Personality: Nova is very introverted. Growing up with no friends and little interaction with other children has left her with poor social skills. As a result she tries to avoid other people and social situations to the best of her ability, but her recent promise to her father has forced her to go out and meet people to develop as a person.

She's an accomplished mage in theory and is very capable with offensive frost magic, but has never been in an actual combat situation and, if met with one, she's very likely to panic. She also panics when faced with a problem she doesn't have the knowledge on how to solve as well as a deep fear for the unknown.

Being primarily a scholar, she's knowledgeable and has the uncanny ability to remember almost anything read in a book but has a habit of being a bit of a know-it-all sometimes.

History: November was born in Stormwind shortly after the second war during the time that the city was still being rebuilt. Her father was a jolly and carefree blacksmith who had made a killing off the people's paranoia following the second war. People were still paranoid that the orcs would somehow return again and were buying weapons and armor to protect themselves in case of their return and November's father, who was an honest man, and his fair prices was a popular source of these weapons and armors.

November's mother, on the other hand, was a serious and determined mage who had fought in the second war. Alas, she died in childbirth and November grew up without her mother. Her father became so troubled and distracted by his wife's passing that he could not come up with a name for his daughter and simply named her after the month she was born in, which happened to be November. Later on, her father would feel guilty about this name and started calling her “Nova” which she herself prefers as she's embarrassed by her real name, not so much for her own sake but for the sake of her unimaginative father. November was very much a lone wolf when growing up and avoided the other children .She found solitude in her books and her love for knowledge and books quickly made her an excellent student, further distancing her from the other kids.

The only time she would do anything else than read books was during winters, when she and her father would go ice fishing and ice skating together and she became quite good at both as well as several other winter activities.

As November grew up, she took an interest in becoming a mage like her mother, so her father employed a mage from the mage tower in Stormwind to come to their house to tutor her. November was a quick and eager learner and her love for the winter season caused her to take a much bigger interest in the frost school than any of the other schools.

As she learned how to wield frost magic, she started using it for hobbies such as ice sculpting and even to go ice skating during seasons when there was no ice. This everyday use of magic made her quite potent in her school of magic.

She grew up in a life with little conflict. Living in Stormwind, she only ever heard of the Third War but never participated and never left the city for any of the other conflicts that followed it. Despite her tutor and mentor claiming that it was wasted potential, November was very content with just staying at home with her books.

While November was, for once, out of town to procure some rare books from the city of Ironforge, she got note that her father had fallen ill and was on his deathbed. She rushed home to be with him and he was indeed bedridden and very weak. On his deathbed he made November promise that she had to come out of her shell and meet other people. He made her promise not just once but several times and of course November couldn't deny any of them.

Turned out he just had the flu and he made a full recovery shortly after that. He claimed he really thought he was going to die but November has her doubts. Despite her suspicions, November had promised several times that she'd become more social and she intended to hold that promise. So she went out into the world to meet new people.
