Noir

Noir (ノワール Nowāru)^? is the main antagonist of KiraKira☆Pretty Cure A La Mode.

Bio[]

Appearance[]

Noir appears to be a tall slender man who wears a floor-length dark purple robe and a white mask, giving him a tall and imposing appearance. He is also recognized for his long dark purple hair.

Before becoming Noir, he was a human with short dark blue hair and dull brown eyes. He used to wear gray clothes, but over time, his appearance changed. His hair grew longer, and he started wearing a tunic, making him look similar to Elisio, except for the color of his hair.

Personality[]

Noir is selfish and hot-tempered, since he threw a tantrum and bears a large grudge against sweets because Lumière failed to fulfill his needs. He is shown to be very manipulative, taking control of Pikario upon learning that his sister Kirarin told him that his sweets could have been better. He also attempted to do the same thing to Ciel after she blamed and hated herself for losing her brother.

Relationships[]

Bibury: Bibury seems to crave Noir's love, always wanting to prove herself to him because of that adoration. She abandons those feelings after learning that Noir was merely using her and had set her up to be isolated from the others so she could be swayed by his darkness easier.
Lumière: She nursed him back to good health after he collapsed in Ichigozaka in the past. He then wanted her to make sweets only for him, but she refused, causing him to stain all of Ichigozaka with darkness.
Kuroki Rio: Like how he tricked Bibury, Noir also fooled Pikario to become his subordinate by telling Pikario that he could fulfill Pikario's dream of outperforming his sister Kirarin/Ciel and granting the fairy the ability to transform into a human. However, after Pikario made up with his sister, he soon decides to betray Noir afterwards.
Elisio: Elisio is a part who is extracted from him. He usually regards Elisio as his puppet and servant, unaware that Elisio has ulterior motives.

Etymology[]

"Noir" is the French word for "black".

History[]

During an ancient time of Ichigozaka, Noir, who was originally a soldier at his last gasp, got brought off by a lady named Lumière who looks after him with unconditional care. Nonetheless, Noir soon got into a tantrum after the lady rejected his unreasonable request of baking more desserts solely for him. He then transformed into a villain who stained the town in darkness, and had been holding a strong hatred on sweets ever since.^KKPCALM46

Noir is first mentioned by Bibury.^KKPCALM18 He makes his official appearance in where he appeared before Julio and used his Kirakiraru to recreate his rod.^KKPCALM21 Later, it is shown how he took advantage of a dejected Pikario and turned him into Julio.^KKPCALM22 It was later revealed that he set up Bibury's loneliness so he could bring her over to his side.^KKPCALM32

Eventually, Noir fuses with Elisio and attacks Ichigozaka. During the battle with the Cures, Lumière comes to protect the Cures and he immediately recognizes her. He greets and tells her it has been 100 years since they saw each other, asking if she remembers what happened back then. The Cures wonder what happened between him and Lumière, but Lumière doesn't say anything. Irritated by this, he proceeds to show his past.

Back in the present time, the Cures hit him with Fantastic Animale and during this, Elisio splits from him and says that his sweet battle is pointless. Elisio then captures both him and Lumière into his cards and creates a new world, a world without love or hate.^KKPCALM46

In the finale, Noir, along with Lumière, are released from the cards by Elisio. A few years later, a boy who looks like Noir appears in a deserted town with Lumière and Diable, who have also been reincarnated. However, Ichika doesn't recognize him.^KKPCALM49

Abilities[]

He can take Kirakiraru from people's hearts and make them his servants as shown with Julio and Bibury. He can create, power up and repair items with Kirakiraru he takes from victims like he did with Julio's rod and Bibury's doll Iru. He was also shown to possess conjuration powers in episode 23, when he conjures a bow to shoot an arrow at Ciel, which Julio blocked and took himself. He can also shoot dark kirakiraru projectiles.
