Noir's mother sustains the Stargazer household by crafting resourceful meals despite severe financial limitations. Her cooking relies on unconventional ingredients, including freely acquired bread crusts and undisclosed items from a "suspicious bag" that provoke Noir's anxiety due to their unknown origins.

She formed a habit of consuming unusual food combinations during the family's direst economic periods, a practice that endured even after their circumstances improved. This led to her self-styled "Unique Creations," which her family consistently avoids.

Her culinary approach involves maintaining secrecy about meal plans, often responding to inquiries with a wink or a "mysterious smile" to amplify anticipation or apprehension, particularly when introducing novel ingredients.

The family's financial strain, intensified by tuition fees for Noir's second brother Gillan at merchant school, demanded extreme household economies. As primary meal provider, she adapts by utilizing low-cost or free resources like bread crumbs secured through personal connections.

Noir's reactions—visible discomfort and fear of gastrointestinal repercussions—underscore the family's widespread reluctance to eat her experimental dishes. She acknowledges this isolation in culinary preference yet persists in her methods.
