BACKSTORY: (WORK IN PROGRESS, ADVICE WELCOME)

Nova's parents were not force sensitive; although her father so wished he was, he tried and failed to be. From a young age, Nova knew she was not like other kids, and often sat by herself beneath the night sky, staring up at the stars knowing there was more out there for her than the small world she felt trapped on. When she discovered the Force flowing through her, she began to quietly seek out a source of training...she knew how dangerous it could be for someone like her to be found out. Through careful channeling and investigating she found out about Luke Skywalker's Jedi Praxeum on Yavin 4 and she set her mind on seeking out the academy.

She did not want to bring undue attention to her or her family, so once she thought she was ready, she left them in order to keep them safe. When Nova reached the moon and found the academy, she expected to find herself excited to join...however instead, she felt a growing darkness within the Jedi Praxeum that made her hesitant to introduce herself. So instead, she concealed herself and stayed on the outskirts, trying to listen in and learn from the masters from afar. Eventually she accidentally crossed paths with another student, and the two became friends. They agreed to share with Nova the things they learned in the academy, and in return, Nova offered her friendship and stories of her brief adventures. Using sticks from the forest, her friend taught her how to sword fight, meditate, and channel the force. Although they often urged Nova to join them at the school, they accepted her refusal to do so.

Then one night, Nova woke from a disturbance in the Force that sickened her, and peeked out at the Jedi Praxeum just in time to see a building collapse, and a student to stumble out from it. Nova felt the waves of shock and anger pouring from the boy, and watched in horror as he slaughtered his fellow padawans and set the academy ablaze before vanishing into the night. So his was the darkness that she had felt within the academy... Nova weeped by herself, knowing her only friend had to have been among the fallen. Once she sensed the darkness of the boy fading from the area, she crept out to the charred ashes of the school the next morning and poked around at what was left. Very little was scavengable, with only a few unimportant pages of text and metal scraps found a bit away from buildings that had blown up. She was able to fashion the metal pieces into a crude weapon, however without a kyber crystal, it could not ignite a light blade. 

With nothing left for her on Yavin 4, and shaken by the events that had taken place there, Nova left the moon and headed towards the most remote planet she could think of- Batuu. She could gather herself there. On the edge of the galaxy's outer rim, the last stop before wild space, Nova figured the politically untouched planet would provide her the time and quiet she needed as a gray jedi to find her destiny. 

That is...until the First Order arrived, and things became more interesting. She had heard of them but never met them face to face, so she kept her opinion of them neutral. More off-worlders could provide her more job opportunities; and as long as she could keep her force abilities a secret, she knew they could pay well, regardless of who they were.
