[b]Personality:[/b] Novella is an assertive teenager with a passion for saving people. He believes whole-heartedly that people can get along, despite the imaginary differences they've created. A lot of his values and beliefs came from a martial artist named Bruce Lee who broke racial barriers and introduced a lot of eastern philosophies to the west. He tries to flow with most situations, though at his core he's stubborn, self-conscious, and crude. Because of his ability to back up his talk with action, Novella is excessively prideful though he does make attempts to be humble. He has a soft side for animals, cats in particular because they taught him the value of being independent and affectionate.

[b]Bio:[/b] The son of two nurses, Novella grew up with a deep understanding of the preservation of life. His mothers, Mary-Ann Hearth and Jackie Hearth made sure to shower him with love but also give him space to discover himself. They bought him a cat to teach him responsibility and give him companionship outside of them. Where they traveled he was close behind; trips to Africa, Australia, Russia, and Europe left him with an appreciation of the world. There was plenty of beauty around him, however, there was also strife, famine, and war. Mary-Ann Hearth, an Arms Master had a powerful place amongst her kind. She was important to the medical field, with a Noble Arms in the shape of a Stethoscope, she could pin-point illnesses and injuries in the body with unparalleled precision. 

However, some Arms Masters didn't take kindly to her marrying a regular human. 

Novella experienced several hate-crimes against his mothers. Where his mind was once exploring the infinity that was his reality, it quickly became closed with anger, revenge, and his own ego. For a time he shied away from people and instead found himself more and more alone. If not for Leon, his Savanna Cat, he would have walked a different path long ago. However, he was far too confused to figure it out himself, so he opened up to his mothers about his problems... eventually. Oddly enough, it was Jackie that sat him down and coerced him to let go of his fears.

He found that practicing Jeet Kune Do with her was therapeutic.

At the age of twelve his own Noble Arms bloomed into existence. A garb that actually gave him the abilities to protect his loved ones. So for a time he did that, but soon it put him on the radar of the Oregon Arms Academy. There he received some training before being recommended for Operation: Symbiosis.    

[b]*Current Goal:[/b] To instill unity between Arms Masters and humanity. 

[b]Military Rank:[/b] Ensign[/hider]
