Seeing as they were born a "hybrid runt", Glamour, while it does hide 90% of their Fable appearance, isn't always perfect, no matter how cheap or expensive the glamour is. There are still things such as their eye, nose & ears that seem to half-adapt to the changes, but these can be easily covered up if necessary.Their left body & left eye seem to be heavily scarred, the origins of which are unknown. The eye seems to be a birth defect, where as the arm seems to be associated with a bright light (or fire?) incident that they refuse to talk about.Changing back to their fable appearance is mostly based on how distressed they are, but is still working on being able to change "on the fly" so to speak.
THE FIRST NOVA; a fairytale that explains the night. The first Nova created the night sky in order to let nocturnal beings (animals or otherwise) live their lives without the threats of diurnal lurking about. A very ancient fable with mysterious origins, and even more mysterious current whereabouts. But what is known is that they have a child. Allister Dusk Nova, or just simply known as Ally, lives a very sheltered life, no one knows too much about them besides their title of being the child of Nova, who had vanished a few years ago. Not even they know what happened to their parent, but knows that they’ll be fine. They have to be.Living in one of the many apartments in Fabletown, Ally doesn’t go outside much, but does always keep some glamour on hand for “just in case”, better to be safe than to be sorry. While being extremely anxious both socially & just in general, there is a tiny bit of wit which seems to have come from The first Nova, like parent like child- though this side of them is really only ever present around those they trust.. Which isn’t that many people, to be honest.Considering their lonely way of living, they’d love to have a friend or two, but the idea currently doesn’t seem very realistic; everyone is on edge almost all of the time, and the last thing they need is getting on someone’s bad side. They feel like they have to keep up a good reputation just like their parent did, but even then, they aren’t sure if they knew Nova.. Did anyone truly know who they were like?
Their connection to the night & as well as darkness in general gives them the advantage to camouflage themselves within the darkness, though this ability gets more stronger during the night. Similarly, they're able to dissolve into a shadow on any surface regardless of what time of day it is; but the ability just like the earlier mentioned works best at night. It's easier to travel that way than being on foot, & no one is ever the wiser unless they look hard enough.A creature of the night is naturally weakened by too much exposure to the night; while not lethal, standing out in the day does cause some discomforting side effects; mostly feverish symptoms. However, something that can be lethal is too much exposure to extremely bright lights- causing potential scarring on the skin or worse. These could be used to weaken them temporarily, but it's not advised.
[IMAGE TO BE ADDED.]
The First Nova had always been interested in Mundies, despite the obvious dangers that interest had. At some point, the timeline is unknown, they had met a Mundy & the both of them genuinely loved each other, but all good things come to an end- When Nova had given birth. Shocked by the newborn, & realizing just what Nova truly is, this Mundy had fled completely, whether or not he is still alive is unknown. But any mention of this parent is forbidden, as, well, no one truly knows he existed.While raising Ally alone, Nova had made some mistakes, ones that might've costed them their life. Relying on the Crooked Man in order to make some kind of living, him & Nova weren't exactly close, but he understood enough about their situation, & perhaps the only reason why Ally was still alive is because it was the only thing that the Crooked Man had promised, should anything go wrong. Whether or not this promise is genuine is up for debate. In some way, Nova was one of Crooked Man's bodyguards- Similar to Bloody Mary, but rarely ever needed. Mostly for "peaceful" confrontations, which the earlier mentioned may not be best suited for.
