Full Name: Noel Nyoka Rich
Codename: Cobra
Age: 16
Hair color: Very very dark brown, almost black and most people can’t tell the difference
Eye color: Completely yellow except for a slitted black pupil… Snake eyes
Height: 5’3
Weight: 108
Personality: Noel was surrounded by protection all her life and it made her feel vulnerable to go out alone somewhere, so she developed ways of protecting herself. Noel will share very little about herself and eventually that made her feel powerful to some extent, that she would know about others while they had neglected to ask her about herself. She has a sly smile and catalogues information in her brain, constantly stocking it. Because of her illusion of power, she might also be dangerous in the respect that she could use information against someone and might see no reason not to. That is the impression she gives someone: that she is capable of anything. Otherwise, Noel is fiercely loyal to those she cares about and will do anything to protect them. If she cares about someone, they do notice her feelings and it is sort of comforting in a way. Protective, confident. Noel is easily amused and somewhat sarcastic but not in a cruel way, more in a goading way. She seems to be something of a girly girl in the way she dresses and takes care of herself, but she has an odd affection for rough, dirty extreme sports like rock-climbing, backpacking, and skateboarding. Her transportation of choice is a red BMW motorcycle, which her family does not approve of. She tends to act very friendly, intrucing herself and being an extrovert, interested in people. She has a silent craving for power, and that is one of her chief interests. Not just the strength of mutant powers, but of personality and command. She also likes guys quite a bit, but does not overly obsess, only consider them a pleasent distraction.
Appearance: Noel is small, slender and dark. Her skin is brown and she from African American descent. Her hair isn’t curly but long, wavy, and shiny. She has two rather long fangs, a black forked tongue, and yellow snake eyes that unnerve most people. Otherwise, she is quite pretty. She doesn’t have much of a figure but is well proportioned. She often wears leather. She likes hip-huggers, jean jackets, tank tops and stuff that could be listed as “cute”. Occasionally she wears skirts and she likes bright colors that contrast with her dark skin.
Relations: Rick Rich (Father), Jahzara Rich (Mother), Malaika Rich (Younger sister)
Powers: Noel can see infrared, “smell” with her tongue like a snake, has a strange skeletal structure that allows her to be extremely flexible to the point of an arm bending backwards. If she concentrates she can give herself a couple of stray scales and her eyes are covered with a clear type of scale that usually remains down, giving her eyes some protection. An offshoot of that is that she can see relatively clearly underwater. Her fangs have poison in them. She also has some other snakish characteristics.
Affiliation (Xavier's, Brotherhood, Star, Independent): Xavier’s
Skills: Dancing (mostly formal kinds like ballroom, waltz, foxtrot, tango, even swing), piano, singing (able to carry that wonderful Whitney Houston quality), and for some odd reason, rock climbing
Interests: Rock-climbing, backpacking, skateboarding, motorcycles, snakes, clothes, guys, mystery stories, particularly Agatha Christie
Bio/History: Noel’s father was a rich businessman and had rather eccentric tastes. He took a safari to Africa and there met Noel’s mother, a powerful African princess. They married eventually and Jahzara became the head of one of the African embassys in New York. As a result, there was a lot of protection surrounding Noel and her younger sister as they grew up. They grew up used to wealth and luxury.
Noel had already been teaching herself about manipulating people when she was fifteen. Some people say this is why she ended up being a snake, however the events happened like this: A burglar had managed to break into their house and was trying to crack the safe. Noel, completely unafraid because of her superior-complex, snuck down and started to taunt him from the dark. She didn’t want him to steal their money and she wanted to make sure her family was safe, so she did not want to let him out of her sight. She knew the workings of the house and could easily move about, despite the dark. A predator stalking prey. That was when her vision first changed. She could see the infrared rays that his body produced somehow through the dark. Her eyes had also turned completely yellow and snake-like at this point and she continued to confuse and frighten him until she could reach the phone and dial personal security.
Her parents were disturbed by the fact that she was a mutant and as her fangs grew and her tongue darkened, lengthened, and split, they debated what the best course of action would be. Her father gave a grant to genetic research and then they decided that she should go to the best school for mutants money could buy. The Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters was selected and she was flown there to continue schooling and learn more about her powers with full parental support.
Fact: Noel-Rich is the middle name of one of my best friends who is actually half-black but otherwise is nothing like this character.
Evolution: Noel can now give herself a solid layer of scales, protecting from many basic physical attacks. Her mind can also be illusive to telepaths because of its snake-like qualities.
