{{Relationship
|Melody Delri'ise
|RELATIONSHIP=A tactician with hidden depths, basically best friends
|PICTURE=Melody--Juneau.jpg
|COLOR=Gold
|BLURB=Noa and Melody met during their first shore leave aboard the {{USS|Eagle}}. Noa caught Melody in the Eagle's Astrometrics lab, conducting unauthorized scans. Instead of turning Melody in, Noa joined her and helped with the scans. During that time, she also learned of Melody's history as a science officer.

As time went on, the two got on friendlier terms with each other, to a point where Noa trusts Melody more, and is completely okay with Melody referring to her by her first name.

|Quentin Collins
|RELATIONSHIP=Former direct superior and scientific colleague
|PICTURE=QCollins.png
|COLOR=Blue
|BLURB=Being Noa's direct superior onboard the {{USS|Eagle}} and the {{USS|Juneau}}, Quentin and Noa were bound to meet at some point since her arrival. They indeed met on the bridge during the Eagle's capture of Admiral Valcose and Sikes. They met on a more official capacity during shore leave, and after [[If This Goes On... (USS_Eagle)|the briefing on the Ringworld]], Quentin had a breakdown - one which Noa managed to handle fairly well, considering it happened so quickly.

During [[No Matter the Cost (Juneau)|the mission to the Uiliv system]], Quentin transferred to the {{USS|Arrow}} as first officer. The two have yet to re-establish contact.

|Airik Tierney
|RELATIONSHIP=Either someone to avoid, or a potentially good friend
|PICTURE=Airik Tierney.png
|COLOR=Teal
|BLURB=Noa and Airik first off-duty encounter took place in the {{No USS|Juneau}}'s [[USS Juneau/Clanhouse|Clanhouse]], where they spoke about various subjects - from some of their histories, to meditation techniques. Noa isn't sure what to make of him yet, considering her previous experiences with counselors, but for a change, she was willing to give it a try, and the two agreed to meet again, to practice Mindfulness Meditation.

{{Relationship
|Esa Kiax
|RELATIONSHIP=Academy friend, someone to talk to
|PICTURE=Kiax.jpg
|COLOR=Gold
|BLURB=Esa and Noa initially met at the Academy, at the [[Starfleet Academy Division of Arts & Sciences/Physics|Physics 101 class]], where Noa helped Esa pass the class. The two became close there, but after Esa's graduation the connection was cut. Their friendship rekindled once Noa transferred to the {{USS|Chin'toka}}, when they could actually serve together.

Their friendship is sufficiently strong for Noa to feel safe around her, which included dropping her stoic behavior around Esa.

|Serala
|RELATIONSHIP=New First Officer and... family?
|PICTURE=Serala.png
|COLOR=Red
|BLURB=Noa initially only became familiar with Serala during Noa's first mission briefing since her transfer to the {{USS|Chin'toka}} just before [[My Brother's Keeper (Chin'toka)|the Chin'toka's mission to Tibro]]. After that mission, though, having heard of Serala's daughter T'Saara, Noa decided to bring her a gift - a PADD that emits a tribble's purr when tapped. After T'Saara favorable reaction to the PADD, Serala assured Noa that with her joining the crew, she was now part of the Chin'toka family. That meeting had a rather large impact on Noa, and since then, she at least ''tries'' to open up, even if very much slightly.

Noa is slowly opening up to Serala - she wouldn't exactly drop her instinctive stoic behavior, but she's slowly getting there.

{{Heading|Background|Blue}}
Noa was born just a couple of months before the Dominion War began, on Starbase 295, a starbase in Federation space, close to Earth, with her parents stationed there.

Following the Dominion War, her parents were reassigned to Earth, and as such moved to their old family home at Tel Aviv, Israel, where Noa was raised.

During her childhood she was also taught Vulcan logic and emotional suppression.

Due to her shared heritage, Noa is fluent in Vulcan, Hebrew and English.

At the Academy, Noa focused on the Sciences, primarily Astronomy and Physics. She also focused on programming, especially holo-programming, a subject she greatly enjoyed.
