Noah Whitefang

Noah Whitefang is the King of Elisaia, and a former member of the Stygian Queen's cadre. He is one of the main protagonists of the Wicked Fae.

Early Life
Noah Whitefang was born to Kai Whitefang and Lana Okalani in Toetu. He grew up often taking care of his younger sister, Natia, after their mother died during childbirth. After the death of their mother, their father became a husk of who he was and became negligent. His sister was his closest friend and meant the world to him. They relied on each other after the death of their mother. Noah had fond memories of his parents, though most cause him pain to reminisce.

The Fall of Elisaia
Shortly after the fall of Neirin, although once allied forces, Lavan Shadowmourne declared war on Elisaia. For almost a decade, the two countries were at war with each other at the border before Morana took the throne, won the war, and seized Elisaia. Noah fought back using his magic, trying to defend his father and sister. He was restrained by soldiers, forced to watch the murder of his father. He screamed for Natia to escape, which she managed to do by creating a sandstorm to keep from being captured. This was kept secret that she escaped and Morana manipulated Noah into thinking his sister was dead. She told him that "it would be such a waste to kill someone with so much potential" so she offered him a choice: become a member of her cadre or end his own miserable life. Suffering from survivor's guilt but "too much of a coward to end his own life", he chose to become the first member of her cadre.

Appearance
He has curly dark-brown hair with stubble, golden-brown eyes, and caramel skin. He is described as having cruel, granite-hewn features, but with a rare smile as "warm as the sun itself". He has a warrior’s body, powerful and muscled. He tends to wear warrior’s clothes. His secondary animal form is a tiger.

Personality
As a young boy, he was warm, kind, and gentle. After the death of his mother, he became protective of his sister and matured quickly while having to take care of her. At the belief that his sister was also killed, he blamed himself for failing to protect her. He suffers from survivor's guilt, consumed by self-hatred. He becomes vicious and cold, promising himself that he would never care for anyone again. He convinced himself that he was content with being alone. He is described by River as "wicked and ruthless." After the death of the Queen and remembering the death of his sister, he wept for the first time in relief since that day, proving that despite his ongoing facade of coldness that he can still understand and feel the true feelings of heartbreak and loss.

His personality slowly changes throughout the series. After meeting Liviana, he becomes more and more vulnerable around her. Treating her gently at times, he also treats her hatefully when he can feel himself beginning to open up to her, terrified of caring for her.
