[hider=Written Description] Nova is a short, thin girl of Apache and English descent. Her hair is long, reaching to below her waist when not tied in a braid or ponytail, and is red-brown in color, while her eyes are a dark green-blue. Somewhat scrawny, it appears that Nova is very weak but in actuality is just strong enough to pull her own weight, however high it needs to go. Her skin is fair and tans easily, and her face is dotted with many freckles. She has a small scar on her cheek, just below her left eye, and it was given to her from a passing tree branch after a particularly bad fall. Normally wears rather loose clothing, as she hates to feel restrained, and is often without make up.[/hider] [center] [img]https://41.media.tumblr.com/51c87751b0f11b5dd2f1b90febc79c96/tumblr_n30fnc41f91t8j15go1_500.jpg[/img] [i]"I just wanna fly away."[/i][/center] --- [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/EwTUbWK.png[/img][/center] --- [center] [img=http://media.tumblr.com/0ff2eb9f7e6537a6fdeeebd4edb7c13e/tumblr_inline_mvoymq1gNb1rg5w1l.gif] [b]FULL NAME:[/b] Nolan "Nova" Parver [b]AGE:[/b] 17 [b]DATE OF BIRTH[/b] January 28th [b]YEAR[/b] Eleventh [b]BLOODLINE:[/b] Half-Blood [b]HOUSE:[/b] Solis [b]WAND:[/b] [url=http://acmewandsupply.com/images/2060_collage.jpg]Rosewood[/url] handle, Black Ironwood shaft, 12 3/4 inches, inflexible, Veela hair core, tipped with an elegant Rainbow Moonstone (added by Nova herself).

She is definitely free-spirited and quirky, finding that she hates to be held back by social and spiritual means, and is often found climbing trees or running rampant through natural grounds like a child. Nova is naive, often believing anything anyone says. This innocence probably comes from her parents, who kept her relatively sheltered in their cabin in the woods (if you define sheltered as: no talking to people but go ahead and wander alone outside in the wilderness it'll be fun). This sheltered life has also made her very curious towards things she would not normally see back home. When outside, Nova is very energetic, often keep an eye open for trees to climb and fields to roll in, making her very fit in terms of physical strength. She is also very mellow in terms of emotions, and has trouble feeling anything besides an innate sense of sleepiness. Because of her sheltered upbringing, Nova is rather shy around other people and has trouble keeping up with their ideals and differing personalities. Her demeanor and voice are often distant and dreamy, and Nova has a bad habit of drifting away from a conversation she does not find interesting. Blunt, Nova is rather bad at keeping her thoughts to herself, and this is another reason she is bad at making friends. However, if she were to make a few companions it would be obvious that they were in good hands, seeing as Nova is extremely loyal and protective over anyone who cares to be near her. Reckless, Nova rarely thinks before she acts, and barely feels fear in the moment that one should. Sure, she'll definitely be shaking afterwards, but during the time of action Nova is calm and courageous, if not a bit stupid, and will fight for what needs to be fought for. Oh, that should be another thing to point out, Nova's stupidity. While her physical and magical abilities are great her mental ones are lacking, very much so, and because of this she will ask plenty of idiotic and obvious questions. Surprisingly spiritual, from a young age Nova was pretty much convinced that magic was and always has been real, and even proved it by doing a few tricks herself. She apparently spoke to trees, saved herself from a few dangerous falls, and during her more temperamental phases, wrecked her entire room with one ear-splitting scream. Now a days, the girl rarely screams nor falls during tree-climbing sessions, but is still very enthralled with the aspect of speaking and being spiritually close to all forms of nature. She finds pleasure in small moments of complete silence, especially in cities which always seem to be booming, and is often searching for these quiet moments within her everyday life, and if one is found she logs how the silence felt and how long it lasted in a special journal. It's a rather strange hobby, to say the least. Besides that, Nova likes to paint, and has plenty of portraits and landscapes hung up around her old home in Nevada. She also likes to collect pretty rocks and flowers, and has a collection of pressing books and crystals in her dorm room. Her relations with the other Houses in Kingsridge is the same as her relations with anyone else in general; Vague and thoughtless. Nova doesn't have any ill will towards any of the houses nor their inhabitants and thus doesn't think too much about grudges. [b]SHORT BIOGRAPHY:[/b] Growing up on the outskirts of the popular tourist town of Mammoth Lakes, Nevada in a log cabin surrounded by tall trees and even taller mountains my sound like something out of a horror story to most children, but to Nolan, it was home. She was bore to a muggle mother, a rather pretty woman named Debra, and a hidden wizard father named Bill. The family of three were very happy, and spent most of their days having fun within the expansive forest, teaching the young Nolan all about nature and, in a vague sense, magic. She grew up with only having he parents, shop clerks, and the nature around her to speak to, and because of this Nolan eventually lost her ability to speak normally to other people. In the town, children her age thought the poor girl was weird because she was so quiet and often spoke only to herself. Bullying started, in and out of school, until eventually Nolan convinced her parents to pull her out of classes. She then stayed home, or in the woods, everyday, running around, finally free from the hateful words of her generation. She had even made a different kind of friend, a baby owl, who was named Catcher after Nolan's interest in her mother's dream catcher collection, and for some reason the predator actually did stick around to follow Nolan on her adventures. Bill started teaching her more about magic while Debra tried to withhold her growing anger over the two's fanatical discussions until she saw first hand that magic was real. When Nolan was climbing particularly high one day, she missed a branch, and ended up falling. Debra expected her daughter to be bruised and broken, but no, she was fine, save for a bloody cheek and whimpering. Nolan had managed to... Float, somehow. Debra was dumbfounded, while Bill was ecstatic. He continued to teach Nolan, now with Debra's support, until they received the invitation to Kingsridge. Nolan, who had eventually nicknamed herself Nova, accepted this invitation with a wide grin and a bright mind. Perhaps she could meet others like her, and perhaps she could make friends. Oh, what a school it must be! [b] MISCELLANEOUS:[/b] ~ Normally wears a dream catcher necklace and hates to take it off. It is apparently a good luck charm. ~ Her chanting is very calming, but maybe a bit [i]too[/i] calming, as if one were to listen to a song all the way through they might just accidentally begin to doze off. ~ Can often be found where there are many trees or flowers.

Nova is very amused by this girl's obnoxious and fiery personality, finding that they share similar characteristics like their bluntness or aloofness, and the fact that they are both Half Bloods interests Nova as well. Definitely wishes to grow closer to this girl as a friend. ◑/♥ [b]Salem Truitt[/b] His hair is fantastic. Honestly, that's the only thought that can pass through her head when this boy passes by, since Nova doesn't exactly know much about him. Their differing Houses might be the cause of this. Nonetheless, she is very much interested in getting to know Salem, despite finding his accent to be very strange. ◑/☺[b]Jayln Vance:[/b] Cool hair color! Nova has seen Jay around and can only think of him as being a bit nervous. His jokes are funny though, and his familiar is pretty freaking adorable. She wishes to get closer to the man, as she wants to figure him out fully, but doesn't know how to approach him without making him nervous. ◑/☺ [b]Lamillia May Johnson:[/b] How can one girl be so pretty?! Nova kind of has this tiny friend-crush on Lamillia, mostly because she has a cute face, but she doesn't really know how to act upon it, so she'll probably end up ignoring it in the end. Wishes to get closer to Lamillia. ◑[b]Charlotte M. Spirit:[/b] A smarty-pants who likes the outside? Nothing to worry about there! Nova doesn't have any reason to hate this girl, besides the fact that she is rather cruel towards Muggles and their Wizard children. She doesn't really know how to act around her. ◑[b]Thomas Benjamin Grimm:[/b] He's so friendly! Nova get's a strange feeling around Thomas, but isn't exactly sure what it means. Finds his relaxed and carefree personality to be very calming, and his little snake is really adorable. Nova wishes to get to know Thomas, and sometimes tries to figure out why he has this weird feeling about him. ◑[b]Cliodhna Burns:[/b] Another smarty-pants, huh? Nova finds Clio's interest in animals to be kind of adorable, but that's about it. She doesn't exactly know what to think about the red-head, and has trouble being around her without being a bit nervous. Also, Nova had heard tell that the girl called her an airhead! How rude! ◑[b]Benjamin Teague:[/b] Chill out, man! Nova is rather curious about why Benjamin is so damn cautious all the time, and yet she finds his stubbornness to find the truth to be rather endearing. ◑[b]Morrigan Cassandra Brighthill:[/b] Not everything is a competition, Hun. Nova thinks of Cass to be kind of risky but doesn't do much to speak about her troubles for the girl. Doesn't really know much else about her, besides the fact that she is fabulous singer. Nova loves all types of music, so that is an obvious plus for Cass in her book. ◑[b]Kwes Powers:[/b] That's the guy who heard me chant! Nova is kind of curious about Kwes, mostly because he's obviously heard her chant somewhere without her permission and she is very much embarrassed of having other people hear her. Despite that, she finds his humor to be kind of bland, but his mellowness is appreciated. He might make for a good napping buddy in the future. ◑/♥[b]Emmeline Lovelock:[/b] Slow down! Other then finding Emmy to be really fast-paced, Nova finds the girl to be really cute. Like, really cute. Like, oh my God how can one girl be so freaking cute. However, just watching over the girl makes Nova feel extremely tired, even when she's not the one moving. Wishes to get to know her better and maybe become friends (or much more...) ☺[b]Toby Kipling:[/b] Who doesn't like Toby? He's sweet, childish, and optimistic. The perfect friend for someone like Nova. Like with all her friends, she is very protective over Toby, despite only seeing him in the halls and class. Nonetheless, she worries for his well being and will do anything to help him. Another one of the few people who have heard her chant, except he was allowed, unlike a certain someone else. She wishes to hang out with him more after classes but doesn't want to bother his work. [/list] [list][u][b]Staff[/b][/u] ◑/☺[b]Reuben Grayson:[/b] The man who brought her to this fantastic school. His warm personality reminds Nova of her father which is greatly appreciated, and she can't think of a better person to be Headmaster. ◑/☺[b]Balthazar Casper Barnes:[/b] Nova doesn't normally enjoy classes, but Casper make Defense Against the Dark Arts actually interesting at times. Definitely enjoys his lighthearted personality. ◑/☠[b]Melissa Wallace:[/b] Nova has no idea how to act around this strange teacher. Her dishonest ways are definitely off-putting, and her class is sadly a bit too dull for Nova's tastes. ◑[b]Jaylen Beckley:[/b] Some who likes hard work? Ugh. While Nova does trust this teacher to a degree, she dislikes his privileged and arrogant attitude. Plus his class is kind of boring, but not boring enough to not do the work. ☺[b]Madison James Cordell:[/b] The energetic Herbology teacher, what's not to like? Nova is very much in love with Madison, but not in like the [i]love[/i] way normal people would think about. No, she likes what he teaches and his kind and happy personality and his ability to be so open about his opinions. Nova likes to think of him as a big brother of sorts, someone to rely on, and honestly that's about it. [/list][/hider]
