Overview:
Mireille
Bouquet has always been one of the best assassins in
the business, and most know her as "Noir",
one of the most feared names in the underworld. It's
business as usual until one day, when a young girl named
Kirika steps into her life, and changes it forever by
offering to take her into a pilgrimage into the dark
past - in which lies Kirika's memory and the secret
behind Mireille's tragic loss of her family.
Some
Characters of Note:
 Kirika
Yumura: The quiet and soft-spoken Kirika is
very young, but incredibly skilled in assassination
to the point of surpassing her partner, Mireille.
Hardly ever showing emotion, Kirika can kill people
without even blinking an eye - but the truth as
to why she can do it without feeling remorse is
still a mystery to her. She possesses no memories
of the past beyond recent ones, and is still searching
for her true identity, something whichshe asks Mireille
to help her with.

 Mireille
Bouquet :
A beautiful and deadly assassin, Mireille's efficient
work in carrying out murders has earned her the
right to call herself "Noir", a name which
inspires fear in those in the underworld. A mercenary
who kills anyone for a price, Mireille possesses
a tragic past of blood, as her family was killed
for seemingly no reason when she was very young.
She agrees to help Kirika find out her memories,
as well as find out the truth behind her family's
murders.
|
 Chloe:
The mysterious Chloe is also a young girl trained
in the art of assassination, and even though she
uses small blades instead of guns like Kirika and
Mireille, she is still just as deadly. She seems
to know a little bit about Kirika and Mireille,
as well as their pasts, but refuses to offer details.
The question of whether or not she is present to
help or to harm both Mireille and Kirika remains
to be seen, as there are instances where she does
both.

Altena:
Her identity and motives are unknown, but she
seems to have ties to both Mireille and Kirika
in some way. She knows Chloe intimately and acts
as a mother towards the deadly young assassin.
She also appears to be the one giving Chloe orders
towards unknown goals and ends. Not much is known
about her for a very long time, but she does seem
to posess an influence and ability to manipulate
that extends to even Mireille and Kirika.
