moon dust in your lungs, stars in your eyes

you are a child of the cosmos, a ruler of the skies

	x	history ──────────────────────────── 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.

──────────────────── first instance of magic Reducio 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.	x
