Nova Santiago

Nova Santiago is the main protagonist and narrator of the Santiago Diaries series. She is an introverted teenager who prefers solitude over popularity. 
== Personality ==
Nova is an introverted and awkward teen that has social anxiety. She often tries to stray away from popularity due to her shy manner. Despite her reserved, timid, and quiet demeanor, she still knows how to stand up for herself and her friends, due to getting used to Roxanne's behavior. 
Due to her shyness, Nova often has trouble keeping up a conversation, as she explains that Dean is easy to talk to because she won't "have a seizure from trying to come up with something to say".

=== Physical Traits ===
Nova is a slender human girl with pale freckled skin, long light blonde hair in various hairstyles, usually a low ponytail, and dark brown eyes. 
=== Style ===
Nova's outfit varies throughout the series, though her usual style consists of comfy casual clothing. She usually wears clothing that doesn't attract attention to herself. She doesn't mind wearing bits of makeup on occasion, as long as someone offers to do it for her. 
== Relationships ==
=== Family ===
Nova loves her family, but the relative she's most closest to is her twin brother Pedro. She describes Pedro as her "familial best friend", and does everything with him. 
She's not as close to Roxanne and Toby as she is to Pedro, and is usually annoyed with Roxanne's snobbishness or Toby's recklessness. Nevertheless, she loves them both. 
She is often close to her mother, and feels like she can tell her anything and admit her social anxiety. 
Nova, however, is not open to Wilson, her mom's boyfriend, because of how close her and her father were. Nova loved her father and was ultimately depressed after his death. Since Wilson started dating her mother, Nova hasn't really liked him, though Wilson has no negative qualities. 
Overtime, Nova eventually grew warm towards Wilson and finally accepted him as a stepfather. 
=== Friends ===
Nova's closest friends are Talia, Clara, and Anya, who is her best friend. Nova admits that those three are her only friends and she is content with them. Later on, after she meets Dean, she becomes friends with the members of the Improv Club, except for Gretchen. 
=== Enemies ===
Nova is enemies with April Patterson, the most popular girl at Riverwood County, and April's BFF Dahlia. Though Nova didn't intend to start a rivalry with April, after causing them to lose in a volleyball scrimmage, April suddenly started hating her and believes she is trying to steal her popularity from her and teases her. She soon believes that April just has a petty one-sided rivalry with her. 
Nova also doesn't seem to get along with Gretchen, due to her arrogant behavior. She also thinks Gretchen is worse than April because of how she manipulates and scolds Dean around when he is feeling sad or nervous. Nova was finally relieved when Gretchen got expelled from Riverwood County. 
=== Romance ===
Nova has a crush on Dean McQueen. She often likes his optimistic behavior and the way he talks a lot so she doesn't have too.
