**Cher Noble**is a warforged juggernaut paladin, sworn to protect the life of a child in her care, Chaz. She has become an ally of Booty and the Hofish and the Golden Palace during the Siege of the Kracken on Fire Island.

## History

Cher Noble was built from metal, roots, and vines and brought to life in the town of Elbowdeep by the Army of the Fist. She was designated Grinder Unit 108. She abandoned this name and her purpose of destroying in order to protect a child, Chaz. Taking the name Cher Noble, in honor of the goddess Cher, she adopted Chaz as her son.

Chaz loved stories of Trixie LaBouche, so Cher Noble booked a trip to visit LaBouche Gardens. Their ship stopped in Watersport on Fire Island, where Chaz became sick. During his recovery, the island fell under Siege by the Kracken. Seaspawn attacked Watersport, followed by looters. Cher Noble took shelter beneath the apothecary and set up traps to protect them. Then devils moved into the area, and oozes left behind by their experiments were hers to clean up.

One night she met Fraya Love and Harlotte O'Scara, who were part of a team to collect documents from the Town Hall. In exchange for them taking her and Chaz back to the Golden Palace, she agreed to help them.

After a long, drawn out battle in the library of Town Hall, the group escaped to recover in a hideout Cher Noble had been using. After they began to head south across the island, the queens left their new friends and Cher Noble and Chaz made it to the Golden Palace alone. The survivors at the casino were glad for reinforcements as they had taken a beating recently by seaspawn.

Cher Noble has remained at the palace, continuing to offer services in protection of the place. She has watched Chaz grow closer with Jo, daughter of the casino's owner Belfry Ramshackle. Belfry often let Chaz play with Jo and a lot of Trixie LaBouche merchandise in Belfry's office.

One night, Cher Noble was on guard duty on the beach when Londyn Bradshaw in centaur form arrived. Cher Noble did not recognize her, and tried to detain her which led to a pursuit through the Golden Palace. After Londyn used wild shape to become a worm like creature and hid inside Cher Noble's armor, the paladin pursued a strange reading she detected. She discovered that Jo and Chaz had triggered a Kracken altar in the casino vault.

Cher Noble was determined to do whatever she could to rescue Chaz, despite orders from Belfry Ramshackle, casino owner, to not take action. When Cher Noble disregarded those orders, and knocked over Belfry's daughter Jo in the process of reaching Chaz, Belfry revealed knowledge of command protocols that deactivated Cher Noble.

When Cher Noble regained consciousness, she learned Londyn had somehow taken control of her systems and taken her body to the beach where a portal to hell threatened to engulf the island. Learning Chaz was still in danger, Cher Noble tried to reassert control when the Glamazons, including Rigo arrived. He convinced Londyn to give up control of Cher Noble, who fled to the penthouse to protect Chaz and Jo from sharks. Once the kids were saved by Sir Throbardon, Cher Noble joined others in heading to the back to the vault to stop Barb from sending the island to Phlegethos. There she saw Londyn and Fraya take control of the ritual. Cher Noble blamed herself, built for destruction, believing she had somehow made things worse.

## Behind the Queens

* Cher Noble's race and class were chosen via poll as part of a reward to Kickstarter and Patreon backers. Other possible races were an orc or dragonborn. Other possible classes were fighter or barbarian.
* This backer selection influenced the character. Initially the idea was for this character be a survivor who laid traps all over Watersport. Warforged Paladin changed the character to a protector. This allowed the DMs to bring in something they wanted to see in the show: A queer family.
* Cher Noble was named by Kickstarter backer Kate.
