Stealing from Hino:

You ask me a question about my characters, I answer and ask you one about yours in return, we keep going in that pattern until one of us can't think of any questions anymore, etc.

Also, as a note, Noriko is essentially permanently stuck in the mindset of a 16 year old girl. No matter what you do, she isn't going to mature emotionally. She can learn and study and write, but she's still ultimately always going to be working from a stuck frame of a teenage girl.

If she tries to be an adult, she's going to act more in the way she'd an expect an adult woman to be from her teenage view point.

Ultimately, I'm going to have to say that Noriko's situation is essentially because she's cut and paste data in Gren's brain. When Jin and the gang shattered Gren Maju Da Eiza, essentially all the data left in the suit of armor, or rather got back into it. Was. Noriko.

Which brings up an important question. Is Noriko actually Noriko? Or is she Gren thinking she's Noriko?

As far as the contract goes, Noriko's far more benevolent with regards to the Samasus. As Linka noted, Noriko pretty much gives the Samasus extensive free reign unlike the Fiend. In fact unlike the Fiend, she heavily prefers most of the Samasus make their own choices and have their own quirks and personalities.

One could construe Noriko's ultimately doing this as a favor since a lot of important people in her life are Samasus. Shikou is a brother figure to her despite issues. Souha is a very close friend and spouse. Suguru is a friend. Etc.
