Nova Ferreira

bonus broadcast (if applicable)

student attending arao state middle school
adopted in caveta, currently living in esperanza
moms implored nova to hide their magic, fearing something terrible might happen if anyone found out
their previous school, golden star elementary, had a rumor about a ghost haunting the premises
one skipped gym period resulted in relentless bullying
though their mothers demanded the principal do something, she refused to listen
shortly after, their family made the decision to move to esperanza
brought onto the cruise because of moms’ work. while nova's not too thrilled about having to go with their family on a business trip, surrounded by snobby adults, maybe they could tell their class about the celebrities they met onboard, or the cool things to do

talkative
rowdy to an extent
has trouble picking up social cues
naturally outgoing, eager to try new things
views people as inherently good, but can be too trusting as a result
not afraid to do potentially dangerous things if the opportunity arises because 1) "haha cool" and 2) "this'll help"
mothers encouraged nova to look at people's faces to help them read others' emotions, as this is something they struggle with

4'3"/~129cm; stocky build. do not draw them skinny
short, messy blue hair partially covered by a snapback hat
pink eyes
often wears bandages to cover up minor scrapes
born with the power to turn invisible. can use it on themself and others through physical contact. they do not have full control of it yet
magic limit: potency of the invisibility is contingent on nova's health and well-being. in ideal conditions, it'll be an hour. but if nova is injured or in a terror over something, the invisibility can wear off. takes a moderate amount of concentration for them
passive effects: if they're distressed, they vanish. sometimes, if they fall asleep, they may wake up to see they've disappeared

Canon

afraid of loud noises
carries a box of bandages around (per mom's instructions) because of how prone they are into getting minor scrapes
favorite animal is anything with black and white patterns: cows, zebras, dalmatians...
dislikes adults who look down on them just because they’re a kid

nova is fat. DO NOT DRAW SKINNY
DO NOT WHITEWASH (e.g. lighten skin, etc.)
different outfits okay
dislikes having to wear formal wear; finds it too stuffy for their tastes. would rather be wearing their Totally Radical Cool Video Game shirts
patterns can be simplified
outfit shown in reference: a pink snapback with a comet design on the front and a dark pink bill, blue bandages, a pink-blue-purple tie dye shirt with a star pattern, dark pink overalls with a sky blue star on the front pocket, and purple sneakers
