Backstory
==== Nikela grew up in the outskirts of Mount Olypus were she,her siblings and her parents lived until they moved to darkstar.While there they did mostly everyday work around the landscape while also training in the mountains.She and her family became close friends with zeus because he noticed how good they were with thier fighting maneuvers and because she and her other siblings were close standbys of him.At the age of 6,he offered her a place amongst the gods as a warrior of the stars but she quickly declined the offer when she realized that it meant she had to leave her family.So they continued acting as agents of zeus.4 years after that,at the age of 10,came The Great Noise which was a battle amongst the 12 gods(Zeus included)that lasted for 2 weeks and caused unexplainable damage to the entire mountainside and damage amongst their home.This caused them to move a week after to what was formerly charles home,Darkstar Galaxy.It just so happened that at the time they moved there,charles and his family were living there in the neptune mountain ranges.While there at the age 12,she had an incident where she was by herself and 5 guys were trying to take her away.These guys ended up being the group charles once hung around but abandoned named The Archers Of Neptune.Of course she could fight on her own but nikela didnt learn how to use and control her powers until 15 years old.So she always improved on her hand to hand combat techniques.In this situation though they had weapons and power she couldnt match.After putting up a good long fight,she couldnt hold up any longer and accpeted her fate and gave out.At the moment they were about to take her out,a mysterious person comes out of nowhere and ferociously starts defending her in a tense 1 on 5 battle.The guy ends up defeating them with no sweat broken as he turns to help her up.After being curious of his nature because of growing a strong liking towards him,she kept asking who he was until he eventually shows his identity as it comes to show hes one of her kind.An angel.She introduces herself to him as he states his name.Charles Barbera Prieston.After getting to know alot about each other they quickly became the closest of friends.Over the short amount of time they saw each other according to nikela,they started to date each other at the age 14 and a quater.Also according to her if it wouldnt have been for her dragging him to meet her family,she would have never met his.However it was a few months later during this time that charles was about to start his journey to becoming a Raider Of Starlee.4 months after meeting each other it was time for charles to leave as he prepared and trained himself while being with her.As he prepared to go,the 2 hugged and wished each other the best of luck as afterwards he left.While he was was gone,she started thinking about ways to effectively use her powers and strength for a much larger purpose.Her dad being an former operator for zeus had persuaded her to join the force.So in a likely way to charles situation,she was randomly going through military sites that were hiring but didnt see any options she liked.Thats when she remembered that charles family were all members of an elite multi-angel force.She got word from charles oldest sister Jaxxsen that they train teens at her age and up.After telling her mom and dad she wanted to join they went ahead and allowed her to do so.So at the age 15,she joined the SAW to serve in the force.After Babarossa seen how much of a killshot she was in basic training,she offered her an oppurtunity to join the scout sniper platoons by going through sniper school at Fort Xexsly.3 months of going through it,she became highly effecient at long range rifle,camouflage,stealth and H2H training and became one of the top heavy support weapon specialist(machine guns)while there.Seeing how fast she became with these skills earned her the rank of second in command and top sniper.After 2 years of brutal training and learning at the age of 17,she comes back home to her parents and they move to earth for peaceful reasons.Her brothers and sisters on the other hand moved to thier own areas staying close to mount olympus to continue fighting for zeus.They moved to loyalton where they settle in and start living.After 2 months pass an old friend of hers and his family comes to loyalton as well.After changing his hairstyles and maturing its hard for her to recognize who he is as he thinks the same way about her.Once the 2 realize who each other are they greet each other with complete happiness.Both of the 2 more than excited to meet each other instantly pick up where they left off talking about what experiences they've been through.After about a year,the 2 start teaching each other their strengths and weaknesses and how to build them up and helped each other unleash thier true powers while battling in operations and fighting demons from the underworld.This not only makes her and charles strong but it exposes some of their most vunerable and darkest fears and weakspots to each other which in return stengthens both thier relationship bond and their powers.Even though they've been together for over 200 years already,she ends up getting betrothed to charles at the age 24(engaged for those who dont know),and she ended up having a child by the name lauren at the age 372 which is 3 years prior to the series start. ====

Appearances
==== Nikela most noticeable body feature is her hair.Shes most commonly seen with her signature bed headed hairstyle which is a very dark brown almost the color of soil.She shares the same exact style as her mother does with the exeption of her mother having more curls.However,nikelas hair has went through 4 changes since birth.Starting at the age of 6 up until 14,she had a uppercut type fade with 1 long bang in the front,3 on the left side and 4 in the back which was commonly seen with a bandana.After turning 15 and joinig the saw,she changed her style again.Luckily for her the saw doesnt cut their hair in training which allowed for her to grow her hair out into the bed head style she has.This was the first time she wore that style.However,she quickly grew tired of the style because she felt it was getting in the way of her sights during sniper training.This resulted in her cutting her hair for the first time into a tomboyish style.She cut it into a short boyish fade style and dyed it red on the top leaving the rest her natural color.She feels that it contibuted to why she became such a great sniper in the field.She wore this style up until 17 years old before leaving the saw to go home.At the age of 18 after a year after charles returned and they started teaching and training each other,she changes her hairstyle once again.But this time it was based off of emotional feelings.Learning her new abilities and power levels made her feel like a great and well built up fighter whom could win many battles.Her mother noticed this due to her behaviors and simply stated to her that "If theres one way other than clothes and body expression a woman can show how shes feeling,its her hair."She took that into conclusion and did just that.Cut her hair again.Particuarly though,this specififc style sparked an very big problem within her relationship with charles and amongst her dad and all 3 of them together.It wasnt until she had this style that charles found out she was,yes in fact,a "Closeted" Leb whom was in the process of "Coming out".Charles and her father Rocky spotted this by instantly noticing how she cut her hair,the small right ear cuff and the 1 earring on her left ear.This caused charles to get a little angry because he felt she didnt tell him all about her even though he exposed his deepest feelings and secrets towards her.He started feeling if she didnt tell him things like this than what else would she hide from him.However,she noticed it really didnt bother charles simple of fact because he still kept on dating her as he said he didnt care because he doesnt judge people which is sort of a sin for angels and that if everyone can change for the better so can she.He eventually forgives her right off the bat and drops it.She says he is one of the main reasons she "came out of her shell" and stopped being that way.It really angered her dad specifically towards charles because he felt it was his fault due to him leaving her and she "Went off to experiment" with other "Gynes".This very argument is what started the love-hate relation between him and charles.However,just like charles he still had to forgive because of the thoughts with sin.She was afraid that coming out would do the very thing that happened.Cause a bad explosion with no possible fixing.Hince the term closeted meaning she didnt really want anyone to know at all.Her mother didnt mind it because she said that if thats the way she is than so be it because its what makes you "you".So through ages 17 until 22 she wore that hairstyle with no shame once so ever.This gave charles a heavy proned affection than what he already had towards her because he felt he had something very "special" to have and work on.At the age of 24,the year she and charles got engaged was a very unrealistic event for her family,charles and pretty much everyone in the entire angelic realm that knew them.Why?Charles was surprised he was even dating her from the start.Everyone else was so surprised how charles had turned her from that side to the "new her".This would be referenced throughout the series as sort of a gag question asking charles,"How did he do it? He would reply"I dont know" in a unsure tone.At 25 she changed her hairstyle for one last time.This style ended up being her bedhead style.Why did she choose this style.After all the events of being disliked and witnot,she was careful on how to choose it as she didnt want anymore "unecessary arguments" arising.When she cut it into this style she was highly confident that it was right for her because it wasnt to "the old her" and not to feminine but just the right combination between the 2.Who knew that a single womans hair could have such an impact on everybody huh? ====

==== When it comes to nikes clothes its a totally different ballgame.Her hair might have been a strong situation but her clothes however she doesnt care what anyone thinks.From most appearances she usually seen wearing some form of boy like clothes which hints back to her old self.Her most commonly seen outfit is the one in this background.Its her variant of charles main combat outfit but modified to her liking.Its made of a cool and light adaptable fabric which keeps her cool in hot situations.It has green outlines on it to show off her favorite color. ====

 * Nikela is a assertive/aggressive person.This is well confirmed by most things she says and alot of her actions which is shes quick to get hostile in a antagonistic conflict or always ready to "end" someone in combat when necessary.It can also be confirmed to how many times shes knocked charles down for unecessary reasons or just for humor.This is complimented on by babarossa as she states that it is perhaps what makes her such a good sniper and operator but can also be her downfall from times as she does have a tendency to let her aggressiveness "blind" her making her do subconcious actions.Thats why when she was freed after being framed for the Regicide of King Brouhaha(The killing of a king)and the saw and AUCC utilized it as a Crime of Passion(A crime done do to sudden feels of rage or lost impulse control rather than a motive),which is babarossa told her they all thought it was very true because of her somewhat striking and explosive personality and the many actions she does on a daily basis.This perhaps also helped her learn to control her anger tendencies.
