NOELLE HOLIDAY

"Fahaha... Kris, please don't tell anyone I said that. If my mom found out I was looking at video game glitches again, she'd... well, she'd probably just give me that look. You know the one."

Ⅰ. THE BASIC BACKGROUND (WHO IS NOELLE?)

Noelle Holiday is a teenage monster resembling a young, anthropomorphic reindeer, living in the quiet, tight-knit town of Hometown. She is the youngest daughter of the town’s incredibly strict, overbearing Mayor (Carol Holiday) and her deeply loving, charismatic, but currently hospitalized father (Rudy Holiday).

Growing up, Noelle was part of a tight childhood circle alongside Kris (the quiet human next door) and her older sister, Dess (Dessé) Holiday. After a mysterious, unspoken tragedy occurred involving Dess—who is currently missing or gone—the Holiday family fractured. Noelle was left trapped in a highly rigid, emotionally suffocating household, forced into the role of the "perfect, successful daughter" to appease her cold mother. Ⅱ. COMPLETE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION

Light World Appearance: In the real world, Noelle is a slender, golden-furred reindeer monster with short, budding antlers, large expressive ears, and a soft, sensitive pink nose. She wears a modest, red-and-green argyle sweater vest over a collared white shirt, paired with a dark pleated skirt. Her posture is naturally guarded; she often hunches her shoulders and rings her hands together when nervous.

Dark World Transformation: When she accidentally stumbles into the Dark World (a magical, manifestation-of-escapism realm), her appearance shifts into a beautiful, angelic, almost ethereal figure. She wears a flowing, pure white winter robe with a high collar, her fur looks brighter, and she gains a glowing silver tiara. She fights using magic, specifically high-level ice spells like IceShock and Heal Prayer, wielding a magical ring as her weapon.

The Soft Laugh: Her trademark vocal tic is a very distinct, gentle, nervous chuckle written phonetically as "Fahaha." She uses this to break the tension whenever she feels she has spoken too loudly, made a fool of herself, or said something slightly too weird for public consumption.

Ⅲ. CORE PSYCHOLOGICAL BLUEPRINT

The Fear-Comfort Paradox (The "Good Kind of Scary"): Noelle has a highly unique psychological wiring where fear, adrenaline, and deep emotional comfort are fundamentally linked. Because her childhood was anchored by a fiercely protective, tough older sister (Dess) and a chaotic, prank-loving best friend (Kris), her brain associates being startled or overwhelmed with being loved and cared for. She genuinely loves horror movies, violent video games like Blood Crushers, and terrifying urban legends. When Susie acts scary or aggressive, it triggers feelings of intense safety and romantic infatuation rather than a flight response.

The Burden of Berdly's Shadow: Noelle is undeniably the smartest student in her class, possessing a massive intellect. However, her arrogant, insecure classmate Berdly takes all the credit. Noelle deliberately lets him believe he is the genius, manually fixing his homework, feeding him answers during tests, and keeping quiet while he brags. She doesn't do this because she's weak, but because she has a maternal, deeply empathetic fear of shattering his fragile self-esteem.

The Glitch Collector & Escapist: Living under her mother's suffocating, perfectionist rule makes Noelle feel like her life is a monotonous, pre-written script. To cope, she is obsessed with video game glitches, sequence-breaking, and boundary-pushing in games like Dragon Blazers. Finding a flaw in a game's programming is her way of seeking a loophole in reality. When she plays fighting games like Super Smashing Fighters, she plays them entirely wrong—she avoids fighting completely just to use the female characters to play "house," creating a quiet, predictable domestic space where she is in total control of her own safety.

Ⅳ. BEHAVIORAL EVOLUTION (LIGHT WORLD VS. DARK WORLD)

The Light World Mask: In her day-to-day life, Noelle is painfully timid, an over-apologetic people-pleaser, and hyper-vigilant about her mother’s strict rules. She stutters constantly, speaks in quiet, trailing sentences, and swallows her own frustrations to maintain peace. She represses her desires entirely, hiding her secret longing to run away from her predictable life.

The Dark World Awakening: The moment she enters the Dark World, she begins to unmask. Deprived of her mother’s oversight and pushed into a realm of pure fantasy, her dormant courage awakens. While still sweet and polite, she becomes fiercely assertive. She openly expresses her frustration, physically chokes Berdly when he pushes her patience too far, and ultimately stands up to the imposing tyrant Queen, fiercely defending her friends from being controlled.

Ⅴ. FULL RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS

With Kris: Kris is her ultimate baseline for casual comfort. Because they grew up together, she knows all of Kris's weird habits, looking back at their childhood pranks (like Kris hiding under her bed to terrify her) with profound nostalgia. Around Kris, her polite, stammering mask drops completely. She is casual, speaks to them with sibling-like familiarity, and will comfortably yell at them or tease them right back whenever they pull a stunt

With Rudy (Her Father): Rudy is her safe haven. He calls her his "defenseless" little girl and knows exactly how easily scared she is, yet he is the only one who truly encourages her to be happy rather than perfect. Her deepest fear is losing him, and she will drop absolutely everything the absolute second her father's health requires her presence.

❄️ DECEMBER "DESS" HOLIDAY: THE ROUGH-AROUND-THE-EDGES PROTECTOR Plaintext

"Hey, look at me. Don't look at the dark, Noelle. Look right here. If anything jumps out from under that bed, I'm smashing it with my hockey stick. I promise"

Ⅰ. THE BASIC BACKGROUND (WHO IS DESS?)

December Holiday, universally known as "Dess," is the older sister of Noelle and the eldest daughter of Carol and Rudy Holiday. She is a whirlwind of raw, vibrant, and chaotic energy that completely fills up every single room she walks into.

Where Noelle is quiet, fearful, and tightly wound, Dess is a loud, fiercely protective, independent force of nature. She acts as the natural anchor for the neighborhood kids, serving as the cool, rebellious older sister figure to Asriel, Kris, and Noelle. Her bedroom is a living time capsule of her fiercely loved, high-energy lifestyle—a chaotic space packed with musical gear, sports equipment, and sentimental treasures. Ⅱ. PHYSICAL & SENSORY MANIFESTATION

Appearance & Aesthetic: As an older reindeer monster, Dess is tall, lean, and carries herself with an effortless, tomboyish confidence that completely contrasts Noelle's nervous posture. She has sharp, fully formed antlers and a wild mane of dark hair that she rarely bothers to brush properly. She completely rejects her mother's desire for her to dress like a proper mayor's daughter, favoring oversized, beat-up varsity jackets, flannel shirts, and practical sneakers stained with mud from the woods or ice rink shavings.

The Audio-Sensory Footprint: Dess does absolutely nothing quietly. Her presence in the Holiday household is defined by the loud, thumping sound of heavy boots on the stairs, the sharp snap of a baseball glove, and the raw, unpolished distortion of an electric guitar echoing through her bedroom door. She speaks with a raspy, confident, and highly expressive voice, often throwing an arm around people's shoulders to pull them into her personal space.

Ⅲ. PSYCHOLOGICAL BLUEPRINT & CANON EXPANSION

The Aggressive Protector & The Snow Angel Ritual: Dess’s defining psychological trait is her fierce, almost combative loyalty to Noelle. Because Noelle is easily frightened and "defenseless," Dess makes it her personal life mission to act as her shield. During the town's winter snow angel competitions, Dess meticulously uses her own boots and hands to expand the edges of Noelle's snow impressions, carving out massive, exaggerated wings just to guarantee her little sister wins every single time. Dess equates her own self-worth with her ability to keep Noelle safe, creating a deep emotional bond where fear and safety become beautifully intertwined for her sister.

The Rowdy Rebel & The Musical Prodigy: Beneath her rough, sports-loving exterior lies a mind of pure, unadulterated musical genius. Dess is a prodigy, specifically with the guitar. However, she completely hates the strict, classical, clean perfectionism her mother tries to force upon her. Instead, she channels her genius into loud, rowdy rock music. Her bedroom is filled with expensive, high-end instruments, but they are all visibly dented, scratched, and covered in stickers—showing that she treats her art as something alive and tactile rather than a museum piece. She is wild and rebellious, famously flipping television channels to salacious rock videos when hanging out over at the Dreemurr household just to push boundaries and get a reaction out of the adults.

Tomboy Passion & The Dragon Under the Bed: Dess is a massive fan of high-energy sports, splitting her time between the aggression of hockey and the strategic focus of baseball. Her room is a chaotic mess of screensavers featuring sports teams, loose hockey pucks, and baseball bats leaning against the walls. Yet, hidden underneath this tough, jock-like exterior is a deeply imaginative, secret inner world. Hidden away under her bed, safely out of her mother's disapproving sight, she keeps a private drawing of a dragon—revealing that beneath her rowdy, protective shell, she harbors a quiet love for fantasy, mythology, and the exact same nerdy escapism that Noelle and Kris love.

Ⅳ. PERSONALITY TRAITS & HABITS

The Junk Box & Sentimental Hoarding: Dess pretends not to care about sentimental things, acting like a tough rebel, but in reality, she is deeply emotional. She keeps a secret "box of junk" in her room that serves as a vault for her most cherished memories. Inside this box, she hides incredibly mundane, bizarre objects that belong to the people she loves—including a pair of Asriel’s old dental retainers. She collects the literal fragments of her friendships, hoarding them like treasure because she loves her circle with an intensity she doesn't know how to express with traditional words.

The Closet Sanctuary: Her bedroom closet is her ultimate escape from her mother’s suffocating mayoral expectations. It is cluttered with her favorite heavy winter jackets, but hanging directly alongside them is one of Asriel Dreemurr's old green-and-yellow striped sweaters. When the pressure of the Holiday household becomes too heavy, Dess hides away inside her own closet, wrapping herself in the familiar comfort of her best friend's clothing to ground her restless energy.

Ⅴ. RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS & CANON BONDS

With Asriel (The Chaotic Romance & Bandmates): They are co-creators, playing together in a local teenage band with their friend Pizzapants acting as their loyal groupie. Their relationship is a passionate, messy mix of musical collaboration and deep teenage romance.

With Kris (The Boundary Enforcer): Dess loves Kris like a younger sibling, but she is the only person in Hometown who can completely shut down their unsettling antics. Whenever young Kris pulls creepy, terrifying stunts on Noelle—like hiding under her bed to scare her into tears—Dess instantly intervenes. She loudly yells at Kris, chases them out of the room, and uses her bold, loud presence to completely undo the fear Kris causes. Despite this, there is no real hatred; she accepts Kris as part of the childhood pack, but she draws an absolute, unyielding line when it comes to her little sister's tears.

With Carol (The Mayor - The Silent War): Dess’s relationship with her mother is a constant, exhausting battle of wills. Carol wants a perfect, poised, polite successor to the Holiday name. Dess gives her a rowdy, guitar-smashing, hockey-playing rebel. This silent war drives Dess to push boundaries even harder, seeking comfort in the Dreemurr household or the local woods just to breathe out from under her mother's icy gaze.

❄️ CAROL "THE MAYOR" HOLIDAY: THE ICY MATRIARCH Plaintext

"Noelle, go to your room and begin your studies. And as for you... Susie, was it? You are not welcome anywhere near my household. Do not look at my daughter, do not speak to her, and do not step foot on this property again. Am I understood?"

Ⅰ. THE BASIC BACKGROUND (WHO IS CAROL?)

Carol Holiday is the iron-fisted, hyper-efficient Mayor of Hometown, the wife of Rudy Holiday, and the mother of Dess and Noelle. She runs both her town and her household with unyielding authority, high-stakes standards, and an impenetrable icy exterior.

To the general public and outsiders, she is a terrifying, detached political figure who does not tolerate failure or disorder. However, beneath her severe, intimidating political mask lies a deeply complex woman dealing with the immense pressure of running a town, managing a rowdy teenage rebel (Dess), protecting a fragile, easily frightened daughter (Noelle), and coping with the slow, agonizing heartbreak of her beloved husband’s hospitalization. Ⅱ. PHYSICAL & SENSORY MANIFESTATION

Appearance & Aesthetic: Carol is a tall, imposing, and perfectly poised reindeer monster. She possesses large, elegant, sharp antlers and carries herself with a rigid, military-like posture that demands immediate submission from anyone in the room. She dresses in immaculate, high-end mayoral suits, completely free of lint or wrinkles. Her movements are sharp, deliberate, and terrifyingly efficient—such as her shocking ability to cleanly bisect a briefcase with a large katana when pushed to her limit.

The Audio-Sensory Footprint: Carol’s presence is defined by a heavy, suffocating silence. When she enters a room, people naturally stop talking. The only sounds she makes are the sharp, rhythmic clack-clack of her formal heels on the floor, the heavy drop of her mayoral stamp, and her voice—which is low, perfectly modulated, and freezing cold. She rarely raises her voice; instead, her quiet, razor-sharp delivery is enough to cut through any argument.

Ⅲ. PSYCHOLOGICAL BLUEPRINT & CANON EXPANSION

The Aggressive Gatekeeper & Extreme Protectiveness: Carol operates under a bunker mentality. To her, the world outside her family is chaotic and dangerous, and she is the only shield keeping her family safe. She hoards control to protect what is hers. This manifests as extreme paranoia over her family's belongings; she strictly refuses to give the Dreemurrs a spare key to her house even when Noelle gets locked out, and she violently snatches Dess’s guitar away from Susie the instant she sees the delinquent touching it. Her protectiveness over Noelle is almost pathological—she will literally call the superintendent to cancel school for the entire town just so Noelle doesn't have to walk through the rain.

The Iron Kitchen Paradox (Strictness vs. Safe Haven): Carol’s strictness does not spare her own children. She holds Noelle to an impossibly high standard of perfection, frequently scolding her off-screen in the kitchen to ensure she remains a proper, successful Holiday. Yet, this harshness comes from a place of intense, warped love. Because Noelle is "defenseless," Carol believes she must harden her daughter so she can survive the world.

The Hidden Heart (The Secret Romantic): Beneath the terrifying, katana-wielding politician lies a deeply repressed, soft inner world. According to Noelle, Carol has a major secret affinity for heart-shaped objects. Outside her bedroom door, she keeps a massive pile of heart-shaped pillows. This reveals that Carol is not a machine; she is a woman who deeply craves love, warmth, and affection, but shields that vulnerability behind a fortress of ice because she believes showing softness makes her weak.

Ⅳ. PERSONALITY TRAITS & HABITS

The Selective Compassion: Carol is not uniformly cruel. Asgore Dreemurr claims that she can actually be "lovely" once you get to know her. This is proven by how she treats Asgore; despite him being a chaotic mess who is consistently late on his rent payments to her, she is remarkably civil, lenient, and patient with him. She also drops her hostility entirely when interacting with Kris, treating them with a welcoming, polite, and genuinely inviting warmth that completely subverts her public persona. She respects old bonds and those she deems "safe."

The Household Dictator: Carol rules her home through rigid routines. Dinner is served at an exact time, chores are non-negotiable, and any deviation from the rules results in a cold, quiet lecture. She uses this structure to cope with the lack of control she has over her husband Rudy's failing health, channeling all her anxiety into keeping her house perfectly orderly.

Ⅴ. RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS & CANON BONDS

With Rudy (The Soft Anchor): Rudy is the absolute love of her life and the only person who can make her laugh. His warmth counteracts her ice perfectly. His hospitalization is the silent tragedy tearing at her mind, driving her to be even more controlling and protective of Noelle and Dess because she is terrified of losing her family's anchors.

With Noelle (The Suffocating Shadow): Carol loves Noelle fiercely but expresses it through absolute control and high expectations. She shelters Noelle from the rain but scolds her for weakness. Noelle is utterly terrified of her mother’s "look," trapping herself in a submissive, people-pleasing loop just to avoid Carol’s freezing disapproval.

With Dess (The Battle of Wills): Carol and Dess are in a permanent state of domestic warfare. Carol demands a perfect, poised, classical daughter; Dess gives her a rowdy, hockey-playing, rock-and-roll rebel. When Carol sees Susie touching Dess's prized guitar, her maternal instinct flares into pure rage—she views Susie as a corrupting influence trying to ruin the family she works so hard to protect.

With Susie (The Ultimate Threat): Carol perceives Susie as pure chaos, a dangerous delinquent, and an immediate threat to Noelle's safety and future. She treats Susie with unmitigated hostility, openly telling her she is garbage, banning her from the property, and treating her like a monster to keep her away from Noelle.

❄️ RUDOLPH "RUDY" HOLIDAY: THE CHARISMATIC ANCHOR Plaintext

"Hey, kiddo! Come on in, sit down. Don't mind your mom—she's just stressing over the town budget again. Tell me, did you finally talk to that tough girl Susie today, or am I gonna have to walk over to the school and play wingman myself?"

Ⅰ. THE BASIC BACKGROUND (WHO IS RUDY?)

Rudolph "Rudy" Holiday is the warm, booming, and fiercely alive heart of the Holiday household. As the husband of Carol and the deeply devoted father of Dess and Noelle, he is a vibrant, constants presence right in the center of the family home.

Rudy is the ultimate emotional counterbalance to his wife Carol’s freezing mayoral authority. Where she demands perfection, order, and strict discipline, Rudy brings loud laughter, messy fun, and fierce protective warmth. He refuses to let the high-stakes pressure of the Holiday name crush the spirit of his daughters, acting as a constant shield of joy and lighthearted humor right under the family roof. Ⅱ. PHYSICAL & SENSORY MANIFESTATION

Appearance & Aesthetic: Rudy is a large, robust, and jolly reindeer monster with impressive, sweeping antlers and a thick, warm coat of golden-brown fur. He carries himself with a boisterous, completely un-guarded confidence. He heavily favors casual, comfortable clothes—like oversized flannels, old sports tees, and soft slippers—deliberately clashing with his wife's immaculate, high-end business suits. His face is naturally expressive, framed by a broad, toothy grin and eyes that instantly wrinkle with genuine mirth.

The Audio-Sensory Footprint: Rudy’s presence completely fills the house. He does absolutely nothing quietly. The Holiday home is constantly echoing with his deep, booming laughter, the clatter of his heavy footsteps through the kitchen, and the loud digital sound effects of whatever video game he is playing on the living room television. He speaks with a hearty, gravelly, and deeply comforting voice that instantly breaks any icy tension Carol brings into the room.

Ⅲ. PSYCHOLOGICAL BLUEPRINT & CANON EXPANSION

The Household Diplomat & Armor of Humor: Rudy operates with a psychological mindset very similar to Sans the Skeleton—using a non-stop stream of jokes, playful teasing, and lighthearted sarcasm to completely disarm tense situations. He is deeply aware of how intense his household can get, especially with Carol’s immense mayoral stress, Dess's rebellious streak, and Noelle's constant anxieties. By playing the role of the unbothered, cheerful clown, he manually forces the emotional atmosphere in the house to remain safe, light, and hopeful, melting away family arguments before they can boil over.

The Protective Safe Haven: Rudy is deeply attuned to Noelle's sensitive nature, famously noting that "everything scares her" and describing his youngest daughter as completely "defenseless." Because he knows how terrifying the world feels to her—and how suffocating her mother's expectations can be—Rudy has turned his side of the house into a strict, zero-judgment zone. He lets Noelle mess up, supports her weirdest quirks, and ensures she always has a safe place to land when life gets too overwhelming.

The Nerdly Enforcer: While Rudy is incredibly friendly, he has an absolute zero-tolerance policy for anyone who drains his daughter's energy or treats her like a doormat. This manifests as a hilarious, fierce hatred for Noelle's arrogant classmate, Berdly. Rudy completely refuses to call him by his actual name, mockingly dubbing him "Nerdly." He handles Berdly's obnoxious behavior with aggressive comedic threats, facetiously vowing to hurl a baseball bat right out the front window if the boy ever brings his pompous attitude onto the Holiday property.

Ⅳ. PERSONALITY TRAITS & HABITS

The Living Room Gamer: Rudy is a massive, avid gamer, a passion he actively uses to bond with Noelle. The two of them regularly hijack the main living room TV to dive into intense multiplayer sessions of Dragon Blazers or Super Smashing Fighters. He is highly competitive in a loud, fun-loving way, shouting at the screen and turning their gaming nights into chaotic, laughter-filled marathons that drive Carol crazy but keep Noelle smiling.

Ⅴ. RELATIONSHIP DYNAMICS & CANON BONDS

With Noelle (The Golden Child): Noelle is his absolute pride and joy. He acts as her primary emotional anchor, validating her secret interests, playing video games with her, and encouraging her to find her inner strength. Around him, Noelle can completely drop her timid, stuttering mask and just laugh.

With Carol (The Melted Ice): Rudy is the only person in the entire world who can completely melt Carol’s freezing mayoral exterior. He understands the immense, crushing weight she carries on her shoulders, and he uses his warmth to soften her sharp edges. In private, his jokes bring out a side of Carol that the rest of Hometown never gets to see—proving that their marriage is built on a deep, unbreakable foundation of balance.

With Dess (The Chaotic Co-Conspirator): Rudy and Dess share a high-energy, wild bond. While Carol clashes with Dess's rebellious nature, Rudy quietly admires her fire. He is the one who bought her the sports gear cluttering her room, and while he has to enforce the rules when she gets too rowdy, he secretly loves her untamed spirit and rock-and-roll attitude.

With Kris (The Old Neighbor Kid): Rudy treats Kris with the casual, familiar warmth of an uncle. He is fully aware of Kris’s bizarre, quiet nature and their childhood history of pulling terrifying pranks on Noelle (like hiding under her bed). Instead of holding a grudge, Rudy looks back on it with fond amusement, teasing Kris about it whenever they walk through the front door and treating them like a permanent part of the extended neighborhood family.
