**Noa**, or **Noah**,[a] is a young merrow princess and the daughter of Reeldole, the merrow queen and tutelary deity of Reel.

## Personality

Being a merrow herself, she is impertinent to humans and prefers not to be involved with them. However, she would repay anyone who helped her and would not stay indebted for too long.

## Appearance

### Child

She was a short girl with shoulder-length hair tied with a bunny ear-shaped ribbon. Her clothing consisted of a cloak bearing the trident insignia of Reel which appears to be anchored by a pair of moons, dark underwear, thigh highs, and slip-on shoes.

### Adult

After completing the crystal ball, she is aged into an adult. She is now taller, her hair now at mid-back length, has pointy ears, larger bust, and wider waist and hip.

She is completely naked in her merrow form with the exception of her bunny ear-shaped ribbon, while donning an outfit similar to her previous one in her human form.

## Biography

100 years ago, her mother was tricked and shackled at the bottom of a shrine with a crystal ball as a key. The crystal ball was shattered and scattered. She would spent the next hundred years searching for the shards.

On the night she first met Youta, she was still searching for the last shard with her bloodied hands which concerned Youta to ask her. She responded in confusion and asked him to leave her alone, then leaves. She would meet him again on another night, but this time along with the guardians, under the suspicion she was the monster who ate humans to which immediately denies and demanded Youta to leave. Youta believed her and offered to help her, to which she reluctantly rejected his and then immediately changes her mind in desperation. Seeing how serious the humans were helping her, she gradually changed her perspective of them with tears of gratitude. With efforts came to fruition when a shard was found, she nervously pieces back with the others but realizes it wasn't complete and they were still missing another one which easily depresses her. However, Youta assures her their continued help which cheers her up.

A few days later, no shard was found and admits on giving up by thanking everyone for helping her. But is convinced by Youta and Tia not to give up hope.

On the night before the low tide, she had a secret discussion with Pinako. Still grateful, she gives her thanks again and is comforted by Tia. As the low tide came, she rushes for her mother (now a skeleton) and vows to rescue her. When her mother had reawakened, she was able to talk for her a short moment and would give the remaining time to Youta in exchange for helping her. As the water started to rise, she reaches out to her mother only to be pushed back by the barrier and cries for losing her again. During the battle with Kai, she acted as an observer by providing critical information to Youta and the guardians. After Kai's defeat, Youta found the final shard left behind by Kai and she receives it from him.  By completing her crystal ball, she is transformed into a mermaid and was able to rescue her mother. Before departing with her mother, she bids farewell to Youta and the guardians and declared that she doesn't actually humans and she will never forget to them.

She would return again to repay her debt to Youta, who was currently stranded at sea, but she had to wait while he was mating which irritated her. Youta had noticed that she had grown to which she felt pleased for a moment and immediately averted her gaze. Not liking the feeling of being indebted to a human, she repays it by summoning a storm which consequently destroys the ship.
