Noel

"*It’s ok! Even if everybody else thinks I’m a bad kid, I’m still your brother. You won’t abandon me, right?*"

**Noel** is one of the minor characters in Candy Series and the younger brother of Norman. He made an early bird cameo in A Class Effort: Leadership and his official debut in Brotherly Bother: Responsibility.

## Biography

### A Class Effort: Leadership

Noel was first introduced with a non-speaking role in A Class Effort. He could be seen standing among the crowd of students (noticeably standing in line with his class) as he listened to the Headmaster's speech of the upcoming school bazaar.

### Brotherly Bother: Responsibility

Noel made his official debut in Book 21. When Norman had prepared breakfast for the family, he caught Noel, who attempted to sneak out of the house unbeknownst. Norman then wanted him to bring his lunchbox to school, which Noel greatly refused.

Noel's refusal did not seem to bother Norman however. During the school's lunchtime, Norman proceeded to Noel's class and seek to pass his lunchbox to him there. Upon seeing his brother constantly urging him to have his lunchbox, Noel furiously argued back and tossed the lunchbox onto the ground as all the contents inside spilled out. Their argument soon attracted a crowd as they looked at Noel in disdain. Embarrassed during the moment, Noel escaped to avoid further commotion while Norman was left behind cleaning the spilled food on the ground. While Noel was running, he accidentally bumped into Candy JEM, whom he, without a moment of thought, dismissed them as "old hags" and continued running.

Sometime later at the evening, due to the lack of soy sauce, Norman was unable to cook dinner for the family. Noel then volunteered to go and buy the needed item for Norman as he borrowed money from the latter and proceeded to the nearby store to buy. When Noel reached the store, he spotted Joni, who was as equally surprised and annoyed by the opposite's presence as he was. Trying to avoid awkwardness, Noel demanded for the soy sauce, only to be dissed by Joni as she refused to serve him. Irritated by Joni's behavior, Noel proceeded to a nearby row of baskets that were filled with beans and scrambled them together, creating a mess. He then left the store as Joni frantically tried to sort the beans back in place.

### Stress-busters: Stress Management

Joni questions Norman on how he is able to handle stress especially since Noel is very disobient.

### Believe in Yourself: Life Skills

On his first day of school, Noel was wearing clothes that violated the school's dress code and got caught by his brother, Norman and Harry who were the new hygiene monitors of Sacred Hearts Primary School at the entrance. After school, Noel arrived home and was seen wearing different clothing. His father, Ned, then told him that he was accused of throwing Pockey's shoes into the drain and caused the school's drain to be blocked, as stated by his homeroom teacher. Noel was really nervous and told his father that he didn't do that on purpose. His father also told him to apologize to the classmate tomorrow. After that, Noel and his family were having a feast together.

## Appearance

Noel bears a striking resemblance to his father. He has narrow black eyes and scruffy black hair which are kept in strands jutting in every direction; and the front and the back tuft slicked upwards.

Similar to other characters, Noel does not consistently wear the same clothing but he was seen wearing a black choker on his neck and black bands on his wrists throughout the events of Brotherly Bother: Responsibility.

In Season 2 Noel has his bangs completely slicked back to reveal his entire forehead, although he later combed down his bangs to cover his forehead again and he wore a white shirt that was torn at the torso, a grey belt and black pants. He also adorned himself with various accessories including a spiked choker, a black band on his left wrist, a studded bracelet on his right wrist and rings on his right index and little finger. He also painted his nails black and he carried a punkish looking sling bag with him.

## Personality

Noel is portrayed as a rebellious, disrespectful and rude youth. Often going against the rules in school and was even bold enough to speak vulgar language to the discipline mistress.
