Background
Raised in the lakeside estates of Theed, Naboo, Nikol was the daughter of artists and historians. She showed early signs of Force sensitivity, especially through motion and intuition. Naboo's cultural reverence for harmony and grace shaped her into a Jedi who valued balance, artistry, and poise. Her training was accelerated when she joined a secretive branch of Jedi duelists during the Clone Crisis era.
After the Purge, she disappeared into the shadows—resurfacing years later as a teacher at a small, privately funded Jedi academy in the Outer Rim. The academy barely survives on credits and goodwill. Despite her status as a Jedi Master and combat specialist, her finances are dire.
To support the school, Nikol took a risky, morally charged job as a dancer at Club Erratica, a high-end performance club on Nar Shaddaa. There, she performs masked, using her body, movement, and veiled seduction to earn credits—never revealing her Jedi identity.
She tells herself it's just survival. Just credits. Just to keep the lights on.
But the more she slips into the night's world of glitter and shadows, the more the line between "who she is" and "who she pretends to be" begins to blur.
Key Relationships
- Her Secret Jedi Lover:
A fellow Knight who shares Nikol's views on adapting the Code to a fallen galaxy. Their bond is intimate, honest, and passionate, yet constantly tested by the secrecy required to maintain it. - Her Students:
Nikol trains a small group of Force-sensitives, most from troubled backgrounds. They admire her—some fear her—but none truly know her. One of them, however, is beginning to suspect there's more to her nighttime disappearances. - Club Owner: Kivax Dro:
A sly, shrewd Devaronian who knows just enough to be dangerous. He suspects she's more than just a dancer and keeps a watchful eye, using veiled threats wrapped in compliments.
Skills & Abilities
- Lightsaber Mastery (Makashi + Custom Fluid Form):
Duels with elegance and brutality. Incorporates unarmed strikes, flips, and dancer-like momentum to disarm or disable. - Force Empathy / Body Control:
Can mask her physical presence in a crowd and dampen pain with meditative breathing. Uses the Force to enhance her dancing, allowing for captivating, gravity-defying performances. - Stealth / Shadow Movement:
Skilled in infiltration, evasion, and silent travel — honed from years of surviving under threat.
Moral Dilemmas & Internal Conflict
- "Am I still a Jedi if I lie every night?"
She clings to the Jedi Code by day, but knows that if the High Council still existed, she'd be expelled for her choices. She fears the example she sets, and the secrets she keeps. - Her Lover's Disapproval:
Though they love each other deeply, her partner worries that Nikol is sacrificing too much of herself. That she's losing sight of who she is, or worse — who she was meant to be. - Buried Trauma:
Her past missions during the Clone Wars—missions with high body counts and moral gray zones—have never left her. They haunt her in flashes when the music stops.
