one thing i actually really like about star stable (and wanna embrace more in my own lore building stuff in my brain) is that it doesn't actually matter at all where your character came from, just that they're on jorvik now

Hello!

Figured I would post a little bit about me since I'm a bit more active on here now lol.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm Nova! Feel free to call me that, Star, or Starlight is also acceptable, I also go by Snowfoot, Snow, or Snowwy lol as that is my AO3 account name :3

English is the only language I speak but I am slowly learning Portuguese atm!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While I'm not really a writer(maybe someday lol) I do love to read fanfiction and I will try to reblog with proper tags when I see stuff I like(I am kinda bad at that but I want to get better y'all write some great stuff!)

Super into minecraft SMPs right now, the ones I really like are

QSMP, Hermitcraft, Life Series, and EmpiresSMP!

DreamSMP i'm kinda iffy about, depends on the characters/ccs lol

I haven't really watch any others so those are the main MCYT fandoms I'm in!

As for other fandoms I’m in a bunch lol. To name a few…

Flight Rising, Pokémon, Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, Dreamlight Valley, Critical Role(I am very behind on Bells Hells but Vox Machina and Mighty Nein I’m caught up in!)

Also really like Taylor Swift so I may reblog or post stuff abut her a little bit so if you don’t like that don’t interact :)

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Feel free to ask me questions or my opinions on stuff! I might not be super active on here but I will try to answer any questions lol

! A letter! I wonder who it belongs to...

🪄

And if it's applicable, 💭

🪄 [MAGIC WAND] -> Does your Original Character know about the magic powers existing across Jorvik? Do they know of the Sisterhood and the Keepers, of the Herds in Wild Woods, or Pandoria? If not, how do they explain some of the things happening around them (e.g. whatever Devil's Gap got going after the latest Main Quest)?

yes! i would consider nova's story to be by and large compliant with the player character's canon, meaning she's aware of all magic shenanigans to the extent that MC is in canon. she is also distinctly well acquainted with the herds of the wildwoods, after living among them for several weeks.

💭 [THOUGHT BUBBLE] -> What are your Original Character's overall thoughts to what is going on on Jorvik? Are they tired of this 'war' or are they desperate to save the island?

nova is sick of this shit!!! she hates working for the keepers of aideen, but feels too embroiled in the goings-on to back out. she's also irrevocably in love with alex, which is a whole different can of worms, but it's one of the things keeping her tethered to the conflict. in essence, she doesn't like or trust the keepers, but she'd rather not let a multi dimensional being rend her entire life asunder. i dont think she's considered this (or, if she has, would ever admit the truth to herself), but, honestly, i dont think nova knows who she is outside of this conflict.

🛩🛋🦋🏆📚🌪 )HOPE ITS NOT TOO MANY SDKLGDS)

LOL no worries!!! this ended up being a bit long so answers r under the cut >:3

🛩 [PLANE] -> Was your Original Character born on Jorvik or did they come here from somewhere else? If so, what was their reason to come to Jorvik?

nova (like me) is from canada! she actually came to jorvik at age 11 when she was scouted by the jorvik ballet company, and became interested in horseback riding when her ballet master took her and her fellow students to see the circus - she was enamoured by vaulting!

🛋 [COUCH W/ LAMP] -> Where does your Original Character live? As in, where do they reside - one of the many stables across the Jorvegian Peninsula, or do they own an apartment/home within one of Jorvik's Cities?

technically nova lives with mrs holdsworth (who is essentially her adoptive mother), and that's the address where she like. gets all her mail lol. holdsworth is also more or less the only person who is relatively up to date on nova's whereabouts at any given point (eg. she was the only one who knew where she was during nova's stint in the wildwoods). in practice, nova's a nomad, and can't handle staying in one place for too long. currently she's stabling her herd in valedale, in exchange for them being used in druid activities (this is really reluctant, but when you're low on funds, you havent got many options lol). oh, there was also a period of about a year during which she lived in the little shack at the unfortunate dews' farm! this was way before maya staked claim to the property, and they never ran into each other while maya was caring for the livestock there, but i like to think that, since they're friends, maya lets her crash there every once in awhile

🦋 [BUTTERFLY] -> Does your Original Character belong to any of the organisations or groups on Jorvik - Dark Core, the Keepers, the Rangers, the GED, one of the Stables, etc.?

there was a period of time (roughly three months) during which nova was employed by the rangers at redwood point. she's affiliated with the keepers, but isn't exactly happy about it. she's really close with the moorlands, and worked at their summer camp for a couple terms. she's also a guest instructor with the bobcats!

(i've already answered the trophy one so i'm gonna skip it to avoid being redundant)

📚 [BOOK STACK] -> What is your Original Character's story? Not just in SSO's canon main story - what is your Character's deal in general?

this is a wonderful question that i would love to answer in great detail, but i honestly dont think i can! i would say it needs its own post, but i think nova's life story is one that will be revealed (to everyone, including me) over time, through answering small questions, creating art, and making tweaks over time in compliance with (or defiance against) the existing canon of SSO (which is an ever shifting beast, but i genuinely enjoy the challenge!) essentially, i'd say that nova came to the island as a kid, experienced a falling out with her family, and never went back. there was a period of a few years (2016-2023, aka when i stopped playing the game and got the sudden inexplicable urge to come back) during which she travelled the world at large, but never went back to canada. at that time, she split her herd between the moorlands and herman to employ as lesson horses. it's been a labour of love for her to restore her bond with each of them as individuals. i havent figured out her in-canon reason for coming back to the island yet unfortunately! she also had a "love interest" (comp het) several years ago who experienced a tragic demise, and is the reason she left the island to begin with

🌪 [TORNADO] -> Does your Original Character have any traumas or fears that stem from something that happened to them on Jorvik? Have they been confronted with something that left them scarred (mentally or physically)?

yes! yes. the aforementioned "love interest" is absolutely one. she broke her foot at the moorland's summer camp which meant that she couldnt dance anymore, and also spurred her falling out with her parents. nova also has lingering issues with her eyesight in her left eye, following an accident involving a cross country course and a thorn bush (which is based on an injury from my irl cross country days lol)

thank you for the questions!!!! i love talking about my fucked up baby girl

🏆

🏆 [TROPHY] -> Is your Original Character known across the island? Are they known for something specific, e.g. how Lisa is a musician and Anne a dressage rider, etc.

i'd say nova's fairly well known in the section of jorvik that she roams around in! partly because she moves around so much. she's famous for doing odd jobs for those she likes personally, and for not asking questions when people are willing to pay enough. she gets uncomfortable when people she's never met already know who she is lol

the evolution of nova is her becoming less edgy and more just weird and off-putting
