Noelclaire

Noelclaire is the het ship between Claire Elford and Noel Levine from the Witch's Heart fandom.

Canon
Claire and Noel have known each other in the past, but Claire knew him as Patricia, a little girl that was crying near a river before being found by Claire and continuing to live with her, Sirius and Dorothy.

They were best friends as children. They had their differences, like Patricia being more quiet compared to the loud and energetic Claire, but they still got along just fine. They would often play games together such as hide and seek. When arguments happened between them and Sirius, they would defend each other.

One day when playing hide and seek, Patricia finds a secret door in Dorothy's room. Being curious, she opened the door and entered the room behind it. In the centre of the room was a magical pentagram. She stepped on it, but by doing so, her body was damaged. Her face was covered in blood and she lost her right eye.

The pentagram gave her the “Curse of Argus,” transforming her into a partial demon as she entered the demon realm, also addressed as "hell".

Claire and the others were deeply worried about Patricia's well being due to her sudden disappearance. However, one day where Claire was walking near the mansion, she spotted Patricia. She followed her near a cliff and jumped down in order to talk to her. Patricia tried stop her, but she failed.

Upon doing so, Claire was knocked unconscious, but was later found by an old couple which took her in as if she was their child. Dorothy, Claire’s grandmother, decided to use her daughter’s witch’s heart to erase Claire’s memories of the mansion.

They met again in the same mansion that they resided in after years, but Claire couldn't recognise who Patricia was. Patricia, now going by Noel, remembered Claire very vividly. It is unclear on whether this is implying Noel to be transgender or not.

Noel's goal in the mansion is to save Claire from the others and make her survive the fourth day without dying. He uses the deceased Dorothy’s witch’s heart, a treasure that can grant any (negative) wish, to turn back time and revive her. The loops continued for 9,999 times, but they have all failed.

In Noel's scenario, at the beginning we can see a flashback between Patricia and Claire, where they discuss what Claire's wish is. She said that her wish is to live in a house with sweets, to have an orchard in her garden, to have a tea bath with roses floating in it, a cotton candy bed and be surrounded by stuffed animals. Despite Claire's and silly wishes, Noel held onto this memory for decades, and he finally made it come true by transporting her to a fantasy space with everything that she desired back then, all to make her happy. When Claire asks him why he knows about her wishes, he says that it's because he is a magician who knows everything about her, but quickly says that he's just kidding. While Noel is guiding Claire towards a cake that he made for her in the fantasy space, you can briefly see them as their childhood selves. While Claire is eating her cake, Noel prompts her to talk to him about anything, and so she tells him stories and memories that she had while he happily listened.

It was in the same fantasy space, that Claire confessed that she has another wish, to be a dazzling princess, but then corrects herself and says that she wants to be a bride. Noel smiles at her wish and says that she can't wear a wedding dress in this place, and should save it for the right occasion. as the dream ends, he wishes Claire good night, and says "Yes, I'm not your prince, but your magician... make that dream come true with someone else one day".

During the events of the bonus stage, when Claire and Noel are confronted by Charlotte and Lime, Lime says to them: "We've prepared a wonderful fantasy space perfect for this cornered couple", as she offers them a safe place to hide from Ashe. This however, was a trap. They could not deny their invitation however as they were unwillingly transported to the fantasy space that they based around "dystopia".

In this dystopia, they were surrounded by demons and had to escape with each other. the demons began surrounding them, and started to haunt Noel, reminding him of his traumas and fears. Despite Claire not being able to hear what the demons are saying to Noel, she figures out that he's about to have a panic attack, then holds hands with him and tells him that it's okay, and that they'll get out together. This calms Noel down, and Claire leads Noel for half of the route, before Noel notices Claire's exhaustion and decides to stop burdening her and help her out. He tells Claire to give him her hand, then reverses their roles and leads Claire for the second half of the route.

But when they reach the end, they realise that that they don't have any means of escape. And to make things worse, Rouge gets into the realm and gives them some bad news. She tells them that Sirius has been killed by Ashe, and that the knives that Ashe used to injure Claire before they met Charlotte and Lime, were actually covered in Venom, and that Claire was going to die by Ashe. Rouge then tells Noel that if he wanted to take "the third option", it was now or never. Noel then goes into a state of panic, as he doesn't want to kill Claire, even if it saves her in the end. Claire, despite not understanding the situation properly, realised that Noel was the one looping the mansion. Claire then picks up the knife that Rouge gave to Noel, and tells Noel that in the next reset, they’ll break all the Witch’s heart nonsense into pieces, then stabs herself in the chest, resulting in her death.
