Name: Nicole (Nicki) Taylor

Age: 23

Degree: Bachelor of Arts - Fashion and Apparel Design

Short description of character's outwards appearance: Nicole (or Nicki) stands tall at 5 feet 8 inches and even taller when she wears high heels (which is often and the height of these shoes tend to be outrageous). She is also quite petite at 130 pounds. This fashionista enjoys adorning her body in the most stylish clothes from her favorite designers and is rarely caught in anything else -- she has a budding fashion career to uphold, after all. Every morning she spends anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half making sure that she looks perfect. She does her makeup heavy, going all out with contouring, black eyeliner and extravagant eyeshadow. Nicole takes pride in her facial artistry and always insists that she will never need a makeup artist when she attends fashion shows. That's only half the battle however. The blonde spends a great deal of time every morning curling her hair into flowy curls that drape down her back. At nights, if going out to a night club (which she does often on the weekends), she will usually go for even greater extremes. She will darken her eyeshadows, add fake eyelashes, and always dare for a chic short dress that may or may not cover her entire bum. When she comes to the house, she will still uphold her appearance until bed, often not yielding to anything other than exchanging her high heels for smaller pumps.

Short description of character's personality (including any skills/weaknesses they have: Nicole is very extraverted and always loves to be the center of attention and can't stand being alone. Some would claim that she has a bubbly happiness that brightens the many lives of those who cling to her vibrant personality. Some, however, see her happiness as very shallow and annoyingly loud. She tends to be spontaneous and doesn't think things through, which may be the reason that she always strikes people as a flirt. Nicki doesn't hold back with making suggestive remarks, but she never means to really encourage anyone. She always tells people that she's not looking for a relationship because she needs to focus on her career. She is confident and adventurous. The woman, who grew up as a Californian from the good ol' US of A, jumped at the chance to attend a fashion academy in Sweden so that she could explore a completely new place. These are a lot of her good traits, but she has a variety of bad ones. Firstly, she is not the brightest bulb in the bunch. She has a knack for fashion sense, but not much else. She doesn't really put things together very quickly and is lost on anything sciency or mathish or englishy or history-ish or... yeah, anything that is of any significant brain power. She can do the basics and that's about it. Decision making isn't a strong suit either because she is so spontaneous. She is the first to go down a creepy corridor without fear. Also, she can sometimes be a bit of a bitch when she's angry, frustrated, confused, or just not getting what she wants. 

Anything else important: Nicki works out often to maintain the figure that her field requires so she could be athletically strong, swift, or durable. She also tries to eat healthy food like salads, granola bars, parfaits, etc. She cheats when it comes to chocolate, however, she can't stand to live without it. In addition she has a hobby of photography on the side, but nothing terribly compelling. She mostly does it to make perfect fashion photography with the best filters, showcasing mainly her. Still, she has the capability to take photography as well with her camera if something interesting catches her eye. Oh, and she is also an ardent feminist.
