backstory
noela lives in a large insulated underwater structure way at the bottom of the abyssal zone that houses a bunch of silly sea people. she was born into a large family with an expansive lineage. during her childhood she performed well academically and played for a local baseball team ( a sport which miraculously found its way miles below sea level. yippee ), but she had difficulty making friends and forming meaningful relationships. she spent most of her free time collecting records
noela started attending live shows quite frequently and eventually took independent gigs as a vocalist. she was able to befriend al sully and took an interest in his piano playing. he later asked her to be a vocalist for him and yves barnegat's band. they saw quite a bit of recognition as
a jazz trio.
eventually the three of them pursued a polyamorous relationship and had a daughter. barnegat would leave suddenly after becoming unhappy in the relationship, though they were able to become friends again after a few years of hard feelings. noela was still a bit sour about him leaving unannounced.
goyo lantana became noela and al's partner, and the band's drummer, some time before they had made amends with barnegat.
