Snow is the leader and founder of NORA (No Obligation, Rules, or Authority), a group that originally fought off wild animals and eventually became a group of rebels fighting against the Sanctum. He grew up with his childhood friends Gadot and Lebreau in the town of Bodhum at the edge of Cocoon, where they hunted stray monsters under the moniker of NORA. Snow has a very "heroic" personality, hence his title, "The Hero". Although he wishes to help anyone in need, he has a tendency to talk and act before he thinks, evident by Vanille's first impression of him being "all talk", which in turn, annoys and infuriates people (notably Lightning and Hope).

The paramilitary organization known as NORA is a group composed of like-minded youths, assembled by Snow and self-funded by the operation of a seaside caf¨¦ in Bodhum.
Functioning as a neighborhood watch of sorts, NORA members patrol the vicinity of Bodhum for trouble. Most often, "trouble" consists of encroachment by dangerous forms of wildlife.
NORA had never openly acted out against the Sanctum prior to the Purge, and because of this, the military had been content to turn a blind eye to the group's activities.

The team was originally founded by a group of youths from Bodhum, a port city at the outskirts of Cocoon, under Snow Villiers. The other members are Gadot, Lebreau, Maqui, and Yuj. They managed operations from a beach bar on the coast, initially working to battle the monsters around the city.
However, the Sanctum deemed the population of the village contaminated by Pulse and attempted a mass-Purging, provoking NORA to fight back. The group is not seen again until near the end of the game, providing cover for the l'Cie as they handle the monsters attacking Eden.
By the events of Final Fantasy XIII-2, NORA resumes their original activities in the village of New Bodhum.
EtymologyEdit Etymology sectionEdit
The term "Nora" is said to be a play on the Japanese word "Ò°Á¼Ã¨" ("noraneko"), meaning "stray cat". This theme is evident in some of the jewelry sported by the cast, including Snow's necklace and Serah's earrings (which both have cats pictured on them). In the English version, NORA stands for "No Obligation, Rules, or Authority".
