Appearance: Standing at 5'8'', Nikka is taller than the average female, but certainly not heavier. Weight-wise, she's just your average, curvy woman with the luck enough to be blessed with American thighs(not to mention the backside to go with them). Her eyes are blue, a very piercing blue when combined with the dark shade of brown that her hair is. The nearly black tresses spiral below her shoulder blades, and every strand has more volume than a concert amp. She's beautiful, in a very haunting way. There's always a look in her eyes that give the intriguing idea of an exciting story to be told, a secret to be shared, and maybe even out of an act of pity.. a wish to be granted.
Personality: Simply put, she's very secretive. Because of this, she gives off a very cold, unforgiving vibe, as if she's holding a grudge against humanity. Though that may not be the case, she does act it out of lack of trust in anyone, and lack of faith in the creatures that roam this planet. Due to the lifestyle she lived(and gave up), she's very paranoid, and very cautious about everything. Every action, every word, every idea, and every move is always thought out and analyzed into nothing before all is said in done. She WILL manipulate to get what she wants, she WILL steal to feed her child, and she WILL kill to protect what she's fought for so long: a sense of freedom. She's no joke and she's CERTAINLY no one to test. Nikka has been cursed with impatience and intolerance and will never fail to bite or knock someone's head off should they provoke her. All her life, she has fought. Through her pain, through her sadness, through her rage, she has fought for a peace of mind.. and no one is going to ruin that for her, especially with the strength she's gained emotionally and mentally due to her life's downs. At first impression, her soul is restless and her heart is violent, but once the wall is broken down, she's kind and giving should the person be worth what she's got to share.
Special abilities/talents: She's an excellent painter but she rarely does so anymore. Taking care of her daughter and continuing to paint has proved to be a difficult task, so she seldomly picks up a brush.
Supernatural Affinity: She is very fond of vampires, a couple of them being distant friends. And by distant, I mean, staying away when they're fiending for blood.
Species/Group: Human.
Power(s): She's psychic, blessed(or cursed, so to speak) with Empathy & Psychometry.
Level: Empathy, level 4. Psychometry, level 1.
Affiliation/Rank: ---- Preferred Prey: ----
History: Nikka basically raised herself, living off of the streets after leaving home when she was around fourteen. A lot of traveling was done until she was taken in by someone who grew to become her best friend. After a couple of years, she stabilized herself enough to get everything together and become independent, not needing the help of others. Through this, though, there was a lot of fighting and bitterness in her life that has caused her to be who she is today. She has seen a lot of blood, a lot of death, and a lot of angst in her years. Marriage, heartbreak, and divorce has come and gone, leaving her with a five year old daughter by the name of Maria. She's the only thing Nikka has ever clung to since her husband left her and it's probably going to stay that way 'less someone with the balls enough to try and get close to her changes it.
Inbetween Maria's birth and Maria's third birthday, there was a car accident that she was involved in that left her with a couple of odd gifts it's taken her a while to adjust to. At first, they drove her damn near insane, and that feeling of emotional exhaust led her to seek knowledge about the things she was experiencing, which also helped her strengthen one of the main gifts bestowed upon her. It has taken a while but she has finally come to accept them for what they are and has chosen to use them for good rather than neglect and ignore them altogether.
Flaws: Nightmares, Dissociative Amnesia, and Severe Depression. The Dissociative Amnesia causes the random nightmares and the severe depression, often reminding her in her dreams of things she has blocked out due to emotional trauma, which triggers the depression. It is sort of like a domino effect.. a very bad, repetitive one. She'll have the nightmare, wake up in tears remembering what happened, and go through the severe depression before the Dissociative Amnesia kicks in and she blocks it out once again. Repeat process.
Merits: Even though she left her past behind- there's one thing from it she clung to, and that would be her ties with the black market. She, herself, used to be a part of it but decided to give it up for the sake of Maria. Being close to people involved in it all, still, though; leaves her with her ties. All of her merits, as well as her flaws, are very closely related. The common sense comes from the dealings with it all- you must have at least that- and through her years involved with it, her common sense and street smarts became more and more established.. along with the intuition for danger. It isn't hard for her to determine the honesty or the dishonesty in a situation and should she need it, she's acquired the intuition for danger that keeps her for the most part, out of harms way.
