#### If you join her...

### Season 1

Or why you're so drawn to her?*

### Season 2

Will you be able to stand up to this threat and protect the special bond that's growing between you and Nova?*

## Route Summary

The Planned ending summary for the spin off was released after Lovestruck announced that it will be shutting down on March 31st 2022.

## Relationships

### MC (Human)

The human main character becomes Nova's first girlfriend in her route. Prior to this relationship, she had no experience with romance or sex, though she had theoretical knowledge. She does research into romantic and physical relationships as her relationship with MC develops. She can be shy, though not reluctant, with MC, and asks very earnest questions about what is expected of her and what she should expect in return. She grows more confident with time.

### Beta

Beta is Nova's brother. He was designed to have the most melee combat expertise and to be physically strongest. He was the first of Nova's siblings to attack her and the first to be swayed from his orders. He warms up to her more easily than Gamma.

### Gamma

Gamma is Nova's other sibling. They were designed to have the strongest psychic powers. They were more difficult to convince than Beta, but they eventually joined Nova against Dr. Xendalia. They have a more difficult time adjusting to being siblings than Nova and Beta. Gamma is nonbinary. Their niece Rayla refers to them as Theie Gamma.

### Rayla

Rayla is Nova's daughter with EMC. She was grown in a pod so Nova and MC would not have to be under physical strain during dangerous times. She grew rapidly, though that development began to slow over time. Her gestation period was very short, and she grew to the age of 16 in a matter of months. She was created with Beta and Gamma's idea that a child with such genetic makeup would be capable of defeating The Evil.

### Dr. Xendalia

Dr. Xendalia is a genetic engineer who created Project Nova. She is Nova, Beta, and Gamma's mother, but none of them really consider her such. She serves as an antagonist, and general nuisance, to her children and the Promise crew.

### The Evil

The Evil is an unidentified alien taking the form of large clouds of smoke-like energy. It is difficult to damage or restrain, except through Nova's psychic abilities. It grows stronger over time, and seems to be attracted to abilities like Nova's.

### Zhora Leonis

Zhora is a arms dealer who once designed weapons for the Empire. She took her designs and began selling them online to the general public. Her weapons were the only ones that could effectively combat The Evil, but so many in civilian hands was a danger itself. She was eventually convinced to cooperate with the Promise crew and shut down her website.

## Trivia

* When Nova is first introduced, she is an amnesiac. She has little memory of her life before joining the crew of The Promise. Her memories slowly return over the course of the series, but she still doesn't talk much about her past.
* Nova's birth name is Alpha. When she lost her memories, she got her name from the tattoo on her left shoulder. It is a reference to the Nova Project, under which she was designed. She identifies with and prefers the name Nova now.
* Despite the fact that Nova does not often outwardly show her emotions to others, she is actually quite sensitive. Having previously been trained to repress emotion, she is only now learning to process her feelings. She opens up to MC, gradually expressing herself much more.
* Nova has a very high intellect and can process information faster than any ordinary human. She can speed read while listening to audio books sped up and absorb information from both.
* Nova likes to learn about anything and everything. In her free time she can often be found doing research on the internet, reading books, and/or listening to audio books. Her most frequent topics of study seem to relate to combat, technology, and whatever else is relevant to the crew's current objective.
* After Nova joined the Starship crew she was introduced to an automatic coffee marker and absolutely loves it!
* Nova and Antares are the first LIs to have two separate routes with different MCs.
* She's an expert with a blaster.
* She can't remember anything from her past.
* She is very tactical, but has an adventurous streak.
* She collects mementos from new places she's been.
* She got her name from her tattoo.
* She doesn't easily express emotions.
* Her picture is shown throughout Havenfall is for Lovers whenever Grace's dorm room is shown, as Grace has a poster of her. Vanessa also owns a pillow of her chibi form that can be seen in her van.
