Facility
Nikki's Uptown Condo
Despite being rather small, Nikki's condominum is in a nice location in town, being located relatively close to the community college she attends. Despite belonging to a dryad, or perhaps because she doesn't have the sort of psychic powers some others have, while the furnishings are far better than college students normally would have, there's nothing particularly special. Except that's where her labradore puppy, Henry, is kept, and Nikki knows that everyone loves puppies, and readily can leverage this. While in her appartment, thus, Nikki gains +3 to all persuade attempts to positively influence somebody's mental state, such as relieving stress or calming them down.
Backstory:
Nick Howell was born to an up and coming officer of the US Army, and had a reasonably normal childhood, all things considered. A bit of a wild child at first, his father's stern discipline at least managed to tame him to some degree. Competitive at heart, his father enrolled him in a martial arts class so he could learn the spear; however, forbidden to use his training against the bullies at school, he simply build up a reputation and a method of scaring the crap out of people. By the time he entered his Freshman year of high school, he'd sold more pairs of new pants than most Old Navy salespeople, and nobody messed with him.
Despite stellar grades in ROTC and the fact most people saw him as 'being incredibly intellegent' he found most of the material boring since it was too easy to understand. While when he comitted himself to a test he usually did well, he usually didn't care. As a result, he did rather poorly in school. Still, he surprised many people by blowing away the SAT, since he, y'know, had to.
The strange mix of relatively poor grades and high SAT scores meant that while he wouldn't be allowed to attend a university the next town over, he'd be allowed to take remedial courses. Still, his father wasn't pleased with the results. It took a while for his father to decide the punishment, but it was still decided on. He made him go on a long hike through the forest midsummer, waiting for him at the top of a hill. And by long hike, he meant several days. He was given easily enough water, but he'd have to forage or hunt for food.
The second day, his initial ration was gone. It wasn't due to poor planning; again, his father wanted him to have to scrounge himself, make the boy work for once. The problem is that his father had forgotten he wasn't especially competent at survival skills. It was then that he found a tree with strange fruit on it. Nick had no idea what it was, but what he did know was that it was food, and he'd never heard of a poisonous fruit tree. The rest of what happened on the hike was unimportant, but he did make it out okay.
For the three weeks, Nick found himself hungrier. Not knowing what else to think, he figured it was that hike, and simply ate to his content. Things then got worse; phantom pains got worse. He might have died, if it wasn't for the fact the army base's doctor was actually a metabolist. The doctor had initially thought it was a simple disease, until the green extremeties were spotted. The doctor knew his chances weren't good, but decided that his duties at least waranted trying... and the fact that Nick's father was pretty high up in the chain of command at this point.
The doctor wasn't sure whether he succeeded because of pure luck, his own skill, or Nick's own tenacity. All that he knew was that Nick had survived. Unfortunately, he had hoped that it would either be a cure or turning him into an Oread... none of those happened. Nick had beaten the odds 100 to 1 and survived... turning into a dryad... and a girl.
Nick's father was, of course, absolutely baffled. No disease turns people into a girl... Nikki, who had come back to lucidity realizing she had a different set of parts than usual, was absolutely shocked as well. Both wanted answers... so the doctor had to spill a lot of beans that day. Nick's father took it well, but Nick was rather stunned. Still, with the next semester coming up, things had to be taken. Paperwork was filled, strings were pulled, old army buddies were told to pretend like Nick had always been a girl. Nick, for all intends and purposes, became Nikki. The community college was the next town over, so few would even start putting two and two together.
Appearence
Nikki has fair skin, green eyes and lips, and black hair cut in a short, gender neutral style. She cuts an absolutely stunning figure, though her clothing doesn't take full advantage of it. She can be seen wearing punkish-looking denim jacket with a black shirt, as well as jeans and black tennis shoes. Her overall outfit is meant to give the impression of a tough girl. While it definately screams 'tomboy' her overall outfit doesn't immediately 'out' her as being a butch lesbian.
