== History ==
=== Birth ===
Nerva was born on June 21st, 2003, in Annecy, in the French Alps, to Robert and Marie Purgatorio. She was born simply as the heiress, her parents marriage being a political one, the only love uniting them being their love for power. She was born with only midwives to attend to her, with her father not even bothering to come to her birth, and her mother also leaving as soon as she was recovered. Being born for the chance of her unique and powerful abilities, she became the new hope of her family as soon as they sensed her magic.
=== Early Life ===
Nerva's childhood was spent in study and isolation. Being expected to become an important and influential witch, her training began at the age of 5. Raised to be the perfect lady, she studied language, art, literature, manners, politics and economics. Her parents were extremely strict, if she did not execute a task perfectly, she was to be punished, to be locked away in her room without any company. 
Due to this, and even then not being allowed outside the mansion, Nerva grew to be an extremely lonely child, with her only human contact being her tutors and occasionally her family. Instead of blaming her family, Nerva grew an inferiority complex, giving her the fear that if she wasn't good enough, that it was all her fault, that she would be abandoned and worthless.
Beginning to rapidly acclimate to her studies, mastering all the skills befitting a young lady, her future was looking up... until her powers began to manifest. While her parents were initially thrilled to know that she possessed exceptional magic, they became less so when they learned of her lack of ability. Her talents were not as powerful as they had hoped, and though she trained hard, and developed many other magical skills, her power of purgation, to control and banish magic, was more or less weak. 
They planned on abandoning her, simply marrying her off, and attempting to have another child, but the young Nerva bargained with them, saying that she would go to Lefebvre, that she would study and train, improve her magical ability, her social connections, and her intelligence and business skills, so that she would prove a worthy asset for them. 
They agreed, and so sent her off, with the promise that if she did not become one of the most exceptional witches in the country, then the rest of her entire life was to be dictated by them, that she would merely be their property, to use as they wished, and married off when they wanted, to whoever they wanted. 
=== Former Time at Lefebvre ===
==== First - Third Year ====
Nerva's time was relatively uneventful. She studied hard, was too socially inept to make friends, and mostly kept to herself. She forged a pact with Gaea, became a student nurse for her healing abilities, and watched the other, more popular, more powerful, students.

== Appearance ==
Nerva is a petite young woman, standing at 5'2, with pale skin, deep purple eyes, and long, dark brunette hair, which she wears half up, half down, the upper part of it tied back with a bow. She is more cute than attractive, with delicate features and more plain expressions. 
In Season One, her school attire consists of a plain, white, long sleeved blouse, tied with a bow, with a long grey flannel skirt, ending it with white knee socks and black mary jane shoes.
== Personality ==
Nerva is a serious, sensible girl, who is often seen concentrating on important tasks or studying. She is straightforward and calm, ignoring the opinions of others, and proceeding to her goal. She is very, very hardworking, working constantly on tending to patients in the clinic, or simply studying, and while she tells others to get sleep, and that it important for them, she has a tendency to ignore her own advice, going many sleepless nights due to this, and is often seen with bags under her eyes, and a lot of caffeine. 
She is also strict and orderly, a firm follower of the rules, complying to the wishes of authority and encouraging others to do the same. A disciplinarian, when she sees someone not paying attention in class, or actively breaking the rules, she will scold them. But, she possesses many maternal tendencies, and while she does lecture others, she also begins taking care of them, giving advice and helping them however she can, without any personal benefit to herself, and does so happily, going above and beyond what they expect for her to help with.
Another apparent factor of Nerva is her inferiority complex. When her achievements and talents are brought up in conversation, she will deny it by any means, constantly bringing herself down, laughing it off in a lot of cases. She is deferent to individuals with great magical ability. She constantly seeks others approval, and will overcompensate at every turn. Whenever she fails at something, she blames only herself,
