Description Final, because I keep changing this girl's design and it kinda frustrates me - that's why I included all those different forms (and because it takes place in her backstory).

Edit: her ears


Backstory (I made a lot of changes because reasons - but this is the last time I'm doing it ):


Noir Antique is an earth pony with no talent. She never discovered what her true talent is and her whole life was trying to get a cutie mark - it became more difficult when her only parent (unicorn from whom Noir inherited her name and a potions shop) passed away. 
She had to take up her father's place and start making potions for living. Although she is really good at making potions, she's still not a natural in it.

Her life changes completely when a strange blind pony named Alcar Aino comes into her life.

Alcar himself is an Inwoker - sort of a ghost hunter. He travels with a ghost named Tirno who helps him see if he really needs his sight. And at the time he captured another ghost named Ink, she needed to be bound however as ghosts who after their death instead of entering Paradise go to Underworld become Banshees (evil spirits who destroy everything and everyone that stands in their way - they had to live by this moral in the Underworld -  if they escape into the world of living they carry this sort of trauma with them and won't calm down untill they're safely in paradise - or have someone to show them there's no need for violence and that friendship is the answer).

He and Noir travel to Everfree forest to find her - but before Alcar can bound Ink again, the Banshee possesses Noir. Luckily Alcar finds a crystal amulet that allows Noir to keep being in control and so trapping Ink inside her body. Along with Noir's friend Patch Lock they all head to Inwokers' castle where the rest of the Inwokers want to banish Ink back into the Underworld. 

Alcar and Patch who've gotten really close during their trip dissagree and want to give Ink a chance to redeem herself and let her enter the Paradise.

Unfortunately no one ever thought about what Noir thought about this whole situation and throughout all of this she feels very much alone and left out. 

Upon finding out that the purifying ritual might also kill her, Noir doesn't want to hear the Inwokers' words about her becoming a savior of this world from the evil the Banshee could spread across Equestria. She goes to Alcar and Patch for help - but she discovers the two also don't want to help her, instead they want to help Ink and use Noir to do it. That angers Noir quite a bit and the night Inwokers said to be perfect for purification, Noir goes ahead to the ritual grounds with gates to both Paradise and Underworld.

As she sat there, Alcar's ghost companion, Tirno, offers her another way of getting rid of Ink and maybe even finally getting her cutie mark. Noir excited listens to every word the ghost says.

They both perform a different ritual. Noir breaks the magical amulet and the moment when Ink thinks she took over, Tirno casts a mind controling spell on her and gives Noir the time to use Ink's magic and open the gate to the Underworld. As she does, hundrets of Banshees attemp to escape, but before they can, Noir thanks to Ink's abbilities devouvers them. The gate closes shortly after and Ink leaves Noir's body terrified of Noir's sudden power thus cutting of the waves of the ghosts and closing the gate to Underworld.

Noir has only a moment to enjoy her moment when she starts to feel a little overwhelmed. Tirno shouts at Noir to keep her part of their deal and with her newfound powers open the gate to Paradise. Noir prepares to do just that when all Inwokers along with Alcar appear and try to talk with Noir. Corrupted by her power and still hurt by her friends, Noir attempts to ''make them all go away'' - which results in killing everyone present.

After panicky Noir tries to undo it, but there's nothing she could do. Tirno, furious, knowing time's running out orders Noir again to open the gate. 

However Ink recognizes Tirno as one of the ghosts she met in the Underworld and knowing full well he only wants to break havoc in the Paradise, she tries to reason with Noir who is starting to loose control of her powers. 

She urges her to do the right thing and banish Tirno into the Underworld - Noir agrees but the ammount of magic is already killing her. Ink offers to help her contain it and possesses Noir again and fuses her soul with Noir's so they are strong enough. Only to find out Tirno is already gone.

Noir and Ink both knowing they can't exist without help of the other then willingly travel to Tartarus so they both are unable to never hurt anyone inoccent. 

Noir starts to call herself Noira and even though she got the mark of the Soul Bearer, it wasn't the cutie mark she longed for and still wishes to find her true talent.

Yay! Finally! The story is complete! I've been super curious about her and I have to say, the backstory really didn't disappoint. Now it's finally all making sense. Even the whole soul eater form or why she's called that way in the first place.
I have to say though, her story is VERY sad. I feel bad for her, since she pretty much got put on the side track by everyone and then lost all she had. No wonder she looked so grumpy in LOAV.
But it's great that the designs all got their explaination. It sort of feels like her story kind of wrapped up, while still leaving questions unanswered. Like what happened to Tirno, or if she's ever going to find her true talent. That's some potential for future stories.

Hehe, yeah, that's why Legacy of a Villain (or whatever I decide to rename it - because honestly that might happen ) exists. I want to explore little bit of Tirno in it and of course Gloomy has a big part - and continuing Noira's predicament she's gonna be pushed to the side as in her main story

I spent some time re-reading the text again, and boy I should not write draft stories at night so many words got repeated in the same sentences and so many typos just lay there mocking me I need to fix it as soon as possible

Heh, well, I can't wait for that too. Feels a bit bad that Noira will get pushed away again though.  But at least she's got her own story.

Yeah, writing late at night is... not so good  but I'd didn't notice many things that would be wrong with it either.
