Ability:
Nova is the Elemental Witch, whose dominant Element is Fire. Also called pyrokinesis, agnikinesis, or fire manipulation, she can control and generate all aspects of the energy form, and even shape it into objects she needs, such as a weapon, a shield, or a wall. Nova can also control the temperature of the fire, from an orange flame to a white hot flame, and the flames are affected by the elements around her, such as hydrogen, copper, or lithium. This changes the colour of the flames. Unfortunately, the use of the flames burns her, and she is not immune to fire or smoke - using her ability will harm her. Losing control of her power unconsciously is also a huge problem, as it burns her and can destroy her surroundings with ease. However, Nova is resistant to fire - it will not burn her as much as it may burn others.

Distinctive Marks:
Nova has no tattoos or piercings, but she has several scars. Her hands are scarred from burns, where she has used her power, and she has a scar just above her hairline on her left side, where she fell through a window and cut her head badly.
Appearance:
Nova is a slim and elegant girl, who carries herself with a regal quality and an air of importance. She is tanned, unlike the rest of her family, and has blonde hair. She is not curvy at all, which she doesn't mind at all, and has little to no muscle on her. Her neck is long and her head is held high, and she often accentuates this by adding a necklace or scarf to her outfits, which suit her very well. She is toned and holds herself straight and tall, and she could be described as tall, due to long limbs. Her fingers are long, and her knuckles prominent, something Nova detests.
Nova has a heart-shaped face, which is slightly rounded in the cheeks. Her eyebrows are full, are rarely plucked or shaped, and are darker than the rest of her hair. Her eyes are almond shaped, and are almost always ringed with mascara. She never wears makeup, apart from mascara. Her nose is small, but lacks definition in the bridge, but is flat and smooth. The tip of her nose is angled slightly downwards. Her lips are full, and her Cupid's Bow is distinctive, but she doesn't have too much in the way of definition.
November's hair is very long, reaching to just above her belly button. The ends of her hair are slightly split-ended, and need the occasional trim. She has a long side fringe, which sweeps across her forehead lightly and mixes in with her other hair, although it is obvious it is there as it is a lot shorter than the rest of her hair. It constantly blows in from of her eyes and she is constantly brushing it out of her face.
November's clothing style is very loose, and often in pastel colours such as white, cream, or beige. She prefers skinny jeans and a t-shirt to skirts, although she may pair things with light cardigans. She almost always wears some sort of glove to cover her hands, and hates wearing high heels. Sometimes, in summer, she wears sundresses, but may pair it with converse. She never wears sandals or extremely clothes, and never under-dresses or shows too much skin. Nova almost always wears her hair down, but sometimes it is twisted into an elegant, but messy, bun or even braided.
Personality:
{Friendly, self-respecting, shy, protective, fiery, intelligent}
Nova is an incredibly friendly, kind-hearted, and sweet young woman. However, it's almost impossible to get her to talk to you. Her social anxiety often cripples her and prevents her from speaking out, but once she decides to trust you, she's reliable, loyal, and anything you could want in a friend. She often gets uncomfortable in those first few days of knowing someone new, and this is often given away by her habit of fiddling. Whether it's twiddling her thumbs or the hem of her shirt, it is quite obvious if she is uncomfortable.
Although Nova is protective, loyal, and a complete sweetheart towards her friends, she is not afraid to say no. She is self-respecting and does not have a problem with saying what she feels is right. She does not tolerate being used by anyone, and she will quickly make it known if she feels that way. If it isn't fair, it's a no-brainer to her. The same goes in relationships.
Nova, by nature, is a fiery spirit. She often finds it difficult to keep her anger under control, and in combination with her protective nature, arguments can often start, and she can come off as over-protective. However, people who are close to her know that if they tell her to lay off, she will back down, although she may still be fuming for hours afterwards.
November is a very intelligent and cunning young woman, and enjoys a good sense of humour. She enjoys telling jokes to cheer others up, and sometimes even practical jokes on her Coven members. However, it is more likely that she will use her head to help solve a problem than tell a joke or think up a prank to pull.
History:
November was born to Cassandra and Robert Mortlake, on the 16th of November. She has three siblings - Frieda, who is married, Frederick, her twin brother, and her younger sister, Hollie. November and Frederick are fraternal twins, and are extremely close. When November was four years old, her sister Frieda got married, and left the family home in California to move to North Dakota. Although November misses her sister, it didn't really affect her life much.
When she was 5, November's family moved to Salem, Oregon. Here, her happiest memories are playing in the snow with her brother. Nova remembers this fondly, and it brought her and her brother together. Behind the family home, Fred and Nova often explored the woods. Here, they discovered many adventures, and the places they explored often become the subject of her drawings.
When November was 6, she was involved in a freak accident involving a window. The two were playing, when Frederick suddenly got angry at her. A heated argument started between the two, and suddenly Nova found herself lying outside on the grass, blood pouring from her head. Frederick had gotten so angry he had pushed her away from the toy he had wanted, but he had pushed Nova so hard she had gone through the window behind her, cutting her head on the glass, leaving her with a scar along her hairline. This caused the pair to be separated, and constantly supervised while together, which caused a huge blow to their friendship for a while.
When November was fifeen, she went up to the attic, where she was forbidden to go. She often went up there to try and decipher what was hidden behind the large wooden door, but was never successful. However, one time, she found the door ajar, and decided to go inside. She found hidden artifacts galore, including ancient talismans, books covered in dust, and jewels of immense beauty. However, Nova pulled one one wrong book, causing the whole bookcase to hit her and knock her unconscious. Unfortunately, this is when her abilities decided to make themselves known. Everything in the attic was flammable, from the wooden floor, to the paper books, and the whole room was quickly aflame. Nova lay there, horribly burned and slowly being crushed by a bookcase, for possibly several hours, when her father Robert burst in. He removed the burning bookcase from Nova's body, and carried her out of the house, badly burned and dying from carbon monoxide poisoning. Nova awoke to see her father's body next to her. She spent the next several weeks in hospital, healing from the burns, but only Frederick ever came to see her. Her mother thought that she was dangerous, and not human, and wouldn't allow Hollie anywhere near her sister. Frieda received the call that her father had died, but never visited Nova in hospital, nor attended his funeral. It was because her magical abilities had only truly began to show at fifteen that there was such a huge outburst, even though there had been signs of it happening before it did, such as temperature changes, or the fire in the fireplace bending towards her.
It wasn't long after that Nova ran away. Her mother would not go near her, and nor would Hollie. Frieda didn't seem to care anymore and Frederick was becoming more and more distant with his new girlfriend. November didn't feel wanted anymore, and she blamed herself for her father's death. On top of that, she had absolutely no recollection of what had happened, and after months of being questioned by her family and the police, Nova had had enough. She packed her bags and left, taking only a picture of her family, some food, a water bottle, and a few spare clothes. She left a note explaining that she wouldn't be back, and to try and forget her. She lived in the woods for a while, keeping an eye on the family, and watching them settle down to life without her. After that, she left, and didn't look back.
After a few weeks of living wild, she discovered a camp of women, all huddled around a fire. Although she urged it not to, the flames bent towards her, as if there was an invisible wind, before spitting sparks high into the air. She soon found herself staring into the eyes of the women, and began stuttering an explanation, before discovering that they, too, were witches like herself. Glad to find someone else that understood what was happening to her, she stayed the night with them, telling stories using the flames, and making them dance. The next day, she went to Cherry Blossom with them. She settled into her new life there, starting at school, and getting a job as a coffee barista. She doesn't regret her decision, and loves her Coven with all her heart.
