Nova Borealis

Nova Borealis

Whether it's his piercing loud voice, his red-tinted glasses or his overbearing personality- you KNOW when Nova enters a room. He's lived his life on the edge, breaking the law to fill his stomach and wallet.   His lack of emotional investment and ability to speak both Cherub and Feral makes him an expert conman- but leaves him with countless of burned bridges and a low-key identity crisis.   There's definitely some good in him. But he doesn't let anyone see it in case it gets him killed.

Initially one of Nova's rivals, one of his older sisters Veta became one of his closest friends. She was patient with him and unlike the others she actually saw the potential he saw in his own ideas. PLUS she could come up with logical steps to make them happen.   They were partners in crime that pushed the boundaries of the villages rules. With each venture Nova learned more about the world. Which, excited him. But didn't interest her as much.   Over time Nova and Veta grew apart. It was clear they had very different priorities.
