Typically, it's generally agreed that (with the exception of those three guys from episode 3, the shopkeep, and that guy from class in episode 9) everyone that has a character model will be important.

But, I don't get that here. I see it as the team at RT trying to break out of their "to hell with the background characters, they shall be silhouettes" style and trying to actually put people there.

Unfortunately, the effort of recoloring and redesigning nora's model probably resulted in the awful running animation for this episode so hopefully they never do it again... sorry, got carried away there.

Bottom line, don't think too far into it, bue-haired nora is probably just a non-blacked-out background character who still maintains the same level of importance as her blacked-out counterparts. (That is too say, none)
