Completely the opposite of actual Noa but what if she was a Setite?
AH so we've actually imagined Noa as a Setite before! So the Followers of Set (this is how Noa and Nyth originally met Harrakhty Hamdi in our canon timeline) actually assisted Nyth, Noa, and one of her surviving Uncles with crossing the border from Mexico to the United States after the attack on Noa's family compound! So in this alternate situation, I imagine the Setites betraying the Giovanni and kidnapping Noa for themselves rather than letting them pass through as originally agreed. Maybe after they find out her skill in rituals and magic. We DO have Noa currently having been Embraced at her party, but we also waffle on whether or not it should have happened until she gets to America! In this version of events, we'll say there was no time to Embrace her before she had to escape, leaving her just a little ghoul-thang. Perhaps the Setites felt like they could betray the Giovanni after the attack while they were weak and distracted, perhaps something else was going on in their heads, who knows.... who would miss one little girl? @thesixthplaneteer thinks Nyth would've escaped right into the hands of the Sabbat who had been chasing them while Noa remains captured. It's not a fun or glamourous life for Noa as a Setite, I imagine it's definitely a "being trafficked at the border" situation. I think with her clear affinity for Necromancy, she would be treated well enough and brought around the Setite Sorcerers, though kept at an arm's length for a while due to her being an outsider and perhaps not accepting of Set and his word. I imagine her just as stoic and poised as she would have been in her canon timeline, but a lot more willing to be ruthless and doing her own dirty work. I kind of also imagine her being a bit more willing to use feminine wiles to get her way, but not in a exciting and passionate way but in a resigned "whatever" way. Not fun or cool I know. Anyone who knows how to read her would understand she's miserable but she's trapped in the hands of the cult, and she may eventually "open her heart" to Set but anyone with half a brain could see she doesn't mean it. Just saying what someone wants her to say so she can have access to the means she needs. She'd have her Setite resources to use for her studies and magicks, but at this point it feels like a sunk-cost fallacy. :3 Sorry I imagine it very sad and lonely and bleak for her, even if she's surrounded by dancers and pretty lights and money and etc. :3 Below is old art where we conceptualized her as a stripper when she was forcibly turned into a Setiteeee agh.
