Noelle Silva, also known as the Sea Goddess, is the tritagonist of the Black Clover franchise.
Noelle Silva was the fourth-born child of the Clover Kingdom's House Silva, and a member of the Black Bulls Magic Knight Squad. Due to her lack of control over her magic, she was ostracized by her family, often tormented her for her lack of control and supposedly being the cause of her mother Acier Silva's demise.
She is voiced by Kana Yūki in Japanese and by Jill Harris in English. Harris has also voiced Fern in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End, Yuzuriha in Hell's Paradise: Jigokuraku, Suletta Mercury in Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch From Mercury, Mandalay in My Hero Academia, and Charlie Morningstar in the pilot of Hazbin Hotel.
Biography[]
Noelle is a silver-haired royal from the prestigious House of Silva, as well as a member of the Black Bulls. Befitting her upbringing, she can come off as arrogant and cold at times. She eventually develops romantic feelings for Asta but is in denial about them.
As the youngest daughter of the late Acier Silva — and the youngest sister to Nozel Silva, Nebra Silva and Solid Silva — Noelle has incredible magical potential with Noelle using Water Magic. Unfortunately for her, she lacks fine control, resulting in collateral damage and being mocked by her own family. As a result, Noelle has veered towards defensive magic, mostly protective bubbles.
Personality[]
Due to having been rejected by her own family who had noticed her lack of control over her Magic Power, Noelle developed a crippling inferiority complex to her more accomplished older brother Solid and older sister Nebra. This inferiority complex leads Noelle to try and prove them wrong to the point where she'll overexert herself during training. Additionally, she is skeptical of the people around her since she expects them to react the same way that her family did. She is also rather modest, as she is mortified when she realizes her shirt is torn, showing her breasts slightly after the dungeon mission and is also slightly embarrassed wearing her bikini at the beach.
Thanks to the Black Bulls, mainly Asta and his influence, she slowly begins to have more confidence in herself. This slowly gives birth to a more courageous side where she is even willing to go against opponents like Vetto and her own brother, Solid. This confidence, courage, and kindness shapes Noelle a strong resolve to protect those she cares for, which creates a more selfless side to her personality.
While her personality improves, her nobility and pride causes her to not always be honest with herself. The biggest example is her big crush towards Asta and how she tries to brush it off. As the story keeps going, she falls even more for him, but she is still very reluctant to express those feelings.
Power and Abilities[]
As the second daughter and third child of the Silva Household, Noelle has vast magic and latent abilities, but she lacked control to the point of being viewed as a failure. But, she continued working hard to control her magic after joining the Black Bulls, which allowed her to become stronger than before, allowing her to fight against the reborn elves and the Apostles of Sephirah. Due to her latent abilities, hard work, and experience, Noelle has proven to be capable of keeping up with Asta and Yuno Grinberryall.

- Mermaid Form: This is a variation of the Valkyrie Dress, which was developed for underwater combat, removing most of the upper armor aside from the aside from what covers her chest and shoulders, which granting her a fish-like tail.

After learning to control her magic power, and when focusing on offense, Noelle has proven capable of matching elves, the most notable being Fana, one of the Apostles of Sephirah. Arriving in her Heart Kingdom, she was ranked as a Stage One Mage, and likely became stronger through training in there for six months.
Mana Method: In the Heart Kingdom, Noelle learned their Mana Method, which allows her to increase the size and power of spell through forming natural mana into runes, as well as giving instructions to her spells.
Ultimate Magic: After training under the Dyrad, Noelle learned the elves' technique for fully embodying her magic, which is possible due to her useage of the Heart Kingdom's mana method.
Spirit Assimlation: As a Spirit Host, Noelle can assilmiate Undine into herself, however, due to the short amount of time as one, she hasn't mastered it yet.
