High Ability
Celestial Moon Summon – The user is able to summon a type of Moon of a planet that can take form of any creature. The user is able to summon at the limit of two spirits at the same time, and no more. As summoning takes a great deal of magic, it uses 45% of the users magic, then as for the magic consumed, the summoning effect will be 50% weaker than other spells in order to stabilize their summoner and prevent from total loss of magic. She is able to sustain a spirit summoning for quite sometime if only one is present, but if she were to use two spirits, then the magic usage will be faster, thus she is only able to sustain it until she de-transforms. These summons are :
Planet Jupiter: Almathea. It takes form of a human-goat hybrid and attacks its foes with the attribute of Thunder.
Planet Saturn: Pan. This moon takes form of a human-sheep hybrid. It is able to heal the summoner, but if it heals someone else, it uses its summoners own health to do so.

Hope of Luna- Noko releases a powerful beam of energy at her foe, that busts through the strongest of shields. It also causes a thirty second mute effect upon the target. It can only be used once per day. The downside of this spell is that Noko herself is also muted for thirty seconds as well.

Appearance:
Noko has a long black flowing hair that reaches up to her waist, however as of Year 1 upon her return from the Moon, her hair had turned silver, to which according to her step-parents is most likely due to her realization of her lost heritage. As a child of both the Moon and Solaria, her eyes tend to switch colours from time to time, colours opal or sky blue, it depends on the alignment of the Moon and Sun. She has beautiful luscious lips which she at times places yellow lipstick on, and at times places pink or red, depending on the colour of her eyes.
Basic Winx appearance
Strengths:
Singing: Noko is able to sing very well as she was taught by her Mum from a young age, and she continued to practice singing throughout her youth.
Literature Studies and Novel writing: With her love for the Earth Literature, she is very good at analyzing text and putting meaning behind them, as well as breaking down the intentions of the author. Due to her studies, Noko has taken up writing novels, which is is very passionate about. While able to write things in a short period of time, she tends to hide these since she believes the world isn't ready for her works.
Ability to stay focus: Due to her focus in battle, Noko remains calm and collected, thus allowing her to be able to make decisions clearly so she won't put people at risk.
Weaknesses:
Certain Sports: Noko is bad at sports such as football, tennis, and other earthling sports available, hence why she prefers combat-related physical activities.
Light Magic: Due to the recent encounters with Helios, Noko has developed a fear of light magic. While she hasn't shown visibly around her friends, she will flinch or slightly panic when faced with it.
Fire: Being a magical creature hailing from the Moon, fire is one of her weakness. Although she is able to withstand it for some time in battle, she does not hold out long when too much fire is involved.
Personality: She is considered emotionally mature for her age due to the pain of her past, While Noko has a tendency to be quiet, she is no longer shy and once someone is able to get to know her better, she is shown to have a great humour, a silly attitude that is kept in check by her serious nature. She is also very sweet and loving to those she truly cares for.
After her time and adventures in Alfea lately, Noko has become more confident than she originally was and now has the tendency to be more talkative to her closest friends. Her great humour and silly attitude is expressed when she is around her peers. Furthermore, she is also prepared to speak up for people if needed be to protect them or assert her point. She is not afraid to back down and will fight if she has to. She also has trust issues, closing down around new people, however she will trust someone if they've shown her loyalty and kindness. She also can get easily angered if her buttons have been pushed, going into a mild yelling fit. Whenever she is on a tough and serious situation however, her silly attitude immediately shifts to that of a serious one, putting the safety of others before her own in order to ensure that everyone comes out of the situation alive. Noko is an avid reader, but due to this fact, she tends to lose herself in what she is doing and ignore everything around her. This leads her ignoring her studies.
History:
Past
Beginnings and Adoption Arc - Noko's New Life
Pre-Alfea Events:
From the time of her birth to the age of twelve, Noko lived in the planet Earth. Life on Earth was beautiful and she lived happily with her parents. She has memories of times when her Mother would take her around the town and buy her some delicious ice cream. They were a happy family and they couldn't be any happier. However, when Noko was five, her Mother fell ill right before their annual family picnic, and was sent to the hospital. Unfortunately, she did not make it in time and was already growing weak by the time they've arrived to the hospital. As she cried by her Mother's side, her Mother gently placed her hand on Noko's head and whispered "I'll always be here for you my darling", she grabbed Noko's hand and handed her a pendant. Her Mother smiled with her usual happy smile, and said "This is the Moonlight Pendant, I want you to have it. You are a lot more special than you think Noko" and with that, she passed away.
Due to her mother's demise and to her Father's heartbreak, Noko’s father decided that they will live on his home planet Solaria instead. Although he never told Noko why, she knew that it was because he wanted to forget, he wanted to stop feeling hurt every time he was reminded of Noko's Mother, and as a result while she was growing up in Solaria, her Father had never mentioned her Mother again, and whenever she brings it up he would get mad at her. He kept himself busy all the time with work and never paid much attention to Noko.
During Parental Events at School, Noko would always be waiting for her father to come, but was usually disappointed because he always had an excuse, and Noko had to accept this. On Noko's 12th birthday, while Noko was going back home, she saw suitcases that were packed. She went to her Dad and asked him what they were for, but he never answered her. Once they got to their destination, Noko finally realized what was happening.
"Solaria Adoption Home" the sign says. Tears formed within Noko's eyes and she began begging her father to not do what he was about to do. He shook her off, signed some papers, and headed for the door. Noko ran after him, crying hard, screaming and begging for him not to leave her. The Adoption Mother held her back and she watched in pain as she saw her father drive away in his car, and never saw him again.
Running to her room, she cried there for hours. She was a lonely child, and due to her relationship with her father, she was unable to trust people around her, thus preventing her to make friends or have a relationship with people.
She was constantly rumoured to be the “bad luck”, the "Daughter of Darkness", the "Moon-ridden", and was bullied. This was solely because every time she was around, monsters would usually attack. It was later revealed that this is due to Noko’s uniqueness as a being belonging from two different dimensions, one of magic, and one of nature. Due to this, she is constantly seen as a ‘witch’ and 'indifferent' but is actually the opposite. By constantly being bullied, Noko has learnt to ignore the hurtful accusations, which had caused her to become emotionally mature for her age. However, when she sees another person being bullied she does not hesitate to take actions and defend them, which at times causing more harm to come to herself than the person being bullied.
On her 15th birthday, she was finally adopted. A couple from Solaria who wanted their own daughter had decided to adopt her. Try as they might, Noko was not able to open herself to them. Knowing Noko's painful past, they never gave up on her. They kept trying to connect with her, until one day, during a Parental Event in school, Noko sat alone expecting that they wouldn't come, when suddenly they showed up
Noko finally opened herself up to them, and was able to feel once again what it feels like to have parents who truly love you. As Noko grew up with them, she became her old self once again, but the damages of her past kept her from becoming friendly with others, keeping her from being friendly with other people, so she was only able to warm herself up to her parents.
Alfea Arc: Becoming Charmix
The Magic of Charmix:
Noko believed that they year coming up ahead would be a terrible one. She hated the idea of leaving her step-parents, but she had to learn magic either way. Thus, she decided to attend Alfea. In Alfea, she met new friends; Katherine, Lexi, and many more. Whilst preparing for a mixer, Noko was asked to sing in front of a crowd. She didn’t let her fear take over her, thus she sang in the crowd, singing her mother’s favourite song “Maria”. The crowd was impressed, and Noko then knew that she had nothing to worry about. As the day went, the mixer came, when suddenly Selina and the Witches had decided to strike Alfea! Noko fought bravely, and deciding to use ‘that’ spell, she took Lexi’s hand, and as Lexi chants her spell for “Star Shower”, Noko powers this up with the spell “Quadrature” which enabled them both to temporarily defeat Stormy, but caused them their magical energy which had them fainted.
Lying down on the ground, Noko got mad at herself. She's always feared the idea of death, having to leave everyone you love, never to see them again, it was all too scary for her. But, she knew that what she did wasn't enough to repay the world of giving her an amazing life that she has been taking for granted, so in her mother's stead, she decided to stand up.
Shakily, she got off her feet and began to grab her Moonlight Pendant. She then began to transform once again.
She looked at her surroundings, her friend Lexi was suffering, everyone was in pain, she had to do her part too, she had to keep fighting. "Celestial Summon: WHITE MOON BEAR!" and with that, she summoned a white bear and rode on it as she attacked the monsters.
In her mind, she knew what she wanted to do "I'm not afraid of death anymore, I don't care if I die now, but what I'm afraid of is losing the ones I love!" she shouted as she continued to take out monsters.
Her forehead began to shimmer, and the crescent moon mark began to feel hot. Right then, Noko suddenly realised what was happening, and then she knew what to do!
"Moon Charmix Power! Transform!" She finally gained Charmix as she continues to battle on, to protect the ones she love.
Right after the battle, devastated by the outcomes, after waking up in the early morning she decided to return to the hidden room she had accidentally entered the previous day. The books were in large numbers, thus she decided to look around more, when suddenly a book floated right in front of her. "Celestial Moon Magic". It contained every spell she could unlock as she grows more as a fairy. She flipped through the Charmix section, and found a list of Spells to summon Moon Creatures of different planets. She was also able to know upgraded spells of her old spells as a Charmix fairy.
The Moon Arc Part 1: Helios' Return
The Guardian's Awakening:
After her return from the Christmas Party in Earth where she gave her pendant to Lena for safe keeping, Noko stumbles upon a cloudy sky that began to form around Alfea. Noko immediately realized that this had something to do with the mysterious note she received a few days earlier. From the sky appeared Stormy, who began to fight. With the help of Charma, Katherine, Chandra, Clara, and Beth, they battle against Stormy in order to prevent her from causing anymore travel within the Alfea Grounds. But suddenly, Stormy summoned the Legendarium Bookkeeper, Selina. With the use of her book, as Noko began to confront her about the note Seilna had sent her, she released the Creator of the Moon Magic, Helios. During the time of his imprisonment, Helios had worked on further bettering his control on his Prophetic Visions, in which as the position of Moon Guardian was passed on, he knew who was currently the holder of the pendant that was wielded from the Moon Orb he had created. It was now his time as he began to interrogate Nokomis, he grabbed her by the neck and began to choke her, hoping that the pain would cause her to give up the whereabouts of the pendant.
Healing Lena earlier on using on of her higher spells, Noko was practically powerless, however she refused to give up the locations of the Pendant's whereabouts. Helios began to attack those who seized after him, but all failed to give Noko some help. As Noko slowly began to fade away, she began to see visions of the past, the memories of the previous Moon Guardians that had been implanted inside her mind. Slowly, she began to feel betrayed by her own mother, but her dead Mother's words of encouragement came through, and she decided to fight on. However, still powerless, Helios threw her aside and stole Chandra's pendant, believing it was the Moonlight Pendant.
Realizing it was not, he threw the pendant aside and once again grabbed hold of Noko. Slowly, she began to grow at her weakest point. As Beth tried to attack the Winged Man, he used Nokomis as a shield by throwing her into the attack.
Noko, close to death on the floor, Lena began to protect her. Helios recognizes the Moonlight Pendant, and bargains Noko's life for it. Upon choosing Noko's safety over her promise, she earned her Charmix, and was able to save Noko from her death. However, Helios got away with the Moonlight Pendant, ordering the Shadow Phoenix to hide it somewhere unreachable. Noko weakly watched as the Shadow Phoenix flew off, and Helios slowly disappeared, only leaving her a message, "Awaken or the Moon Kingdom will meet its end." she then blacked out.
The Moon Arc Part 2: Noko's Choice
The Pendant's Destruction:
After attempting to enter Shadowhaunt and failed, the gang were forced to clean up Alfea, without magic. However, after regaining their magic, the group decided to return to Shadowhaunt, with the help of brand new faces, Lexi, Chandra, Beth, Roxas, and Ryan. Using the secret underground caves of the Alfea well, they all head down to Shadowhaunt where many challenges arise. Upon arriving, Noko and Lena fell down a steep but was rescued by Beth and the others.
During their rest whilst everyone slept, Lena snuck off to confront Helios herself, guilty about what had happened. However, she was soon trapped and tortured by Helios. The rest of the group decided to search for her, but was stopped upon Helios' interference. 8 doors appeared, with symbols representing each of the foreshadowed Guardians. Inside the door was a weakened Lena. Each Guardian entered their separate doors, whilst Ryan, Roxas, and Chandra waited. Going through trials and tribulations within the room, none was able to choose to save Lena, for their choices had involved a life of another. Finally, when it was Noko's turn, Helios transported everyone into Darkar's lair, and he had Noko and Lena captive.
The weakened Noko was being chocked by Helios, when a powered up Lena broke herself free and tried attacking Helios. She failed, but Noko knew what to do, Thus, she decided to have Ryan, Roxas, and Chandra distract Helios whilst the 8 Guardians destroyed the Moonlight Pendant that Noko had snatched off Helios whilst she was being chocked. Using a Charmix Convergence, the pendant finally broke, ending Helios' life and sending it to the afterlife. As a price, Noko's soul was also taken along as her life force and Helios' life force are intertwined. Noko knew this, but to save her friends, she had done what she had to.
The soulless body of Noko fell on the ground, and was soon cold. The girls grieved fro their demised friend, but was told by Noko's mother that there was still a chance for her to survive, in which they must go to the Moon to find out. Sam appears to return them back to Alfea, where the girls were healed, and Noko's body was put into a cryogenic state to preserve it.
The Moon Arc Part 3: A New Life
The Chosen Ones:
With the intensity high, and the grief all around, the group is determined to go to the Moon and rescue Noko. After much research and decisions, the 8 Guardians found out that the only way they could travel to the Moon is with the help of the Moon Priestess. Turns out, Chandra is a descendant to the Moon Priestess, thus she was able to use the Orb of Light and transport the group to the Moon. In there, they find the Royal Jewelry room, only accessible to Moon Royalty, and the 7 Chosen Guardians.
In there, they find the legendary Moonlight Staff, the staff presented to Guardians of the Moon Power, and the Moon. Upon touching the staff, Chandra was denied and thrown off, however, as all the 7 Guardians touched it, the more it grew stronger, and led them to the Ark of the Moonlight's Keep.
In there, a beautiful golden ark awaits for them, waiting to be destroyed to free Noko. With a magical convergence, the staff lit at its mightiest, and destroyed the Golden Arc. Out of the Ark released a million of souls, and the Guardian Nokomis. She gave a smile and thanked the other Guardians for freeing her, and told them all that she is the original Nokomis, who will be remaining in the Moon to protect it. However, using the soul splitting technique Helios once did, Guardian Nokomis split her soul in to two, one that shall remain in the Moon, and one that will live on with her friends.
With that, she gave a blue flaming ball to Kat which is Noko's spirit, and once they all arrived back to Alfea, the soul was placed into Noko's heart, and she suddenly came to life! Noko's pixie Iris was more than happy to see her, and they all embraced with a hug, in which Noko jokingly says that they should form a group, an official one, not knowing what was to come soon.
