Noviophobia is an irrational fear, aversion to, or jealously of others' relationships at large, especially of potential romantic partners already being in relationships. Noviophobia is derived from the Spanish word "Novio" (meaning boyfriend) and Greek word "Phobos" (meaning fear); This strange word was featured in an issue of Nintendo Power in a fan letter regarding the 2004 Nintendo DS game "Sprung", and it was also mentioned in the 2004 Sonichu newsletter "Sonichu's News Dash!".
To make a long story short, I developed a fear that all the pretty girls are already paired up with a boyfriend. I’ve dubbed this social phobia, Noviophobia, after the Spanish word for boyfriend.

Very dedicated to their personal health, Novi’s are super strong, devilishly smart, and motivated to succeed. You may misread them initially as a homebody, however nothing can be further from the truth. Novi is always up for an adventure, though you will sometimes have to work at it. Novi’s have a very deep spiritual connection which is a big source of their strength. They have some of the toughest skin you’ll find, but take care not to really hurt them or you will wind up regretting it FOR-EVER
Novi is an amazing baker and cook, but you probably already know this if you’re lucky enough to have one in your life. They are typically super sweet and always going out of their way for others. You won't learn this right away, but Novi's have some of the funniest humor you'll ever experience. Their sarcasm is sometimes so dry you might even miss it, but under all those layers of serious hides a hilarious wit.
If you happen to become romantically involved with a Novi you'll quickly learn they're some of the best cuddlers in the world. On top of this, they drip sex appeal and will probably be one of the most incredible lovers you'll ever have! But the best of all is when you see a Novi smile – their genuine smile and laughter is guaranteed to melt the coldest of hearts…
