Name notes: Noel's name is written in phonetic katakana characters, which spell out "No-e-lu." This is the Japanicization of the French name "Noel." Now, I was taught that "Noel" is a boy's name in French, whereas "Noelle" is a girl's name... However, on official merchandise (such as these sticker cards), as well as in volume 05 of the manga, Noel's name is written as N-O-E-L. I have also heard that in Canada at least, "Noel" can be used as a girl's name.

I know that in the anime fansubs, her name is written as "Nuil," but I don't understand the basis for that. Noel's name is written with the same characters in both the anime and the manga.

Noel has not yet been given an official profile.

Noel

Noel is the princess of the Arctic Ocean. Using her pearl, she can transform into Deep Blue Pearl Voice. Within the manga, Noel has not yet appeared in a normal human form.

Noel is actually Caren's twin sister (the slightly elder twin, to be exact). Noel and Caren were born at the same time and at the same moment, even though they were born at opposite poles of the Earth.

At the beginning of the manga, Noel had managed to escape her destroyed kingdom, and had finally found another fleeing mermaid princess, Rina. Noel and Rina vowed to search for the remaining mermaid princesses, but at that moment, Gakuto and Yuuri caught up with them. Noel sacrificed herself so that Rina could escape. Rina is still haunted with the memory of her last moments with Noel; and Noel, for her part, spends the majority of the manga sleeping within Gakuto's castle.

Despite the fact that she is Caren's twin sister, Noel seems to be the polar opposite (no pun intended) of Caren in many ways. Noel has a very calm, gentle, caring personality. Rather than leaping into action, Noel instead pauses and reflects before making a decision. The only thing that Noel does impulsively, however, is jump into harm's way if that's what it takes to protect her loved ones. Noel sacrifices herself to Gakuto twice in the manga, the first time for Rina, and the second time for Caren. Noel's courage, and capacity for self-sacrifice, are the personality traits that she actually shares in common with Caren.

Deep Blue?

Noel's proper color is blue or deep blue, but NOT indigo, as some fan translations have made her out to be. For more information, please read this page.

Noel's Forms

mermaid Noel
This is Noel's basic, true shape (first appearance: chapter 03).

Noel
Noel in her human form (first appearance: chapter 24).

Deep Blue Pearl Voice
Noel's superheroine alter-ego (first appearance: chapter 20).

Noel does not appear as a mermaid princess. Deep Blue Pearl Voice only has one outfit in the manga, and has received no power-ups. However, her one and only idol outfit is indeed analogous with the "second" idol outfits of the other mermaid princesses; it has double-layered gloves, boots, and ruffles.
