OVERALL APPEARANCE:
Nicole is pretty; her skin is a lovely tan and her hair is naturally curly. It's usually thrown into a bun and few people ever see her hair down. She dresses well; most days see her in something modest and cute. Many of her outfits are business casual, but she enjoys anything that shows off her figure while still being light and flowy. The only time she isn't in a skirt is when she's skating for a few hours. It's only then that Nicole wears shorts or jeans paired with a t-shirt of some sort.

OVERALL PERSONALITY:
Nicole, most days, is hanging by a thread. Perpetually cranky and annoyed, she's snarky and prickly with pretty much everyone. Even though she knows she should be kinder and nicer, it never seems to come out the way it should. But, honestly, Nicole almost prefers the distance. She knows that she has to be tough to get anywhere in life, especially in a world where her time and effort goes undervalued; if she's going to get anything she wants, she's going to have to do it herself.
BACKGROUND
HOMETOWN: Los Eurosia.
FAMILY: Strong and healthy relationship with parents, Grace and Aleina; favorite parent is Aleina. Admires and trusts her cousin, Deka Hurent. Dislikes her cousin, Red Ciranor.
PETS: None
HISTORY:
Nicole grew up in the suburbs of West Hook. Her parents did their best to raise her, even if she was a bit of a rebellious girl. Her mom, Aleina, owned a skate shop that Nicole adored. The speed and movement was thrilling and she practically grew up on wheels. It was her personal point of pride that she could outskate anyone in her neighborhood.
But as much as she loved it, it was pretty mundane. Nicole grew up, went to school, and graduated without much fanfare. Sure, she'd heard about Gifted- it was hard not to hear the rumors about the other special kids in her class- but they were always distant. They happened to other people.
That didn't stop her from being fascinated by them though. A part of her dreamed of waking up one day to fire sparking off her fingers or finding the limits of gravity broken. But she knew that wasn't going to happen; she was normal. If she were going to have a power, it would've shown up by now. If she had a gift, she'd use it for good. She'd be a hero to the people, just like in the stories.
Another part of her wanted to know how their powers worked. Why they worked. Why they got one and she didn't. Why they didn't help people. Why they weren't useful.
Things didn't change from the day-to-day grind until
Red Ciranor showed up. He'd needed a place to stay, and Aleina, ever the bleeding heart, let him in. Nicole disliked him almost instantly. He was weird and quiet, and he was sick. Sick with something beyond a cold or a fever- this was something else, something black and shifting that left prickling seeds behind.
Red didn't stay long- only a few days before he practically vanished without a word to anyone- but it was enough to unsettle Nicole. He had needed help, the kind that no one could give him, and he was wrong. He was changed, twisted and knotted from the inside out by his Gift.
His Gift. She couldn't stop thinking about it. What if she could've helped him? What if he hadn't been infected? What if he never had his Gift in the first place? What else could the plants be used for? She had to know.
This desire only fueled Nicole's choice of major; she went into STEM and found an internship with the Sector. She'd always wanted to work with Gifted after all. The only problem was that she'd gotten stuck with a bunch of boring paperwork with a bunch of people who made her want to claw her eyes out. But it was fine- Nicole always found solace in skating, and joining a roller derby team to blow off some steam helped. One day she'd get answers, learn from the best, and find out everything about the Gifts.
