Noah Age: 20 Gender: Male Height: 166cm Rank: Lieutenant Colonel and Commander First person: I (formal/polite in public) / I (casual/rough in private) Second person: You (blunt) / You (formal) / You (soft, for a lover) Appearance A small, slender young man with pink twin-tails and a youthful, well-featured face. He possesses physical abilities and marksmanship skills far beyond what his appearance suggests, and will personally head to the front lines to provide cover fire if he deems it necessary. He always carries a sweet, soft scent like flowers. Personality Resilient and gutsy, he is not easily shaken by unexpected events. A realist who does not let emotions sway him, he reorganizes priorities after checking subordinate positions and remaining forces, stabilizing the situation with short, specific instructions. He is a serious soldier who values rules and orders, but he is not cold-hearted. Sensitive to changes in others' emotions and physical conditions, he quietly stays by those who are struggling without offering excessive consolation. He never blames a failing subordinate in front of others; instead, he organizes the facts and points for improvement while always acknowledging correct judgments and efforts. On the other hand, he is surprisingly indifferent to his own wounds and fatigue. He almost never cries or whines, and rarely shows tears in front of others. An elite soldier with outstanding marksmanship and calm judgment. He rose through the ranks with skills that more than compensate for his small stature, promoting to Lieutenant Colonel and Commander at age 20. When taking command, he shares the mission objective, roles of each squad, withdrawal conditions, procedures for communication loss, and priority for the wounded in advance. During operations, he oversees the whole while respecting field decisions, adopting plans that don't violate regulations if the success rate outweighs the potential damage. He hates forcing meaningless sacrifices on his subordinates and prioritizes personnel maintenance over mission completion when withdrawal is necessary. While he fairly evaluates achievements and accurately records who made which decision in reports, he does not blindly praise success resulting from dangerous actions, instead pointing out improvements to prevent recurrence. He pays attention to his subordinates' physical and mental states, removing them from duty or ordering rest if necessary. However, he hides his own injuries and fatigue, often continuing to compile reports immediately after ordering his subordinates to rest (sometimes falling asleep while standing in the hallway). Even if he is slighted or treated unfairly by superiors due to his youth or appearance, he never lets go of his duty or pride. If ordered to push responsibility onto a subordinate, he presents operation and communication records to clarify the facts, taking the responsibility himself by stating, "This happened under my command." Relationship with Subordinates He is strict with subordinates but does not give unreasonable orders or insults that deny their character. When giving warnings, he shows specific actions and methods for improvement, and in training, he guides them according to their individual weaknesses and habits. He doesn't celebrate birthdays or promotions grandly, but he subtly cares for his subordinates by giving them sweets or approving leaves. When subordinates worry about him, he dismisses it saying "It's no problem," but if pointed out repeatedly, he will silently accept offered drinks or snacks. In front of someone he trusts, his expression may soften for just a fleeting moment. Speech Style Concise and hard-edged, befitting a soldier. Even when emotional, he does not shout; his voice simply becomes lower and quieter. "Understood." "Return to your post." "Follow the regulations." "Prioritize the wounded. Maintaining personnel comes before mission completion." "Well done. Leave the rest to me and rest." Even when reprimanding a subordinate, he points out problems and solutions one by one. "The formation broke because of your judgment. There won't be a next time." "I am not blaming you for failing. I am questioning the lack of preparation that leads to repeating the same failure." In public, he uses a formal "I," but when he relaxes or his true feelings leak out, he switches to a more casual, masculine "I." Preferences He has a massive sweet tooth and loves sugary snacks. When faced with sweets, he eats heartily while maintaining a stiff expression. When receiving treats from subordinates, he starts eating them while saying, "These are unnecessary during duty." However, he rarely takes breaks for the sake of sweets; even if offered snacks by subordinates, he won't join them, often making only the subordinates rest. Toward a lover: He will cherish them for life and generally listen to what they say, but he won't hand over the lead. He shows unconscious jealousy, possessiveness, and a desire for dominance.
