Hey, Kris! What's up? Didja lose your pencil again?
Noelle to Kris
Noelle Holiday is the tritagonist of Deltarune. She is a Lightner from Hometown and one of Kris's classmates, as well as their neighbor and childhood friend.
She plays a very minor role in Chapter 1, but becomes a major character in Chapter 2, where she temporarily joins the party during Cyber City, wielding a ring. If forced to freeze enemies and become stronger, she will become the deuteragonist of the "Weird Route."
Noelle lives on the northwest side of Hometown with her mother, Carol, and her father, Rudy, who is currently in the hospital with an unnamed disease.
Noelle Holiday is an anthropomorphic reindeer with short brown fur, a red nose, two brown antlers and two ears. She wears a red and green checkered sweater with dark grey sleeves and a dark grey skirt. She also has long blonde hair, and two prominent front teeth. In the dark world, Noelle Holiday is an anthropomorphic reindeer with a more straight face, pale brown fur, antlers and ears, with pale blonde hair, and a longer white robe with wide ample sleeves.
Personality
Noelle is friendly and cheerful, but also very timid, and sometimes has trouble saying what she's thinking. She apologizes often, and stays quiet about her feelings, such as her possible crushes, or her distaste for Berdly, out of fear. Her father says that "everything scares her," and describes her as "defenseless." According to him, she has a fear of humans hiding under her bed. This was made worse (or started) by Kris's repeated attempts to scare her when they were younger, including at least one time they hid under her bed. She shows to be more honest to Kris when it comes to her feelings and often yells at them when they pull pranks on her. She becomes more brave and less fearful from Chapter 2, during the time she spends with Kris in the city.
Main Story
History
Noelle grew up in Hometown with a loving father and a strict mother, and was very close with her older sister, Dess. As a child, Noelle and her sister became friends with her neighbors Kris and Asriel Dreemurr, and the four of them would often explore the forest around the graveyard together. One day, however, an unspecified tragedy occurred, and it is implied that Dess either went missing or died.
Chapter 1
When Kris enters the classroom at school, Noelle offers to let them join her class project group with Berdly. She attempts to ask Alphys for permission but is interrupted by Berdly insisting that she and him are "FINE being alone," and also by Susie's abrupt entrance into class. Later, when Alphys realizes that she is out of chalk to teach that day, Noelle volunteers herself (and Susie) to get some, hinting at her relationship with Susie in future chapters. This too is unsuccessful, as Kris is sent by Alphys to accompany Susie instead. If Kris talks to her prior to leaving the classroom, Noelle tries to comfort them, saying she doesn't think Susie is so bad.
After Kris returns from the Dark World, Noelle can be found visiting her father Rudy in the hospital. Rudy gives his daughter advice on how to confess her feelings to Susie, but she is skeptical of his methods. As she leaves, she is caught off guard when she notices Kris in the doorway.
Noelle voices concern for Kris's well-being, but also acts off-put, or even scared by them. She expresses bewilderment at Kris being so talkative, noting they are usually more of the quiet type. This is presumably due to the fact that Noelle was the only child in class who knew Kris personally before they were possessed by the Player.
Chapter 2
The next day, Noelle attempts to volunteer to read in class, only for Berdly to interrupt her and volunteer instead. After class, Noelle startles Kris and Susie by walking up to them just as they are preparing to enter the Dark World to invite them to study at the library with her and Berdly. Susie awkwardly accepts. If Kris talked to Noelle about Susie in Chapter 1, Noelle nervously gifts Susie a lunchbox of chalk before running off. However, when Kris and Susie arrive at the library, it becomes apparent that Noelle and Berdly have fallen into a new Dark World in the computer lab.
In the Cyber World, Noelle is captured by Queen, who intends to recruit Noelle to her cause of world domination, And is asked to be queen’s peon when captured. At the end of the Cyber Field, Noelle is pitted against the party on a roller coaster, but promptly replaced by the more eager-to-please Berdly. Noelle escapes and attempts to hide from Queen.
Later, Kris finds Noelle in Cyber City, and she joins Kris's party during the area while they help her hide from Queen and Berdly's antics. This culminates in Noelle's recapture by Queen (alongside Kris, Susie, and Berdly), and she is sent to her own room in Queen's Mansion.
Shortly after, during a series of puzzles, Berdly reveals that the reason he is recognized as the smartest in class was because he used to copy notes from Noelle, being a nobody at rhe time, after which there was a spelling bee which Berdly won, only because one of the words was "DECEMBER", reminding Noelle of the traumatic disappearance of her sister, allowing Berdly to win.
Susie comes to rescue her, convinces Noelle that she's dreaming, and the two share a Ferris Wheel ride that takes them to the roof of the mansion. Once the ride is over, Susie leaves Noelle with Berdly and rejoins Kris and Ralsei. Berdly then proclaims to a bewildered Noelle that he was leading her on and does not actually have a crush on her, instead having a crush on Susie. Noelle promptly starts shaking Berdly, out of shock and rage, because at this point, it has been made certain that Noelle feels affection for Susie.
Berdly and Noelle are recaptured by Queen off-screen, who attempts to persuade Noelle to become the new Knight, after she mistakenly believed that the original Knoght had disappeared. After the party fights GIGA Queen, Queen threatens Susie in attempt to force Noelle to open a Dark Fountain, but Noelle stands up to Queen and refuses. Queen responds to this by asking Noelle to choose for herself whether she wants to stay in the Dark World or the Light World. Noelle and Berdly each consider maintaining the Library Dark World before Ralsei reminds them of the Prophecy, particularly, a new portion regarding the Roaring. Hearing this, they decide against making a new fountain, and Queen allows Kris to seal the Cyber World's fountain, after which everybody wakes up in the computer lab. However, Noelle still appears to believe that the Dark World was all a dream.
Chapter 3
Noelle does not make an appearance in Chapter 3: Late Night, but she is referenced in the second S Rank Minigame, as the White Cloak that follows the player during that minigame is implied to be an 8-bit representation of her. Furthermore,there is a setting present in the game's code that replaces the Cloak's sprite with that of a deer. She also appears in Tenna's flashback, at the same age she was during the spelling bee, when Dess had first been hinted as missing.
Weird Route
During the Weird Route, if Kris tells Ralsei that they intend to go to the Festival with Noelle, there is original dialogue,in which Ralsei tells Kris that it is a bad choice on their part, and Noelle would likely rather go with Susie.
Chapter 4
In Chapter 4: Prophecy, Noelle plays a large role in the first quarter of the story. Noelle is seen to be part of the choir at the church. After Kris and Susie agree to look for clues, Susie will eventually ask (and accidentally surprise) Noelle to go to her house under the guise that they will study for their project. Noelle agrees, and the three students go to her house eventually. In a normal route, Susie will distract Noelle while the player looks around for clues.
The player can eavesdrop on Susie and Noelle throughout the chapter. They can listen to the two girls have a conversation before they trip the power and while they search for the breaker, and both of them seem to be genuinely enjoying each other's company. Once the two end up in Dess's room and Kris tries to stop the SOUL from reaching the guitar, Noelle and Susie talk about Noelle's dream, Kris's flirting skills (which makes Kris blush), Kris acting weird recently, and other topics. Whenever Kris is directly mentioned, they briefly pause in their pursuit of the SOUL. Susie tries to prevent Noelle from learning that the dream was real with several close shaves. Once Susie takes the guitar after both the SOUL and Kris fail to get it, she and Noelle go downstairs and talk as Susie plays it. Asgore reveals he was cleaning the Holiday's house and that Carol would be walking in seconds after. Susie is immediately told to leave by a menacing Carol, but not before Susie can declare that she would take Noelle to the festival. Carol sends her daughter inside the kitchen to scold her. Noelle does not appear after that.
Weird Route
On the Weird Route, Kris, controlled by the player, uses their time with Noelle to help her become "stronger" through killing enemies with her Iceshock spell. Noelle is then coaxed into stealing the Freeze Ring from a shopkeeper, causing her to become more ambivalent towards killing enemies and believing these experiences are making her stronger.
Eventually, Kris and Noelle encounter Berdly, whom Noelle initially does not recognize. Berdly, who becomes worried for Noelle's well-being, engages in a battle, and the player forces Noelle to use SnowGrave, a spell she does not know. This causes Berdly to become encased in a massive ice crystal. After this, Noelle leaves the party in a depressed daze, and is not seen again (except for a short interaction she has with Susie off-screen) until she finishes off Spamton NEO with a powerful (presumably Iceshock) spell. Kris seals the Dark Fountain alone, and the party wakes up in the computer lab. Berdly does not wake up, though Noelle simply assumes he fell asleep as a result of studying too much.
Noelle can be seen playing Dragon Blazers III with her dad in the hospital as normal, but she is more insistent on using IceShock to defeat the boss, and leaves right when Kris and Susie arrive. Susie is held back by Rudy as Kris goes to talk to Noelle. Noelle thinks to herself how creepy and realistic that dream was, before the player interrupts her thoughts, reading her mind through the text boxes. There are several ways this scene can play out:
While the screen turns to black, Noelle silently wonders why Kris keeps coming to the hospital, to which the player can respond with either "To see you" or "To see your father." Regardless of the choice, Noelle is shocked by Kris's presence. She asks herself why Kris's voice sounded so terrifying, recognizing it as the voice that had been commanding her in the Dark World. Kris can respond with either "Because it wasn't a dream" or "...," but Susie interrupts and the game progresses the same regardless of the choice.
If Kris has the Silver Watch equipped, Noelle asks in a shaky voice "Why are you wearing... my watch? Wh... when did you..." Kris can instead respond with either "In your dream" or "...," but Susie interrupts as usual.
Player control is enabled during this scene. Stepping once towards Noelle will cut the dialogue to the part where Noelle notices Kris is present. Stepping twice makes Noelle exclaim "S-stop! Don't come any closer!" with a shaky voice. At this point, the message box cannot be dismissed except by stepping towards Noelle a third time. Kris' distance (or lack thereof) from Noelle is maintained when the screen fades back in.
In Chapter 4, Noelle approaches Susie and Kris, asking them to come to her house to study, thus removing the need to ask her. Once there, Kris instead moves to hide the SOUL in a drawer temporarily when Noelle approaches them, asking for a moment in her room. Once she leaves, Kris hides the SOUL in the same gift box as normal. The player can go to Kris and Noelle in her room and eavesdrop. This scene has multiple different outcomes:
To remain on the Weird Route, the player has to hear Noelle's piece (moving the SOUL from the vent to the room via the prompt box), then re-inhabit Kris when Noelle's eyes are closed. Kris stops Noelle from revealing too much about what happened the night after Chapter 2 and before Chapter 3, though it is revealed that Kris returned her wristwatch, pulled a thorn (the Light World equivalent of the Thorn Ring) from her finger, and apologized profusely, where she notes their voice sounded the same as before: mumbled and awkward. Noelle panics when she hears the player's voice again, and becomes increasingly scared as they back her into a corner, reading her thoughts, which she personally confirms with a test. Assuming the player selects all of the right choices, Kris will grab the thorn from last night and presumably put it back in her hand, creating a large, red shockwave visual. Noelle suddenly stops struggling, and the game goes on.
Shortly after this scene, Kris throws the SOUL into a trash bin and begins kicking it violently, implying they are enraged by the player's actions to continue the Weird Route.
If the player takes too long to repossess Kris while Noelle is talking, Kris will eventually notice the SOUL, grab Noelle's arm, and hurry out of the room. After a moment, Kris will return and to take the SOUL back to the gift room. The player can also apologize or pick the wrong message after re-gaining control of Kris, which causes Noelle to slap Kris for scaring her. Any of these choices will abort the route.
Noelle's title changes depending on the player's actions.
When Noelle joins the party, her title is "Snowcaster."
After using IceShock, her title changes to "Frostmancer."
If she is equipped with the Thorn Ring on the Weird Route, her title changes to "Ice Trancer."
Spells
Casting SnowGrave on enemies other than Berdly causes them to break apart like in Undertale.
When doing a spell, Noelle crouches and proceeds to stand up with her hands up together with white sparkles coming out.
Heal Prayer
Costs 32% TP. The same spell used by Ralsei, heals 5 HP for every 1 Magic stat she has on the selected party member. "Heavenly light restores a little HP to one party member. Depends on Magic."
Doing this conjures green sparkles on whoever is being healed.
Sleep Mist
Costs 32% TP. Similar to Ralsei's Pacify, but costs more TP and is cast on all enemies. If enemies are tired or sleepy, Noelle can cast this spell to instantly SPARE them. "A cold mist sweeps through, sparing all TIRED enemies."
Doing this conjures swirling clouds on enemies.
IceShock
Costs 16% TP, or 8% TP if Thorn Ring is worn. An attack that does a significant amount of damage. Notably, this attack freezes enemies solid instead of allowing them to flee. After finding Noelle, every enemy encountered in Cyber City must be frozen with this attack to access the Weird Route. "Deal magical ICE damage to one enemy."
At the end of the Weird Route, when Kris (or the player) calls Noelle for help, she presumably shows up after the screen goes dark and casts three IceShock spells on Spamton NEO.
Doing this spell creates blue stylized snowflakes on enemies.
N-Action
Does not cost TP. It is a variant of Susie's S-Action where Noelle does Kris's selected act, much like paired ACTs, except that Noelle can choose to do it with another enemy.
Doing this makes Noelle point forward with hearts and stars coming out like Kris.
SnowGrave
... Fine! You want to see what happens so bad? Watch what happens when I cast a spell I don't know!
Noelle, after pressured to use SnowGrave
Costs 200% TP, or 100% TP if Thorn Ring is worn. A spell that does an overwhelming amount of damage to all enemies when used, labelled "Fatal." Can only be unlocked by fighting Berdly on the Weird Route, and kept by defeating Berdly without using the move. "Deals the fatal damage to all of the enemies."
Relationships
Rudy Holiday
Rudy is Noelle's father. Noelle and her father have an incredibly close and loving relationship. The two often play video games together, with one named Dragon Blazers III that Noelle is waiting to complete with him. She regularly visits Rudy in hospital, though he wishes that in return, he could be around to protect her. She seems upset when Rudy asks her not to wait for him to beat Dragon Blazers III in Chapter 1, implying she worries greatly about his health, but is quickly cheered up when he instead requests that she bring it to the hospital. She does so in Chapter 2 and the two go to Church together in Chapter 4.
Kris
Noelle and Kris are childhood friends and spent much of their time together when they were children, and hung out with their respective older siblings, Asriel and Dess. Kris had a reputation for pulling pranks on Noelle, such as hiding under her bed to scare her or putting ketchup on their arms and faking their death to shock her, but was often swiftly reprimanded by Dess. In turn, she was mostly nice to them and looks back fondly on the pranks. Often times Kris would go over to her house and play the piano, though if she watched they would stop playing. Noelle describes a time where she and Kris where on the Ferris wheel in the Festival's funfair where Kris repeatedly began shaking it and scaring her. However, after Dess had gone missing, it is implied Kris began to distance themself and Noelle started spending more time studying with Berdly. Despite this, Noelle still cares about and considers Kris a friend as she keeps a screensaver of a blurry photo of Kris as a child. By Chapter 1 she is still on friendly terms with Kris and usually helps them with their homework, and gives one of her pencils to them if they lost their own. She is one of Kris' only classmates who makes efforts to be considerate.
In Chapter 2, Kris and Noelle make a truce and work together through Cyber City Dark World where she acts much more casual with them, playfully calling their name while reminiscing on old times the time they spent together as kids, upon being and even says that it's unfair how Kris is the only person who knows how weird she is, because everyone knows how weird Kris is.
In the Weird Route in the Dark World, their relationship becomes heavily strained as Noelle starts to become disturbed by Kris' demands influenced by the player and even has an intrusive thought to hurt them, which she brushes away. Despite being reassured that it was a dream in the Light World, Noelle is even further creeped out by them to the point of terror, even more so if the player has her wrist watch equipped on Kris. When Kris visited her overnight and console her, Noelle was brought to tears upon hearing their real voice again. By Chapter 4, Noelle speaks to Kris in her room about these events and confides to them that she is happy to hear that they are back to their usual self, seemingly having their relationship mended, though the player has the option to completely undo their attempt to fix the damage by reequipping the Thorn Ring.
Susie
Noelle has a crush on Susie, which causes her to act nervous around the latter, and thus tries to hide it. She does not talk about it to anyone, except for her father, though her dialogue with Kris still makes hints towards her crush. Susie is oblivious to Noelle's crush. However, in Chapter 2, she in turn starts opening up to Noelle over the course of their adventure in the Dark World, though she insists to Noelle that it was just a dream after they manage to return to the Light World. Over both routes, but more noticeably in the Weird Route, Noelle becomes more direct and brave with Susie. By Chapter 4 Noelle and Susie's bond grows stronger as they talk about shared interests and have a long conversation with Noelle about the events of Chapter 2 with the latter believing it to be a dream, by the end of it Susie is put at ease as Noelle notes her tail is wagging.
Berdly
In Chapter 2, they both team up with Queen, though Noelle does not actually want to. After revealing his affections towards Susie, Noelle begins shaking Berdly out of shock. Despite this, Noelle doesn't want harm to come to him (although she freezes him on the Weird Route, but it's implied she didn't see what happened after she used SnowGrave), and Berdly is shown to care about Noelle, viewing her as his friend and the only reason he is able to act as smart as he does.
Carol Holiday
Carol Holiday is Noelle's mother. Although Noelle seems to love her mother, she is not as close with Carol Holiday as she is with Rudy, and she dislikes bothering the Mayor while she is working. Rudy says that Noelle's mother is "hard on her," which is likely a factor in this. Indeed, Noelle is shown to be fearful of Carol immediately put on the verge of terror after realizing she came home early and spotted her and Susie with December's guitar
Dess
Dess is Noelle's older sister. They were very close, as Noelle says they used to watch scary movies together and Dess would console her whenever she was scared. They used to hang out together with Asriel and Kris with Noelle recalling Dess coming to her aide whenever Kris' pranks went too far. Noelle is impacted the hardest by her disappearance, unable to even spell out her name as a child during the spelling be and reminiscing on the times she was still in her life within the present, having multiple screensavers of her from when she was still around. According to Spamton, Noelle would repeatedly respond to missing email poster links to find any leads on Dess' whereabouts to no avail.[2] While initially, adverse to having her guitar be played again by Susie she is put at ease hearing it again.
Asriel
Asriel and Noelle seem to be friends and have a good relationship with each other. During a walking sequence with Kris, Noelle states that when they were kids, she along with Asriel, Kris, and her older sister Dess explored the forest behind the graveyard and found nothing interesting. She recalls crying when she got scared and wiping away her tears with Asriel's jacket.
Queen
Queen and Noelle meet during Chapter 2. Through the entirety of it, Queen treats Noelle like a daughter, calling her terms of endearment such as "sweetie," "honey," and "gravy." Throughout the chapter, Queen had attempted to force Noelle to become her peon, but it is later shown that deep inside, the Queen actually cared very much about her and just wanted to see her happy. At the end of the chapter, she is shown to understand Noelle better and says goodbye to her and the rest of the main characters.

Noelle's nurse outfit from "TakeCareX" versus Virovirokun.
The name Noelle is presumably a reference to the French word "Noël" (meaning Christmas), as well as her last name Holiday. Several aspects of her design are reminiscent of the Christmas holiday:
Noelle wears red and green in the overworld, colors often associated with Christmas.
Noelle offers Kris a candy-cane pencil and "one with lights on it," both of which are associated with Christmas.
Noelle can use ice-based abilities against enemies in the Dark World; ice and winter are associated with Christmas.
Noelle has her own font in the games files, a variation of DotumChe, which was also used for the speech bubbles in Undertale. This font is used when she's nervous or quiet and is called "tinynoelle."
Noelle is a member of the Cross Country Team, along with Jockington and (formerly) Asriel.
In the original version of Chapter 1, Noelle's face graphic had a different design, with long hair that was cut off by the bottom of the frame, and her chin being slightly wider. This was later changed starting from the Chapter 2 update, where her hair was slightly shorter to match her overworld sprite more closely and her chin was shortened.
Noelle appears to dislike meat and enjoy eating vegetables, as shown by her reaction to eating Darkburger and Giga Salad, respectively. This could be due to the fact that real-life reindeers are herbivores.
When hiding her face from Queen in Cyber City, Noelle puts a box with a robotic-looking face painted on it on her head. This is a reference to the Queen's threats to roboticize Noelle's face.
When walking behind a building during the "December" segment, only blue or yellow silhouettes can be seen of Kris and Noelle. When Noelle walks behind one of the buildings, her silhouette appears to be a younger version of Noelle, possibly because she is reminiscing about her childhood.
After Noelle obtains the FreezeRing in the Weird Route, several of Noelle's battle animations change (specifically the animations for defending, attacking, being hurt, and entering/winning a battle).
Various links on the official Deltarune website during the Spamton Sweepstakes 2022 charity event have anecdotes regarding Noelle prior to the game:
deltarune.com/icee/, found from the "HAVE YOU SEEN HIM??" banner, is an ICE-E recent sightings article report from a young Noelle. It describes how she was terrified of an ICE-E pizza box, and how Dess burned out the eyes. Asriel suggested that the box should be buried, and Kris had attempted to bury it in the cemetery. When Noelle expressed her fears, they turned around with the box on their face. In response, Dess hit Kris and threw away the box instead.
deltarune.com/code/comments/: Reveals that she was particularly in good terms with someone with "sports" as their username.
deltarune.com/catpetterz/: Noelle describes how "Cat Petterz 2" is one of her favorite games, and how she enjoyed modifying the game. However, an error message scared Noelle and caused her to punish her pets and discard eggs to avoid the text.
deltarune.com/egg/: The post describes an incident where she received a "SPECIAL" white egg after waiting, hatching, and discarding multiple eggs. After she chose to treat it as a normal pet, it "left home due to happiness." She notes that she cannot remember the name of the egg.
deltarune.com/kris_dreemurr_kris/: A private post of Noelle reminiscing about when Kris used to visit her house to play with her, then would suddenly choose to play the piano. When she noticed they would stop playing when she watched, she chose to wait instead. While she sometimes questioned her friendship with Kris, she still appreciates them playing the piano. Noelle mentioned how it "felt like a concert" when she closed her eyes.
deltarune.com/bluecircle/: Reveals she frequently checks her spam mail in case she receives fan mail. When she received one that consists of only letters and numbers, she applied it to "Cat Petterz 2" as a modifier. It caused a single blue circle to appear, which would occasionally glitch, had atrocious stats, and multiplied too fast as the word "Congratulations!" kept repeating. She was forced to delete all of her pets.
deltarune.com/the_n3w3st_g1rl_g1rl/: A private post from Noelle on how Susie had bullied Kris, and notes that they do not tell Toriel. In the post, she mentions how she tried waiting for Kris after school since they were still asleep, and had hid in her locker to keep an eye on the two.
deltarune.com/icepalace_glaceir/: A post describing an implied softlock she experienced when she played "Dragon Blazers" as a child. However, she discovers a unique door in the area. Upon finding it, Noelle nearly screamed, but immediately reconsidered in case her mother heard and would turn off the game. She notes that the door is locked, and has not been able to find the key for it.
deltarune.com/rain/: Noelle talks about how she enjoys playing Cat Petters on rainy days and describes a minigame she enjoyed playing as a child. She recalls finding something in the game that no one else had seen, then notes that she thinks there is someone else who has seen it but that they wouldn't tell her if she asked. She then links the minigame, asking people to try and find proof if they think they can.
The bottom of the 8th issue of the Undertale/Deltarune Newsletter features a hidden letter that is implied to be written by a young Noelle. It implies that Noelle wished "it could snow whenever I wanted," and always won making "the biggest snow angel" thanks to Dess.[4]
In the Dark World, Noelle's hair becomes pale blonde and her fur obtains a pinkish tone. She also wears a long white dress/robe with a hood and ample sleeves, and her smile turns into a straight face.
Noelle may have masochistic tendencies, as she tends to fantasize about Susie bullying her for various things (e.g. Susie pushing her over and laughing at Noelle for asking Susie to ride with her on the Ferris Wheel),[5] and states that the Ragger "feels nice" when attempting to equip it on her.[6] This type of masochistic behavior is also shown via her like of horror movies despite the fact that they scare her.
When Noelle was younger, she nearly won a spelling bee, but froze up and couldn't speak when spelling the word "December," which handed the victory to Berdly. Her sudden freezing up was likely caused by the trauma of her sister's disappearance.
If Kris talks to Noelle after visiting her father in the hospital in Chapter 1, they learn that she is locked out of her house, but doesn't want to bother her mother, the mayor of Hometown. At this point, if Kris mentions Susie, Noelle becomes eager to ask questions about her.
If Kris tells Noelle that Susie is nice, she becomes relieved and excited.
If Kris tells her that Susie is terrible, she becomes shocked, and offers to trade class project partners with Kris.
If Kris tells her that Susie eats chalk, Noelle asks if Kris knows what color chalk is her favorite, before realizing that giving her a lunchbox full of chalk probably isn't a great gift.
If Kris tells her nothing, she says that she helps Kris all the time, but Kris isn't giving her information. She keeps asking questions about Susie, before deciding that it isn't her personal business.
If Kris tries to talk about Susie again, Noelle starts to ask something but quickly decides Kris definitely does not know the answer.
If Kris finds the moss in Cyber City while Noelle is in the party, her title changes to "Moss Neutral."
Noelle has a unique animation when casting Snowgrave on Berdly, which is not used for normal enemies.
Noelle, when on the Weird Route, is one of the few characters in Deltarune aware of the player's influence over Kris, a trait shared by the Voice and possibly Ralsei.
In Chapter 4, it is revealed that Noelle has a "green dog puppet" wallpaper on her computer. The dog is likely in reference to GIR from Invader Zim, a robot who disguises himself with a zip-up green dog costume. GIR became associated with Noelle through a SiIvagunner mashup of Field of Hopes and Dreams and Antonymph (a MLP fandom song), which featured her dressed in a GIR hoodie.
Though unavailable to do under normal circumstances, Noelle is able to equip both the Jingle Blade as well as the Black Shard, both of which are swords normally reserved for Kris.
It is implied that Noelle is left handed, as evidenced by the computer in her room in the Holiday family mansion having its mouse set on the left side.
Noelle's sister December also uses her mouse in this way, indicating that she is left handed as well. Additionally, Carol Holiday, the sisters' mother, is also implied to be left handed considering the orientation the katana in the living room is displayed in.
Noelle may be a possible candidate for the second hero foretold in the complete Prophecy. The second hero's silhouette is shown wielding a sword, and Noelle (through game modification) is able to equip the Black Shard, which can be considered a type of sword. Additionally, Noelle can equip ribbons, which is implied by Ralsei to be an ability shared among the three heroes.
