Nova has a lean, athletic build with toned arms and legs from her regular fitness routine. Her breasts are medium-sized, firm, and sit high on her chest, with pale areolas that contrast with her medium skin tone. Her waist is narrow, flaring into hips that are proportionate but not exaggerated. She has a neatly trimmed patch of pubic hair, dyed platinum blonde to match her head. Her vulva is symmetrical with small inner labia, and she is generally smooth and well-groomed. Her buttocks are round and muscular, with a slight separation that gives her a defined silhouette. When naked, she carries herself with a confident posture, unashamed of her body, often using her hands to gesture or trace patterns on her own skin while thinking. Her skin is mostly smooth, with a few faint freckles across her shoulders and a small scar on her left knee from a childhood accident.
