She and her family lived in the Terra Skyscraper in Tarsonis City, Tarsonis. She was spoiled much of her life by her father, being the youngest in her family, and even her mother absolutely adored her. Yet she had an unusual characteristic among those of the rich and powerful, having a high degree of empathy, even treating her servants respectfully and with compassion. Unknown to her, a great deal of her empathy was due to latent telepathic abilities, ones her father, Constantino Terra, was only slight aware of. While most individuals with psionic talent were conscripted by wranglers into the Ghost program, her father hid her abilities from the public and herself, at least until her 15th birthday.<br/><br/>During her 15th birthday party, Nova was surprised and scared to learn she had psychic potential, accidentally reading the mind of Morgan Calabas, one of her many suitors and the most disliked. She was naturally uncertain of how to discuss this with her parents, unaware her father already knew of her abilities, yet more pressing matters soon came to concern her.<br/><br/>War was just around the corner, so to speak, with weird alien creatures attacking many of the Confederate colonies and the Sons of Korhal constantly initiating raids against them. Due to this, many of the Old Families began sending their children away from Tarsonis to the relative safety of Tyrador IX. Eventually Nova’s father decided on sending her despite her numerous protests and Edward Peter’s support, her mother’s male lover. Yet as she boarded the flight that would sent her off to Tyrador IX, horror struck in the form of the death of her parents, something Nova felt from miles away.<br/><br/>Nova immediately disembarked, refusing to believe that the two people she cared for the most had just died, quickly rushing to the Terra Skyscraper. Unfortunately, when she arrived, she found Edward Peters and Gustavo McBain along with many rebels murdering the rest of her family. Peters, thankful that this particular loose end had arrived, commanded McBain to kill Nova, yet such was not to be. Due to the psychological stress caused by the entire situation, her psychic powers were elevated and fully unlocked, and with a cry of utter anguish and pain she unleashed everything she had. A large section of the Terra Skyscraper was annihilated, and all of her would-be killers along with several hundred civilians surrounding the skyscraper were instantly killed. After the scene, the grief-striken Nova fled to “the Gutter”, escaping the painful memories that now constantly plagued her mind. Naturally, of course, the destructive spectacle was proof enough that Nova would be an incredible and valuable asset to the Ghost Program, and soon wranglers were dispatched to find the lone child.<br/><br/>Things went from bad to worse in the Gutters however, her psychic powers causing her constant anguish since she simply couldn’t stop reading the minds of those around her, prompting her to hang around the mechanized robots that filled the streets with advertisements. Many things occurred in the Gutters, yet in the end she ended up becoming, against her will, a crimelord’s assassin and “loyalty detector.” Fagin, the infamous crimelord, constantly used Terra for his own purposes, yet he overused a device called a “psi-screen” to protect himself from Nova’s telepathic abilities so she couldn’t simply kill him with a mere thought. Unfortunately, this steadily drove him insane, resulting in a series of mistakes that lead to the wrangler Malcolm Kelerchian in finding and eventually extracting her, placing her immediately into the Ghost Program. Not all of her family had been killed, Claudia Terra, her older sister, still being alive though she claimed “all” of the Terra family had died except for her, leading Nova to discard her old life.<br/><br/>Nova Terra started at a severe disadvantage when she entered the Ghost Academy based on Ursa. Despite her considerably psychic power, the effects of six months of abuse, mental trauma, and malnutrition made it almost impossible for her to stand the physical training. She was the focus of resentment, jealousy, and sexual desire from many of her fellow trainees. She stayed there for a total of two and a half years instead of the full standard four, learning and going through a series of trials. At first she only relied on herself, yet over the course of the program she was forced to work as a team with others, people she eventually began to call friends. At first she was solely driven by the desire to pass through the Academy as quickly as possible and have her mind wiped, yet towards the end she began to regret the memory wipe to come, having made many friends with people she truly began to care about.<br/><br/>Before implants had been used to control the Ghost, yet ever since Kerrigan’s betrayal, Mengsk had gone with memory wiping to create loyal and obedient soldiers. Nova Terra’s last action as herself was to kill Cliff Nadaner with only her psychic powers, the man that had ordered the rebel attack upon her home and family, which by now had been utterly destroyed by a zerg invasion prompted by a psi-emitter used by Arcturus Mengsk.<br/><br/>Having been memory wiped, Nova Terra currently served in the Nova Squadron under Jackson Hauler, being sent on various missions that require the most precious and firepower.<br/><br/><strong>Personality: </strong>Pre-Ghost, Nova was a very empathic person, though this was harmed by the death of her family and the Gutter incidents, though restored as she made friends in the Academy. She had a strict moral code, believing in concepts such as fair play as well as having an unwillingness to harm those she didn’t believe deserved it. Killing Fagin and Cliff Nadaner, to her, was utterly correct, yet killing Nadaner’s rebel group left a sour taste in her mouth, though she had to to pass.<br/><br/>As a Ghost, unsurprisingly her personality as radically changed with the memory wipe. She’s very arrogant and she has been seen to make snide remarks regarding situations. Most of her moral code is also gone, having been made into an efficient killing machine.
