Age: 19 (Season 4, her only appearance so far)
Species: Human

Personality: Optimistic and friendly, she's happy to talk to anyone, even if they seem rude. Although, she is also quite defensive of others and will stand up for anyone who is being ridiculed, and will not hesitate to call someone out if she doesn't like how they're acting. She can be quite sarcastic, and isn't one to shy away from a fight if she ever finds herself in one, and can easily handle her own. She has left jocks with black eyes or bloodied noses a couple of times.

Outfits or general style:
A simple black and white striped t-shirt (Or any basic t-shirt) with some denim shorts and hightops. (When first introduced as she's just trying to dress like everyone else, basically looking casual)
A David Bowie Shirt (Or any musician shirts), dark grey skirts or black shorts, and red cardigans or leather jackets with a pair of black boots, fishnet tights, and a choker. Tends to wear a bunch of customised baker boy hats, ones where she embroidered different things onto them whether it be movie quotes, song lyrics or different band logos. (When she starts to be herself, casual style, like image below)

An alternate outfit she wears sometimes is a dark grey maxi dress, a black button up cardigan, grey ankle boots, and a wide belt with a choker. (Also when she starts to be herself, for a more creative look) Imagine the "Warm and Wondering" outfit from this video.
Backstory: Noelle grew up in London England, living a relatively happy and normal life with her parents and 4 sisters. Her and her older sisters formed a cover band, performing covers of many different songs for the fun of it.
She went to a boarding school in England, where she made a group of friends. After they finished at the school, since you finish school at 16 in England and start college whenever, the group were still close friends. She didn't bother with college straight away, planning to start after a couple of years of working small jobs first for cash.
A few weeks before her 19th birthday, her parents broke the news to her that the family would be moving. When she went to tell her friends, she didn't get chance to as something happened that upset her and led to an argument. She said something which really upset one of her friends, causing them to run away, but in the process they tripped and fell down some stairs, landing them in hospital. Noelle never got to make it up to them or apologise before she moved, and the guilt ate away at her after that.
She started at Hawkins High School, considering she'd left school at 16 which was two years before she would in America so she was made to go back to school for two years, even though she was 19 now. At this point she was still trying to fit in, but after seeing how confident one particular student seemed to be with being himself, she also found the courage to stand out and be who she was. She soon decided to try and make some friends, more specifically with the 'freaks' and outcasts since they seemed like the people she'd get along with more.
Of course being friends with those guys ended up dragging her into their adventures during season 4. Although, eventually they had her stay with Eddie while he was hiding so as there was someone there to keep a look out in case anyone else turned up looking for Eddie.
Later on in the season, I' not sure when yet, but she becomes a victim of Vecna's curse too, her seeing visions of her old friends hating her for what she did back in England, but she survived thanks to everyone's intervention
Favourite song/theme song:
Bat out of Hell by Meatloaf
"Like a sinner before the gates of heaven I'll come crawling on back to you."
(Or a few alternative songs, because I have many in mind for her)
Youth Gone Wild by Skid Row
"We're standing tall, ain't never a doubt. We are the young, so shout it out."
I Wanna Rock by Twisted Sister
"Turn it down you say, But all I got to say to you is time and time again, I say no!"
Crazy Train by Ozzie Osbourne
"Maybe it's not too late. To learn how to love and forget how to hate."
Goody Two Shoes by Adam Ant
"If the words unspoken get stuck in your throat, send a treasure token, token. Write it on a pound note."
Fears: Silence, Dogs, Darkness, Being alone (Not entirely, but like if she was waiting for someone and they were extremely late, like over an hour, it would terrify her because she would worry something had happened to them)
Extra:
Speaks with a British accent (Imagine 2010 Alice in Wonderland's Alice's voice), having moved to Hawkins from England.
Despite being a teen, she openly refuses to swear, though she doesn't mind if other people do so.
Secretly writes poetry when stressed or upset as it helps cheer her up, but won't do so unless she's certain nobody's around.
More stuff added (31st August 2022): She is the middle child of five sisters. She had 2 younger sisters (who are twins, both being 6) and two older sisters (one 21 the other 22)
She lives alone, having moved out her family home and into her own shortly after starting at Hawkins High.
