Image
Umbreon [Female]: Umbreon is quiet and loyal to Noiretta. Like Noiretta, Umbreon's battle tactics are centered around avoiding attacks while taking opponents out stealthily. To that end, it uses moves such as Toxic, Double Team and Substitute, with Faint Attack as her main direct attack. She also baton passes these to her teammates. Umbreon was found in Celadon City as an Eevee and was the first ever Dark-type Pokémon she owned.
Image
Crawdaunt [Male]: Noiretta's main powerhouse, Crawdaunt is stubborn and somewhat violent. As such, Noiretta taught him to use a variety of physical moves backed up by him Dragon Dance. When backed up by passed status moves from Umbreon, it becomes very difficult to defeat while also dealing heavy damage via Crabhammer, Night Slash, Superpower and many other attacks. Crawdaunt was recieved in a trade in Hoenn, in which Noiretta gave away her Tentacruel.
Image
Weavile [Female]: Weavile is a competitive Pokémon, both in battle and in other things. Noiretta uses Weavile in a hit-and-fade style, dodging attacks and then striking hard with highly potent Night Slashes, Focus Punches and its mighty Ice Punch. Noiretta caught, trained and evolved Weavile around Snowpoint City.
Image
Draipon [Female]: Compared to Noiretta's other Pokémon, Drapion is a happy-go-lucky Pokémon known to be inadverse to taking risks. As such, Noiretta capitalised on that by teaching Drapion moves which rely on luck to work. Again, Night Slash is used in tandem with another same-type move (Cross Poison) and a variety of other moves including Acupressure, Iron Tail and Ice Fang. Noiretta caught a Skorupi in the Great Marsh, which she trained into this powerful, if random, beast.
Image
Tyranitar [Male]: Although not yet fully trained, Tyranitar has a great fighting spirit and is eager to take on much stronger opponents. Due to its relative slowness, it plays for time and strikes opponents with attacks such as Earthquake, Crunch and its deadly Stone Edge. Tyranitar is one of Noiretta's newer Pokémon, which she captured on Route 207 in Sinnoh. It evolved in her Gym battle against Fantina, then on the day before she set off back to Orre.)

Absol [Male]: Noiretta's pet Absol acts as a mascot of sorts for the gym and as such isn't trained extensively. Like Noiretta, he is calm and devious. He mainly battles against weaker opponents and uses Bite, Quick Attack and Pursuit to great effect. Noiretta caught Absol in Hoenn and trained it against Tate and Liza, before it began to show a distaste for daily battling.
Image
Mightyena [Female]: Noiretta's Mightyena is basically Umbreon-lite, in both personality and tactics. Mightyena is quick on her feet and uses underhanded tactics to take down opponents, finishing them off with a quick Bite. Noiretta used Mightyena occasionally in her Hoenn League challenge, but it was all but replaced by Absol for a short time.
Image
Cacnea [Female]: Cacnea is Noiretta's newest team member and as such, in an early stage of her training. Cacnea is shy around the other Pokémon but has recently been showing signs of maturing somewhat. Although it has yet to find a signature style, it prefers moves such as Leech Seed, Ingrain and Absorb to keep it full of energy. Noiretta caught Cacnea on Route O1 when she came back from Sinnoh - see RP Sample.
Image
Stunky [Female]: Stunky is the daughter of Juliet-Viola's Skuntank and Ingvar's Arcanine. She is the team's "baby", acting somewhat spoilt and easily upset. However, her lineage gave her access to some shockingly powerful moves at a much younger age than considered normal such as Crunch and Flamethrower. It also uses Poison Gas to a great degree.
Image
Sableye [Male]: Noiretta's jack-of-all-trades, Sableye is sent in to deal with situations his teammates might struggle with. This is a role it enjoys, since he is something of an egoist and loves to rub the fact he takes out opponents his more powerful brethren struggle with into their faces. His main attacks are Punishment and Brick Break, which are backed up by Knock Off, Shadow Sneak, Feint and Recover. He was caught in Granite Cave and used very occasionally in battles such as Brawly.
Image
Noiretta is tall, pale and her eyes are a slightly purple shade of blue. She is also very skinny, perhaps unhealthily so as to look at her in strong light would show her skin tightly wrapped around her bones. Her finger and toe nails are painted a deep black.

Her outfit actually accentuates this as it covers very little of her body. It consists of simply a purple cloth miniskirt with matching camisole and flip-flops.

Noiretta is a deceptive person. She is normally quiet and reserved, preferring to train alone rather than around other people. However, this masks her true nature as a kindly young woman who deeply cares for her Pokémon.

In battle, however, Noiretta becomes very competitive and eager to win at any cost. While she is able to work well with any of her Pokémon and uses tactics that they favour, she tends to be underhanded in regards to how she battles.
Image
Noiretta's mother was a professional Pokémon battler at the Under and Deep Colosseums while her father was a miner in The Under. Juliet-Viola insisted that Noiretta was going to follow in her footsteps as a Poison-type trainer and as such, gave her an Ekans for her eleventh birthday.

Noiretta was a lonely child and Ekans was her main companion. The two were inseperable as they trained to become a powerful fighting force within The Under. However, Noiretta knew that she couldn't become strong with just Ekans, thus once she turned fifteen she decided to head off to Kanto in search of new Pokémon.

Noiretta's Kanto journey was a very mixed affair. She earned a handful of badges while over there (Cascade, Rainbow and Soul) and also met a few Pokémon including Eevee, Koffing, Zubat and Oddish. While there, she battled then-Fuchsia Gym Leader Koga in what was a tight battle, ending in victory for Noiretta. Having little luck otherwise in Kanto, she went onto Johto then later Hoenn and Sinnoh.

What inspired Noiretta to go to Johto was the fact that, even with a Haunter and Venomoth, Noiretta was finding it near-impossible to defeat Sabrina. As such, she had got her own Kadabra and was trying to see if she could control it similarly, or find some kind of flaw. Later, she battled against a trainer with a Murkrow. There she was inspired as her Kadabra was easily beaten. From that day onwards, Noiretta dedicated herself to using Dark Pokémon. She failed to complete the Johto badge challenge, being unable to defeat Jasmine, and went on to compete in the Hoenn and Sinnoh Leagues.

At long last, Noiretta was on the ship from Canalave City to Gateon Port, happy to be heading back home. While she was a bit upset about the news that The Under, her hometown, had been sealed away, she was looking forward to seeing her new gym that the newly founded Orre League had set up.

"Five minutes until we arrive at Gateon Port," the captain's voice echoed over the loudspeaker. Noiretta's face twisted into a slight smile, which was something quite unusual for her. As the port approached in the distance, she began to think about the league, where she was going to compete for a gym placement.

The ship docked and Noiretta stepped off the boat. After a brief visit to the Pokémon Centre, she began to head out to Route O1. There was a light wind blowing but she didn't mind. One thing caught her eye, however - a Cacnea was stood in the road, looking to battle her. "You're on, little buddy," she sneered. "Umbreon, let's go!"

"Umbre!" the black vulpine barked as it sized up its opponent.

"Umbreon, let's make this quick and non-lethal - I kinda want to train a Cacturne. Use Mean Look to stop it from getting out of here!" she commanded. Immediately, Umbreon lept into action and stared down her opponent menacingly. Cacnea was a little taken aback by it and shot a Leech Seed at Umbreon, sapping her health slightly.

Noiretta was annoyed by this development. "Now Umbreon! Baton Pass to Crawdaunt!" she called. Umbreon disappeared into her Poké Ball and Crawdaunt appeared in her place. Cacnea shot a Pin Missile attack at Crawdaunt, hoping to make a significant difference - it didn't, despite hitting five times consecutively.

"False Swipe!" Noiretta smirked as Crawdaunt jumped at Cacnea, swiping at the cactus Pokémon with the blunt side of its right pincer. Cacnea cringed, having never faced a False Swipe before and not knowing what to expect. However, it was still standing and launched three more successful Pin Missile volleys. Noiretta took the opportunity to throw a Nest Ball at it, which captured Cacnea after a few shakes. Noiretta reclaimed the ball and put it in her bag before patting Crawdaunt on the back. "Give it a few months. It'll pose a threat yet," she said, oddly reassuringly.
