Description: Nova isn't like the mermaids you've seen in Disney (and possibly other) movies. She's more fish than human, having scales on her body and a greenish-blue complexion with dark black eyes. Her teeth are sharp and she has gills on the sides of her neck and torso in order to help her breathe. She also has fins on the side of her head in replacement of ears. Even her hair has the look and texture of a fish's fin, being a dark green color. Already having gills to breathe, Nova doesn't have a nose. Her eyes are a deep black color and seem as if they can stare right into your soul. She has sharp claws for nails and webbing in between her fingers to make swimming easier. Her tail is a dark green color and she wears a green bikini top to cover her chest.

However, she does resemble a human for the most part when she's on land. The fin that resembles hair in the water turns to actual hair on land and she adopts more human-like features in terms of skin color and having a nose and ears. Her tail turns to a long green skirt with a slit on the side and she continues to wear a bikini top. Her eyes and hair still retain their coloring. Though, she can't really stay in the form for long. As soon as she is up on land, she only has a few hours before she has to go back into saltwater or she'll run the risk of dying.

Personality-wise, Nova is a very aggressive and reclusive, yet also inquisitive individual. She likes to have her space and hates when people become nosy and try to pry into her personal life, though she ironically loves to ask questions about things and people she finds interesting. She often bottles up her emotions as well until she just can't handle it anymore and explodes, sometimes taking it out on people who are the closest to her. This has caused many people to push her away as a result. She can also be quite spiteful as well, often doing petty things if she can't get her way.

Biography: Nova's life has never been all sunshine and rainbows. Her mother left just a few weeks after Nova was born, leaving her father to have to raise the child on his own. He wasn't a terrible parent, but Nova was certainly a problematic child. Seeing other children with whole families had made her quite upset that she didn't have a mother and as a result, she became quite jealous of the other kids and angry towards herself and her father for not being able to keep her mother from leaving. She often got into fights at school with other kids by making taunts towards them and would then blow up at her father later on. Once she hit eighteen, she had started sneaking out of the house and sleeping around, getting into alcohol along the way.

However, deep down, Nova was really just hurt and sex and alcohol were ways that she could get rid of the guilt and pain she felt. She was angry at herself for the way she acted towards her father and others, but at the same time, it was like she couldn't stop herself from running her mouth and getting into fights. However, she did clean up her act slightly once she turned twenty one. She had met who she thought was a nice guy and ended up getting into a relationship with him, even moving in with him eventually. However, soon after she moved in, things would take a turn for the worse.

Once Nova had moved in, her boyfriend had slowly started to get more possessive of her, trying to monitor what she was doing and who she was talking to at all times. This often led to fights between the two which often turned physical on both ends whenever Nova confronted him about what he was doing, one of which resulted in Nova getting the scar she had on her back. This went on for months before Nova just couldn't take it any longer and moved out, simply finding a cheap place to live. Now, she's slowly fallen back into her old habits of drinking and sleeping around, trying to forget her pains, though she also wants to be able to kick those habits for good.
