Appearance:
Nova is a strange creature to behold. Her eyes are a startling burst of blue against the almost albino color of her skin. The darkest part of her features is the faint dusting of freckles over her cheekbones and nose. Her hair is a startling snow white in color, and falls just past her shoulders in straight, soft locks. Her eyes are large and owlish, and her face is softly heart shaped. When standing straight she only comes to five foot three inches, and when on a scale she only weighs around one hundred and thirteen pounds. In short; Nova is delicate.
Fears:
! Aichmophobia [Fear of needles]
! Apiphobia [Fear of bees]
! Teratophobia- [Fear of monsters or deformed people]

Personality:
Nova is an extremely bright and caring young woman. She will almost always go out of her way to help anyone in need. This could be considered a weakness of hers, as she is often giving more than she should be. Because she is extremely caring, she gets herself hurt or into trouble. Nova is a ‘glass half full’ kind of girl, and enjoys life. She loves sunlight almost more than she loves reading. She is not an outgoing person, rather, she is very shy, but accepting. However, with that said, Nova does not have that many friends. Sadly, most of them moved away to college when she chose to stay and work her grandmother’s shop. It wasn't long after she turned fifteen that she was captured and put into the cell she now calls home.
Nova is terrible at lying, and not very good at being sneaky either. On the other hand, she is very good at keeping secrets... Then again, who would she tell? She loves animals, particularly birds, because her mother used to call her ‘little bird’. Robins and Blue Jays are her favorites. She secretly writes in a diary, religiously, every night. She’s a huge, huge scardie cat. Ghost stories and midnight walks are most certainly not for Nova. I mean, the girl sleeps with all of her limbs tucked under the covers for fear of a demon grabbing them if one dangles off...
History:
Nova grew up like every other normal girl, until she turned eleven. Both of her parents were lost to her in a plane crash. Too young to fully understand, she was moved to her grandmother’s home in a small town named Heathcrow. She walked into her sixth grade classroom as the odd orphan girl who moved to town. She was forced to stand at the front of the classroom and introduce herself. At eleven, she was all knees and elbows, with hair down to her waist and half pulled into her face. She looked like an ugly duckling. She mumbled an instruction for herself, her voice quiet and shy, “I’m Nova Annabelle Swann… I… I just moved here. I live with my grandmother.” At the time, she felt as if the teacher had made her stand there for hours. Once she was finally told to sit down, she was faced with another terror. Where to sit?
Then, as if sent from above, a beautiful angel raised her hand and waved. “Sit next to me!” the angelic voice called. Nova meekly made her way over to the girl, and sat next to her. “Hi, Nova, I’m Lily. Lily Fawun.” Nova felt a blush hot in her cheeks as she looked to the beautiful blonde she was sitting beside. “Want some gum?” Nova knew then that they would be the very best of friends.
A few years later, when Nova was fifteen she was still best friends with the lovely Lily Fawun. Nova took over her grandmother’s flower shop and lived in a house with Lily and her dad in the town. When Nova is not in her own shop, she’s visiting with Lily in the library or sweet talking Lily into a night on the town. Nova wasn't shy anymore, and she was no longer the awkward orphan. She was known as the cheery, and oddly beautiful, girl in the flower shop, just off main street. For a couple of months, life was blissful. Then They came. They took Lily first, because Lily wasn't like other girls. She was different. Special. Driven mad by guilt, Lily's father shot himself; leaving Nova alone in the world. She was forced to move back in with her grandmother, but it wasn't long before her own oddities were too much. Her grandmother, being afraid of her granddaughter's strange abilities, turned her into the authorities and Nova never saw her again. For years she was mad, but over time, she grew to forgive her grandmother. She understood what it meant to be afraid, to not understand something.
(Small doses of the mutant were put into the towns water supply to see who would react to it. Those who started to develop abilities were taken to The Institute for further exposure and experimentation.)

Powers & Weaknesses
☀ Neutralize. Nova can neutralize the powers of anyone she touches, or, if she is concentrating, anyone around her up to ten feet away. The range started with only touch, but as the scientists used her ability to contain more and more gifted around her, the range grew. Now, her DNA is harvested regularly, in a desperate attempt to form a "Plan B" weapon, should the 'gifted' they have created ever decide to turn on them. Luckily (for everyone but Nova) all of the experiments to use her DNA to form said weapon have failed. Sadly, for Nova, this means more testing. She does have control of this ability, it is her 'mastered' ability, through years of practice with the scientists commanding her to turn it on and off during experimentation.
☁ Healing touch. Nova has the ability to heal any living thing she touches, including animals, plants and humans. Larger injuries require more energy, and using her ability repeatedly for large heals in a short amount of time has led to side effects such as; nosebleeds, dizziness, blackouts, and vomiting.
☔ Psychometry ["Object reading"]. Nova can pick up on psychic impressions, or vibrations, left on an object by someone connected with it. For example, she could touch an unfamiliar object, and said object would reveal details about its owner such as what they had for breakfast, their last telephone call, where they were going when they touched the object or what they were doing, a secret no one knows about, or evens that happened around the person at a time that they had been near or touched the object. The ability works best with personal belongings, or things that have deep meaning to the person. While getting a reading Nova cannot move, see or hear what is happening around her. She cannot turn this ability off, and so she constantly wears a pair of white leather gloves. When she does not have her gloves on, the information of objects come and go without her permission. She has no control over what will, and what will not, give her a reading.
