.

== Trivia ==
* Noire constantly says she "only does everything", referencing PlayStation's old slogan, "It only does everything."
* Noire shares a striking resemblance from Azusa from K-On! and even makes references to her and it's implied that she had learn to play the guitar from watching K-On!
** She also resembles Kooh from Pangya, a golfing MMO game.
* The diamond that Ultra Dimension Noire wears on her bow is a reference to the Sony Computer Entertainment Logo.
* In the 2011 popularity poll, Noire earned first place, beating out both Neptune and Nepgear, the two main characters in the series as of the time of the poll (Noire would soon become the main heroine in her own spin-off title).
** In the 2014 popularity poll that was won by Blanc, Noire earned the fifth place, losing to Blanc and Neptune among others.
* In the first game, Noire (as Black Heart) makes a reference to Sailor Moon by saying, "In the name of Basilicom, I will punish you!", but she deems it not a good catchphrase and continues to think of a better one.
* Noire hates being called an assistant. This is shown in a DLC event when MAGES. calls Noire an assistant, who in turn screams really loud at MAGES., saying that she's not an assistant. This is most likely a reference to Kurisu Makise from the visual novel/anime Steins;Gate, who shares the same voice actress as Noire in the Japanese version.
* She was the only goddess not to imply that she played video games. Although she can be found with the occasional game controller or device, such as the Wii remote in the manga, or at the beginning of Re;Birth3.
* Black Heart was the only goddess whose hair received a re-style between games. Starting with Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory and after, she is shown with her hair in pigtails.
* In Hyperdimension Neptunia Victory, the anime, along with the former's remake, a running gag involves Neptune or another character falling from the sky and landing on Noire, much to her annoyance. This gag also makes a return in Hyperdimension Neptunia: Producing Perfection when a small monster lands on a top of Noire after she cleared out the dungeon.
* In the first three games, Black Heart's Japanese voice is either much higher than Noire's or is mostly the same, while the other CPUs gain deeper voices after transforming. Since Producing Perfection, Black Heart's voice became deeper. In later games and in the anime, Black Heart's voice has become deeper over the years and it has got a more consistent pitch starting by the remakes.
* Ultra Dimension Black Heart's Processor Unit resembles the design of the original PlayStation.
* Not counting characters that had different voice actors in the anime, Noire is the third character to have a new English voice actress, the first two being 5pb. and Vert.
** Due to a voice actor strike, Erin Fitzgerald, the original voice of Noire, left Idea Factory before the dubbing of Cyberdimension Neptunia: 4 Goddesses Online started, so Idea Factory replaced her with Erica Mendez as Noire's new English Voice Actor.
