Living on the streets, Nova Light was introduced to a harsh and ruthless world at an early age and was forced to learn to fight for her survival. Orphan, she was quick to use her agility and cunning tactics to get what she wanted even if it meant stealing or sneaking into houses at night. Her career as a pickpocket has brought her into many sticky situations, but thanks to her electric powers which she affectionately calls her ''tiny tasers" she can knock out opponents but she must use sparingly; although effective, the attack itself drains an enormous amount of her energy and renders her defenseless.

## Abilities

Overall, Nova has a great agility and excels at parkour which has allowed to outrun or escape many tricky situations all the while avoiding getting caught by the angry civilians she's robbed. Although she is part wolf, her senses are only slightly enhanced, but only became sharper with months of practice. Due to her life as a street rat, Nova developed sharp reflexes and is quick to take action, but she tends to forget to think before talking. Her lighting powers' main weakness is earth, considering it completely cancels out her discharge, something she unfortunately learned the hard way.

Her long tail serves as both a balancer and a prehensile limb to grab objects or distract people. Although since the young girl prefers to keep her animal features hidden, she usually tucks her ears and tail in her hood or shirt to keep from attracting attention.

When it comes to her electric abilities, Nova quickly learned to use them sparingly; due to the instable nature of her element, even a simple electrified sucker punch can cause her to black out as it almost completely drains her energy. More than once, she's also experienced strange outbursts of energy, mostly whenever she gets angry or nervous. Once they start, her hands begin to tremble with sparks of electricity and unless she calms down, a bolt of lightning shouts from her palm and burns anything it touches. Such instability is just on of the few reasons this street rat remains secluded from society, afraid she might one day end up killing someone close to her.

## Personality

At first sight, many considered Nova to be nothing more than a nuisance, considering they usually encounter her whenever she's trying to rob them. Due to her lack in social skill and interaction with society, Nova became completely secluded, preferring to use roof tops and alleyways to travel through ought the city. Despite her tough attitude, she's much more of a flyer than a fighter, especially since she has intense hemophobia (fear of blood). The mere sight of it can cause her to vomit, or even faint. She prefers to avoid fighting at all costs but cover her eyes with her bandanna and uses her other senses if ever she finds herself obligated to fight and draw blood.

It takes time for the young girl to trust people, and considering her difficult past and the world she's grown in, who could blame her? But if one manages to gain her trust, they will discover a truly kind and loyal friend, who'd stop at nothing to see the one she cares for safe. Even though she may act tough and careless, deep down, she's a simple girl who was born in the wrong side of town.

## Early life

Born in an Orphanage, Nova was adopted by a group of scientist who thrived to discover and research the effects of possessing two elements. Due to her incredible agility gained by her natural wolf blood, Nova was considered a perfect candidate. She was injected a small portion of electric element and did incredibly well during her training, showing promising results. As the months went on, Nova perfected her training but was never completely satisfied; she always craved for more. So the scientist she once called family decided to take a step further and injected her with a new, experimental element. But at last, her limits were pushed; her electric element became unstable once mixed with this new element and caused a massive outburst of energy, followed by a black out. Completely drained and heavily injured, Nova suffered complete amnesia and lost 55% of her powers all the while the facility went into total chaos.

To this day, Nova has no recollection of her memories and nothing but her unusual powers, a blind eye and fragments of her past left.

## Story arc

Even though she's suffered major amnesia from her injuries, Nova began recovering parts of her memories mostly through "déjà vue" moments. At first, she preferred to ignore such episodes but gradually became more obsessed as the flashbacks of the same moments became more and more frequent. Soon, Nova began to roam from town to town, in hopes she could find answers about her past and origins but her search ended fruitless to this day.

Yet, she refuses to loose hope and continues her search which so far has brought her to a popular brewery "The Basement Bar". At first, she only managed to catch the attention of a certain mob lawyer named Dreayth and a warning from the Basement bar's owner, Zer0. To her surprise, the blue hair bartender was able to subdue her powers which caught her interest and lead her to seek out his help, in hopes she could learn to properly control her powers, all the while find out more about her forgotten past.

Little did she know, she too was now in the line of sight of Dreayth who so happened to also be part of the Mafia. While the girl managed to seek out Zer0 and receive his help, the mod lawyer was able to find a very particular doctor, Zackarie to help him capture Nova. Their goal; discovering why she was able to survive her elemental injection and sell such discovery to a potential buyer.
