-<big>'''THE BELOVED'''</big>

 [[Tsuru]] - Tsuru has made promises and told Nori secret things, and in some ways is thus the most precious person in the whole wide world to her. (There are, of course, other worlds, but we leave that aside for now.)
-[[Madoka Kaname|Madoka]] - Sweet, kind and brave, Madoka may lack some of the advantages that Nori knows that she has had, but the strength of her heart is something that awes and shames Nori when she considers it. One of her fondest memories is watching pilot whales in the early-March cold - the happiest birthday she's ever had. (So far.)
+[[Mami Tomoe|Mami]] - A late dawning, Mami has always given off a peaceful sort of aura even when she was throwing huge volleys of fire at their enemies. And of course, she is one who Nori remembers losing. They say you don't know what you've had until it's gone, and for once there is the miracle of a second chance... ...She also has a habit of keeping good supplies of fine cake.
-[[Sayaka Miki|Sayaka]] - Sayaka would have been a step below if she did not have the singular misfortune of being someone who Nori bled to defend. Nori was already charmed by her bravery and the simple sincerity of Sayaka's passion, which struck a resonant chord in the blackwood resonant chamber that is her heart. But now Sayaka nearly died. Nori may cool down a little eventually.
+[[Endo Naoki|Endo]] - This tall and stoic fellow knight is someone that Nori has always found curiously enigmatic. Is it simply the gulf in their experiences? Is it his partnership with Fallen Stern (a charmer, in his laconic way)? Either way, he has a special place in Nori's heart, if for rather grim reasons.
-<big>'''THE BEFRIENDED'''</big>
+[[Mikoto Minagi|Mikoto]] - She was terror, she was horror, she was a faint feeling of disgust that something could be held in reserve for so long. But Nori heeded the law of the Sea and it has repaid itself sevenfold, revealing that beneath the desperate fighter and brutal warrior there was something soft and gentle.
-[[Garnet]] - This towering woman is stern, silent, brave and strong. Nori likes her, even if they haven't really spoken much. But at least Nori feels that these things aren't unusual, when it comes to Garnet.
+<big>'''Complicated'''</big>
-<big>'''THOSE FOR WHOM NEUTRALITY BURNS'''</big>
+[[Kozue Kaoru|KOZUE]] - She remains an antithesis in many ways and yet somehow there is some indescribable feeling in knowing she is back and that a miracle has happened, an impossible dream fulfilled, which puts a rose-tint on the jagged edges of a sharp and wild person.
-[[Fuu Hououji]] - The Magic Knight and her alter ego are a curious study in contrasts. On the one hand Nori has appreciated her aid in many forms, and on the other hand she did not much enjoy her expedition into the realm of Cephiro to aid Fuu. Their personalities are also not really compatible, or incompatible. And so, Nori knows that when it comes to the question - is Fuu a precious person to you? - her heart says... Maybe.
+[[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri]] - It is quieter, perhaps, than most, but it is there. Once there was pain in a rainy shed. Now there was cake on a beach. Things turn around; what will five years bring? Ten years? Will they know each other at all? Ah... but there WILL be a five years from now. Won't there?

-[[Eri Shimanouchi|Eri]] - Eri Shimanouchi is not someone Nori has ever really gotten along with, although there was a period where she was gentler, more sincere. She would hate her more for what she does were it not for the tragic fact that... Well: While Nori cannot concur with Eri's actions, she can comprehend not wanting to die. It may not be good, but it isn't evil, either.

-Nori Ankou is a simple Ohtori from a wealthy family in Sapporo... on the surface, anyway, the same surface that shows a girl who's shed some of the classical ojou mannerisms in favor of dark hair, dark eyes and dark clothing. And adding to that darkness is her secret role as La Sirene du Nord, aspirant to the queendom of the Sea of Tears, a mystical realm of sorrow and dark beauty! (Even her magic lantern, the Brazen Pharos, seems to radiate darkness, not light.) Nori is a surprisingly vulnerable and caring young woman underneath the gothick demeanor, and la Sirene du Nord has changed too, from an ominous figure to a spectral protector of this flawed, wounded and beautiful world.
+Nori Ankou is a fashion model by night and a high school student at Ohtori by day. In both places she presents herself as a young woman of few words and striking appearances, whether in the social whirl of the Academy or the glamorous heat of "Akai Mirai." Those who know her beneath this exterior know someone a little tentative, a little sad, and deeply caring. It was not long ago that she was stuck-up, with her nose in the air, nursing a hurt that her parents seemed to choose an infant brother over her as the recipient of their affections... but now she has friends and confidants of whom she is quite fond. She is also fond of otters... she would have to be, for one is her cousin, Batiste, an emissary from the distant Sea of Tears.  For Nori Ankou is also la Sirene de Diamant, a glittering beacon in an imperfect world and one of the Sirens of that far-off sea, pursuing the heights of queenship. With Batiste's guidance, she draws on the alien  abyssal light of the Sea of Tears to guide the innocent and scourge the  wicked, protecting Tokyo (well, parts of Tokyo) from interlopers and  malefactors.

 Nori has also developed as a person. While standing in defense of [[Tsuru]], the creator of AoAka, a cruel stroke from [[Shizuru Fujino]], la Sirene du Nord perished, in a way: the cold winter winds of the north dying like a dream denied. And yet, whether through the strength of a secret promise or the enigmatic truth that "We Only Live To Be Born Again," someone new rose from the dry husk of du Nord: la Sirene de Diamant, glittering and splendid.
-Other than her fashion career and desultory efforts towards schoolwork, Nori is still pursuing a case involving mysterious black corals from the Sea of Tears. By "Nori," we mean "Batiste," the long-suffering mustelid regularly attempting to contact IFREMER in France for advice...
+Other than her fashion career and desultory efforts towards schoolwork, Nori was also given the mantle of leadership of the Chevaliers when Sayaka Miki left in order to pursue her vendetta against Eri Shimanouchi. Thus far, Nori has been too racked by grief to guide the Chevaliers to anything more ambitious than protecting a portion of Tokyo and trying to stop Sayaka from murdering Shimanouchi in the street. However, this is the sort of thing that draws the eyes of the Mother of Sorrows.

+Nori's main pursuit in life at the moment is not the educational studies that befit a school-lady of her age. That would be the obvious thing, even at Ohtori, but instead she has, despite her young age, become one of the leading lights of a rising fashion house, representing <span style="color:darkred">Akai Mirai</span> - the darker, glamorous, night-time side of the AoAka label. <span style="color:darkred">Akai Mirai</span> can be anything and everything except blue.
