Shirogane Noel

Shirogane Noel (白銀ノエル) is a female Japanese Virtual YouTuber associated with hololive, debuting as part of its third generation of VTubers under the name of "hololive Fantasy" (ホロライブファンタジー) alongside Usada Pekora, Uruha Rushia, Shiranui Flare and Houshou Marine.

Personality
Noel is a clumsy but mostly wholesome knight, with a more girlish voice than her appearance would suggest (though she can pull out a mature older sister voice if the occasion calls for it). Her character archetype is best described as having more muscle than brains; she often streams video games, but is rarely seen actually doing well in them.

Noel's thirst for Shiranui Flare is arguably matched only by Natsuiro Matsuri's thirst for girls in general. She gets jealous if Flare so much as interacts with someone else, and since Flare is somewhat of a chick magnet, this happens very often.

Background
Noel was one of the five hololive VTubers first announced on 13 June 2019 as part of the third generation. Her Twitter account was opened on 22 July 2019 while her YouTube channel was created on 26 July. She made her first tweet on 1 August and debuted with her introduction stream on 8 August.

In addition to this she also got her 2D model updated, with improvements to her facial expressions.

Events

 * On 28 January 2020, it was announced on Dengekionline that she would made an appearance in the game Neptunia Virtual Stars as one of the VTuber guest characters alongside Tokino Sora, Roboco, Sakura Miko, Shirakami Fubuki, Minato Aqua, Yuzuki Choco, Inugami Korone and Houshou Marine.
 * On 2 July 2021, the official hololive Twitter account announced that Noel would appear in a collaborative promotion campaign for the movie Evangelion: 3.0+1.0 Thrice Upon a Time, along with Houshou Marine, Uruha Rushia, Sakura Miko, Minato Aqua, A-chan and a secret person as guests.

Fans

 * Her fanbase is officially called "Order of Shirogane" while in Japanese they are called "Shirogane kishi-dan"「白銀騎士団」. The latter is also the reason for her common nickname, Danchou 「団長」.

Trivia

 * Noel's surname Shirogane「白銀」can be divided thus.
 * The first kanji「白」can be read as "Shiro/Haku" which means "white."
 * The second kanji「銀」can be read as "Gin/Gane" that means "silver."
 * On several occasions when pressed to specify her bust size, Noel has claimed that she is a K-cup. She has also jokingly stated that this stands for "Knight-cup." According to other members of hololive, her avatar's bust size is an accurate depiction of her true size.
 * She has a large appetite, indicating on several occasions that she enjoys extremely large serving portions when they are available. Fans have commented that this increased caloric intake makes sense considering Noel's height, athletic abilities, and impressive bust size.
 * Dissatisfied with her own singing ability, she works with a voice coach in hopes of improving her musical talents. According to Noel, her coach is particularly harsh and difficult to impress. However, after hearing Ookami Mio singing during the Toyosu PIT live-event, her voice coach remarked at how talented Mio was, much to Noel's dismay.
 * She has seen Kamen Rider Den-O back in her grade school days.
 * During one stream, she mentions that during her school years, she was nicknamed "The Running T*ddy Cow", in reference to her large, absolute bust. As such, she is typically depicted around cow imagery and anything to do with milk, and on occasion baby bottles due to breasts maternal role in feeding. The fact that she has Shiro「白」in her name only strengthens this milky depiction.
 * She is the seventeenth hololive member to join the official Hololive Subreddit as a moderator.
 * On February 2021, she and Flare got custom made platinum rings.
