History: Born in the north to a Body Guard, Nikki learned a great deal about her father's area of expertise. 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 scimitar and armor she uses now. She has drifted from career to career and currently works as a Body Guard.
