## Depiction In Pony Life

#### Meet Potion Nova!

At Sugarcube Corner, the Mane 6 are bored, lamenting that they mostly get into comedic situations instead of going on adventures like they used to, and are desperate for something exciting to happen. Just then, the unicorn from the end of Potion Mystery appears. She happens to be **Potion Nova** or **Nova** and reveals she is the one who restocks Pinkie's fridge with potions every night. However, her own potion supply has run dry, and she asks the Mane 6 to escort her safely to the Potion Ocean so she can replenish her supply.

Twilight Sparkle, having been excited to meet Nova and become her apprentice, jumps at this opportunity to go on an adventure. All throughout the journey to the Potion Ocean, she expects to run into multiple magical obstacles, but the journey is mostly mundane, with Nova saying not all magic has to be flashy and exciting. When the group finally reaches the Potion Ocean, Twilight appreciates its beauty.

When asked why she needed the Mane 6's help for such a harmless adventure, Nova admits that she simply needed help carrying her new supply of potions and that she enjoyed the ponies' company. She also decides to take Twilight on as her apprentice and Twilight is overjoyed.

#### Pony Surfin' Safari

Nova returns in Pony Surfin' Safari as the Mane 6 are on vacation at the Potion Ocean and Nova warns them to stay out of a magical part of the ocean called the Cute Triangle as it may result in being lost permanently. Wanting herself and her friends to do an activity as a group, Applejack tries desperately to get everyone to roast marshmallows together, even pulling them away from activities they would prefer doing instead. Nova tells Applejack not to worry about it.

The next morning, Applejack wakes her friends up early to go on a surfing safari together, but the others set off on their own as soon as they get on the water. Fed up, Applejack angrily tells her friends to stay together inside a formation of three rocks. This rock formation turns out to be the Cute Triangle, and its magic drags the Mane 6 underwater.

With the ponies unable to escape, Applejack apologizes to her for forcing group activities upon them. Using some of the objects around them and "some good old-fashioned friendship magic", the Mane 6 escape the Cute Triangle and return to the surface. A short while later, the Mane 6 and Nova roast marshmallows together, and Applejack tells Nova that she was right all along.

## Depiction In Equestria Girls

#### Crystal Prep High Rocks

Nova appears in Crystal Prep High Rocks in her human form as she sits in the rear seats of a 2014 Mercedes-Benz S550 (W222) driven by Princess Amber followed by Moondancer sitting next to Nova and Zooey sitting in the front passenger's seat, all wearing seatbelts. It is deemed that Sofia is now part of Crystal Prep Academy's Shadowbolts team. Given the fact that Zooey misses Sofia so much, she mentioned that Sofia moves to Staten Island, New York. Nova has decided to held a sleepover party at her house in Kansas City, Kansas, much to their joy.

Throughout the film, Nova teaches Sofia, Amber and Zooey how to play tennis in France, beach tennis in Portimão, Portugal, go on a river cruise in the Netherlands, horseback riding in Hungary and also climb up the Swiss alps in Switzerland.

#### The Journey Continues

Nova returns in The Journey Continues as she and Photo Finish picked up two stranded villagers: Ruby Hanshaw and Jade. Given the fact that the village foreigners are off to find Sofia, Nova drops them at Martin's Food Supermarket in Winchester, Virginia.

Nova later appears at the diner with Photo Finish, Coco Pommel and Moondancer as she introduces herself to Queen Miranda, Sofia's mom as Principal Cadance intervenes. Given the fact that Moondancer and Nova sit in the rear seats of Amber's W222 Mercedes-Benz S550 in the previous film, Miranda brings Moondancer, Nova, Photo Finish and Pommel to Indigo Zap's house where Sofia held a sleepover party together.

## Depiction In MLP: FIM x Jake and the Never Land Pirates

#### The Amber Crew's New Members

Nova makes her return in the MLP: FIM x Jake and the Never Land Pirates film series starting with The Amber Crew's New Members in which she is seen watching an audition made by the Amber Crew at David Hasselhoff's talent show. When she and Photo Finish watch that video together, the duo spotted two siblings with brown hair: a female playing the banjo and a male on both backing vocals and piano. The duo are also seen travelling to Ottawa, Canada with her Hyundai Equus following Jake, Izzy, Cubby, Jewel, Sofia and their children.
