Nicholaa is a Tsareena with some Eldegoss genes.

Since she was little, Nicholaa always held the Lustitia Knights - the peacekeepers and guards of the kingdom she lived in - at a high regard. Since her father worked at a pub where many of such knights would frequent to after their shifts, they would enrapture her with tales of their great exploits and deeds. One day her father nearly got mugged while traversing through a dark alley, only to be saved by Lustitia Knights who recognized and followed him after he entered said alley. After hearing her father explaining what happened to her mother, Nicholaa vowed that she would join the knights so she can protect people like they do - when she got older of course.

Although at first her parents thought it was a passing exclamation, Nicholaa proved them wrong as she started training herself as she got older. She would ask several knights to teach her skills whenever they can, the accumulation of knowledge and the speed of the growth of her skills further invigorating her and her ambitions of joining. Upon reaching the minimum age required of joining the knights, she immediately applied.

The training of the Lustitia Knights is harsh, requiring intense discipline as well as be able to learn many skills for combat and tactics. Due to her past lessons, she aced the training and immediately earned the eye of her superiors - particularly the Captain of the Lustitia Knights. The captain took Nicholaa under her wing and personally taught her swordsmanship, a skill that is considered to be one of Nicholaa's weakest traits - despite the fact that she could beat any of her peers during sparring matches. Upon becoming an official Knight, Nicholaa would work tirelessly in order to ensure that she would give everyone her best, constantly pushing herself to get better as well as make sure that those under her charge would be safe. As years passed, Nicholaa would quickly climb the ranks of the Knights before eventually reaching Vice-Captain.

Although Nicholaa has easily adapted to the leadership role, the requirements and additional workload has been unkind to her due to her intense (and rather unhealthy) work ethic, leaving her always exhausted. Her efforts and how she treats everyone however has made her extremely popular and loved by both the knights and citizens of the kingdom alike, due to how she considers every problem too small - in which this mindset is also responsible for Nicholaa overworking herself.

Recently Nicholaa was informed of an infamous Pirate Queen, how she and her fleet would attack countless merchant ships and heavily weaken the businesses in the kingdom due to lack of trade and import. With permission of the Captain of the Lustitia Knights, Nicholaa took part in the naval battle against the pirate fleet with the sole purpose of boarding the captain's ship and taking her on - which ultimately led to Nicholaa successfully beating and subduing the Pirate Queen Xiulen after an intense battle. After Xiulen was tried for her crimes, Nicholaa was assigned to closely keep an eye on the ex-pirate as part of an agreement Xiulen made with the authorities of the kingdom - said decision both confusing and infuriating Nicholaa. Although against the idea of Xiulen roaming free - even under her watchful eye, she vowed that she would fulfill the task that has been given her and will give it her all. Although she suspects that the reason she was given such a task was to give her a break from her duties as Vice-Captain, or perhaps the reason could be something else...

In combat, Nicholaa is an excellent swordswoman. Her skills in swordsmanship is almost unrivaled, the only one surpassing her being the Captain of the Knights herself. Her sword skills however are not her greatest skills in her arsenal, for the thing that greatly surpasses it are her legs. As a Tsareena, her legs possess immense power, her kicks being strong enough to deliver blows that can cave in stone. With the metal leggings she wears it makes her a truly terrifying opponent when she uses her legs, the armor allowing her to easily go up against others with weapons. Although she primarily uses the sword - due to the fact that it is the standard weapon of the Lustitia Knights, she would sheath the blade and start fighting with her legs when she feels that her opponent is strong enough to warrant use of such limbs.

Note: The reason she defeated Xiulen is due to her using her legs. Although the two has come to better terms now as they've been part of Yingtai's adventuring group for a while, she can immediately make Xiulen cease any sort of defiance or rowdiness by simply getting into a kicking stance due to the ex-pirate's newfound fear of them.

Note 2: Although she doesn't know of Alessandro's role of an assassin, she does have suspicions of him due to her noticing him disappearing during moments the group would be busy or distracted with something for an extended period of time.
