Character Profile: Nova

As the monsters in Cephiro are created from the negative emotions of the people of Cephiro, and Nova was no exception. When Hikaru had no choice but to kill Princess Emeraude, the grief and anguish she felt spawned Nova, a dark doppleganger of Hikaru. But because Hikaru, along with Umi and Fuu, were immediately taken back to Cephiro, Nova searched all over Cephiro for Hikaru and was unable to find her, filling her with grief and loneliness until Lady Debonair, a demonic sorceress named Lady Debonair adopted her. When Debonair raised Nova, she told her that Hikaru believed that people can only be with their loved with their loved ones in death, prompting Nova to "hate" everyone Hikaru loves.

Hikaru's personality had similarities and contrasts to Hikaru's, as while both of them were stubborn, and yet childish, Nova is a sadistic killer as opposed to Hikaru's compassionate nature. She has a borderline unhealthy obsession with Hikaru. She creepily flirts with Hikaru, tells her that she loves her, and has a desperate desire to keep her all to herself, attempting to kill all of Hikaru's loved ones from Hikaru's fellow Magic Knights Umi and Fuu, to Hikaru's love interest, Lantis, the younger brother of High Priest Zagato. Nova also proves herself to be both a very strong physical and psychological threat to Hikaru, being vicious in battle with her, and scratching open her old wounds, telling her over and over that Lantis would never return Hikaru's love for her because she killed his brother. Although in the end, she was proven wrong.

In combat, Nova can summon a pair of light swords that she can merge together and use as a boomerang, and she can also use the same spells as Hikaru and has access to a Rune God of her own named Regalia.
