Quite a good hair piece.

I'm more interested in the torso piece, myself. Love that Tetris-esque design.

I’m just curious if she strikes anyone else as potentially being ASD.

As someone on the spectrum myself, I 100% agree with you, she’s probably the most relatable of the new cast to me.

We all know how she strikes certain people here (I'll name no names, because that would be getting to the Crux of the matter) but she does seem to have many of the interests common to those on that spectrum.

Well, at least she's dressed.

I don't see how, as it's not exactly a visible thing. Am I missing something?

It would be wrong and downright insensitive of me to suggest that Nova is a bad person based on whether or not she's on the spectrum.

I would instead suggest she's a bad person because she routinely kidnaps and mutilates animals, cutting them in half, turning them into cyborgs and for no adequately explored reason, slathering them in paint. It's gotten to the point that there's an entire hidden subtheme of sets dedicated to recovering, repairing and rehabilitating the animals that this absolute monster keeps getting her claws on; there are way too many "animal rescue" sets in the Friends-line, and it's all because Nova can't control her dark urges.

Mia was right to build her ranch as far away from Nova's house as possible, in order to keep Autumn and their horses safe. Also, the whole "murdering minifigures and preserving their skulls in my bedroom"-thing? It's neither sane nor sanitary. It's not right, man. We don't need these racial tensions right now, Nova's just fomenting war between us for evil's sake.

Anyway, cool shirt.

On the one hand, that skull was confirmed by the designer to be an Alpha Team reference, so may just be merchandise. On the other hand, this means Nova's an Ogel fangirl...

Your name is Nova. NooVa.

My name is Taylor. TaayyLor.

You say that as if there's something potentially concerning about having a giant LEGO minifig skull, which may or may not be full of Mindflayers.

SuperNova

Just from the minidoll? No. But when they released her bedroom as a set, I took one look at it and started wondering about that. Plus, at the time we were learning just how inclusive the new generation is, with one girl born with only one hand, I think someone else had vitiligo, and there was a lot more ethnic representation. It just seemed like something they might do at that point.

Plus, I'm imagining her being voiced by that sweetest of angels, Aubrey Plaza.
