Nova, or Nova the Cat, is a character created by Sinclair Ukiri. She is a goofy, orange, chubby cat who is the protagonist in Nyahata and is often seen craving fish. She was conceived on August 18, 2023, and made her first online appearance on December 3 in Season 1, Episode 2 of Wumpus. She has a daughter with the exact same name, Nova, who is the protagonist in Nyahata. In the series, Nova lives in the House: Nova's House of Awesomeness.
Personality
Nova is a goofy cat who always acts accordingly. She likes eating fish, watching television, and going on fun adventures.
In Nova's Starbound Journey, she's shown to be best friends with a dog named Dori.
Appearance
Nova is a chubby, bipedal orange cat with two brown back paws and a set of two whiskers at each side of her face. She has a simple art style in which her limbs are stubby and her eyes are portrayed as two straight vertical lines—sometimes little dots. She has no tail.
