Nova Starscope/Tropes

Tropes that apply to Nova Starscope, written as if it were a TV Tropes page.

## Characterization and background

* **God in Human Form**: A variation. The LoH is not a god or deity, but she *is* a "sample" of it from a person disguised as a human.
* **Genki Girl**: Nova is *very* energetic and often squeals in excitement when something exciting happens or if she encounters something cute.
* **Girly-Girl**: *Definitely*. She loves anything adorable or pink.
* **Affectionate Nickname**: Madoka and Elizabeth usually call her "Novie-chan."
* **Child-Like Voice**: Her voice is rather high-pitched, which represents her joyful and somewhat childish nature.
* **All Girls Like Ponies**: In the third chapter of *Madoka Magica*, she gets extremely excited after meeting the ponies, especially Pinkie Pie.
* **Meaningful Name**: Her Japanese name means "big sky star messenger," and her English dub name relates to Katrina's supernova motif.
* **Sweet Tooth**: She loves sweets, especially muffins, which are her Trademark Favorite Food.
* **Expy**: Of Chibi-Chibi from the 90s *Sailor Moon* anime.
* **Beware the Nice Ones**: She's normally joyful, friendly, and happy, but she won't be nice to anycreature who harms her friends.
* **Humanity Ensues**: In the rewritten timeline, after she returns to her host, Melody makes her wish afterwards, unlike in the original timeline. This wish is to bring Nova back to life and make her a separate entity from the Light of Hope, so Katrina can still have her Light of Hope and Nova can be a real human and be with her friends forever.
* **In The End, You Are On Your Own**: After all the other Magis and Pokémon and the Incubators and the Perservers are killed in "Destruction Around the Corner," she and Elizabeth are the only Magis left, while their Pokémon flee to the Cerise Lab, though the Taisha try to help them as best they can. At the end of the next chapter, the Taisha end up surrendering and are brainwashed, and in the chapter after *that*, the priests end up dying. Luckily, they all get revived after Katrina is finally freed.
* **Nice Girl**: Nova is very nice and friendly most of the time.
* **Kiddie Kid**: She is sometimes a bit childish or immature.
* **Mind Screw**: The Light of Hope still exists as normal despite also being in the form of Nova, since she is a small amount from one person... yet said small amount is *part of the whole force*. She is also a Messiah and essentially requires herself to transform. She also has a physical body despite being made of magic.
* **Wingding Eyes**: Her eyes sometimes turn to hearts whenever she sees something exciting or sees pastries.
* **But Now I Must Go**: She has to leave to return to her purpose as the Light of Hope in Katrina. Luckily, in the rewritten timeline, she becomes separate from it.
* **Same Voice Actor**: Nova has the same voice actress as the Light of Hope does when speaking. In her case, however, her voice sounds higher-pitched and more like an actual person, rather than an ethereal feminine voice.
* **Selfless Wish**: A quite bizarre one. Her wish is for it to rain edible rainbow sherbet ice cream in Mitakihara at noon for one hour every October 3rd (which is Madoka's birthday).
* **Abstract Apotheosis**: She returns to her true form in "Freeing the Most Powerful Puella Magi," and states that she will never truly be gone as her true form exists everywhere in everycreature, saying that "so as [her] true form, [she] can be everywhere at any time."
* **No Biological Sex**: Obviously, being magic, the Light of Hope has no gender, but in its disguise, Nova presents as female and uses feminine pronouns since using "it" to refer to her would be very rude. The reason she is obsessed with pink and is extremely feminine, however, is because since her real form has no gender, she doesn't really know how to act like a female except in the most stereotypical manner possible.
* **Beware the Silly Ones**: Is sometimes hyper, silly, and somewhat childish, but she would do absolutely ***ANYTHING*** to protect her friends, which is best shown near the end of *Cherry Magica 3* where instead of getting extremely furious at all the other Magis getting Shadowified and willing herself to transform, she regains her ability to transform simply from her extreme shock and devastatton.
* **A Form You Are Comfortable With**: Nova is, essentially, a puppet used by the Light of Hope (via a "sample" from one person) to interact with the physical world using a human disguise, though her body is somehow also a physical body.

## Appearance

* **Pink Means Feminine**: Her theme color is pink, and she is extremely girly.
* **Rapunzel Hair**: She has wavy hot pink hair that reaches her waist.
* **Combat Stilettos**: As a magical girl, she has pink high heels with white wings on the sides.

## Abilities

* **Reality Warper**: Naturally, as she is the Light of Hope, she possesses all of its abilities, even the ability to allow Messiahs to transform.
* **Power Limiter**: A psychological one. She is hardly ever able to use her powers due to the need to keep up her disguise to prevent Queen Vera from knowing and thus capturing her.
* **Space Master**: She is partly a Space Elemental.
* **Kung-Fu Divinity**: Nova may be super girly and a bit childish, but she ***IS*** the Light of Hope from someone... and she can still kick your rear in the form of a magical girl. That is... when she's needed to transform.
* **Oxymoronic Being**: Her body is fully physical despite also being made of magic. If somecreature touches her, she feels just like any other human.

## Relationships

* **Heterosexual Life-Partners**: With Madoka, and as an interspecies example, Garnet.
* **Pals with the Divinity**: Melody has absolutely no idea that one of her close friends *is the Light of Hope*, which *created* her. However, in the rewritten timeline, she wishes for her to be her own person and an actual human after she had returned to her host.
