Noir Chevalier

Noir Chevalier is a first year student at Beacon academy, and son of Adreanna Chevalier.

Appearence
Noir is constantly wearing black no matter the weather or environment and the only things that change is his choice of clothing.

His normal/battle clothing consists of a pitch black trench coat that'll later acquire his emblem on the shoulder pads accomapnied by a black gilet underneath to cover his chest whilst on top of the gilet is a pair of detective style holsters for two pistols named Minuit and Pitch Beauty. Beneath the gilet is a simple black shirt that is normally hanging loosely beneath it whilst his trousers stretch all the way down to his boots and cover the top. The boots themselves are your traditional combat boots with black laces and mud still apparent on the edges.

Noir can sometimes be found wearing a black fedora, tilted down so his face is hidden from view and (towards the beginning of his time at Beacon) Noir wears contact lenses to make his eyes appear human just black in colour but these are later discarded to reveal his dog like pitch black eyes. It is unknown whether or not Noir is colour blind.

His hair is wrapped up in a pony tail that still falls down to just beneath his shoulder blades whilst his face is already showing signs of a beard growing, tufts of black fur growing from the sides of his face and his chin. Noir has a single bandage running from one side of his face to the other, across his nose and giving the impression that he's hiding something.

History
Noir Chevalier was born and raised in Vale by his mother, Adreanna Chevalier. He never knew his father and grew up knowing that he would never since his sister and mother refused to talk about him leading Noir to believe that his father was a mistake and something to be forgotten.

Needless to say, as the young Faunus grew older his curious nature brought him to a point where he began to venture out into the streets of Vale and it was on one of these particular occassions that he met his first friend: Laila Laska. Laila was a Faunus like Noir and they took to each other instantly, setting up a friendship that nothing could tear down. However, during an event involving a group of drunk Humans Laila had her Faunus ears ripped from her head - Noir witnessed the event and it was at that moment he unlocked his semblance: Psyche. After using his semblance, he managed to escape the scene with Laila. Laila was taken, by her parents, out of Vale and they never saw one another again. Noir and Laila were both 8 at the time and it took all of Adreanna's willpower to stop Noir from going after Laila until Noir's sister arrived - Raven Chevalier. The siblings made a deal - if Noir trainned hard to become a Hunter then Raven would search for Laila until she found her. It was a done deal and Noir was accepted in Signal academy.

His time at Signal was relatively un-eventful, since the young Faunus concentrated purely on his studies he zoned out around other people and hardly anyone even tried to socialize with him whilst others avoided him because of his Faunus heritage. Needless to say, this lack of social contact made Noir into a loner who didn't prefer to be alone but was so used to it that it got to the stage where it didn't make a difference.

At Signal, all students make their own weapons and Noir did the same and constructed the twins - Minuit and Pitch Beauty. The twins appear, on the outside, to be pistols in the style of an M1911 but with a large bayonet fixed under the barrel. However, with a click of the button on the side of the barrel the pistol begins to reshape itself into a karambit. The first models of Minuit and Pitch Beauty required Noir to fling them up in the air, or have his finger broken from the changing parts.

One of the only notable problems Noir encountered whilst at Signal was, what he refered to as, his 'fan-club'. A group of racist Humans who would pick on him, and other Faunus however towards the end of their time at Signal the boys began to keep distance from Noir due to his short temper and quick to iritate personality which had rewarded them with broken teeth.

Noir was recognised as one of the top students at Signal, not the highest achieving in teamwork but still one of the better out of the lot. He applied and was accepted into Beacon academy, where the story of  'The Black Knight' begins.

Personality
Noir has been described in a variety of ways by different people however only a few truly understand his complex personality.

Chevalier is a very direct, honest person and will directly inform someone of something whether or not it'll hurt their feelings unless he manages to restrain himself in time. The need to tell the truth was born from the fact that if he can't hide the truth then why hide it? Be direct and get it over with. His honesty has been mistaken for rudeness on many occassion for good reason but his intentions are rarely ill towards people he likes and gets along with.

Noir is quick to anger, unless having a reason not to be, and will lash out at anyone who so much as speaks ill of him.

However, over the course of The Black Knight Noir's personality changes to that of a much calmer person, being influenced by the three girls on his team. His anger subsides and only is re-ignited when someone insults his team-mates instead of himself, as shown when Seda from team SEDA directly insults all of the members of team NOIR in front of him.

Contrary to his direct nature, Noir also gets very nervous when it comes to matters of the body and prefers to have some measure of privacy. So much so that he seperates the room of Team NOIR with a curtain to give himself some privacy and to avoid having Orlaith stare at him as he changes.

Weapons
Noir carries two weapons around with him at all times, Minuit and Pitch Beauty.

Minuit and Pitch Beauty are identical in appearence except for different images etched into the barrels of them both. The images are crudely drawn but the rough outline of a woman can be see etched into the barrel of Pitch Beauty whilst what could be a moon was etched into Minuit.

The two weapons appear to be identical to the M1911 model of weapon, except for the presence of the bayonets beneath the barrels which look like they are apart of the weapons. Also, the magazines appear to be much larger and bulkier.

However, with a click of the button Minuit and Pitch Beauty re-shape themselves into a pair of lethal karambits.

The weapons are not particularly strong in either types of combat but Noir has managed to use the two to their maximum efficiency on many occassion treating them like claws in close quarters.
