Ever since kithood, Noah dreamed of working in the arts. Unfortunately, his small stature left much to be desired by most places he attempted to enroll, crushing his dreams. Defeated, he enlisted to the royal army, where he swiftly rose through the ranks, despite his setbacks, and became one of the most renowned, skilled Royal Guards known today. His journey wasn't easy in the slightest, his size often made him the butt of other soldier's jokes, but he didn't let that stop him a second time.
Once Noah became an established, high-ranking officer, things began to change in the Royal Army. Soldiers' moral and attitudes shifted for the better, and there was a noted increase in enlistment. Most think it was changing times, but few know the real reason - Noah's approach to training. For starters, the short feline changed the regime. Instead of harsh, strict sessions, Noah enlisted the help of his best friends to create a more down-to-earth, sensible training regime. Instead of forcing Soldiers to endure harsh conditions for the sake of 'basic training', he'd instead train them in practical survival skills, giving them the option to endure said conditions if they chose to do so. Having the option instead of being forced into something new steadily raised moral and saw the increased respect of the tiny Royal Guard, aka Corporal Noah.
After spending months training Battalion Eighteen, Noah opted to spend his time training the cadets. The Royal Army offered a cadet training service to young creatures of the kingdom, earning them extra educational accreditation and a guaranteed spot in the army - should they choose to take it. Noah's idea behind making the switch was one that displayed his compassion. He'd watched the cadet training and their current leader - Ash - was, in Noah's opinion, rather brutal towards the younger creatures.
Taking over the training, Noah's gentler side really flourished. He found that spending time teaching future Soldiers how to be compassionate and kind really boosted his happiness. His cadets all looked to him for guidance and comfort, and he became a secondary uncle of sorts towards all his squadron. He spent a good few years with the Cadets, before returning to his higher post - only after selecting a prior cadet as his replacement. Upon return to his current post, he met Ash and Zack, the latter of which is his now-husband.
