grace: but i definitely flirted with him to get him to buy me drinks

nik: oh, so you're a legend?

nik: was he at least cute, or was it shameless, obvious exploitation?

aloha ( LAURA HARRIER ) ! oh, i’m so sorry. it’s actually ( NICOLETTE BRAUN ). the ( 22 ) year old is a ( COOK ) at the mahina resort. ( SHE ) identifies as ( FEMALE ), and also is considered to be ( OPINIONATED ) & ( SPIRITED ). lately, she has been caught listening to ( LOOSE LIPS by KIMYA DAWSON ) on repeat and is usually labelled as ( THE INCENDIARY ) because ( SHE HAS BIG IDEAS FOR A MORE LIBERAL FUTURE ). 

alright so this is nik

the biggest thing you have to know is that this girl is always right in her mind. and she’s fucking stubborn. she hates apologizing (though if she’s REALLY wrong, she’ll think on it, and eventually will begrudgingly offer an apology because it’s technically the ‘right thing to do’ (she will not like it))

she’s super passionate, pretty blunt, she’s always judging to make sure that you’re not over-stepping (white cishet men are people she’s incredibly cautious of, but she’ll call anyone out if she feels they’ve got it wrong) but her heart is definitely in the right place. she just wants progress. she wants equity (vs equality).

nik has a silver-tongue, too. she can talk her way into anything and talk her way out of anything, and then talk circles around you for no reason other than she wants to.

she’s a pastry chef! and she WILL fight you if you call her a baker, or anything else, as she worked very hard for her title as pastry chef - ‘not to mention, that’s the correct terminology’ - she went to culinary school for four years in the u.s. and is FRESH out. mahina was the first place that accepted her, so she took it as a sign to stay home while she became more familiar with her craft. four years at culinary school but no experience just yet is scary, after all.

nik is adopted (as i’m sure you’ve guessed). she was adopted super young (will come back to edit this later after rita and i have done some more plotting) and as much as she loves her adopted family (ADORES them. absolutely loves them with every bit of her being) growing up different to them and seeing the way she experienced the world around her so differently was what sparked her interest in revolution and fighting the system. 

in her free time, she runs a political blog. she protested, went to marches, got involved where she could, while she was in the united states for culinary school. that’s the one part of her life that she misses -- being involved in the politics back on the ‘mainland.’ she knows that one day she wants to go back and make a difference, but for the time being, mahina is still calling her.

don’t ask her to bake/cook for you. don’t do it. if she loves you, she’ll do it on her own, but if you ask her, expect a less than savory response.

she sounds harsh (and she is) but ultimately, if she loves you, nik loves you, and she’d do anything for you. she’s as ride or die as it gets. and she genuinely cares about everyone. her ultimate goal in life is to make sure that everyone gets to lead a life worth living, and is happy and healthy and given opportunities to succeed. she wants that for everyone, even if she doesn’t necessarily agree with you/like you.
