*You're right, it's not a big deal. Especially not to me, who's already dead.*
—Nova in Expiration Date (part 2)
**Emily Black** (originally **Elizabeth Black**), currently known as **Nova**, is a main character on Matt Say Yay. Once a sad human living in an orphanage, she met Tyrant one Halloween night and befriended him. Unfortunately, he snapped and killed her by hanging her on a tree. However, her soul merged with a Teru Teru Bozu doll, becoming a vengeful and angsty red ghost. Prior to its cancellation, she was set to be the true main antagonist of UltraZilla.

She is labeled **The Vengeful Ghost**.

## Personality

As a human, Emily was very timid and depressed. The loss of her parents took a toll on her, which left her friendless and desperate for friendship.

However, after losing her life to Tyrant, whom she trusted as her only friend, Nova became a vengeful ghost who sought to kill Tyrant, no matter what. This psyche was likely also a result of her merging with the teru teru bozu doll. However, when she's not planning that, Nova is usually more angsty, usually getting irritated by the most simple things. So much so that Doragory has even called her a tsundere.

## Role in Matt Say Yay

Due to her role in UltraZilla being very big and tied to lore, Nova never got a lot of appearances in Ultra Shorts. However, following the transition to Ultra Shorts, Nova, while still resenting Tyrant, strangely isn't as hateful towards him (likely due to the flimsy canon in Ultra Shorts). Nova has also developed a more aggressive and resentful personality, and is usually seen to be/tries to be creepy in her own way.

## Trivia

* Nova's origin story is based on Charlotte Emily/the Puppet's origin story from Five Nights at Freddy's, with a few hints of Elizabeth Afton/Circus Baby's origin story.
	+ Nova's original human name was Elizabeth and her current name is Emily, however, her design and name also suggests she was based on Emily Elizabeth Howard from Clifford, The Big Red Dog. Additionally, there exists a Clifford creepypasta where Emily is seen hanging, similar to Nova's human death.
* While Nova's human name retcon was not announced on the channel, it was announced in other websites Matt is on, such as Wikitubia and the Death Battle Wiki.
* Nova's figurine has a slight purple/pink coloring in her eyes. This custom job was provided by Matt.
	+ This feature was carried over to the comics.
* In the comics, Nova's neck wrapping is colored black.
* She was listed "Kaiju of the Week" in Mikasa's Mistake.
	+ This is ironic, as Nova does not actually fully identify as a kaiju.
* Her human design sees her having bright blonde hair and blue eyes. In later designs, her hair is only blonde at the tips while her roots onwards are magenta, suggesting that her hair grew out as magenta the longer she stayed a ghost. Her hair is also cut shorter and is more unkempt. Her eyes are also now completely black with a pink pupil, similar to her ghost form's eyes, but human shaped.
* Her father and most of her past is left unknown. However, it is heavily implied that her father was the Black Directive, the final antagonist from Ultraman Leo and Nova's master in the original source material.
