Nova

**Nova** is the main character you play as in the book W: Time Catcher.

Her first name can be changed at the beginning of the story or it can stay her default name. You can choose her appearance between two body shapes and four different ethnic features. And this is the first book where you can choose colored contact lenses for your main character.

Most choices you make for this character influence one of the following variables: **Sun Emissary** ☀️ (gentle and emotional) or **Moon Heiress** 🌙 (composure and restraint). Your choices can also influence **Status** 📜 (respect and privileges) and **Power of Presence** ⌛️ (magical abilities). These choices change the story, the interactions you have with other characters and the scenes you will be able to play.

## About Nova

**Nova** is a witch who lived in the shadows but finds her way into the magical community at the beginning of the book after being caught by the Magisterium of Preternatural Affairs for stealing. She is an uninitiated witch, so she doesn't have a brand. Nova chose this path to blend and not attract attention - until now, at least.

She is a time catcher, that means she has an ability to break through veils time - as for now, only short periods. The state she enters when she looks into the past is called *fata morgana*. Nova has one of the extremely rare types of magic, and therefore it attracts the interest of those who become aware of it.

Although Presence usually manifests itself during adolescence, with Nova it was clear right away. Her parents didn't like having a witch daughter, since they were both Ordinary, but they didn't give her up to a shelter for Others, so she grew up with them.

As soon as she became old enough, she moved out to live on her own, but decide she’d rather not get marked – which is a consequence of the Initiation. So, Nova lived discreetly, somewhere between Others and Ordinaries. She didn’t know anyone from the magic community.

After Nova was fired of her work as an administrative employee at a museum, she tried to find a new job. She received several refusals for being a witch and after running out of money she lost her patience and decided to use Presence to steal. But it failed, and she ended up in the Vatican’s dungeons, where the story of this book begins.
