Background

Ava was a quadriplegic for twelve years, orphaned at the age of 7 when her mother died in a car accident involving them both. Nothing is revealed about her father other than that “he is not in the picture,” and that they didn't have any family in Spain, where she and her mother were on holiday. She was taken in by St. Michael's Orphanage, where it is shown in various flashbacks that she was mentally and verbally abused by her caretaker, Sister Frances.

According to Ava's file, written by her caretaker Sister Frances, Ava committed suicide by overdosing on painkillers , however, it is later revealed near the end of episode 4 that the overdose was administered by Sister Frances.

During the first episode, A sister places the Halo artifact inside the corpse of 19-year-old Ava to keep it protected. The holy relic resurrects Ava, and gifts her with her abilities.

Physical Appearance

Ava is a slim, young Caucasian woman in her late teens, with notably rounded features. She has a light tan skin tone, straight brown hair reaching beyond her shoulders, but above her bust with honey brown eyes. Her hair can look blonde in the sun. Despite spending almost all of her life paralysed she is in relatively healthy shape.

Personality

Best of Ava Warrior Nun Netflix

Ava has a very complex personality, she is highly curious, naïve, with very limited experience of life due to her very restricted early life, however, is capable of showing kindness and consideration towards others as shown with JC and Beatrice, as an atheist, she believes that she doesn't have the right to serve God or The Church and can do whatever she wants, therefore is rebellious against the church and their pleads to help them. Later on, however she does exorcise demons out of people and tries to rid the world of demons for good, (as an associate of The Order of The Crucifix Sword). She also pledges to become the last Warrior Nun to stop many other girls from dying in agony. She goes from being self-absorbed and selfish to a courageous fighter and believer in God.

Powers and Abilities

• Shock-Wave: Able to make a shockwave if under enough stress
• Phase: With the holy relic inside of her she is capable of phasing through walls and objects
• Healing: Ava's body is capable of healing faster than an average person, however, she is vulnerable to Divinium.
• Enhanced Strength: Ava is much stronger than a normal human. She is able to knock a grown man across a room with a single tap and without intending to.
• Levitate: Having the ability to levitate in times of need, or when asleep.
• Physical Invulnerability: As seen when Lilith first trains with her, Ava can become completely immune to physical attacks. When she first returned to life, Ava was shown shortly after to be able to withstand a truck hitting her with enough force to plow her through a building which she was able to withstand mainly in one piece.

Relationships

JC

The two first met when Ava jumped into a random swimming pool on a residence, then called for help (as she didn't know how to swim); JC appeared out of the house, rescued Ava out of the pool and then fed her at the garden table. He agrees to let her stay at the villa for a few nights, which he and his acquaintances are borrowing from a rich couple from Saudi Arabia. Ava becomes attracted to JC from first sight, and the two develop a sexual attraction, never developing romatic feelings. However Ava leaves him whilst the two were on the run, when JC witnesses a demon coming to Earth and taking Lilith with it.

Beatrice

The two really connect when Ava sits next to her during a monastery meal, the two chat about former Halo wielder, Sister Shannon. The next day Ava is reprimanded by Mother Superion, leaving her crying, she speaks and is comforted by Beatrice. The two grow closer to each other and Beatrice provides emotional and intellectual support, the two also working closely together when they infiltrate the Vatican. Their connection becomes evident when Ava is the first person to whom Beatrice clearly tells that she is different from the other nuns (She is a Lesbian). From then on their connection becomes even stronger, during their time together, Beatrice says that Ava is the first person who does not try to make her something that she is not, then, their connection strengthened (with hints towards Ava's bisexuality in future seasons), evident later when Ava exhausts her powers saving Bea from rogue nuns, then they shared a private smile when Ava is injured. Later in the season the hints of mutual attraction become more evident, when Ava tells what she really fears to Beatrice who resppondes that Ava will never again be alone and then they tenderly hug after Ava finally manages to phase through 20 feet of concrete, when they share a sweet and tender moment after Beatrice reads one of the entries in the Warrior Nuns diaries, then in the catacombs Ava and Beatrice involve themselves in joyful banter, displaying the continuous development of their relationship.

Mary

Mary came across Ava's corpse, when she and the other Nuns were fighting Assassins who eventually murdered her best friend Shannon, just before she died, the halo was removed from Shannon., a nun handled it in a pair of mental sticks and then placed it into Ava's body, it brought her to life. Since then, Mary worked hard to protect Ava and lead her in the way of becoming a warrior nun, despite her refusals. She also follows and works hard to track Ava down during her rebellious adventure away from the monastery, even paying for a portrait of her and asking people of her whereabouts and sustaining injuries along the way. Despite getting off to a bad start, Ava comes to respect Mary for her strength and bravery.

Lilith

They did not get along so well since Lilith has a grudge against Ava. When Shannon died she was to be the next halo bearer but she couldn't as Ava was revived by the halo and removing it could kill her. This, along with the encouragement of Duretti, made Lilith attempt to kill Ava. She fought with Mary many times in trying to kill Ava, but when she finally caught up with Ava and was going to kill her, a Tarasc 'demon' appeared and took Lilith to 'hell' (it is unclear if Tarascs are from hell or some other realm). When she returned, she accepted that Ava had the halo and apologized to her. Lilith is later revealed to have gained powers, thus making her the only other human currently having powers.
