**Nova Starscope** (Japanese: **大空星使** *Oozora Amane*) is one of the main characters of the present-day arcs of *Magicae Amicitie et Harmoniae*. She is a mysterious girl who is very cheerful and exciteable and *extremely* energetic.

Eventually in the last few chapters of EM, it is revealed that Nova is Katrina's Light of Hope in her heart that left her body on its own and took a human disguise before she was brainwashed to prevent Queen Vera from getting her hands on it. After the final battle with Event Horizon and her being freed, Nova disappears, resumes her true form, and returns to where she belongs inside Katrina.

In the rewritten timeline, after Katrina was freed, Nova becomes separate from the Light of Hope thanks to Melody's wish and is fully human so she can be with her friends forever.

## Bio

### Appearance

Nova appears as a teenage girl who has rose pink eyes and wavy waist-length pink hair partially tied in a ponytail. Her Harmony Mark is a diagonal-slanted sun with three rays on each side, two stars, and a pale blue cloud at the right. As a civilian...

* Her outfit from *Madoka Magica* to *Dawn Magica* consists of a magenta shirt with a light pink collar, a light blue/periwinkle skirt, and purple sneakers with white stockings.
* (WIP for the other outfits)
* As a real human in the series finale, she is seen wearing a light pink tank top, dull sky blue bell-bottomed jeans with hot pink pockets, and dark purple flats with white socks.

She has had multiple versions of her outfit as a **magical girl**. In each version, (???), though it is known that she has fairy wings and that her hair turns light pink and becomes a pair of heart-shaped odango buns combined with long pigtails.

* Her starting outfit consists of (???).
* After getting Stage 3, (???).

In her **Elemaximum** form, (???).

In her **Stage 5** form, (???)

In her **Rainbow Power** form, (???)

When achieving **Harmony Mark** magic, (???)

### Personality

Nova is extremely energetic, sweet, bubbly, and a bit childish. She is easily excited, often runs around and is oblivious to her surroundings, and gets fascinated by new stuff easily due to not having been in the human world for very long (despite her knowing what she is). She also is very naiive and easily duped, though she cares deeply for her friends. Nova also loves eating sweets, especially muffins, and adores anything cute and pink (even carrying around a pink Sylveon plushie and owning a Buneary, Garnet, who she created herself using the LoH).

Even though magic and the supernatural are all public knowledge, and her identity as a magical girl is public knowledge, Nova still keeps her true nature secret from *everycreature* (including the other Magis) not to keep civilians ignorant, but since she knows that if her true nature was found out, it would cause a media frenzy that would end up spreading the word to Queen Vera and result in her capturing her.

### Relationships

* **Madoka Kaname**: Nova's best friend who she lives with when the group is not traveling, although Madoka and the others have no idea who Nova really is. Once Madoka gets revived after the final battle with Event Horizon, she cries and begs Nova not to go, but she assures her she'll always be with her. Nova often habitually (and comically) refers to Junko and Tomohisa as "Mrs. Mom" and "Mr. Dad," which they find weird but don't seem to mi d.
* **Abigail Rosa Mercia**: Nova's other best friend. Abigail is also the only one who Nova exempts from her hypnosis and thus is the only one who knows that she has Katrina's Dream Pixies, though she still doesn't know *why*.
* **Melody Harmadale**: One of Nova's close friends besides Madoka. Nova even learned how to sing from Melody, and they both love girly and pink stuff. However, she still has to hypnotize her in order to protect herself.

### Etymology

* Her Japanese name **Amane** means "star messenger" while her Japanese surname **Oozora** means "big sky."

## Magical Abilities

Not much is currently known except that her magic is very strong (and when Jim tries to copy it, he ends up exploding and has to be repaired by Ellie) as she is the disguised form of the amount of the Light of Hope from Katrina's heart and mind, and that she has the ability to subtly hypnotize creatures, which she uses to make everycreature fail to recognize the obvious fact that she has Katrina's Dream Pixies. However, her full power is held back by the need to maintain her disguise for both her, the Magis', and Katrina's safety, and a spell accidentally casted on her physically prevents her from telling or messaging anycreature about Event Horizon's true identity unless they find this information out themselves. Her magic aura is medium pink in color.

Whenever she uses Connect with another Magi, she must hold back in order to avoid giving them an extremely massive amount of power. However, as shown after the reveal, she can lessen her restraint and provide a huge amount of power if she so chooses, although despite the two Magis using Connect together, the villains still jump out of the way and retaliate.

## Magical Warrior

Nova is the Warrior of Beliefs. She is a Space/Light/Fairy Elemental who represents the Element of Hope, and her theme color is pink with a sub of purple and indigo. Her weapons are (TBA).

## Pokémon

* Buneary (nicknamed Garnet; partner Pokémon)

## Trivia

* She is similar to Chibi-Chibi from the 90s *Sailor Moon* anime. Like Chibi-Chibi, she also disappears from existence after Katrina is freed, as she turns back into the Light of Hope and returns to her heart and mind, though not before thanking her newly-revived friends and saying goodbye.
* Her name is coincidentally similar to Nina Starscout, since her creator wasn't even thinking of Nina when they came up with her name.
* She and Cynthia are the only Magis to not appear alive in the series finale. While the latter was erased from existence, the former simply returned to her rightful place.
* Her favorite food is muffins.
* Despite physically existing as Nova, her true identity also exists elsewhere inside everycreature like normal. This is most likely due to her being a relatively small amount specifically from Katrina (yet said small amount is also part of said force). How this works is something that humans, creatures, and Pokémon simply cannot comprehend.
* As a running gag, whenever somecreature annoys her, she throws her Sylveon plushie at them.
* Nova created her Power Necklace for herself. She does, however, get her Harmony Gem like normal after forming a contract with Kyubey.
* She lives with Madoka when the group is not traveling.
* After she returns to Katrina, her Buneary, Garnet, is now owned by Madoka. As a parting gift, she also gives her her Sylveon plushie in addition to giving her Garnet and creates light pink, hot pink, and blue hairclips respectively for Madoka, Abigail, and Elizabeth.
* Nova does not have a soul despite having a physical body, as shown in the CM3 chapter equivalent to "Team Plasma and the Awakening Ceremony!", where Ghetsis is unable to capture Nova (which is framed to the audience as her simply getting away in order to hide the real reason), in the arc finale equivalent to "The Hour of Doomsday" where she doesn't become a Shadow Magi because she doesn't have a soul to take (also being framed as her just conveniently escaping), and in "Destruction Around the Corner" where after Queen Vera and her minions kill all the Magis except Elizabeth by taking their souls, Nova is unaffected by the blast and it is finally revealed that she lacks a soul.
* Nova has the power to let Messiahs transform, though she hardly ever does this because it would be a dead giveaway. However, she herself is a Messiah and can't transform unless her phone and Power Necklace glow.
* In *Serena Magica*, she once gets so jealous that Serena got picked at tryouts to be a performer and she didn't that she witches out, sabotages the performance, and has the power to curse Princess Keys and make them drain the life force of anyone who wins one... which turns Serena and her Pokémon into zombies when she wins it and causes Victoria to possess Nanette's body (and she even forces Nanette to *flip the witch off* and bite her) just to spite her.
* In the equivalent chapter to "Battle For The Underground!", she calls Dr. Zager a "fat old Thundurus ripoff" and "Jimmy Neutron," the former possibly referencing the fact that he looks vaguely like a Thundurus. The latter, however, makes Jim *very* annoyed.
* At the end of the equivalent chapter to "The Cutie Map," Nova ends up getting Starlight Glimmer's song stuck in her head and constantly sings it... which ends up coming back to bite her in "The Re-Mark" when she accidentally sings the song right in front of Starlight.
* Oddly, she doesn't disappear when most of the Magis (including her) get thrown in Tenebrosus despite its anti-magic in the adaptation of "School Raze." This is in contrast to the adaptation of "Scare at the Litwick Mansion" where the Litwick draining the Magis' magic nearly causes her to disappear.
* Whenever she uses Connect, she has to restrain herself to avoid giving the Magi she uses it with way too much power and blowing her cover. This is the same in the equivalent chapter to "Securing the Future" where all the civilians of Alola, Pokémon, Magis, and Kyubey send their Light of Hope to help restore Necrozma before Lillie uses Connect with Solgaleo and Lunala - she has to hold back and send a normal amount like everyone else since sending a massive amount would give herself away.
* It is currently unknown if Nova will also transform for the first time in the chapter after the one where Sugar is born.
* According to her creator, Nova *is* heterosexual, but is homoromantic. To avoid spoiling her true nature, however, she strictly remains celibate and refuses to act on any feelings she may have for another.
* Due to the AoTA tampering with her, much like the Taisha, Nova doesn't remember who Event Horizon is or that she's her own host. This is possible due to her having a physical body despite also being made of magic at the same time.
* Her yukata in the equivalent of "The Ghost of Maiden's Peak" is hot pink with a lavender obi and patterned with white stars. It was originally going to have the kanji for "light" on it, but this was scrapped since it would be too obvious.
