Reducio
On November the 12th of 2014, Vivianne Vancourt gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Nova Esther Vancourt. The affair through which she was conceived would stay a secret from everyone, including Marshall Vancourt, who Nova would grow up knowing as her father, her older brother Kassian, and Nova herself.

As a pureblooded family, the Vancourts participated in high society events and had deeply rooted connections with countless wizarding families. Both of her parents were Hogwarts graduates from house Slytherin, her mother an impressive potioneer and herbologist and her father an exceptional spellcaster and duelist. Vivienne and Marshall were both quite popular and well-known, and still retain many connections and friends from their schooling days. They graduated in the same year and were arranged to be married not long after.

Nova herself was raised near Ambleside in the English countryside and had tutors and teachers for academic and artistic subjects, the latter of which included piano and ballet. Dignity and opulence were not uncommon themes of her early life, and have shaped Nova into the person she is today. Her parents were always around, but often lacked the warmth and deeper personal relationship that is usually expected of parents.

Nova often grew up in the shadow of her brother, a successful Slytherin student two years her senior that seemed to be everything her parents wanted. The heir to the Vancourt name, Kassian was nothing less than a poster child and often received more attention and praise. This wasn't to say that Nova was neglected, of course, but she saw very few benefits to being the second child and always wished that she could be perfect, something he made to look easy.

Her first instance of magic was during a dinner with her family when she was about four. She didn't want the dinner set in front of her (the shrimp reminded her of bugs and she was revolted) but was told to eat it anyway. When she screamed in protest, all the candles in the dining room extinguished themselves.

physical.──────────────────────────────────
Nova is very well kept, a habit grown out of the pressures of her mother. Her long hair is light brown and straight, occasionally holding some wave to it, and she almost always leaves it down. Her eyes are icy blue, often piercing in their nature as she observes everything around her, and her skin is fairly pale and unblemished. She is an average height for her age, and her figure is lean and toned from years of dancing.

────────────────────────────────.psychological
Nova is hyper independent, and has convinced herself that she doesn’t need anyone in her life. That being said, she does truly enjoy others’ company and thrives off of parties and crowds. She can often get along with many different kinds of people, but is also easily annoyed with her quick temper. In fact, she doesn't like her confrontational nature due to the fact that it often causes her to push people away at the slightest disagreement. Calculated, observant, and strategic, she is constantly striving to be better than others at practically everything and can become quickly frustrated when it’s clear she is inferior or incorrect.

Bringing something we must learn"

While he can be warmer on occasion, the man Nova grew up to know as her father is a working man and often takes no nonsense from his children.

Nova's mother is all about image and prestige. She cares very much about what people think of her and her family, and pressures her family accordingly.

brother, Slytherin student, Vancourt heir, 2012
Popular, refined, and cunning, the young heir is everything that Nova wishes she could be. They were friends when they were young, but as they grew older, Kassian mostly regarded his younger sister as something he couldn't be bothered to care about.

Nova and Kahira grew up the best of friends, and have so much in common, including, tragically, being separated by the Sorting Hat, not only from each other but also from their Slytherin dreams.
