Though, she finds herself very happy, comfortable and content with House Peirgarten as she feels as though this is a true family that honestly cares for her and her affairs. Although she acknowledges that is is an adopted addition to her family and not a true-blooded Peirgarten, she still enjoys reminiscing about how lucky she truly is to be who and where she is today.

Noelle Mira of House Beaulieu is an Ithanian from La Portee du Paradis, born on 7 September, 286 AC. House Beaulieu was a family of Ithanian aristocrats who was largely known for involvement with military affairs. Noelle is the youngest daughter in a family of five; her parents being Amelia Beaulieu and Frances Beaulieu [more on them later], and her two siblings being the eldest son, Jaspar, and the middle being her sister, Fiana.
Ithanian Childhood (ages ~7-11)
Unfortunately for Noelle, she was considered a nuisance to the family, a fact that she was reminded of almost daily. This mentality had lead to Noelle receiving constant neglect through unfair treatment via the favoritism of her siblings. This fact, however, was unbeknownst to the general public. The public viewed Noelle as the next soldier to join the Ithanian military, specializing in the use of short swords, trained by her father, the great Frances Beaulieu. This was Noelle's initial destiny, at least that's what the public thought. Behind closed doors, Noelle had to show some degree of improvement in her swordsmanship in order to receive simple necessities of life such as food, water, and a proper place to sleep. Noelle did not always meet her father's demands. Needless to say, she didn't quite enjoy combat studies.
Politics for Noelle are a touchy subject. Her entire childhood was crafted around the public perception of her family's standings and achievements, causing her personal life to appear healthy and upstanding when it really wasn't. However, she also has immense respect for them because of the opportunities they had opened up over time. Sometimes, Frances would bring Noelle along to some political meetings for the sake of a public appearance. One day during one of these meetings, the window of opportunity had opened for Noelle: She was asked if she truly wished to become a soldier. This was when Noelle spoke honestly in public [probably for the first time], expressing her much higher interest in healing people rather than hurting them. Frances had to maintain his upstanding reputation amongst the public; his reputation meant more to him than anything, it's what caused the family to gain an aristocrat status. To avoid allegations and public backlash, the family had set their sights on Regalia.
Regalian Childhood (ages 11-17)
At the age of 11, and more specifically 3 July, 299 AC, the Beaulieu family set sail for Regalia, a place where Noelle may finally begin to study something she'd like: Medical Sciences (in spite of her father's teachings). The boat trip was nothing too notable, it was a typical rough ride as they traversed from Ithania to the Holy City, some seasickness was experienced. Once the family arrived in Regalia, Noelle quickly and easily assimilated to Regalian culture. When she wasn't studying under her mentor, she'd likely be out mingling with other commoners and otherwise forming friendships, doing all she can to avoid the unhealthy environment that was her home. This lasted for three years.
Despite the abuse, Noelle couldn't help but still have some attachment to her family. It's unfortunate how they must not have had mutual feelings. The one day Noelle will never forget, the one she will always remain insecure to would be her fourteenth birthday, 7 September, 301 AC. This day is important because of how unusual it started, and how tragically it ended. After a day of mentorships, she was hunted down by her brother, who had told her to fetch a possession of his from the Sewers, describing a very specific individual. Noelle refused at first, questioning why the guards were not informed; but she eventually succumbed to her brother's request. This was the day when she returned from the Sewers in a completely devastated state: She had been beaten, stabbed and had no possessions to return. After receiving treatment for her wounds, Noelle that night to an empty house. It was time to learn and get used to having no means of income, and no roof to shelter her; she was alone.
Turning Point (age 17-current)
Out of necessity, Noelle eventually started working in the medical field with the Crown City Sawbones, but she later left them in favor of Morbus Imperium. Noelle joined Morbus Imperium because of Ida von Rahm, the nicest person to her at the time-- the only motherly figure she ever had up to that point. After Morbus Imperium was disbanded, Noelle was out of the medical field for quite some time, until she eventually got a job at multiple different establishments. She went from working at the Azure Premise (owned by House von Rahm) to working at the Fier et Calme Teahaus (owned by House Peirgarten, later rebranded to the Gilded Leaf Teahaus).
After enduring three years of complete self-dependence and a constant bankrupt status, it was time to look for options other than downsizing what she lived in, or if she should try carrying another three jobs. It had already become a much too common thing for her to come home by the end of the day, and just break down to herself. That happened until she met Marie Peirgarten and forming a very strong friendship. The two first met in the Women's Union of Regalia, where Noelle became an employee of the Teahaus as well. It wasn't until Noelle asked to speak with Marie one night when she decided she'd like to be a Peirgarten. After a few meetings and a few weeks of anxious waiting, the night finally came. On July 5, 303 AC, Noelle was adopted into House Peirgarten by Amelina as her legitimized cousin. Today, Noelle is a proud member of the Victoria's Valiant regiment of the Violet Order.

I am aware that this is a HUGE change from the Varran Noelle many of you loved. To put it quite bluntly, I got bored of playing a Varran as if it was an Ailor. Noelle as a character is already quite different from her 14-year-old d'Vaud guard and Alchemia medic we all knew. Now, she is Noelle Peirgarten, and that's how she's going to stay. My time playing a Varran lasted far too long. Bluntly once more, it took over my (mostly) previously successful career with Ailor characters. Lautaro Wodenstaff got replaced by Noelle (Varran) and Theoderic d'Vaud never had a chance to gain any spotlight. My solution to this was to simply change the problem at its source, and that problem was Noelle, who she is, and why I had grown so attached to her. Today, Noelle remains my main and only character, and she will likely stick around for quite a bit, through thick and thin, through light and dark. I can't confidently tell anyone whether or not I will ever create another Varran character. I'm honestly burnt out: I've stuck with the race since it was called the Tigran race, and that started playing it in the year of 2014. Sometimes, you just need to recognize that change is inevitable, and I hope you can come to love the new Noelle as much as I have.
I use Mademoiselle Catherine (fontmeme.com) as the font to represent Noelle's over-the-top handwriting.
