November Annabella "Nova" Terra

November Annabella "Nova" Terra (designation: Agent X41822N) is a ghost who served the Terran Dominion. Even through her ghost training (before the memory wipe) Nova's personality generally remained the same throughout her late teen years. She possessed a degree of empathy that was generally lacking in the Old Families (a trait that did not go unnoticed) and believed in the concept of fair play, or at least had an aversion to "cheating" (e.g. considered attaching gliders to her shoes at her birthday to walk elegantly to be "cheating"). Although willing to deal death to those she believed to deserve it (e.g. Fagin and Cliff Nadaner), she wanted to avoid harming those who fell outside this definition (she did not want to harm Fagin's associates, regretted having to dispatch the rest of Nadaner's group. She similarly spared Stone after Davis altered his memories. As of becoming a full fledged ghost, after undergoing a memory wipe, Nova's personality became colder. Due to much of her memory wipe being undone, Nova remains psychologically scarred by the murder of her family and has trouble connecting to people as a result. Not that she particularly desired to, however—for the most part, she was content to be regarded as a merciless killer and remain isolated from her fellow soldiers, not wanting to forge attachments that could be broken. Kelerchian noted in their Altaran reunion however that she'd become more open from when he'd last seen her. Nova later noted that Kelerchian himself was "the only man who meant anything to her." Nova has a sense of black-and-white morality, believing in definite goods and evils, with little in the way of shades of grey, something that the immoral activities of the Terran Dominion challenged her on. As a child, Nova had a liking for framberries. She dislikes sushi. An psyche profile of Nova conducted by a Dominion wrangler concluded that Nova was fiercely loyal to the Dominion, though noted that she had a slight tendency to deviate from mission parameters based on personal evaluation of the situation. The wrangler noted that this might be due to residual subconscious memories of her past prior to entering the Ghost Academy. Stone noted that Nova had a tendency to question orders. For a long time after her leaving the Dominion, Nova was shaped by her training as a ghost, narrowly thinking destruction was the only way to solve her issues and believing dangers like the spectres could only be removed by murder. However, after the events of Tartarus and her training with Vorazun, Nova made an effort to view herself as more than a weapon and those around her as more than just tools to accomplish her mission.
