->''"I'm not stopping. I'm not moving. I'm not giving up!!"''

Yuno is Asta's childhood friend and main rival, hailing from the same village of Hage. Although he can be condescending, he is nevertheless kindhearted and also seeks to become the Wizard King. Unlike Asta, Yuno is immensely talented, despite the fact that he is also a country bumpkin. His talent is so great that many believe that he has the best shot out of all the rookies to reach that lofty position.\\\

Yuno has been blessed with a four-leaf clover grimoire, a sign of his unnaturally large reserves of mana, his natural talent for magic, and (supposedly) endowing him with good luck. As a Wind Magic practitioner, Yuno favors ranged combat, buffeting his opponents with magical gusts and blades made of wind. The fateful discovery of an ancient scroll allowed him to free Sylph, the fae-like spirit of wind, and gain her good graces.
----
* AbilityMixing: Yuno's spell Spirit Assimilation: Spirit Dive is this. It involves the combination of Mana Zone, in assimilating Sylph, and Mana Skin, releasing his magic at a perfectly constant rate to wear a protective layer of mana. By refining them, he's able to hold Sylph's power in his body, vastly increasing his magic power.
* TheAce: Yuno is good looking, admired by pretty much everyone, born with immense amounts of magical potential, and joins the most prestigious squad of Magic Knights without even trying. He's even the top Magic Knight rookie for acquiring the most stars not only out of every new Magic Knight but his entire squad.
* AdaptationExpansion: The anime gives him more screentime and character moments than the manga. This is justified, since the anime's slower pace makes his absences more pronounced than the manga.
* AllOfTheOtherReindeer: Even though Yuno's been bestowed with the coveted four-leaf clover grimoire, he still receives little to no respect from the other knights in the Golden Dawn because of his peasant background. Since the only person's opinion who he truly cares about is Asta's, he doesn't particularly care what they think. After the six month timeskip it's no longer the case, with his squadmates respecting him for being a brilliant Magic Knight.
* AnimalMotifs: He can create a hawk from his Wind Magic to attack or carry him around. He has a cool, dignified demeanor and is somewhat proud that he has powerful magic.
* AntiHero: [[SubvertedTrope Subverted]]. Yuno's first appearance paints him as your typical morally grey JerkAss StockShonenRival. However, not only does he care deeply for Asta but he has firmly been established as an unambiguously heroic character.
* AreaOfEffect: Yuno becomes able to use Mana Zone, controlling the mana in the area around him. He uses it to generate a spell inside another spell, increase his spells' power and range, and attack enemies from behind.
* AsideGlance: Does this in the anime several times, most of which involve Klaus asking if Yuno takes him for a fool or something else along the lines.
* AuraVision: When his vision is taken by Catherine's Ash Curse Magic, he hones his magic sensing, allowing Yuno to see mana in the form of a flock of winged beings.
* BadassBoast: He makes one after snapping out of his possession when Asta proclaims that he'll be the Wizard King, saving him and Mimosa from two elves' attacks in the process.
-->''"What are you talking about Asta? I'm the one who's going to be the Wizard King."''
* BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio: Yuno is the Speed to Noelle's Balance and Asta's Strength with Wind Magic that lets him move fast with quick spells.
* BashBrothers: Him and Asta, who are childhood friends and rivals, are this whenever they fight together. Best showcased when they face off against Mars, Licht, and [[spoiler:Zagred.]]
* BeamOWar: He engages in one with Rill using his Spirit Storm against his Scream of the Mystical Dragon Vouivre. Rill emits so much intense magical power from doing so that he breaks his team's crystal, winning Yuno's team the match.
* BerserkButton: Not played as straight as other examples, but it's there. It's often said he ''hates'' losing and it can be said he managed to control Sylph's powers out of spite for being on the losing side.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Yuno is generally cool and taciturn, speaking little. In spite of this, he's a powerful wind mage who can effortlessly defeat most mages.
* {{BFS}}: Yuno's Spirit of Zephyr spell forms a two-handed longsword that's almost as tall as he is to wield.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Despite being rivals and the same age, Yuno is Asta's more mature foster brother and gets angry when people insult and disrespect him. Best seen when he calmly yet angrily stops Sekke from harming Asta after the Magic Knights Entrance Exam. This also extends to his younger foster siblings as well, fighting alongside Asta to save them from an elf.
* BigDamnHeroes:
** He saves Asta and Mimosa just as they're about to be attacked by the elves possessing Klaus and Hamon.
** Alongside Asta, they save their foster family from a reincarnated elf.
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Yuno and Asta are this to each other, respectively, although they were the same height when they were younger, and Yuno is much more intelligent than Asta.
* BishieSparkle: He sometimes has these from the perspective of Charmy, who's completely smitten with Yuno.
* {{Bishonen}}: Yuno is a handsome young man who has slender facial features and a slim body, with many characters noting his good looks. Yami even calls him a "breezy little pretty boy".
* BlatantLies:
** When Asta saves him from Mars's giant crystal sword that would have killed him, Yuno tells him that he almost had him, annoying Asta. He then argues with Yuno, calling him out for his complete lie.
** He says that he's completely fine as Leopold heats up the hot springs with his magic, with Yuno profusely sweating. Asta points it out, stating that Yuno just hates losing.
** When Noelle asks him why he has elf ears and a facial marking, Yuno tells her that he's just brimming with power, with Noelle silent until he actually tells her why.
* BloodBrothers: Due to growing up in the church together, Asta and Yuno consider each other as family and more connected than people who're related by blood.
* BloodKnight: Downplayed. While fighting against Rill, it was said that he never imagined being so happy while going all out. And there's also his SoreLoser tendencies.
* BlowYouAway: He has a Wind Magic, often manifesting in the form of whirlwinds or [[RazorWind blades]]. It's an extremely powerful magic, able to one-shot noble trainees who had trained every day to become Magic Knights. Unfortunately, it's of little use against someone who can protect himself with armor made of diamond until he gains Sylph.
* BokeAndTsukkomiRoutine: Parodied in that Asta (the Boke) is the one technically in the right, while Yuno (the Straight Man) repeatedly denies the facts (Yuno was about to be killed by Mars and would have died if Asta hadn't jumped in).
-->'''Yuno:''' ''[straight-faced with a sigh]'' Why did you do that? I almost had him…
-->'''Asta:''' ''[worked up]'' Say what?! You liar! You're all beat up! You looked like you were gonna die!
-->'''Yuno:''' ''[unchanged expression]'' I was just about to unleash a furious counterattack.
-->'''Asta:''' ''[even more worked up]'' You're so completely lying! You always do that, you know!
* BornWinner: The quality of your magic along with your magical capacity is determined at birth. Yuno was not only born with incredible magic potential, but he also receives the legendary four-leaf clover grimoire, which the first Wizard King also wielded, as his own.
* BrainyBrunette: Yuno has messy black hair and a great instinct for mana, allowing him to grasp techniques such as mana sensing and Mana Skin in short time. When fighting Zagred, he incorporates the dregs of mana from Lumiere and Licht to make his Spirit of Zephyr effective against the devil, which earns him praise from the two.
* BreakingTheFourthWall: He does this as the story goes on. For example, he refuses to peep on the women's bath because he isn't "that type of character".
* BreakTheHaughty: Yuno is a prodigious mage who has great pride in his magical power, not caring about the opinion of others who disparage him for being a peasant and confident that his magic will let him become the Wizard King. Then, after the time skip, [[spoiler:Zenon easily defeats Yuno and leaves him for dead, with Zenon and his Dark Disciples having killed half of Golden Dawn and captured Vangeance. He's devastated at his failure to save his comrades and is in an angered, depressed state at the captains' meeting.]]
* BrokenAce: He's handsome, a powerful mage at a young age, was bestowed a four-leaf clover grimoire, and becomes the vice captain of the highest-ranked Magic Knights squad. Then Zenon [[spoiler:easily defeats and nearly kills him, half his squad is killed, and his captain is captured. He's angry at himself for not being strong enough and, at the captains' meeting, is enraged and devastated.]]
* BrutalHonesty: Yuno doesn't mince his words towards anyone. Even to his childhood friend, Asta. Here's one gem from early on in Chapter 1:
-->'''Asta:''' ''[after getting insulted by the other orphanage children]'' Shut up, brats! And you! Yunoooo! Why are you getting in the way?!
--> '''Yuno:''' ''[to Asta]'' Why? Because you're noisy, short, restless, and immature. Basically, you have no qualities that would appeal to women.
* CatchPhrase: "There's no way."[[note]]"You can't be serious" by Funimation.[[/note]]
* TheCavalry: When the Black Bulls and other Magic Knights are on the ropes against the elves, Yuno brings all the Magic Knights who had been scattered throughout the kingdom, who he all gathered in a short amount of time, for some much needed help.
* CelibateHero: Flat-out not interested, period. Fanservicey sights have no effect on him, he is either oblivious or uncomfortable when flirted with, and doesn't care about peeping on women in the bath.
* CharacterDevelopment: He begins the story indifferent to his squadmates, not caring that they look down on him for being a peasant. Over time, he begins to care for Klaus and Mimosa, and after the six month TimeSkip he considers his fellow Golden Dawn members as his comrades and also becomes more expressive.
* ChasteHero: Yuno genuinely has no interest in anyone and dedicates himself solely to his training. He ignores Sylph's affections, doesn't seem to notice or care that Charmy is infatuated with him, and is indifferent to his fangirls.
* ChekhovsGun:
** His pendant. It's part of a group of stones that can power up elves and, apparently, open magic seals. [[spoiler:It is used specifically to open the seal of Zagred.]]
** Yuno's pendant is later revealed to be an [[spoiler:heirloom of his biological family the House of Grinberryall, the former rulers of the Spade Kingdom.]]
* ChickMagnet: Charmy falls for him after he saves her food, and Sylph becomes smitten with him. Girls at the Star Festival also swoon over him when goes onto the stage, and after the time skip, he has tons of fan clubs in the kingdom.
* {{Childhood Friend|s}}: Of Asta. He hates it when people try to sabotage or discourage Asta's efforts and foils those plots in return. He also has complete faith in Asta's ability to become Wizard King:
-->'''Yuno:''' ''[in response to an insult to Asta]'' Asta is no loser. Asta is my rival.
* ChildProdigy: Yuno was capable of using strong Wind Magic at a young age, with many noticing his potential since then.
* CombatClairvoyance: While in Spirit Dive and using Mana Zone, he can predict and avoid attacks, even ones as fast as Light Magic.
* TheComicallySerious: With the exception of conversations with Asta, everything about Yuno is deadpan. ''Everything''. Even Sylph tugging on his cheeks. The effect is frequently hilarious.
* ConvenientlyAnOrphan: Yuno's one of the main characters and, along with Asta, he was left at the church as a baby.
* CoolBigBro: Yuno shows a much softer side around his younger foster siblings. This even applies to him and Asta, as Yuno is the more mature one. He encourages Asta to become stronger, looks out for his well-being, and defends him against others' insulting remarks.
* CoolCrown: He gains a half crown of crosses made of green mana on the left side of his head when using Spirit Dive.
* CoolKidAndLoserFriendship: The talented, handsome, popular Cool Kid to Asta's hot-headed, unskilled Loser. After Asta gets his grimoire, it's actually the other way around, but Asta is the only one oblivious to being more popular in the Magic Knights.
* CreepyCoolCrosses: Fusing with Sylph gives Yuno a half-crown and bracelet made of mana that appear as connected crosses. Even his single wing has crosses jutting out.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Usually the one who delivers them. The reader knows that things are serious when he's on the ''receiving end'' such as in his battle with Mars. At least until he manages to accidentally summon Sylph who curb-stomps Mars back.
** Him and Asta are subjected to one by the real Licht. Although they enter their Black form and Spirit Dive, Licht easily overwhelms and defeats them.
** He's on the receiving end during his fight with [[spoiler:Zenon, who mocks him for being defeated at only 55% of his devil's power.]]
* ADayInTheLimelight: He is the protagonist of the third light novel of the series. The novel has him investigate a matchmaking party, take care of a dangerous pet in a mission, and find the "Original Sin" grimoire.
* DeadpanSnarker: Yuno's usually brutally snarky to others' insult. In the very first chapter he bluntly points out to Asta that he's unappealing to women. When he's in a team with Noelle at the Royal Knights Exam and she's being snobby, he asks if she can even fight and tells her that Asta's rubbing off on her, to Noelle's flustered denial.
* DeathGlare: Yuno is already visibly depressed at the captains' meeting after [[spoiler:he was unable to stop Zenon and his Dark Disciples from capturing Vangeance and killing half of the Golden Dawn. He then furiously glares at Jack after he suggests that Yuno is overestimating Zenon because he was nearly killed by him.]]
* DefrostingIceKing: Although he was never mean to them, Yuno is indifferent to everyone in his squad at first, not caring that they shun him for being a peasant and focused mostly on his rivalry with Asta. After the Dungeon Exploration Arc, he befriends Klaus and Mimosa, and eventually as his squad's opinion of him changes he's on better terms with them after the six month time skip, even calling them his comrades.
* DemotedToExtra: While hardly an ''extra'', his role becomes much less prominent shortly after the beginning arcs. Yuno has a habit of vanishing from the story for extended periods of time because of his membership in the Golden Dawn. He's promoted back to being a main character following the Hot Springs Training Camp Arc, with him regaining focus and taking part in many important battles.
* {{Determinator}}: It's only natural that he's this after growing up with Asta. He refuses to give up against Mars even though his magic is unable to do anything against his diamond creations. And like his rival, he trains very hard to become stronger and achieve his goal of being the Wizard King.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: He ends up sharing this role with Noelle, with him having an important role in the arcs starting with the Magic Knights Exam and fighting together with Asta against Licht and [[spoiler:Zagred]] in the Reincarnation Arc.
* DoorstopBaby: He and Asta were abandoned at the Church's doorstep on the same day.
* DualityMotif: When using Spirit Dive, Yuno covers the left side of his body in green mana, gaining a left half-crown, bracelet, and fairy-like wing. This mirrors Asta's Black form, which covers the right side of his body in anti-magic.
* DullEyesOfUnhappiness: Yuno has these after [[spoiler:Zenon and his Dark Disciples attack Golden Dawn, killing half his squad dead, with Zenon easily defeating Yuno and capturing Vangeance.]]
* ElementalSpeed: Wind is a magic attribute focused on speed, and Yuno uses his magic to cast fast spells and fly through the air at great speeds.
* ElementalWeapon:
** He's fond of making these as projectiles with his Wind Magic, able to form a bow and arrows, countless blades, and a spear out of wind.
** His Spirit of Zephyr spell creates a large sword out of wind mana for him to wield while in [[FusionDance Spirit Dive]] that he can unleash gales of wind from it.
* EnsignNewbie: At the beginning of the story, Yuno is one of the newest recruits of Golden Dawn. He soon becomes one of the squad's strongest members, eventually becoming Vice Captain after the six month time skip.
* EyeColourChange: Using Spirit Dive turns Yuno's left eye green, to go with the rest of the transformed left side of his body.
* FanOfUnderdog: He'd never admit it out loud, but he does look up to Asta for constantly protecting him when they were little and trying his hardest despite his lack of magic and feels like he needs to repay him. He defends his friend against Klaus, telling him not to underestimate Asta.
* FlashStep: Combining his Spirit Dive with Mana Zone, he can avoid attacks fast enough to make it look like this, with the appearance of him dancing along a stream of wind.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Asta in almost every possible way. Yuno is talented, while Asta is the dunce without a shred of magical potential. Yuno is admired by all, while Asta is the laughingstock. Yuno is calm and level headed, while Asta is hyperactive and rarely thinks before he speaks. [[OppositesAttract They're]] [[OddFriendship best]] [[CoolKidAndLoserFriendship friends]].
** With Noelle. Yuno is a peasant who joins the aristocratic Golden Dawn, while Noelle is a royal who joins the Black Bulls, the lowest-ranked squad. Both were born with great magic potential, but Yuno has prodigious talent with his magic while Noelle struggles to properly control hers. Yuno is almost always composed, and Noelle tries to be this but can easily get flustered and riled up.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: There are clues leading up to the reveal that Yuno is [[spoiler:a prince of the Spade Kingdom:]]
** It's mentioned many times how unusual that Yuno, an orphaned peasant from the Forsaken Realm, has such strong magic. [[spoiler:His biological family were the royalty of the Spade Kingdom.]]
** Charmy calls Yuno her "meal-saving prince" after he saves her food from falling. Although she gives him the nickname because of his dignified good looks, he turns out to be a [[spoiler:literal prince.]]
** Yuno gains a half crown while using Spirit Dive. [[spoiler:A crown is a symbol of royalty fitting for a prince.]]
* FreudianTrio: Yuno is the Superego to Asta's Id and Noelle's Ego, acting cool, calm, and quiet most of the time.
* FriendlyRivalry: Seems to be the opposite at first given Yuno's somewhat condescending nature, but it's quickly made clear that it's this by the end of the first chapter. Despite their opposite personalities and innate talent, Yuno respects Asta greatly for his determination and has seen him as his savior since they were kids. Through their rivalry, the two push each other to become stronger.
* TheFriendNobodyLikes: The other knights in the Golden Dawn have expressed dismay that he's a peasant, since the entire rest of the squad is comprised of nobility. This is no longer the case after the six month time skip, with Yuno becoming Vice Captain and gaining his squad's respect.
* FusionDance: He becomes able to fuse with Sylph to enter his Spirit Dive form, giving him a dramatic increase in magic power and a fairy-like appearance.
* GenderBlenderName: Like Asta, Yuno is a female name, specifically based on Juno, the spiteful and jealous wife of Jupiter in Roman Mythology.
* TheGift: Yuno has had incredible magical potential since he was young. When the time came to receive a grimoire, he is chosen by a four-leaf clover grimoire, the highest level grimoire of them all.
* HairContrastDuo: The quiet, composed Yuno has messy black hair while the loud, excitable Asta, his best friend and rival, has spiky ash blonde hair.
* HeritageDisconnect: Even after seeing the memories of himself in infancy before he was left at the church and finding out that [[spoiler:he's the prince of the Spade Kingdom]], he still states that he's "Yuno of the Clover Kingdom".
* HeroesPreferSwords: Yuno is one of the main characters of the story and a selfless Magic Knight who hopes to become the Wizard King, and can wield a longsword made of wind mana in his Spirit Dive form.
* HeroicWillpower: Although it helps that the elf soul in his body is an unborn child's, Yuno's strong willpower is what stops him from being taken over, breaking free when Asta states that he'll become the Wizard King.
* HeroOfAnotherStory: Because we only see him when he crosses paths with Asta, a lot of his accomplishments happen offscreen, such as being named rookie of the year at the Star Festival for his contributions to Golden Dawn's ranking.
* HowlOfSorrow: He screams in the aftermath of [[spoiler:Zenon's attack on Golden Dawn that leaves half the squad dead, chastising himself for being too weak and wondering if he was stronger.]]
* IgnoreTheFanservice: More often in the anime:
** Yuno gets visibly uncomfortable when Asta points out Noelle's ClothingDamage after the fight with Mars.
** He doesn't react to a naked Noelle when they run into her and Vanessa at a swimwear shop, in contrast to Klaus who gets a large nosebleed.
** When asked by Yami if he wants to peep on the girls at the hot springs, Yuno casually refuses to Yami's irritation.
* ImmuneToMindControl: PlayedWith. Yuno is initially taken over by an elf but snaps out of it when Asta states that he'll become the Wizard King. You can't easily be possessed by a baby that never developed his own thoughts and feelings, even if the elves were sure that Licht's kid could control him.
* ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice: [[spoiler:He's impaled by Zenon's bone sword and left to bleed out. Thankfully, he's saved by Vangeance's Budding of Yggdrasil spell which heals him.]]
* InstantExpert:
** Averted. Despite his talent, he's seen working extremely hard in flashbacks to try and match the expectations placed upon him. He also has problems controlling Sylph's power until he proves his worth to her.
** Played straight with Mana Skin. Yuno grasps it in short time and combines it with his magic to easily fly up to the hot spring. Not long after he's mastered it to the point he can use Spirit Dive.
* IOweYouMyLife: Several times to Asta:
** When they were little, Asta fought off a thug who wanted to steal Yuno's necklace. This event led Yuno to feel indebted to Asta and vow to become more courageous.
** After Asta manifests his five-leaf grimoire, he saves Yuno from Revchi, with Yuno promising to repay him someday.
** In the dungeon, Yuno saves Asta saves from a magic trap, telling him that he repaid the favor. Soon after, Asta saves Yuno from Mars's giant mineral sword, with Yuno slightly irritated that he owes Asta his life again.
* IronicName: Yuno is named after the goddess Juno, the wife of Jupiter in Roman Mythology infamous for her jealousy over her husband's many affairs. Instead, Yuno is anything but jealous of his rival Asta, encouraging him to become stronger with the two maintaining a close bond.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Downplayed. Yuno is a cold young man who doesn't care about others' opinions of him, only concerned about Asta's, and is unbothered by his squad's contempt for him because he's a peasant. He nonchalantly disregards Alecdora's anger at him for not bothering to use his Spirit Magic against him in the Royal Knights Exam as well as his proclamation that he'll make Vangeance's dream come true:
-->'''Yuno:''' I don't know anything about other people's dreams. The only dreams I see are my own.
* KidHero: He's a main character and one of the youngest members of his squad due to recently receiving a grimoire at the age of 15 in the beginning of the story. And as a Magic Knight, he has the duty of protecting the Clover Kingdom.
* TheLancer: To Asta, his best friend with whom they fight many enemies together. While Asta is hot-blooded, outspoken, has no magic, and uses anti-magic swords to fight, Yuno is calm, quiet, was born with incredibly strong magic, and fights with ranged Wind Magic. Even their transformations contrast each other — Yuno's Spirit Dive transforms the left side of his body in relation to the transformed right side of Asta's Black form.
* LandSeaSky: Yuno is the Sky to Asta's Land and Noelle's Sea, using Wind Magic empowered by wind spirit Sylph.
* {{Leitmotif}}:
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wGRyPv92vYk "Like a Comet"]], with its tune fitting for his speedy Wind Magic.
** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4zNCknGc6oc "Spirit Pledge"]] plays during moments when he enters Spirit Dive.
* LightIsGood: Some time after joining Golden Dawn, Yuno begins wearing the squad's uniform, which is mostly white with gold accents. His Spirit Dive form also covers him in light green mana that forms a half-crown and bracelet of crosses along with a fairy-like wing. He's a courageous Magic Knight who's protective of those he cares for.
* LightningBruiser: A magical one. Thanks to his magic, Yuno can move very fast and hit very hard with powerful gusts and wind blades. Even moreso while in Spirit Dive, giving Yuno a boost in Magic power which lets him briefly keep up with Licht.
* LostOrphanedRoyalty: [[spoiler:In Chapter 233, it's revealed that he's a member of the Spade Kingdom's royal family. Yuno himself is shocked by the reveal and doesn't want to accept it, declaring himself Yuno of the Clover Kingdom.]]
* MageMarksman: He can use his Wind Magic to cast the spell Swift White Bow, forming a large wind bow and six arrows to fire at enemies. The arrows can even block enemy attacks and then split apart to continue targeting the foe.
* MagicKnight: Yuno becomes this while using Spirit Dive, using his spell Spirit of Zephyr to form a two-handed sword out of wind.
* MessyHair: His black hair is pretty untidy, with strands jutting out in different directions. Flashbacks show that he's had it since he was young.
* MistakenForGay: When asked by Yami why he won't peep on the girls, Asta states that he isn't interested because he's only bathed with guys, to Yuno's irritation.
-->''"Hey, Asta. Quit saying things people are going to misinterpret."''
* NoLastNameGiven: This is justified again, as he was also left at the orphanage with clothing bearing only his first name and no knowledge of his family. Yuno doesn't know what his last name or family would be. In the one-shot, his last name was Crossley. [[spoiler:Later on, it's revealed that his birth name is Yuno Grinberryall.]]
* NonUniformUniform: After joining Golden Dawn, he wears the squad's mantle but eschews wearing its signature red and white uniform, representing his status as a peasant outcast among the otherwise noble and royal squad. Beginning with the Forest of Witches Arc, he wears the squad's uniform regularly.
* NoSocialSkills: Although Yuno seems cold and aloof, he's actually just quiet and has problems communicating with most people except Asta, his best friend and foster brother who he grew up with. He doesn't care about befriending any of his squadmates at first and his BrutalHonesty causes him to provoke some people. He does improve over time, becoming closer to his fellow Golden Dawn members like Klaus and Mimosa.
* NotQuiteFlight:
** He rides a tornado through the air with his Celestial Wind Ark spell.
** He can use a combination of Mana Skin and his Wind Magic to glide through the air.
* NotSoAboveItAll: Despite his air of indifference and maturity, Yuno can be quite childish, sulking when he doesn't want to answer a question and being more passionate about their rivalry than Asta himself at times. When Asta tells him not to get overconfident, he unleashes a powerful wind spell that could have killed him and Noelle just so Asta could dispel it and receive Yuno's message:
-->''"Later [[InsultOfEndearment Shortsta]]."''
* NotSoStoic:
** He can't do anything against Mars's Mineral Magic and is told by him to stop. He gets riled up and shouts that he's not giving up.
** Yuno gets nervous when Mereoleona forcibly drags him to the Yultim Volcano for training. At the hot springs, he gets visibly angry when Asta tells Yami that he isn't interested in peeping on the girls because he's only bathed with guys.
** He's unnerved when he encounters Licht, intimidated by the fantastic density of his mana, and later becomes overwhelmed by his power when he and Asta fight Licht.
** When Zenon and his Dark Disciple attack the Golden Dawn, Yuno is enraged at Gaderois for [[spoiler:killing his comrades. He becomes very nervous when he meets Zenon, remembering him his face from Ralph's memories which showed him overthrowing the Spade Kingdom.]]
* NumberTwo: After the six month time skip, Yuno's become the Vice Captain of Golden Dawn and is now respected by his squadmates.
* ObliviousToLove: He doesn't seem seem to notice Charmy's blatant crush on him or probably doesn't care.
* OddFriendship: With Asta, who is the complete opposite of Yuno in terms of temperament and magical ability. They're best friends who grew up together in the same church and friendly rivals.
* OnlyOneName: Due to being left at a church as an infant, Yuno has no surname, unlike most of the rest of the cast. [[spoiler:It's later revealed that his family name is Grinberryall.]]
* OrphansPlotTrinket: He was left at the orphanage with his magic stone necklace. [[spoiler:It's a sign that he is the son of the Grinberryall family, the previous royalty of the Spade Kingdom.]]
* OutOfFocus: Despite being one of the main characters, Yuno is noticeably absent in many of the early arcs due to being in a different squad from Asta. This is rectified following the Hot Springs Training Camp Arc, with Yuno taking part in many important battles and showcasing his new powers.
* ParentalAbandonment: He was left at the orphanage's doorstep. Yuno shares this aspect with Asta, who was left there along with him. They grew up together and became each others' rivals, and thus the two are like BloodBrothers in the absence of actual blood relatives/family. [[spoiler:His family's servant left him there after the Dark Triad killed his parents.]]
* PennyAmongDiamonds: He joins the Golden Dawn, which is mostly comprised of nobles who look down on him due to his peasant background. He doesn't seem to mind their opinions much, and usually spends time with the kind Mimosa and Klaus, who warm up to him eventually. [[spoiler:Then it's subverted when it's revealed that Yuno is of higher standing than any of them as the crown prince of the Spade Kingdom.]]
* PersonalityPowers: Although Yuno isn't free-spirited and energetic befitting his attribute, his Wind Magic does incorporate a lot of RazorWind, and he can be very cutting with his honest, snarky remarks.
* PowerDyesYourHair: When he uses Spirit Dive, Yuno has part of his body covered in green mana, giving his black hair a green tint. After hosting the soul of Licht's child, using the form turns the left half of Yuno's hair a bright light green.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Gains a single greenish wing over his left arm upon absorbing the mana from his spirit Sylph.
* PowerGlows: Spirit Dive gives Yuno a tremendous boost in magic power, and covers the left side of his body in glowing green mana.
* PowerIncontinence: He suffers from this after gaining Sylph. He can't summon her on command and the magic seems to have a mind of its own much to his frustration. It's resolved when he proves himself worthy by using mana sensing to defeat Catherine.
* PowerStereotypeFlip: Wind users are usually portrayed as cheerful and free-spirited. Instead, Yuno's very calm and serious, usually acting unflappable. This is made especially apparent with his interactions with Sylph, the energetic, playful wind spirit.
* PrimaryColorChampion: Later on, Yuno begins wearing the standard Golden Dawn uniform, consisting of a red and white jacket trimmed with gold and blue and a blue cape. He's also one of the main characters.
* PrivilegedRival: In contrast to his rival Asta, who was born with no magic at all and joins the worst Magic Knights squad, Yuno was born blessed with great magical power and joins the best squad. Although they both grew up in the same church as orphaned peasants, it's later revealed that [[spoiler:Yuno is the son of the Spade Kingdom's former royal family, which explains why he's such an innately powerful mage.]]
* TheQuietOne: Yuno is one of the quietest characters, speaking only when he needs to express his thoughts and usually silent unless the situation is dire. Flashbacks show that even when he was young Yuno was shy and quiet, in contrast to the more loud, talkative Asta.
* RankUp: After the six-month timeskip he's become the Vice Captain of Golden Dawn.
* RavenHairIvorySkin: He has black hair and pale skin, and is noted to be handsome by many people. The [[AllInTheManual Volume 12 Questions Brigade]] states that he's the most beautiful man among the characters.
* RazorWind: Several of his attacks are this, such as Crescent Moon Sickle. As he develops his magic, Yuno favors forming blades out of wind.
* RedGreenContrast: Childhood friends and rivals Asta and Yuno contrast with each other in various ways. One of these contrasts in the anime portray Yuno's four-leaf clover grimoire glowing bright green when in use, while Asta's five-leaf clover grimoire glows an ominous red.
* RedOniBlueOni: He is the Blue Oni to Asta's Red Oni, with the latter having a [[HotBlooded very excitable]] personality when compared to Yuno's [[TheStoic straight laced]] one. This contrast was in effect even when they were ''babies'', with Asta loudly crying, while Yuno was sleeping peacefully.
* RelativeButton: One of the fastest ways to anger the usually composed Yuno is to harm Asta, his best friend and foster brother. When Sekke attempts to after the Magic Knights Entrance Exam, Yuno stops him with a TranquilFury that makes Sekke shiver in fear.
* TheRival: He may be TheStoic Blue Oni to Asta's Red Oni, but he takes their rivalry ''even more'' seriously than Asta does.
* RotatingProtagonist: The first arc after the six month TimeSkip has the main trio spread out throughout the continent and facing a different member of the Dark Triad shortly after Asta separates from Noelle. Yuno fights Zenon when he and his Dark Disciples attack the Golden Dawn HQ to kidnap Vangeance.
* SatelliteCharacter: He suffers from this in the beginning despite being a main character due to being in a different squad, only interacting with and thinking of Asta. As time passes, his relationships with other characters such as his squadmates is seen more and his origins become important.
* SayMyName: To Asta as Yuno desperately tries to save him from being killed by Mars.
* SensorCharacter: As a wind mage, Yuno is particularly good at detecting mana. When his senses are deprived by Catherine, he shows astonishing ability with mana detection, using it to locate her presence and defeat her with Sylph's power.
* SharingABody: It turns out that he shares his body with the soul of Licht's unborn child, but unlike the others whose bodies are used to reincarnate the elves, Yuno is unaffected by the possession; he helps save Asta and Mimosa from Licht and the other elves.
* SignificantWardrobeShift: After befriending Mimosa and Klaus, having been friendless among his squad because of his peasant background, Yuno switches from wearing his outfit from the clothes he wore when living in Hage to the Golden Dawn uniform.
* SoreLoser: He ''hates'' losing and describes himself as a really bad loser, so much that he gains some control of Sylph's power out of frustration for being on the losing side. Yuno says that he's completely fine as he sweats excessively when Leopold heats the hot springs to melt his cool off, then cheating by cooling himself off with wind.
* SpontaneousWeaponCreation:
** He usually does this with his magic, forming arrows and blades out of compressed wind to use as projectiles.
** He later learns to form a {{BFS}} out of wind to wield while in Spirit Dive.
* StockShonenRival: Subverted. He's introduced as this type of character (tall, handsome, cool-headed, aloof, smart, very talented) but it quickly turns out that he just became very reserved and stoic in an attempt to leave behind his weak crybaby past, and not only does he care deeply (and, by genre standards, pretty openly) about his rival and childhood friend Asta, he's also one of the few people who actually believe in his ability to make it big and views him as his main motivation.
* TheStoic: His expression rarely changes, even in the direst of situations.
* StormOfBlades:
** His spell Wind Blade Shower conjures countless wind blades to launch at an enemy.
** When using [[AreaOfEffect Mana Zone]], he can form many [[RazorWind wind blades]] that can cut through spells.
* StrongAndSkilled: Through his heightened mana sensing after temporarily losing his five senses, increased mana control, and training to use Mana Skin at all times, Yuno learns to controls his excessive mana. This leads him to gain the technique of Spirit Assimilation: Spirit Dive, allowing Yuno to hold Sylph's power within him to gain a tremendous boost in mana.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: According to Ralph, he's the spitting image of his father [[spoiler:Ciel Grinberryall.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Yuno is usually very calm and emotionless, speaking only when he needs to and is often [[BrutalHonesty brutally honest]] in the process. However, he's much kinder around his foster siblings and Asta, even attacking him with his magic to make him look good at the Star Festival, and eventually some of his comrades in Golden Dawn. He shows himself to be very protective of those he cares for, fiercely fighting to save his foster family from a reincarnated elf.
* SummonMagic: He learns from a scroll he found in the Treasure Trove, summoning a small pixie that one-shots Mars just by blowing a puff of air at him. This is right after Mars one-shotted Asta. It turns out that the pixie is Sylph, one of the four elemental avatars with her element being wind.
* SuperMode: His Spirit Dive form by assimilating Sylph. His left arm turns green, a green circle of crosses surrounds his wrist, and he [[PowerGivesYouWings gains a green wing]] and [[CoolCrown half-crown of crosses]].
* SupernaturalGoldEyes: Yuno has amber eyes and was born blessed with tremendous amounts of mana and powerful magic.
* SuperpowerLottery: Yuno was born with immense magical power as is a brilliant prodigy at using it. And his Wind Magic is soon enhanced by Sylph, the elemental spirit of wind, choosing him as her partner. This is downplayed because, while he is incredibly gifted, his power isn't a story-breaker. Furthermore, even he isn't strong enough to defeat powerful enemies like Licht, Zagred, and Zenon by himself.
* TalentedButTrained: Yuno was born with immense magical potential and even as a child he had a talent for magic. Despite this, as shown in flashbacks, he trained very hard to meet others' expectations for him, and like Asta he trains rigorously for six months to prepare for the Magic Knights Exam.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: A full head taller than Asta and taller than most of the teen characters, black-haired, noted by many people to be handsome, and a cool, calm demeanor.
* TallDarkAndSnarky: Black-haired, handsome, 172 cm[[note]]5'7"[[/note]] at the age of 15, and can be sharply critical with his honesty at times, especially around Asta and Klaus.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** He gains the favor of the wind spirit Sylph, giving him Spirit Magic that increases his spells' power.
** By the time of the Royal Knights Exam, he learns Spirit Dive, fusing with Sylph to gain a dramatic boost to his mana. Not long after, it's revealed that he gained the power to use Mana Zone, increasing the potency and range of his spells.
** Like all the humans possessed by elves, his mana gets much stronger after being the host of the soul of Licht's child.
* TornadoMove:
** Yuno's spell Towering Tornado forms a large one that can send an enemy flying. After learning Mana Zone, he can form it inside an enemy's spell to destroy it from the inside.
** His Tornado Fang creates a large drilling tornado strong enough to blow away many enemies as well as shatter rock.
* TrainingFromHell: He's subjected to this by Mereoleona at the Yultim Volcano, where he practices Mana Skin.
* TranquilFury: How his anger is unless he really gets enraged. He stops Sekke from harming Asta with a cold look on his face that makes the latter shiver.
* TrueCompanions: With Asta. They were left at the church's doorstep on the same day and have been together since then before becoming Magic Knights. He later proclaims that Mimosa and Klaus are this to him as well.
* {{Tsundere}}: Platonic example, but yes, really. The third novel that has Yuno as the central character gives him quite a bit of monologue about his relationship with Asta:
-->The Yuno that exists today is here because of that day when they decided to share the same dream, because of that moment when they decided to compete over who would become the Wizard King. Instead of following behind him, he wanted to see the same scenery as Asta. In other words, the reason he has been able to do his best all this time is all because of Asta. Of course, he had no intention to ever say all that. It would be too embarrassing. He was sure that, even in the future, he’ll continue to dodge the issue by joking around like this [...] Besides, he can inspire Asta more by making jabs at him rather than by giving him a simple "thank you".
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The core trio of the series consists of Asta and Yuno as the Two Guys and Noelle as the Girl.
* UndyingLoyalty: Different from many other shonen rivals, Yuno has a deep friendship with Asta and both of them try to encourage each other. At first, he was the only one that fully believed that Asta was able of getting a grimoire and, even with the risk of dying against Mars, he kept being inspired by Asta's motto of never giving up.
* UnknownRival: He's the target of Alecdora's intense envy for being favored by Vangeance in spite of being a peasant. Yuno, on the other hand, doesn't care about Alecdora's dislike of him. When they fight at the Royal Knights Examination and Alecdora proclaims that he'll be the one to fulfill Vangeance's dreams, Yuno easily destroys his spell from within and dismisses him, telling Alecdora the only dreams he cares about are his own.
* UnwantedHarem: Charmy and Sylph both fall for him, and after the timeskip he has many fan clubs in the kingdom, all of whom he's completely indifferent to.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: Non-villainous example. His personality was much more sweet in his childhood than in the present. He used to cry a lot and was much more shy, and was always looking up to Asta instead of teasing him. The change was most likely due to the promise he made to himself of never crying again, after Asta protected him against a robber.
* WaveMotionGun: In Spirit Dive, he can use the spell Spirit Storm, unleashing a giant beam of green mana. It's stronger when Yuno casts it while using Mana Zone, allowing him to fire it from behind Licht.
* WeirdnessCensor: He doesn't care that he suddenly has elf ears, and when people point it out, he either pretends it's normal or gives far too short and completely false answers as to why they're like that:
-->''"[[BlatantLies I'm just brimming over with power, that's all]]."''
* WhenHeSmiles: Yuno usually has a calm, stoic face but when he does genuinely smile it's this. When he smiles at seeing Asta at Kiten, Sylph gets jealous and Charmy calls it a refreshing breeze. One of his squad members notes it's a better look for him.
* WindIsGreen: He's a powerful wind mage, and his grimoire and mana are green, with some of his spells having a significant green tint to them.
* TheWorfEffect:
** Him, Klaus, and Mimosa suffer this at the hands of Mars, despite being from the best squad and Yuno's ace tendencies. This serves the purpose of demonstrating how freakishly powerful Mars is, and Asta would need more than standard determination and anti-magic to defeat him.
** Asta and Yuno are easily defeated by a reincarnated Licht, who did not even have his grimoire, despite using their transformations. This is to show that defeating the newly reincarnated elves won't be easy.
** Yuno's defeat by [[spoiler:Zenon, who only uses 55% of his devil's power despite Yuno being ranked a Zero Stage at this point]], establishes the Dark Triad as an extremely powerful group of mages.
* WorldsMostBeautifulWoman: A RareMaleExample. According to the [[AllInTheManual Volume 12 Questions Brigade]], Yuno is the most beautiful man among the characters.
* WreckedWeapon: His Spirit of Zephyr is cut through by [[spoiler:Zenon's bone sword shortly after he releases 55% of his devil's power, with a defeated and impaled Yuno seen right after.]]
* XMakesAnythingCool: His first outfit has him wear a pair of brown belts that cross each other in an "X" shape.
* YouAreBetterThanYouThinkYouAre: In Chapter 1, when Asta is about to give up against Revchi after learning he has no magic, Yuno states that Asta is no loser and his rival, which motivates Asta and helps him gain his grimoire.
* YouAreInCommandNow: As vice captain of the Golden Dawn, he acts as captain after [[spoiler:Vangeance is captured by Zenon, taking his place at the captains' meeting.]]
* YoungAndInCharge: Following the six month time skip, Yuno is 17 and now the new Vice Captain of Golden Dawn. Made even more impressive by the fact that he had joined the Magic Knights at the age of 15, the youngest age possible, and attained his position after only 18 months.

[[folder:Noelle Silva]]
!!Noelle Silva
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Kana Yuuki (Japanese), Creator/JillHarris (English)[[note]]'''Other Languages:''' Alicia Vélez (Latin American Spanish)[[/note]]
!!!'''Debut:''' Chapter 4 (Manga), Episode 4 (Anime)
!!!'''Magic Attribute:''' [[MakingASplash Water]]

[[quoteright:330:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/bc_noelle_silva.png]]
[[caption-width-right:330:''[[KillItWithWater Sea Goddess]]'']]

->''"Don't address me casually. Little insect with your paltry magic."''

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, she 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.
----
* ActionGirl: Noelle develops into this over time as she improves her [[PowerIncontinence magic control]], becoming an integral member of the main team with the offensive and defensive properties of her water magic. She fully evolves into one when she obtains her Valkyrie Armor, manifesting an armor to fight in close combat with a lance and spells.
* BalanceSpeedStrengthTrio: Noelle is the Balance to Yuno's Speed and Asta's Strength with a good balance of defensive and offensive water spells.
* BarrierWarrior: She becomes one in Chapter 7 with Sea Dragon's Lair. She manages to protect an entire group of villagers from a hail of jagged ice shards with it, allowing Asta to go on the offensive.
* TheBeautifulElite: Noelle is a royal from the elite Silva family and dresses the part with a refined white blazer and purple dress. Her looks have several men find her attractive and Finral refer to her as a "royal babe". And according to the [[AllInTheManual Volume 12 Questions Brigade]], she's the second most beautiful woman among the characters.
* BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: This is the reason why she stays with the Black Bulls: because they didn't look down upon her when they found out that she couldn't control her magic.
* BeneathTheMask:
** This occasionally happens either when things are going well or she is praised for something. On the outside, she pretends to be haughty and aloof, while on the inside, she's shown to be very happy.
** Noelle tells off the Black Bulls for showing up late to help fight the elves at the Clover Castle, telling them that she held them off with a new spell. She then admits to herself that she was scared and is glad that they're here.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Asta's Archie and Mimosa's Betty because she is a haughty and aloof girl. Incidentally, both of them are royalty instead of one or the other.
* BigBrotherWorship: Noelle greatly respects her older siblings, especially Nozel, and desires their approval due to their low opinion of her because of Noelle's bad magic control. She grows out of it after joining the Black Bulls, telling Solid that she's already been acknowledged by people better than him.
* BigDamnHeroes: She pulls a big one in Chapter 176 when she steps in to join Nozel in fighting off Kivn and the elves to get Nebra some medical attention.
* BigEgoHiddenDepths: Noelle is first seen to be arrogant and proud over being a royal, disparaging Asta and thinking herself to be too good for the Black Bulls. Soon after it's revealed that she has bad magic control, which led her to be mocked by her family and desperately desire their acknowledgement. Much of her CharacterDevelopment has Noelle overcome her deep insecurity by honing her magic potential.
* BlackMage: When Noelle learns Sea Dragon's Roar, Yami notes that she's an incredible attack mage even for her great latent abilities. Although she still uses her defensive spells, she makes the most of her magic when using it offensively.
* BlackSheep: Appropriately enough, she is this to her family since she has trouble controlling her magic.
* BlessedWithSuck: Even for a royal, Noelle was born with an incredibly large amount of magic power. However, this is part of the reason for her lack of control of said magic, due to its vast power, which is worsened by her siblings mistreating her for her bad control. Thinking that Asta will mock her causes Noelle to accidentally let her magic rampage, trapping herself in a giant sphere of water that she has to be saved from.
* BlondeBrunetteRedhead:
** Of the girls who accompany Asta to the Heart Kingdom, Noelle is the Blonde to Nero's Brunette and Mimosa's Redhead.
** Lolopechka becomes the Brunette after they befriend her during the six month timeskip, with Nero usually in her bird form.
* BoobsOfSteel: Her Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form shows that she's become quite busty after the time skip. And by then, she's become a powerful attack mage.
* BornWinner: Her mana pool is enormous even for a royal. According to Tabata, her latent magic is about the same as her mother Acier, who even Mereoleona could never beat, and Julius, the Wizard King. She almost never has to worry about the same problems most of the commoners (who almost always have tiny reserves) in the Black Bulls have with using too much magic in one go. The only downside is most of her offensive spells like Sea Dragon's Roar take so much of it that it needs more than her squadmates could ever have at once (aside from maybe fellow nobles Finral and Henry due to his ability to stockpile whatever he absorbs), which drains even her magic in just a few uses. With training, she rectifies her magic usage to be able to cast more spells.
* BorrowedCatchphrase: She yells out Asta's "[[SurvivalMantra I'm not done yet!]]" when she refuses to give up fighting against [[spoiler:Vanica despite their power difference]], showing how much Asta has influenced Noelle into becoming a {{Determinator}} like him.
* {{Catchphrase}}: "I'm royalty."
* ChainmailBikini: Justified. Her Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form is a bikini top and mermaid tail made of water that's meant for underwater combat.
* CharacterDevelopment:
** Noelle goes from being an UpperClassTwit who thought her royalty status made her superior to others to a caring young woman who considers it her duty to protect the weak and helpless, even her older siblings. So much so that she comes to believe that royals should help others because they have the best magic in the kingdom.
** She begins as an insecure young woman due to her inability to control her magic, which made her mocked by her older siblings all her life. She becomes a much happier and more confident person after joining the Black Bulls, which helps her control her magic.
* CharacterTics:
** She tends to flip her hair with her hand in moments of arrogance.
** She often turns her head in a HaughtyHmph.
* ClashingCousins: Downplayed. Although they're usually friendly with each other, Noelle has this with her cousin Mimosa over their mutual crush Asta, with the two bothered by each other's displays of affection towards him.
* ClingyJealousGirl:
** Although she denies her feelings for Asta, she gets jealous when Mimosa starts developing romantic feelings for Asta herself.
** She follows Asta to the mixer, going as far as working as a waitress in the restaurant in order to watch him. She even follows him all the way to Nairn when he visits Rebecca. When Rebecca kisses Asta on the cheek as thanks for saving her siblings, Noelle's upset to say the least.
* ClothingDamage:
** Getting attacked by Mars partially tears Noelle's dress and jacket, exposing part of her breasts. She gets really embarrassed when Asta points it out.
** Vanica's Curse-Warding Magic causes parts of her water armor to dissipate wherever the curse markings were afflicted.
* CombatStilettos: Her Valkyrie Armor gives her heeled chausses as well as a boost in magical power and speed.
* CoolCrown: She gains a tiara made of water when using her Valkyrie Armor, fitting her royal status.
* CovertPervert: Despite her air of superiority, she has these moments regarding Asta. Notably, when Mereoleona tells them she's dragging them to a hot spring, she imagines Asta asking her to wash his back. She promptly [[{{Tsundere}} slaps Asta]].
* CryCute: When the Black Bulls welcome her in spite of her bad magic control, Noelle, who had been cold up to then and thought herself to be too good for the squad, sheds small TearsOfJoy and accepts Asta's hand.
* CurbStompBattle:
** Most of her fights tend to be one-sided in her favor with the exception of Vetto, who still took far more damage than he had any single character from only ''one'' attack. The only one who was more effective in one hit against him was [[PersonOfMassDestruction Yami]].
** In the first round of the tournament, she destroys Solid in one move with Sea Dragon's Roar. ''While holding herself back''.
* CutenessProximity: She finds Nero adorable and is fully willing to take care of her despite the fact that she hates anyone with high magical power (namely her). [[spoiler:Noelle even thinks Nero's human form is cute.]]
* DanceBattler: Using her Valkyrie Armor gives Noelle perfect grasp of the mana surrounding her armor, letting her move through mana currents like a graceful dance to dodge enemy attacks.
* DarkHorseSibling: Growing up, Noelle was ridiculed by her older siblings for her bad magic control. After gradually honing her magic, she defeats her brother Solid in the Royal Knights Selection Exam to his disbelief. And when they're endangered by an elf, she learns a new spell to save them.
* DarkSecret: [[spoiler:Megicula cursing Acier to death before Noelle was born]] was kept a closely guarded secret by Nozel to prevent the curse from spreading; he never told his siblings the truth about what happened to Acier. Noelle doesn't find out about this until Nozel tells her to ask Dorothy in her Glamour World.
* DeathOrGloryAttack: Her Sea Dragon's Roar spell. It's powerful enough to rip off Vetto's arm, but uses up all her mana and leaves Noelle helpless afterwards. When attacking Salamander, she bets it all on the spell, which does defeat it. No longer the case after Noelle improves her mana use, letting her cast it without exhausting her magic power.
* DefrostingIceQueen: She is introduced as an extremely proud royal who is unwilling to do anything anyone else says, as she doesn't want to appear weak in front of others. Asta and the gang's willingness to help her gain control of her powers and accept her for who she really is to warm up to them, but she still maintains her haughtiness around others.
* {{Determinator}}: Flashbacks show that Noelle would keep on practicing her magic control all the time despite constant failures, never giving up. Her cousin Mimosa admires her for this because nobles look down on hard work, seeing it as something those who aren't born into power do. It pays off when she manifests her Valkyrie Armor to save her siblings, with it explicitly stated that she could do so ''because'' she trained hard to hone her enormous amount of magic.
* {{Deuteragonist}}: Despite debuting in Chapter 4 and not appearing in the first cover page, she ends up sharing this role with Yuno due to almost appearing in every arc Asta is in, even when she's separated from him.
* DislikesTheNewGuy: Despite being a new member at the time of her introduction, Noelle disapproves of Asta joining the Black Bulls, given that he has no magic. However, she eventually reconsiders her opinion of Asta once he and the other Black Bulls help her accept who she really is.
* DreadfulMusician: According to the [[AllInTheManual Volume 14 Questions Brigade]], Noelle is the worst singer among the characters.
* DudeMagnet: Sekke, Finral, and some bystanders in Kikka all find her attractive, and Kiato ends up having a crush on her.
* ElementalArmor: Noelle's Valkyrie Armor spell compresses her mana to form a water armor that lets her control the mana around her to move through the air.
* ElementalBarrier:
** Her spell Sea Dragon's Lair forms a large spherical water barrier with whirlpools that can block piercing attacks.
** Motivated to help the Black Bulls, she learns the spell Sea Dragon's Cradle, which forms a large water sphere, to transport them to the Underwater Temple.
* ElementalRivalry: With her cousin Mimosa for Asta's affection. Noelle favors attacking with Water Magic while Mimosa mostly uses Plant Recovery Magic.
* ElementalWeapon: She forms a lance out of water when using Valkyrie Armor.
* EnsignNewbie: At the beginning of the story, Noelle and Asta are the newest recruits of the Black Bulls. She eventually becomes one of the squad's strongest members.
* TheExile: Noelle accompanies Asta and the rest of the Black Bulls as they go into a self-imposed exile in an effort to investigate the devils.
* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: After the six month time skip, Noelle ties her pigtails with purple ribbons.
* FeatherMotif: Noelle's white blazer ends in frills resembling feathers, like the clothing worn by her siblings, and on the cover of Volume 19 she's surrounded by feathers and a wing. She gradually frees herself from her family's abuse in the past and gains more confidence. When she obtains her Valkyrie Armor, which features featherlike ear ornaments, Noelle states that she feels like she's been freed from her cage.
* FireForgedFriends: Along with the other Black Bulls, Noelle becomes much closer with her squadmates through facing dangers together such as saving Saussy and fighting members of the Eye of the Midnight Sun.
* {{Foil}}:
** To Mimosa, her rival for Asta's love. Noelle has been mocked all her life for her uncontrollable magic but grows to become an attack mage, while Mimosa is praised for her Recovery Magic. In battle, Noelle forms an offensive water armor while Mimosa uses a healing flower robe. While Noelle is a {{Tsundere}} to Asta who denies her feelings for him, Mimosa is openly affectionate towards Asta. Noelle also often brings up her status as royalty. In contrast, Mimosa is much more modest about it.
** With Yuno. Yuno is a peasant who joins the aristocratic Golden Dawn, while Noelle is a royal who joins the Black Bulls, the lowest-ranked squad. Both were born with great magic potential, but Yuno has prodigious talent with his magic while Noelle struggles to properly control hers. Yuno is almost always composed, and Noelle tries to be this but can easily get flustered and riled up.
** To Fana (more specifically the Elf). Both are powerful female mages whose magics manifest as dragons. Noelle uses Water Magic while Fana uses Flame Magic. Noelle's cold demeanor hides a hidden sweeter side, but underneath Fana's emotionlessness is a psychotic rage. When they fight again after Fana is reincarnated a second time, Noelle has developed her magic to become more of an attack mage, forming her water armor, while Fana has lost the power of Salamander and become an even greater recovery mage, regenerating the entire upper half of her body.
** Also to Leopold. Both are the youngest of their siblings and try to surpass them. Noelle uses Water Magic and Leopold uses Flame Magic. Leopold has a good relationship with his siblings, while Noelle is mocked by hers for her bad magic control. Noelle keeps many of her emotions to herself. Leopold, on the other hand, is much more emotional and hot-blooded.
* FreudianExcuse: She acts like an UpperClassTwit at the beginning of the series due to the horrific abuse she suffered at the hands of her older siblings.
* FreudianTrio: Noelle is the Ego to Asta's Id and Yuno's Superego, switching between both extremes at times due to her {{Tsundere}} personality but usually falling in the middle.
* FromNobodyToNightmare: She's introduced as royalty who can't control her magic. But over the course of the story, she becomes a powerful Magic Knight thanks to the kindness and friendship of the Black Bulls.
* GenerationXerox:
** Noelle gradually becomes a powerful mage like her late mother Acier, learning a spell that clads her in an armor highly reminiscent of her mother's.
** [[spoiler:Vanica believes this, noting Noelle's armor's similarity to Acier's and recalling how Acier became much stronger after she took a child hostage. She kidnaps Lolopechka to goad Noelle into getting stronger too.]]
* GirlishPigtails: Noelle wears her hair in two tight twin tails, in the style of the classic "tsundere tails", even when playing at the beach.
* GirlyBruiser: She's a stuck-up royal who has refined tastes and wears a dress regularly. She also becomes a powerful attack mage, eventually developing a spell to encase herself in an elegant water armor to move fast and hit hard with a spiraling lance.
* GlassCannon: Once she learns Sea Dragon's Roar. It's powerful enough to rip off Vetto's arm and defeat the flame spirit Salamander, but casting it uses up the entirety of Noelle's mana, making her essentially helpless afterwards. She rectifies this as she improves her mana usage.
* GracefulLadiesLikePurple: She wears a short purple dress under her blazer, purple earrings, and purple hair ribbons after the time skip, and is an aloof, feminine young lady from a royal family.
* HasAType: According to the [[AllThereInTheManual Volume 12 Questions Brigade]], she likes guys who are dumb and straightforward, which perfectly fits [[IdiotHero Asta]].
* HaughtyHmph: She's really fond of doing this (or a personal variation sounding more like "ungh") when she tries to show off her arrogant side.
* HeroicLineage: Noelle is the daughter of Acier Silva, a Magic Knight famed for her beauty and strength who trained Mereoleona. As a Silva, she's also a descendant of the first Wizard King, Lumiere Silvamillion Clover.
* HomeFieldAdvantage: Lolopechka's Ludic Sanctuary creates a massive body of water that boosts Noelle's magic, entering her Mermaid Form meant for fighting underwater.
* IJustWantToBeLoved:
** Noelle desperately wants to be loved by her biological family, who mocked her for her PowerIncontinence as well as her indirect involvement in their mother's death. She does find love and acceptance in the Black Bulls instead, which helps her become happier and confident. Eventually, once she rescues her siblings from Kivn's assault, they reconcile with her for good.
** PlayedForLaughs in Dorothy's Glamour World, where it's revealed that Noelle secretly wants Asta and Nozel to be openly affectionate with her, to her embarrassed denial.
* IneptMage: Noelle has incredible magic potential even for a royal, but her bad magic control makes her spells veer in unexpected directions and more often than not hit her allies instead. She grows out of this over time as she gains control over her magic.
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex: In the story's beginning, Noelle is a haughty royal who believes that she's superior to commoners because she's been mocked all her life by her family for her PowerIncontinence, giving her very low self-esteem as a result. By being accepted by the Black Bulls and gaining confidence as she develops her magic, she grows out of it, even telling a little peasant girl at the Star Festival that social status shouldn't matter.
* InstantArmor:
** Her Valkyrie Armor spell compresses her mana to form an armor made of water.
** After training during the TimeSkip, she gains Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form, a variation made for underwater combat.
* InstantAwesomeJustAddDragons: Her spell Sea Dragon's Roar forms a giant blast of water with the head of a dragon. It's powerful enough to rip off [[TheJuggernaut Vetto]]'s arm and defeat the flame spirit Salamander.
* IronicName: "Noelle" is a name distantly derived from the Latin word "natalis", which means birthday. She was mocked by her older siblings for indirectly causing her mother Acier's DeathByChildbirth as well as her PowerIncontinence.
* ItsPersonal: Although the other Black Bulls wish to defeat the devils of the Spade Kingdom to clear Asta's name, Noelle has her personal motives to defeat [[spoiler:Vanica who, with Megicula, fatally cursed her mother Acier, and Lolopechka, who she befriends after six months, to die. It becomes even more personal when Vanica takes Lolopechka hostage in hopes that Noelle becomes stronger.]]
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: She's often a jerk to her fellow teammates, such as Asta, but she still loves and respects them as friends, as well as her siblings. Despite her flaws, she can also be really nice to others as well.
* JoustingLance: Using her Valkyrie Armor gives her one made of spiraling water. Because of its drilling properties, she uses it to override Kivn's Compass Magic and defeat her.
* JustFriends: Through character development she becomes more comfortable with her affection for Asta. Instead of trying to convince herself that she doesn't care about him at all, she has elevated to a justification of professional/friendly concern. She only likes him as far as being his squadmate, which is ''[[SarcasmMode definitely]]'' not a romantic crush.
* KickingAssInAllHerFinery: Her normal outfit is a long, frilled white jacket and a purple dress, and she grows from being unable to control her magic into a LadyOfWar.
* KidHero: She's a main character and one of the youngest members of her squad due to recently receiving a grimoire at the age of 15 in the beginning of the story. And as a Magic Knight, she has the duty of protecting the Clover Kingdom.
* KillItWithWater: Due to the vast amounts of water she can produce, her magic often veers to this. Her Sea Dragon's Roar spell rips off Vetto's arm and likely would have defeated him if not for his Mythical Beast Magic, and is the reason for her epithet "Sea Goddess".
* LadyLegionnaireWear: Her Valkyrie Armor gives her a short segmented skirt made of water.
* LadyOfBlackMagic: A graceful royal in an elegant purple dress and white blazer, she channels this when she manifests her Sea Dragon's Roar spell, with Yami noting how powerful she is as an Attack Mage once she controls her magic. She becomes a MagicKnight version when she gains Valkyrie Armor.
* LadyOfWar: A feminine, haughty royal, she starts working towards this as she develops better control of her magic. She eventually gains the spell Valkyrie Armor, giving her a water armor complete with a lance. Kivn describes her movements while using the spell as an elegant and graceful dance.
* LandSeaSky: Noelle is the Sea to Asta's Land and Yuno's Sky, able to generate massive amounts of Water Magic.
* LethalChef: According to the Guidebook, Noelle is the worst chef in the series. Her terrible cooking is showcased in the second light novel.
* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: The Dark to her cousin Mimosa's Light. Noelle is outwardly haughty, cold, and flaunts her status as a royal, while Mimosa is kind, polite, and modest about her social class. Noelle is a {{Tsundere}} to Asta while Mimosa is more sweet about her affections to him. Noelle grows to become an attack mage, forming an elegant armor to fight up close, in contrast to Mimosa who is more of a healing mage, using a restorative flower dress.
* LightIsGood: She wears a white blazer with frilled edges that resemble feathers, similar to the rest of the Silva family, and has silver hair. Despite this, she's the main heroine and grows out of the royalty mindset to become a much kinder, selfless individual.
* LikeMotherLikeDaughter: Noelle has her mother Acier's compassion for others.
* LikeMotherUnlikeDaughter: Mereoleona states that Acier had unparalleled control and dignity over her magic, unlike Noelle whose magic control and caused major problems with her family; Nozel keeping [[spoiler:Acier's death a secret from the rest of the Silvas]] did not help matters. She gradually develops better control, gaining a spell that clads her in a water armor highly reminiscent of her mother's steel armor.
* TheLoad: Noelle is a royal with great magical power but suffers from poor magic control that causes her magic to veer in the wrong direction. She even notes to herself that she's holding back Asta and Magna when they fight against Heath and his minions and thinks about running away. But when a little girl asks for her to save them, she gains the heightened emotion that triggers her to learn a proper spell, creating a protective dome of water that lets Asta go on the offensive. By gaining battle experience and training throughout the story, she steadily becomes a powerful mage.
* LongHairIsFeminine: She's a sophisticated royal and has long silver hair which reaches past her shoulders even when tied as pigtails.
* LuminescentBlush: After developing romantic feelings for Asta, Noelle becomes prone to this around him, especially when she misinterprets his words in a romantic way.
* MagicKnight: Noelle is this when using her Valkyrie Armor spell. She creates an armor and lance made of water, which she can use as a magical weapon and to manifest spells herself.
* MagicSkirt: Her standard attire features a very short dress which somehow never reveals anything, even in her most active moments.
* MagicWand: She wields a slender brown rod as a wand to help control her magic.
* MakingASplash: She has Water Magic and tries to use it effectively if it weren't for her [[PowerIncontinence inability to aim properly]]. Often crosses with KillItWithWater, thanks to the vast quantities she is able to produce. Over time, she gains control of her magic and learns to form barriers and blasts of water.
* TheManyDeathsOfYou: In the Forest of Witches Arc, Asta kills Noelle twice first by decapitating her and then running her through with his sword. Well, except that the deaths were actually from the Witch Queen's perspective, since Vanessa uses the Red Thread of Fate magic to rescue Noelle and ultimately foil the queen's plans.
* MaternalDeathBlameTheChild: A subverted example. She's subjected to harsh treatment by her surviving family [[UnwittingInstigatorOfDoom due to Acier's death]], with Nozel even lamenting [[YouShouldHaveDiedInstead that Noelle didn't die in place of their mother]]. The fact that Noelle was born and grew up unable to properly control her own magic, no doubt intensified this lingering resentment and belief already held by her family. Several years later, however, Dorothy tells her that [[spoiler:Acier was actually cursed to death by Megicula.]]
* MeaningfulAppearance: She wears the standard white uniform used by the Silva family. It represents her status as royalty with powerful magic who becomes one of the main characters.
* MinidressOfPower: Her dress rises well above her knee, and she grows into becoming a powerful mage throughout the story.
* MysticalWhiteHair: She has silver hair like the other members of the Silva Family, and is a royal blessed with powerful magic and large amounts of mana.
* MythicalMotifs: Most of her water spells' names include "Sea Dragon". Following the motif of the serpentine dragon formed by her Sea Dragon's Roar, Noelle is a dignified, elegant young woman of royal birth with powerful magic.
* NiceShoes: Unlike the majority of her guild who wear closed-toe boots, she wears a rather fancy pair of high-heeled sandals, as per the tradition of the Silva House. The elegant, revealing, and fanciful nature of her footwear, as opposed to the ruggedness of the others', helps set her apart as a member of royalty. However, they aren't very protective from Asta [[AgonyOfTheFeet stepping on her foot in a dungeon in the dark]].
* NobleBigot: She is a royal of the Silva Family and grew up believing that her status and greater magical power made her superior to commoners and peasants. As she spends time with the Black Bulls, she becomes a more selfless Magic Knight and abandons her prejudices, telling a young girl that social status shouldn't matter.
* NonIndicativeName: Noelle means Christmas. However, her birthday is on November 15th.
* NoRangeLikePointBlankRange: Noelle unleashes her normally ranged Sea Dragon's Roar at point-blank against [[spoiler:Vanica. Despite this, she {{No Sell}}s it with her Red Beast.]]
* NotAfraidOfYouAnymore: When Solid tries to mock her again during the match between Team O and Team P in the Royal Knights Arc, she flat-out stands up for herself and defeats him with her magic, saying she's not weak anymore.
* OnlySaneWoman: Especially early on, she usually acts this way over the antics of the Black Bulls, sometimes even sharing this role with Asta.
* OurMermaidsAreDifferent: After training during the time skip Noelle learns the spell Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form, giving her a mermaid tail and armor bra, which is used for fighting underwater.
* OutOfFocus: In the Eye of the Midnight Sun Arc, as she is left behind in order to watch the town in case anything happens while Asta, Gauche and Theresa save the children. This is notably the only arc where she is separated from Asta.
* OutsideTheBoxTactic: When Noelle and her siblings are trapped in Kivn's Another Atlas, disrupting their magic control in an enclosed space, she decides to let her Water Magic rampage, flooding the room and forcing Kivn to release it to avoid drowning. Although Nozel notes it's a tactic unbefitting of royalty, he acknowledges her strength and finally reconciles with her.
* PersonalityPowers: She uses Water Magic and is usually calm but can be easily provoked like her element.
* PinkGirlBlueBoy: Noelle wears a light purple dress and has pink eyes. Asta, before the time skip, dons a dark blue jacket and pants.
* PintSizedPowerhouse: Noelle may be 161 cm (5'3"), but she's a competent royal who can kick major ass when she needs to.
* PoweredArmor:
** When defending her family from elves, Noelle gains a spell called Valkyrie Armor, compressing her mana into an armor and lance made of water. Using it, she can control the mana around her, letting her fly through the air.
** Her variant Valkyrie Armor — Mermaid Form lets her move faster underwater.
* PowerGivesYouWings: Noelle's Valkyrie Armor form has her gain a boost to her magical power and speed, with wing-like ornaments that jut out from her lower back and help her fly through the air.
* PowerIncontinence: Being royalty, she has immense magical power. However, she has difficulty controlling it, causing her attacks to miss and accidentally trapping herself in a giant sphere of water. Her lack of magic control caused her to be ridiculed and called a defect by her own family and led to Noelle developing an inferiority complex. Throughout the story, she gains better control and learns to restrain her power at will.
* ThePowerOfFriendship: Not only is friendship the catalyst for Noelle's CharacterDevelopment, but her friendship with Kahono moves her to finally become an attack mage, capable of the devastating spell Sea Dragon's Roar, that is capable of rivaling the Flame Spirit Salamander.
* PrettyPrincessPowerhouse: Noelle is a royal of the Clover Kingdom who Yuno describes as a "princess-type". She hones her magic to become a powerful mage, eventually manifesting a water armor to fight gracefully.
* TheProudElite: What she grows to be. Despite the air of coldness and superiority about her royal status, she becomes much nicer and compassionate, especially around the Black Bulls.
* PurpleIsPowerful: She wears a purple short dress, earrings, and hair ribbons after the time skip, and even for a royal, she's blessed with an immense amount of magical power.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Noelle gives an indirect one at the Star Festival to the nobles who were dismissing a lost, crying peasant girl:
-->''"Getting a swollen head, thinking you're better than the rest and looking down on others is something only those with shallow hearts do."''
* RelativeButton:
** Kivn threatening the lives of her older siblings, in spite of their mistreatment of her in the past, gives Noelle the motivation to learn her spell Valkyrie Armor to save them.
** Noelle is already distraught when Vanica [[spoiler: takes Lolopechka captive to make Noelle stronger]]. But when Vanica brings up how fun it was to fight her mother Acier, who got stronger after she took a child hostage, Noelle is downright enraged.
* ReluctantFanserviceGirl: She's quite modest. She becomes embarrassed when she finds out she suffered ClothingDamage from the fight with Mars. And when she buys a bikini to try to catch Asta's attention, she's embarrassed while wearing it.
* TheRichHaveWhiteStuff: Noelle is a daughter of the House of Silva, one of the royal families of the Clover Kingdom, and she has silver hair and wears mostly white clothing.
* RichInDollarsPoorInSense: Noelle grew up as royalty in the Silva family. As a result, she openly admits that she's never done cleaning or laundry. An early RunningGag had her pay ridiculous amounts of money for simple tasks, giving someone a small bag's worth of gold coins just for transporting her to a nearby town.
* TheRival: She becomes this to her cousin Mimosa for Asta's affection.
* RotatingProtagonist: The first arc after the six month TimeSkip has the main trio spread out throughout the continent and facing a different member of the Dark Triad shortly after Asta separates from Noelle. Noelle, with Lolopechka and Nero, fights Vanica, who's targeting Lolopechka, when she invades the Heart Kingdom.
* RousingSpeech: After most of her teammates have reincarnated to elves and has threatened the Clover Kingdom, prompting Nozel to kill them in order to save the kingdom. She's the one who gives the counterargument to save them backed up with solid evidence such as Luck not killing her group despite being able to and Yuno still retaining his consciousness despite being one of the elves.
* RoyalBlood: She comes from a royal bloodline of mages who are part of the Silver Eagles.
* RoyalBrat: She qualifies when she first joins the Black Bulls and is even called a spoiled brat by Magna. Her royalty status causes her to think that she's too good for the squad, in spite of being accepted by Yami when Nozel rejected her from the Silver Eagles. After she learns that they're acceptive of her PowerIncontinence and willing to help her, Noelle begins to grow out of this, remaining quite proud but becoming much kinder.
* RoyalsWhoActuallyDoSomething: Her initial character development is a transition from "I'm royalty so I don't have to help others" to "because I am royalty, I have to help others".
* SayMyName: She yells Asta's name after he receives a massive shard of crystal to the gut, incapacitating him.
* TheScapegoat: Nozel had a very good reason to blame Acier's death on Noelle: [[spoiler:he wanted to prevent Megicula's curse from spreading to the rest of the family since it caused Acier's death in the first place.]]
* SharedFamilyQuirks: Her family members share her preference for using water attacks.
* ShipTease: With Asta. Due to her {{Tsundere}} disposition, this invokes ''many'' ClingyJealousGirl moments out of her.
* SigilSpam: The symbol of the House of Silva is a cross fleury which is the shape of her earrings and the symbol on her jacket's pins. It even appears on her water armors.
* SilkHidingSteel: Noelle is an prim female royal who dresses the part in a white frilled jacket and purple dress. Despite this, she develops into a powerful attack mage, making use of her incredible magic power to unleash powerful spells.
* SingleWomanSeeksGoodMan: She falls for Asta because of his kindness, accepting and praising her despite her lack of magic control, and strong sense of justice, standing up for her against her siblings when they mock her and saving innocent people regardless of their status. However, she's in constant denial over her feelings and he's too oblivious to notice them.
* StalkerWithACrush: Although she denies it to herself, she follows Asta to his blind date because she has a crush on him, even disguising as a waitress to observe.
* StevenUlyssesPerhero: Two guesses to what her hair color is. The first doesn't count.
* StoneWall: Thanks to her lack of magic control in the beginning of the story, for some time she can only use her magic to form Sea Dragon's Lair, a protective dome with whirlpools to block piercing attacks. She develops out of this when fighting Vetto.
* StrongFamilyResemblance: According to Mereoleona, Noelle's the spitting image of her mother Acier. This is one of the reasons why Nozel didn't want to lose sight of her ever again.
* SuccessfulSiblingSyndrome: Noelle's insecurity regarding her poor magic control is tied to her being a member of the royal Silva family, with her siblings all high-ranking members of the Silver Eagles and her eldest brother Nozel being the captain of the squad. As a result, they mocked Noelle her entire life for being an incompetent royal. That said, she develops her magic, defeating her brother Solid in the Royal Knights Exam and is later acknowledged by her siblings as having become strong.
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Fitting her {{Tsundere}} disposition. She usually acts aloof and haughty, but will show a softer, kinder side to those close to her, especially the Black Bulls and Asta.
* SuperiorSuccessor: Mereoleona believes that because Noelle, whose magic starts out as clumsy and crude, has to work very hard to become stronger, she will eventually surpass her mother Acier, who was known for her dignified and sophisticated magic use. This is high praise considering that Mereoleona, who is famed for being the strongest Magic Knight in the kingdom, never won against Acier herself.
* SuperReflexes: In her Valkyrie Armor, she's good enough to barely dodge [[spoiler:Megicula and Vanica's]] many sharp projectiles simultaneously to avoid lethal wounds, to their great surprise.
* SurroundedByIdiots: She often feels this way around the Black Bulls in the early chapters because of her royal upbringing. However, she proves many times to be NotSoAboveItAll with her {{tsundere}} qualities.
* TearsOfJoy:
** Noelle cries small tears when the Black Bulls accept her in spite of her poor magic control and encourage her to improve.
** She cries in happiness after they win against the Witch Queen thanks to Vanessa manifesting her Red Thread of Fate.
* TechnicolorEyes: She has [[PinkIsFeminine pink]] eyes.
* TellMeAboutMyMother: Noelle asks Mereoleona about her deceased mother Acier when she states that she resembles her, lamenting that no one ever told anything about her since Acier's DeathByChildbirth caused the Silva siblings to mock Noelle for her indirect involvement.
* ThickerThanWater: When Noelle and her siblings are cornered by Kivn, she resolves to save them because they're her real family, despite noting that she [[BigBrotherBully doesn't have a single good memory of them up to that point]]. This motivation, combined with her natural talent, battle experience, and hard work, lets her learn her Valkyrie Armor spell to fight Kivn and eventually reconcile with her siblings.
* ThisIsADrill: When using Valkyrie Armor she forms a lance made of spiraling water that drills through spells.
* ThisIsUnforgivable: She shouts at Vanica, [[spoiler:while Megicula is possessing half her body]], that what she's doing should never be forgiven before [[spoiler:impaling her with her lance.]]
* TokenRichStudent: Downplayed. Of the Black Bulls, she's the only member of royalty, with Noelle often bringing up her status. That said, the Black Bulls do have some disgraced nobility (Finral, Gauche, Henry, and Nero), and Noelle herself has essentially been disowned by the Silva family at the beginning of the story.
* TookALevelInBadass:
** She started off as a defensive mage with her Sea Dragon's Lair. After developing Sea Dragon's Roar during the Underwater Temple Arc, she is able to go on the offense.
** Later, to protect her siblings against the reincarnated elves, she develops a new spell called Valkyrie Armor, which enables her to fight in close combat. And after the six month time skip, she can easily use Valkyrie Armor and Sea Dragon's Lair simultaneously so as to fly while carrying passengers, even when travelling through a Strong Magic Region.
* TookALevelInCheerfulness: At the start, Noelle, in spite of her haughtiness, suffers from low self-esteem due to her bad magic control, which made her seen as a disgrace among royals and mocked by her family. As she surrounds herself with the kind and caring Black Bulls, she becomes more confident, improving her magic, and happy, smiling more often especially in her squadmates' presence.
* TookALevelInKindness: At the beginning of the series, Noelle is a self-absorbed, pretentious jerk who often denies Asta's attempt to befriend her. But after spending time with the Black Bulls, who treat her with the kindness and love she was deprived of from her family, she becomes a much kinder person while still maintaining pride in her status as a royal. So much so that she helps a little peasant girl find her mother at the Star Festival, a huge difference from the Noelle who detested peasants in the beginning.
* TrainingFromHell: She's subjected to this by Mereleona at the Yultim Volcano, where she practices Mana Skin.
* TransformationSequence: Her first use of her Valkyrie Armor is depicted as this in the anime, reminiscent of a MagicalGirl transforming.
* {{Tsundere}}: She is the harsh-type "tsun-tsun". She keeps her dere side hidden very well, but her concern for her allies is clearly shown in spite of her high-and-lofty demeanor. It gets taken up a notch when she begins to realize her feelings for Asta alongside Mimosa. She realizes her desperation at Mimosa crushing on Asta is jealousy, and then insists that she feels nothing for him.
* TwoGuysAndAGirl: The core trio of the series consists of Asta and Yuno as the Two Guys and Noelle as the Girl.
* UnprovokedPervertPayback: Early on, when Magna gives Asta and Noelle a ride on his broom, he tells Asta to hold on, so he innocuously grabs Noelle's waist. This leads to her elbowing him in the face without any provocation, which nearly causes him to plummet into the lake below. Afterward, she's still angry at him for what he did.
* UnskilledButStrong: Her defining trait initially was that she had great magical ability but little finesse. If it weren't for her [[PowerIncontinence lack of control]], she would have easily been able to join one of the higher ranked Magic Knight squads. She couldn't even hit Asta, despite the fact that he was standing still right in front of her.
* UpperClassTwit:
** She initially believes that she's superior to the other members of the Black Bulls and has preconceived notions about commoners and peasants due to her royal background, which understandably angers Asta. She gets better about this thanks to Asta and her friends.
** An early RunningGag is that she would pay exorbitant amounts of money for simple tasks.
* UptownGirl: Noelle, who's royalty, is in love with Asta, an orphan peasant from the Forsaken Realm who was born without any magic.
* UsedToBeASweetKid: While she's a compassionate noble, she showed it more often when she was younger. Her abusive siblings hardened her, unfortunately.
* {{Valkyries}}: Her Valkyrie Armor spell. She dons an armor with wing-like ornaments and wields a lance made of water that bring to mind the iconic warrior women.
* WaifFu: Noelle may be 161 cm (5'3") tall, but she learns a spell that clads her in a water armor complete with a lance to dodge attacks and fight up close.
* WeHelpTheHelpless: She comes to believe in this after joining the Black Bulls, stating that royals are said to have the best magic in the country and for that reason they should help everyone.
* WhiteSheep: She's introduced as the sole Silva royal that isn't a raging elitist jerkass and is actually a decent human being. Well, until the aftermath of her fight with Kivn leads to her reconciliation with her siblings, at least.
* WillfullyWeak: Kahono reasons that Noelle is unable to control her magic for offensive use because she subconsciously does not want to harm anyone. She overcomes it thanks to Kahono's encouragement, and casts Sea Dragon's Roar which rips off Vetto's arm:
-->'''Kahono:''' ''[to Noelle]'' Because you're fighting to protect what's important to you. You're fighting to win!
* YouKilledMyMother: She says this to [[spoiler:Vanica, who she angrily questions about killing her mother Acier as the host of Megicula.]]
* YouRemindMeOfX: Noelle reminds Nozel of their mother when she fights Kivn, forming an armor and moving gracefully like Acier.
