One day, Nova and her sister were performing their act, through the whispering crowd they heard tale of a mysterious circus coming to the next town, one who's ringmaster could grant wishes. Excited that they may have found a way for them to get off the street, the sisters hurried over to the next town, though the circus was not what they were expecting. When they first saw it a chill ran up both of their spines, something seemed off about it, like it was holding a secret, something horrible, something tragic, something dark.
Nova, ignoring the feeling, began to drag her sister toward the big top before Clover ripped her hand out of Nova’s grasp and told her she was not going near that ‘devil’s nest’. Nova merely shrugged and told her she would meet her after the show; and what a show it was. Nova had never seen so many amazing things in her life, but what caught her attention the most was the fire dancers and breathers. Their flames intranced her just like the fire of the kids back a orphanage had.
After the show was over, Nova decided to have a little look around, hoping to meet one if the fire acts, but instead she ran in to the tall, dark ring master himself, Mr. Dark. Excited, she was about to ask the man if she and her sister could join his circus, when she stopped, remembering how her sister wouldn't even come close to entering the big top, let alone join.
“What is wrong? Do you wish to join my circus?” He asked her and Nova nodded her head.
“Yes, but I can’t.” she replied
“And why is that?”
“My sister doesn’t want to join and I couldn’t just leave her.” She explained “Plus she would never let me become a fire dancer.”
“Would you join if she couldn’t say no?”
“Yes, but *sighs* I just wish she could see fire the way I do. I wish she could see its beauty. I wish she could understand" she told him before leaving to go meet her sister.
It wasn’t until the next morning that Nova realized she never should have told the ringmaster her wish. She was awoken to the sound of her sister's screams. Looking around she spotted Clover a bit away, panicking. The flower atop her head was aflame! Nova quickly got up to help her sister when she realized that her own flowers were on fire as well as the tips of her leaves, but oddly held no heat, no burning whatsoever. Nova tried to tell her sister this but she kept on screaming about how everything was on fire. Confused by her sister's words, as the two of them were the only things 'on fire' in the room, Nova tried to calm her sister down, but to no avail. Clover pushed her out of the way and ran towards a near by river, jumping in, in a desperate attempt to put out the flames.
Nova watched in horror as her beloved sister was dragged beneath the surface of the water by the currents and drowned. She just sat there, unable to do anything, until she finally broke down and cried for what seemed like hours. Finally after she could no longer cry any more, Nova picked herself up and dragged herself back to the circus; knowing it was the only place she could go now, as she could never make it alone without her sister. When she looked back up in to the eyes of Mr. Dark she couldn’t help but feel the same eerie chill she had felt when she fist got there, staring into his icy blue eyes she said three words.
“ I’ll join you.”
Personality:
Nova has the personality of a survivor as a result of both growing up an orphan and losing her sister. She will do whatever it takes for her to stay ahead of the game and keep herself alive. She is conniving and mischievous even sometimes borders on manipulative (she may flirt with someone to get what she needs). She is also sarcastic and blunt and won’t hesitate to tell you off if you tick her off. If she is ever honestly nice to someone it’s just because she either somehow likes them or she is in a good mood.
History:
Nova and her older sister, Clover were orphaned at a young age, and with no other family that wanted them much less care for them, the girls were sent to an orphanage. It was here were Nova’s love of fire first manifested, she was entranced whenever one of the young fire pokemon used one of their move. Their flames seemed so beautiful to her, so free, so alive. Nova fell in love with fire and it’s majestic beauty, sadly this made her the target of both physical and verbal abuse from both the other children and care takers of the orphanage. Only her sister Clover stood by her, despite her thinking her sister’s love of fire was odd too, and spoke against the others, however this only made her a target as well.
Several years passed before the sisters decide they could take no more, so they grabbed what little they had and ran. The two ran and ran until they had reached the outskirts of the next town, it was then Clover, a fully evolved Vileplume, and truly realized what they had done. Now they really did have no home, no place then could return to, nothing. Nova, who by this time had evolved in to a gloom, on the other hand relished the freedom away that horrible orphanage, but her smile soon turned into a frown when she saw her sister’s tears. Nova hugged her sister and told her they would find a way to survive this, just like how they had survived the orphanage.
It was then they remembered something that one of the other orphans had told them before they left, about a circus he had gone to before his parents had died, where the acts would perform for money. The girls decide that was there best bet to survive, they had to perform like in the circus to get money so that’s what they did. Clover, who had a beautiful singing voice, would sing as Nova, who was very flexible and agile, would dance to her sister’s songs. They did this for years, moving from town to town performing. In fact it was in one of these performances that the sisters where given a sun stone by a wealthy passer-by; and Nova, who had never seen a sun stone before, picked it up and evolved into a Bellossom. The girls still had it rough as they traveled, they faced many problems such as days when they couldn’t get enough money for food, the people of the town chasing them off, and the icy embrace of whenever winter came. Though one problem stood out more then the others, at least in Clover’s eyes, as the years went by Nova’s love of fire grew and grew, and began to frighten the Vileplume…

- Outfit in picture is her performance outfit.
- When she spins a certain way her leaves make a pleasant melody
- She is a little vain as well due to not only the fact she knows she is very pretty (as Bellossoms are suppose to be really pretty pokemon) but also that if she starts to lose her looks, it would mean less people would come to watch her dance causing her to bring in less money for Dark, which would make him kick her out on the streets again.
- Her birthday is March 26th
After Event 5, Nova has also learned to use Fire fans in her act but she only uses them for her more late night shows (when most of the kids and families have gone home) due to the more 'entrancing' nature of them in her dances.
