Also yeah MochiJun is very good at establishing that Noé is genuinely extremely intelligent he’s just... by his own words. Callow

#logxx #On the occasions he behaves foolishly it's not for lack of intelligence it's just he's... #Very naive and rather emotionally cut off #+ he's very quick to lose focus in a task he doesn't see as inherently stimulating #Like all the going out of her way to say like. He's not actually bad w directions he's just easily distracted #His struggles in combat are nearly always either that he simply didn't have the info necessary to react appropriately #Or that he was restrained by his own morality (i.e. w Astolfo whom he saw as a child and Vanitas who he thinks of as his friend) #When it comes to actually thinking about and discerning things Noé is v quick #And a lot of his character is defined by not only a willingness to learn but a constant seeking out of new info #And self criticism that comes from his being... just a thoughtful and intelligent person #logam #Characters I like :)
