Nove used to be part of the Galra forces. She was just another soldier out on the battlefield like the hundreds of others that sacrificed themselves for a lie. All those years of training and she never got over the guilt she felt when following through with destructive orders.

Sometimes her commander would force her and her team to burn or bomb innocent villages just because they wouldn't bow to Emperor Zarkon. It never felt right to her and she was always the last to comply. Even after she’d had her life threatened she still felt like what they were doing was the opposite of the 'peace' Emperor Zarkon promised them and their families.

Nove’s family - her wife and brother - were the people she wanted to protect, and she felt sympathy for the men and women who died trying to protect their families from the Galra forces.

Nove was severely injured on the field shortly after she’d had a fight with her commander. Her arm had been crushed by a fallen wall and she was stuck. But the commander forced her team to leave her there because she wasn't following orders as blindly as the others.

Kolivan and his team found her after a few days and offered her help, and in return she’d join with the rebels in taking down Zarkon’s forces.

At the time she wanted revenge. she wanted to conquer Zarkon’s empire and take what he took from millions of innocent families. Force him to endure the pain of losing his family. But then she met Keith, and talking to him with the other Blades made her realize that revenge would just make her stoop to Zarkon’s level, and she wanted anything but that.
