I have a rough idea on a story that could star Noel. It'd also include a guest appearance by Susie.

Spoiler for Noel:

Lanseal is informed that Susie Evans, daughter of the Evans family, has been kidnapped by Rebel spies and is being held in a heavily defended region of Rebel territory. Class G, among other classes, is dispatched to rescue Susie, along with completing other key objectives in the area. Class G's job, however, is rescuing Susie. The Gallian high command wants Susie brought back alive since her parents are strong supporters of Cordelia's rule.

Noel has heard of Susie's reputation as "Squad Seven's Saint", though she doesn't quite know why Susie is called that. Class G reaches the facility where Susie is being held captive, and Noel is sent in as part of the group that is to perform the rescue. They find Susie being held by the Rebels, though she is completely unharmed. She is a little squeamish, however, at seeing the number of Rebels Class G killed to get through to her.

Unfortunately, it turns out that Susie was bait for a trap set by the Rebels. Rebel reinforcements arrive and attack Class G. Though Noel gives Susie a pistol to defend herself, Susie ends up being frozen in terror when a Rebel attacks her. This ends with one of the cadets (you pick which one) being wounded while defending Susie. Noel calls her out on this, though Susie is too frightened to give a response.

At this moment, a Rebel-based artillery strike is directed at the facility, which ends up wounding a few Class G cadets and several Rebels as well. Noel and Susie, who get separated from the others, find a wounded Rebel who is surely going to die, but is begging for help. Knowing she cannot save him, Susie comforts the Rebel and eases his passing. Noel sees here why Susie was called a saint. The two are shortly afterwards rescued from the debris by the other cadets.

Susie is at first brought back to Lanseal before she is to be sent back to Randgriz, which allows her to meet with Welkin and Alicia. Noel joins her in the discussion, asking Welkin and Alicia some questions about Susie.

Make some tweaks as you wish.
