Nova

Nova is one of three protagonist gender choices the player can choose from. They are a student who is new to Aether West Academy. It is their job to "steal the hearts" of all of their new friends! Nova's real name is actually "Vanilla," and they're a type of "emotional vampire" called a Pathospire. Pathospires essentially absorb the emotional energy released from a broken heart. Nova was going to "feed on" their new friends by breaking their hearts at the dance.
