Noelle, a maid working for the Knights of Favonius dreamt of becoming one of them, but fails every one of the tests that they gave despite her talents.
However, after meeting with the Outlander Aether, who is made the...
"Aether, look at Noelle's eyes...!" Paimon shouted.
"Geo sigils...? What does this mean...?"
Aether also saw that the vision holder on Noelle's back bow is blank, but yet she is still able to use geo.
"You're supposed to be dead! It can't be! I am built to be like you, the strongest in Mondstadt, there's no way that attack didn't kill you!" The Noelle impostor ranted.
"That is where you are wrong, imitation! You merely have the body and raw power of Noelle, the daughter of Shirogane, but not her heart and willpower, which I have recognized through battle myself!" Ayaka replied, unsheathing her tachi and pointed it at the impostor.
"I have made my choice, and this is my proof... Proof of an orderless knight... That will carve a path for the Outlandish Traveler's journeys!"
"Noelle..."
"Aether, please get Master Dain to safety. The two of us will handle this impostor, and finish her once and for all."
Several abyss knights suddenly came out of a portal, and readied their huge lances. They stood in front of the impostor, guarding her. As that is happening, Aether and Dain has fled.
"I will handle the knights, you shall finish your shadow."
Noelle nodded, and Ayaka flew gracefully over the knights, slashing each of them with her cryo infused tachi. Their movements became more sluggish then before, as they try to thrust their lances to the flying Heron Princess. Noelle on the other hand, approached her impostor, and pumped her fist forwards, which meets the impostor's fist. An explosion of golden light emanates upon impact, before they stepped backwards.
The impostor tries to deliver a right hook, but Noelle ducked down, and delivers a straight punch to the impostor's cuirass, sending her flying all the way across the crater, hitting a stone rubble.
The impostor knelt, and coughed in pain before looking at her real counterpart. Noelle just looked at her impostor with a stern look. The impostor then shook, as Noelle clasped her hands in front of her cuirass, as a golden crystal formed between them from the energy collected from all the rocks, stones and ores in The Chasm. She then absorbed it into her body, and a bright light shines once again throughout the mines, and when it dissipates there stood Noelle, with a few new differences.

Her roses are now gold in color, and the silver parts of her armor are gold as well while the gold linings became black, her hair grew longer, and a translucent golden cape forms on her back. She raised both of her hands and pumped her fists after looking at them for a moment, before opening an adeptus portal, that summons The Unforged which flies at her at bullet-like speed only to be captured effortlessly. Upon sensing it's wielder, the blade then glowed in a golden light. Noelle raises the Unforged to the air, and on the ceiling of the caverns, an adeptus portal opens, revealing a huge meteorite falling down on the impostor's position. The impostor slashes it in half just in time, only to be met with a storm of geo infused arrows, and thrown glowing rocks. Some of the arrows got stuck on the impostor's body, and the rocks instantly bruised any exposed parts of the impostor upon impact, until she activates her barrier which expels it all out.
