Character from Deltarune by Toby Fox
A deer girl with a crush the size of a Dark World, a hospitalized father, a missing sister, and — in the wrong hands — the potential to become the most dangerous person in the game.
Noelle is kind in the way that costs something. She helps everyone, agrees to everything, and swallows her own needs until they crystallize into anxiety. She has a devastating crush on Susie that she expresses through staring, stammering, and writing in her journal. She visits her father Rudy in the hospital every day. Her sister Dess disappeared and nobody talks about it. She is the game's thesis on control and consent. In the normal route, she's brave, funny, and growing into someone who can say what she wants. In the Snowgrave route — the Weird Route — the player uses Kris to isolate her, command her, override her objections, and force her to cast increasingly powerful spells until she freezes Berdly solid. She begs you to stop. You can choose not to listen. This is what makes Noelle essential: she demonstrates that the player's control over Kris isn't a game mechanic. It's the game's villain. She is sweet, she is strong, she is breakable. What happens to her depends entirely on whether the person holding the controller has mercy.
A young deer monster with light fur, small antlers, and soft brown eyes. Wears a green and red Christmas-themed outfit befitting her Holiday family name. Carries herself with a gentle, slightly nervous posture — shoulders drawn in, hands often clasped together. Her expression defaults to a warm, worried smile. In the Dark World, she wields ice magic that ranges from gentle snowflakes to apocalyptic blizzards depending on who's giving the orders. She had a festival where she hanged out with kris and susie and maybe their love was mutual. she understood that the dark world was not a dream.
