Nova
Teacher, Guardian of the Oldest Stone House, Lady-Light of the Lantern and the Loom
Nova has served Cleveland’s Dreaming across multiple lifetimes, with roots stretching back to the city’s golden era as the Sixth City. A Grump Eshu with a gentle yet penetrating gaze, Nova carries herself with the composed elegance of one who has seen history repeat more than once. Her fae mien is dignified and radiant—braided black hair laced with silver thread, dark eyes glimmering with insight, and a flowing sari that shimmers like story-light. Her countless bangles clink softly when she gestures, as if echoing her many tales.
In recent years, Nova has become increasingly withdrawn from public affairs, spending most of her time in the Oldest Stone House in Lakewood, the Freehold she maintains. There, she labors on a codex intended to preserve the wisdom she has accumulated. Though her voice is rarely heard in public, her influence still ripples through the decisions of those who remember the power of her words.
It is whispered that Nova's Banality has been creeping higher with each passing season. Some say she is preparing to Forget—but not before securing her legacy for the city she loves.
Legacy
- Nova offers no quick answers, only piercing questions. She has mentored countless Kinain and changelings over the years, especially those drawn to education, storytelling, or leadership.
- Seek her if you crave ancient wisdom, need help interpreting a riddle of fate, or are prepared to inherit responsibility you may not yet understand.
- Be warned: she does not suffer frivolity in matters of legacy, and she sees through pretension like a blade through silk.
