Alpha Werewolf
Noemi appears to be one of the oldest members of the Pack. When you are introduced to her, you notice she and Alpha Werewolf have a grandmother/grandson-type relationship. When he discovers that Werewolf Hunter is of the Pack and questions Noemi about it, Noemi reveals that Hunter is his older sister and she was born on the night of a full moon. Due to the complications of her birth, she was left to die as that had been the way of the Pack for generations. When you are disgusted by the archaic tradition, she tells you that only the Alpha can change the way things are done.

When Noemi is killed by Sergei, Alpha as well as most of the Pack (minus Jett) partake in a ritual to mourn her death. When Jett challenges Alpha for leadership of the Pack, Alpha calls out Noemi's name during the fight.

Your Character
In Chapter 3, if you decide to attend the ritual where the Pack goes to heal an abandoned mine which had been mined for coal by Sayre Energy and Power, you see the power of the Primal magic and the Pack's true purpose to heal the earth. She sees the Primal magic potential inside of you, and believes you can be the Pack's next Speaker. In Chapter 12, you have the option to accept her Speaker's Regalia outfit from her youth, and in Chapter 14, you can choose to lead the Purification Ceremony to heal the spring. If you decline, Isobel will lead the ceremony and you will forgo your status as Speaker.

Before her death, Noemi asks you to help Hunter discover her Wolf form. When Alpha begins to question his decision to allow Hunter into the Pack, you remind him that it was Noemi's last belief that Hunter belonged with them.
