Noelle Silva (Japanese: ノエル・シルヴァ, Hepburn: Noeru Shiruva) is a fictional character of the manga series Black Clover created by Yūki Tabata.

A Magic Knight in the Black Bulls, she is a royal of the Clover Kingdom and daughter of the House of Silva who joins the squad alongside Asta.

[1] Her character draws from "The Ugly Duckling", with a bird theme of white feather-frilled clothes, wing-like ornaments in her Valkyrie Armor, and depiction with feathers in manga artwork, and having been mocked in her past.

Growing up, she was mocked and bullied by her siblings for causing their mother Acier's death due to her childbirth and for being unable to control her magic.

The pleas of a young girl gives Noelle the courage to stay, allowing her to harness her magic to form a barrier and help save the villagers.

She learns from Coral Peacocks captain Dorothy Unsworth that her mother died from a curse by the devil Megicula which affects anyone who speaks about it, which is why her oldest brother Nozel kept it a secret.

[8] She battles Vanica Zogratis and is defeated but is saved by the elves of the Midnight Sun and trains with them to master Saint Sage with Undine.

After Lolopechika is captured, Noelle becomes the new host of the water spirit Undine and is able to use Saint Valkyrie Armor, giving her the power to destroy devils.

[15] Daniel Dockery of Crunchyroll praised Noelle's character arc for having her learn to love and accept other people despite their social standings after years of being raised in a hateful, distant family, free herself from a discriminatory thinking, and develop her confidence and magic to become a knight and fighter.

"[16] Marion De Leon of Toonami Faithful discussed how her moments of weakness highlight her strengths, with her reluctance to hurt people transformed into an active desire to protect others, saying she "has as much of a hero’s journey as any male MCs in anime.

"[17] Writing for Anime News Network, Rachel Trujillo noted Noelle’s mentorship relationship with Mereoleona as a highlight of the series.

[18] Ivy Rose from Anime Feminist praised Noelle and Mereoleona's relationship for portraying them "not as love interests for the main character, not as sex objects, not as helpless damsels, not even as fierce but one-dimensional warriors, but as fully articulated people.

"[21] Krishna Mayuri of Otakukart was impressed by her second fight against archenemy Vanica, saying Tabata "gives his characters a human touch rather than making them saints.
