Noir (anime)/Characters

	This page needs some cleaning up to be presentable. Some or all of these characters need descriptions. A list of tropes is not a description.

Kirika Yuumura

Voiced by: Houko Kuwashima (JP), Monica Rial (EN)

• Action Girl: And how.^[context?]
• Anti-Hero: Type IV
• Badass Adorable: Can I take her home with me?
• Cry Cute: Especially Episode 25. Break my heart, I prithee break. Sniff Sniff...
• Dark Messiah: What Kirika-chan basically becomes when she attains the legendary mantle of "The True Noir."
• Enfant Terrible
• Emotionless Girl: She isn't truly an emotionless girl, just simply having a hard time expressing her emotions until near the end, when her "real" personality takes over
• Expy: Let's see... she's an assassin, she has amnesia, she's hunted by the orginization she belongs to, and she kills people with items that are SUPPOSED to be harmless. Sound like Jason Bourne to me.
• Good Eyes, Evil Eyes: When she gets Hellish Pupils, it's very bad.
• Improbable Aiming Skills: Even Revolver Ocelot would think twice fighting this cutie.
• Kung Fu Jesus - She is basically viewed as a savior by the superstitious followers of Soldats: An Invincible Warrior destined to destroy evil and injustice in the world.
• Laser-Guided Amnesia
• Moe: She may be a professional killer, but you still want to hug her.
• Oblivious to Love: Seemingly towards Chloe. It might just have been because she was in "True Noir" state but the fact that Chloe kisses her on the lips while they were both completely naked and gets no reaction whatsoever points to this.
• One Girl Army: Makes you wonder if she has Saiyajin blood in her.
• Rei Ayanami Expy
• Tyke Bomb: Was about five when she killed Mirielle's family
• Waif Fu: Not as bad as some examples, but she does pull off some pretty impressive stunts.

Mireille Bouquet

Voiced by: Kotono Mitsuishi (JP), Shelley Calene-Black (EN)

• Action Girl
• Anti-Hero: Type V
• Badass Normal: Compared to the other candidates for the title of Noir.
• Blondes Are Evil: For a given definition of "evil" but she probably would be considered such by most normal people due to her occupation, though given the Black and Gray Morality of the show in the end most agree she ends up more on the Gray side.
• Blue Eyes
• Can't Catch Up: Compared to the impossibly skilled Kirika and Chloe, even though by normal standards she's still a badass and not someone you cross.
• Combat Stilettos: Not as unrealistic as some examples, but her boots still have decent heels on them.
• Cool Shades: Tragically, she only wears them in one episode.
• Defrosting Ice Queen
• Kuudere
  • Love Redeems
• Mafia Princess: Was one as a child, but it doesn't appear that she knew.
• Magic Skirt: Many cosplayers will attest to the impossibility of replicating Mirielle's short skirt without flashing people.
• Phenotype Stereotype: A blond, blue eyed Corsican isn't impossible, but it's not very likely either.
• Strong Family Resemblance: To her mother Odette. This ends up being a plot point
• Younger Than They Look: According to the series timeline Mirielle is at most 20 during the show, while most people guess that she's a good deal older.

Chloe

Voiced by: Aya Hisakawa (JP), Hillary Haag (EN)

• Action Girl
• Anti-Hero: Type V
• Green-Eyed Monster: Becomes blatant in episode 25 when she screams about how "it should have been me!" with Kirika and tries to Murder the Hypotenuse and goes after Mirielle.
• Gray Eyes
• Implausible Hair Color: In a series of realistic hair colors, she stands out by having purple hair.
• Implausible Fencing Powers: She is to knives what Kirika-chan is to guns.
• One Girl Army
• Psycho Lesbian: One interpretation of her character.
• Unlucky Childhood Friend: Becomes especially apparent when she kisses Kirika and Kirika does not react at all.

Altena

Voiced by: TARAKO (JP), Tiffany Grant (EN)

• Affably Evil
• Anti-Villain or Complete Monster: Depending on your interpretation she's either one of the two, either or both.
• Broken Bird
• The Chessmaster
• Dark Messiah: "If love can slay, then hatred can save the world."
• Dissonant Serenity: One thing that makes her so frightening.
• Evil Redhead: Arguable
• Knight Templar
• My Death Is Just the Beginning: One interpretation of the ending, especially since if you look really close at her face while she's falling to her death you can see that she's smiling.
• Purple Eyes
• Rape as Drama
• Villains Out Shopping: Her first few appearances show her tending to her grapes and writing letters without any dialog. It gives an extremely sinister feel to her even before she does anything.
• Visionary Villain
• Yamato Nadeshiko: A very dark take on the trope.

Silvana Greone "Intoccabile"

Voiced by: Yumi Touma (JP), Heather Le Master (EN)

• Creepy Child: Her idea of "playing" as a kid is running at Mirielle with a knife.
• Dissonant Serenity
• Kiss of Death: Gives one to Mirielle.
• Knife Nut
• Lady of War: A villainous version
• Mafia Princess
• Peek-a-Bangs
• Pure Is Not Good: One translation of "Intoccabile" is "the inviolate" "the untouchable" or "the pure", but Silvana is anything but good.
• Psycho Lesbian: Possibly

Shao Li

Voiced by: Urara Takano (JP), Kelly Manison (EN)

• Acquired Poison Immunity
• Dragon Lady
• You Have Outlived Your Usefulness
• Wolverine Claws: Her fingernails are actually her weapon
