Empress Nicole/Relationships

The relationships of Nicole throughout Nefarious:Dimensions.

Emperor Nefarious
Emperor Nefarious is Nicole's self-absorbed but loving, doted father.

Nicole and her father have a cliché father/daughter bond that has turned sour after the Resistance were always trying to stop him. He then went on a conquest to vanquish them, putting her in charge of running the city with out him. Nicole cares a lot about her father, protecting him from attacks and or fighting beside him when the battle gets too out of control form him to handle. Yet she gets annoyed quickly when he gloats about the Resistance and talks about himself too much. She prefer to be out partying art the club then dealing with his problems.

Their relationship encounters a permanent falling out after he nearly kills Phantom, her saving him, which heightens his realization that she was never evil and on his side, declaring their instant arch-nemesis relationship.

After her father's defeat, she takes over as Emperor and Empress of the City, freeing it from her father's rules.

Phantom
Phantom is Nicole's ex-lover, turned boyfriend and former partner-in-crime during her time in the Resistance.



Phantom and Nicole met at Club Nefarious one night. Nicole, dancing and enjoying herself, bumps into a disguised Phantom who is undercover on a recon mission. When she gets him over to the bar, his cover is blown, leaving him to take off without Nicole knowing, heightening her curiosity. When they meet a second time the next night, she gets him alone outside on the roof of the club. They exchange introductions and Phantom trusts her enough to reveal himself under the guise. She is interested in his real intentions and meets him at Zurkie's the next day, where she meets Rivet and the other Resistance members.

Upon becoming a member of the Resistance, she was mostly with Phantom on undercover or recon missions. They bonded and became closer, eventually making themselves a secret base in the city, before their relationship became romantic, where they eventually became an object in the Resistance, getting the nickname "Undercover Doves", a nickname they approved after they became lovers.

However, as much as their relationship was strong, Nicole would eventually be forced to choose between becoming Empress, or staying undercover with the Resistance. Her decision was met with Rivet being angry and Phantom not knowing what it meant. When she addressed it to Phantom on her last recon mission with him, he was saddened with her decision, but stated that she would never stop loving him, even if it meant being her enemy.

After becoming Empress night's later, she eventually returned her jumper to the Resistance which, enraged Rivet and the other members, who showed instant anger toward her and continued her life as usual, going to Club Nefarious, knowing well aware that Phantom was always sneaking into the club, only to watch and spying on her, not that it bothered her.

When she believes that Phantom was killed (but really turned himself in, then being saved by Riley), she was heartbroken, blaming herself for letting him die at her father's hand. She then bumps into him at Zordoom Pirson, warning him about the Emperor, which ends in a fight between them, Phantom stating she "gave up on the one thing she loved most", being their future together.

They would reconcile in the finale once back in Nefarious City, getting back together.
