Noel (Mermaid Melody)

Noel (ノエル Noeru) often incorrectly romanized as Nuil or Noelle is one of the main supporting characters in the anime Mermaid Melody. Noel and her younger twin sister Karen are twins, both born on either side of midnight between Thursday, February 13 and Friday, February 14 in 1986. However, they were born on opposite sides of the world, with Noel being born in the Arctic Ocean and Karen being born in the Antarctic Ocean. Noel lived a calm life until the day her kingdom was destroyed by Gaito and his minions. Noel escaped, leaving her kingdom behind. While escaping, Noel met the mermaid princess of the North Atlantic Ocean, Rina Toin, whose kingdom had also been destroyed. For a while, they traveled together, until Gaito and one of his minions, Yuri, caught up with them. Gaito tried to trap Noel and Rina, but Noel sacrificed herself and told Rina to escape. For a long time after that, Noel was trapped in the depths of the ocean in Gaito's castle, locked away in a large glass tank. Karen went out to search for her sister after hearing of this.

In episode 50 of the anime, Lucia, Hanon, Rina, and Karen all went to Gaito's castle to rescue the captured Mermaid Princesses. Noel was rescued along with the Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean, Coco. After that, Noel and Coco joined the group and battled against Gaito with the song Kodou. Together, they all helped the Mermaid Princess of the Indian Ocean, Sara, realize her true feelings, and Sara joined them. With the help of Kaito and Hippo, the Mermaid Princesses defeated Gaito with the song Kodou and Noel safely returned to her now-being-restores kingdom. In the second season, Noel is seen to be a gentle, kind girl who is much more mature than Karen and Coco but is still immature at times. She also seems to be a strong volleyball player, and likes to play matchmaker as well. Noel is seen as having knowledge of magic objects and places, such as the Miracle Bay.
