Nova Portrait

Nova the Cat

Nova, more commonly known as Nova the Cat, is a prominent fictional character conceived and developed by the animator and indie game developer Sinclair Ukiri. She is consistently portrayed as a goofy, somewhat chubby, orange cat, notable for her simple yet expressive design and distinct lack of a tail. Nova has transitioned from a companion character in the now-concluded Wumpus web series to a central figure in her own right. She stars as a main playable character in the indie platformer video game Nova's Starbound Journey and is a key character in the Nyahata web series, where the protagonist is her daughter, also named Nova. Across her appearances, Nova is frequently defined by her intense craving for fish, her love for adventure, and her generally cheerful, albeit goofy, disposition.

The character's official conception date is documented as August 18, 2023. However, her precise first appearance online remains ambiguous due to conflicting information regarding her debut episode in the Wumpus series. Sources suggest either Season 1, Episode 2 (aired November 27, 2023) or the later Season 1, Episode 11, titled "Nova and the Mouse", as her introduction point. Online searches have not yet clarified this discrepancy.  In the Nyahata continuity, this original Nova resides in a distinctively named house called "Nova's House of Awesomeness", which was shown in the second episode of the first season. She shares her universe with characters like her best friend Dori the Dog and the spectral antagonist Bood the Ghost.

Personality

Nova's personality is characterized by her prominent goofiness; she is described as a cat who "always acts accordingly," suggesting a nature that is perhaps silly, unpredictable, or prone to humorous situations.  Despite this lightheartedness, she possesses a strong sense of adventure, actively enjoying and seeking out "fun adventures" and "great journeys." This adventurous spirit translates into a heroic role in Nova's Starbound Journey, where she actively works with Dori the Dog to combat Bood the Ghost and save their world.

A defining trait is her powerful love for fish, which borders on an obsession. This is highlighted as a simple 'like' in some contexts but is explicitly portrayed as an "addiction" in the first episode of the Nyahata series, suggesting it heavily motivates her actions and thoughts. She also finds pleasure in mundane activities like watching television, indicating a capacity for relaxation and simple enjoyments alongside her grander adventures. Her interactions with Dori imply she values friendship and cooperation, especially when facing challenges. Conversely, her dislike of mice and armadillos, along with her implied aversion to environmental hazards like spikes, rounds out her character with specific fears or annoyances.
