A no-nonsense chemical engineer from Australia, Sharon was not at all interested

in this Nova schtick until she was offered an unbeatable deal working out her

study program as an intern for a Dr Shelton Wilberforce at Oxford. He would

essentially pay her way, so long as she was available 24 / 7 for his research.

She had no plans that competed with that in her mind, so she kissed her family

goodbye, dumped her boyfriend of three years and moved to England. She later

found out that they had met at a conference a few months before his offer and

that she knew Dr Wilberforce as a rather odd duck indeed. Still, she did the

work she was assigned, which was simple indeed in most cases, never really

suspecting that he might have chosen her for some other purposes, not even

after her ‘surprise’ Eruption with strange molecular-disintegrating powers and

the power as well to re-knit severed atomic bonds.

She ended up keeping some of her talents secret, since even though she tries not

be a selfish person, she knows that her Healing talent especially would never

bring her a moments peace if it came out. Working with a new group of US

researchers (after Dr Wilberforces rather abrupt disappearance), Sharon has been

recommended to train with a team of her fellow Novas, which is hardly her idea

of an ideal situation. She is not a superhero, nor does she have any desire to be

one, wishing that her powers would go away so that she could return to her

original scientific studies. But, never one to hide from reality, she is doing what

she must to adapt to this Nova thing. And the commercial applications of her

talents are dazzling between her abilities to rebuild or destroy organic and

inorganic materials alike…
