Noshum is a character of Topmonhit's who has seemed to gain a bit of fame. One possible reason is he is a main character of The 1576 Kingdom Novel, but on the other hand, hardly anyone reads that. He is a Shadow Creature, the same as The Shadow Sirens, which earns him the mistrust of many, notably Subsourian. Despite this, he's often good-natured and friendly, and is also a strong fighter as well. He totally loves Vivian. Vivian's totally his wife.

Top Story Bio
Noshum originally was a high-ranked Shadow Creature who worked for the Shadow King. However when they got to Star World through a portal and found the Shadow Queen to have been defeated after she went there, the Shadow Creatures attacked the planet. Beldam, Marilyn and Doopliss told them of Vivian's betrayel, and Noshum went to find her. Because Vivian decided to go against the Shadow Queen and King, Noshum decided to help the YB, who were trying to defeat the Shadow King. So he told them how to get new Crystal Stars, which had been destroyed, and together they went to get new Crystal Stars and defeat the Shadow King. After that Noshum and Vivian left, but Noshum reappeared to help Koop when he was attacked by some wolves. He hasn't reappeared since. As for personality, he's a pretty likable guy for a Shadow Creature, but maybe that's just because the Shadow Creatures had been under the rule of the Shadow King for so long. He seems to have known Vivian for a long time, and from that it seems he loves her. Why else would he go against the Shadow King? What? The Shadow King was a jerk? Well, yeah... anyway, he's about the same height as Vivian and looks like a normal male Shadow Creature (whatever THAT looks like), and he has a top hat with an orange band on it. Like Vivian, his main element is fire.
History
Early Years
Essentially nothing is known about Noshum before the Shadow Dimension's invasion of Star World; mostly what's known is he was a scribe for the Shadow King and knew Vivian before the Shadow Queen had come to Star World. He had grown a love for her, actually, but she and her sisters, Beldam and Marilyn, left with the Shadow Queen when she left for Star World to take it over. For a thousand years, he wouldn't see her...
The Star World Invasion
A little over 1000 years after The Shadow Sirens and the Shadow Queen left, the barrier blocking Star World with the Shadow Dimension in Battleship Atlantis was broken, and two Shadow Creatures were sent out to locate the Shadow Sirens. Once they did, and they returned, the news that the Shadow Queen had been defeated and killed came to the Shadow King. Noshum noticed, however, that although Beldam, Marilyn, and a strange sheet-creature named Doopliss were there, Vivian was nowhere to be found; apparently, she had left and joined the hero who had defeated the Shadow Queen!
The Shadow Monarchy began attacking Star World, kidnapping Princess Peach and looking for Vivian, but Noshum managed to escape away and began to secretly follow a group that called themselves The Yoshi Bodyguards. Eventually they were able to locate Vivian, and Noshum revealed himself, surprising some of the YBs and making Koop jealous (who seemed to have been infatuated with Vivian), and began to ask Vivian why she seceded. After learning her reasons, Noshum decided to help the YBs.
Unfortunately, Atlantis began firing on them at that point, so the YBs got in their ships and began to fire back, eventually able to send it to the ground. They then ran in and made their way into the Shadow Dimension, where Noshum told them they could make new Crystal Stars. They hurried through the dimension, avoiding the Shadow Warriors, and eventually made it to the Cyrstal Shrine, where they obtained seven new Crystal Stars. With these, they rushed into Shadow Castle and defeated the Shadow King, freeing the Shadow Dimension from the Shadow Monarchy.
Settling Down
With the Shadow Dimension freed, Noshum and Vivian went to live together at Twilight Town, hoping for some peace. Noshum's peace would be temporarily interrupted, however, when he was traveling through a forest randomly and saw a pack of wolves attacking Koop. He went into the shadows, got closer, and attacked the wolves to drive them off, after which he brought Koop to the YB infirmery as soon as he could.
Other than that, there weren't many events Noshum was engaged in, simply living peacefully with Vivian. Holiday of 2008, however, Noshum gave Vivian a wedding ring and proposed to her.
