History YMMV / Noir

* MagnificentBitch: [[SinisterMinister Mistress Altena]] is a high priestess within [[AncientConspiracy Les Soldats]] who seeks to cleanse both the organization and the world of corruption. [[spoiler:Driven by her [[FreudianExcuse childhood trauma]] of having her village destroyed by soldiers, one of whom raped her, Altena raises Chloe as her surrogate daughter with genuine love and sends her to watch over the titular Noir duo, Mirielle Bouquet and Kirika Yuumura, while sending waves of assassins after them [[StealthMentor to train Kirika and make her stronger]]. Using Chloe to manipulate the Noir duo, Altena deceives them into eliminating all her rivals, eventually unveiling her true plan to have Chloe kill Mirielle so that Chloe and Kirika can become the True Noir. When Chloe is defeated and killed instead, Altena makes one final stand against Mirielle and Kirika, and when defeated, dies on her own terms, throwing herself into a lava pit. Ruthless yet [[AffablyEvil affable]], Altena never loses her chillingly stoic demeanor, even in death.]]

** Though Mireille's brother is never named on-screen, there's a tendency to name him "Roland" in some fan works, which actually comes from a mistranslation of their father Laurent's name, which in Japanese wounds up sounding like "Rorando", which is identical to the pronunciation of Roland in the same language.

* EvilIsCool: Chloe, the third Noir. She is just as deadly, if not even more, as the other two. Instead of guns, Chloe [["eaponSpecialization weapons of choice]] are her little throwing daggers, and she effortlessly kills gun-wielding enemies with them. During her introduction, she has Mireille at knife-point while Kirika has Chloe at gunpoint, and Chloe confidently says: "Let's see which one of us is faster."
