Melty Blood/MBTL/Noel
Story
She recently transferred to Shiki's school as a new teacher. She metes out judgment to all blasphemers as an executor for the Holy Church. She may not have the battle experience Ciel does, but she's prepared to fight. Whenever faced with a weak opponent, she shows no mercy, claiming to be “weak against the strong, but overwhelmingly strong against the weak”.
Gameplay
Noel is a balanced rushdown character who punishes opponents with footsies and huge sweeping attacks.
A new character from remake version of Tsukihime. She is a simple character to play with, easily catching opponent's mistakes in mid-range with her far-reaching B/C normal attacks and sweeping Heavy Punishment (623X) special move. If the opponent think they can just play patiently in neutral, she can pile on the pressure using follow-ups from Heavy Thrust (214X) and hidden Black Key (236X) projectiles that also act as either backstep or jumping move to bait counter-hits.
On the downside, she lacks meterless invincible moves to get out of bad situations, and must play a careful keepout game to ensure safety. No thanks to her laggy recovery on most of her normals and specials outside of close-range A buttons, average mobility and her Black Key usage limit of 10.
Know the frame data along with how to Reverse Beat and Noel can go far.

Don't carelessly approach with this. j.A and j.B make better air-to-airs, j.C is primarily a jump-in or defensive air normal due to its comparatively slow speed.

- Dash cancelable.
- Uses one Black Key.
Noel dashes back and throws a key. Hard to blockstring into but highly plus on block and useful for pressure resets. Generally it will frame trap if your opponent is pressing something or they'll airblock it if they try to jump. IAD is generally safer to go for than redash pressure due to how ground dash startup works.
Note: for every version of this move, the Key counter is incremented very early in startup. If you get counterhit, the Key is counted as used.

- Dash cancelable.
- Uses one Black Key.
Faster than the A version but also less advantageous. Less useful in pressure but slightly more useful in neutral. The backstep is extremely useful for antiairing opponents who have committed to a falling button from relatively far away, as with good enough spacing Noel will clear the air normal entirely and counterhit them out of the sky. No results
- Uses an additional Black Key.
Noel jumps forward and throws another key. This move forces Noel back in her opponent's face but is generally not worth the Key cost. 236A > IAD j.C accomplishes the same thing while only being a little bit more unsafe.

- Links into 5A on airborne opponents.
Not an overhead, but actually a somewhat reliable anti-air if used preemptively. Gives a decent conversion on counterhit or high enough anti-air.

- Links into 5B on airborne opponents, and 5A on grounded opponents.
Noel's long-range overhead and core combo tool due to its ground bounce. Quite slow by itself, but allows for a combo on grounded normal hit where 623A would not.

- Soft knockdown, sometimes useful as a last-resort ender.
Combos into EX specials but generally deals less damage than 214BB. In some routing it can be utilized due to less hitstun scaling than 214BB to allow more followups after 236C, however. Be wary using it in extended routing as it has a tendency to drop and reset the opponent on the last hit, leaving you punishable at -6 on block.

- Good damage and cancels into super.
- Links into 214A midscreen early in combos.
This is generally the move you want to route into if you're spending meter. Almost always combos out of Rapid Beat 2, and from there it combos into any of her EX specials as well as her Arc Drive for great damage. The last hit is an overhead which can catch people who don't know the matchup.

- Don't let them block this if you don't have Moon Drive available.
Excellent if you have the resources to make it safe. 22[A] > Moon Drive leads to some nasty mixups and 22[A] has some clash frames to stop 2A mashers.

- Noel throws the key at a steep angle downwards.
Saving your double jump in air combos lets you meaty with this after airthrow. TK j.236A is not as plus as 236A, but it doesn't push Noel back as far which lets her use the plus frames better. All air Black Keys are quite thin, which can lead to opponents running under you and punishing your landing recovery. Be careful and don't get predictable with them. Ground Keys (usually 236B) are better for neutral.

- Noel throws the key at a shallow angle downwards.
Plus on block, but less so compared to TK j.236A. The angle makes it better as a poke than j.236A, but the hitbox is still quite thin and easy to miss with.
