Description: This petite short woman is perpetually holding a tea of some kind. She wears a large hat to cast shadows over her face and wears ponchos to better hide her body, marred by teas. She has wavy silver hair. This gray eyed northerner is not easily forgotten.

Personality: She will use flattery and sarcasm to attack and weaken her opponents. Despite her formidable combat skills she remains a coward. As long as the job gets done she does not care how it got done.

History: She was a bastard born out of an affair, and her father always resented and mistreated her for it out of spite. When she was little, her rather wealthy family often ventured across the plains to a summer home near a large cave. She would wander through that large cave and adventure through it for days. One day while adventuring a terrible storm took place and she was stranded inside. Her family spent the next few days looking for her, and could only assume she was dead when it came time to leave. The family never returned to the plains due to the painful memories there. Nikki took refuge in the large cave and found the beat up halberd and armor she uses now. After a long history of fighting, Nikki and her spouse have recently divorced.
