Brief Bio: Nova, originally Nathaniel Walker, was born to a human mother and a fey father but just after his birth Nova's biological mother switched him for another baby out of shame at the idea of someone else finding out her child wasn't human. The parents who he was raised by instead were Marie and Kevin Walker. It was clear very early on he wasn't their biological child, and the couple was left to assume their real child had be taken by a fey who in turn left Nova in their place. They mourned the loss of their child but were both older and knew it wouldn't be possible to have another. In the end neither could blame Nova, an innocent child for happened and they raised him as their own.

Their early childhood was overall pleasant the family of three moving to a small cottage far from others when Nova still a toddler, both to protect them from criticism from neighbors and both of their parents fearing their biological parents would return for them and not wanting to part with their child. Isolated and surrounded by forest Nova quickly developed an adventurous nature spending hours alone exploring the woods around his home.

Eventually Nova set off on their own, he had long outgrown the woods around their home and he couldn't wait to see what awaited beyond it. While sad his mother was very encouraging, wanting him to do what made him happy. His father had pasted away a few years prior. It was after he set out that Nova changed his name, both to protect his full name and because Nova sounded cooler. He was too embarrassed to tell his mother about his.
