Appearance: Novella has a very light blue body and horn, slightly spiked red and blue tail/mane, pink eyes, freckled face, and is almost always wearing a large teal bow in her hair.

Cutie Mark: Novella's cutie mark is a book with a magic wand above it and magic-like sparkles around it. The book describes Novella's love of reading and the magic wand and sparkles describe her love, and talent for, practicing magic.

Personality: Novella is a really awkward pony. She is really very secluded and keeps to herself. When meeting new people she normally can't stop blushing. She's like a walking pony encyclopedia. She memorizes, reads, and writes as much as she can about everything. Once she starts talking it's almost impossible to get her to stop. She may be a big talker, but she's kind to everypony. She goes out of her way to help others when she sees them. She's quite a simple pony and doesn't seek out the limelight. When she was younger, she was forced to dress up and steal the spotlight, giving her a hatred for fame, fortune, and the like. She's thought of as everyone's innocent younger sister but she's got a dark side and isn't as innocent as everyone thinks. She has been known to occasionally get extremely dark. She has always been on the verge of insanity.<br /><br />Desirable Traits: Smarts, Ability to memorize things, modesty, kindness, simpleness.<br /><br /><br />Flaws: Rambling, insanity, awkwardness, shyness, blushing habit.

Backstory: Novella grew up in Canterlot, as her parents were both very high standing in the social community. They always wanted her to be like all the other little fillies and be interested in dresses and balls instead of old, dusty books. She never fit in there and her parents despised her for being so shy and simple. They disowned her and she went off to Ponyville in hope for finding a new way of life. Even as a young filly Novella was shunned by everypony so she created her own fantasy world from her books. She has gone insane a few times and was admitted to a few mental institutions but it's still a mystery as to what is wrong with her. She still becomes depressed occasionally but not as often as before she moved to Ponyville. In fits of insanity she had been known to study dark magic. She has hurt ponies badly before in these fits though she wouldn't say that aloud.She never was really popular so she spent almost all of her time learning, so she is very book smart but not street smart at all. She now lives in a small cottage on the outskirts of Ponyville filled with books and basically keeps to herself.<br /><br />NOTE: When her insanity takes over, her eyes start to cloud over.
