Name: Pandora / Nicolette "Nic" Yves
Description: Nicolette is at the ripe age of 24, she has jet black short curls, the tip of each curl dyed a Prussian blue. She is Japanese and African American with Scottish descent, which would explain her freckle adorned tan skin and light green almond-shaped eyes. She is about 5 feet 7 inches tall and though she has an athletic background, she is bottom-heavy, so she has quite the figure. She has a crooked button nose due to a fracture that occurred during a lacrosse match when she was 19 and large, round, uni lips, usually accentuated with lip liner and red lipstick, a beauty mark perfectly symmetrical on both corners of her mouth. Nic has 6 piercings on her right ear, while her left only has 2 where a tattoo of a simple star is inked beneath. Speaking of tattoos, she loves them but only has a few; the star underneath her ear, a pizza slice, arguably her favorite food of all time, on her left wrist, a seductress posed as an angel on her forearm and her latest tattoo, a detailed, entirely red Japanese inspired dragon, starting at the nape of her neck, spiraling down the left side of her back, ending at the thigh. Took about a month to get it done and boy, was it a pain in the ass, but oh is it so visually aesthetic to the eye.
Demeanor: People don't call Nicolette Pandora for no reason; she's a tough box to crack, and unless you know the code to her heart, you ain't getting anywhere near it... it also happens to be her stripper name. She's cold and mysterious, a gorgeous sight for anyone to dare gaze upon, people often tell her she takes their breath away, which she chuckles insincerely and carries on about her merry day. As previously mentioned, she isn't about romantics and compassion, she cares about getting her cat petted and securing her bags, hell, the last time she was in a serious relationship with someone had been in high school. She is drowning with sex appeal and is well aware of the power she possesses over men, which she uses for business and pleasure respectively. Though she keeps to herself at times, she's always up for a good time with bad people. Trouble is her biggest kink, she can't get enough of it, she radiates deviancy from the moment she opens her mouth.
Sob Story: Nicolette was born and raised as an only child in the worst parts of South Side, Chicago, destined to be a child of poverty and crime. However, she was nurtured to be better than what she may or may not see outside of her small, two-story home, and so, she went on to be a top student in every school she attended. Looking through her school reports, you would rarely ever see so much as a 'B'. Nic made it her goals to be successful in whatever she did and to get her and her family out of the South Side and, at the very least, to a better part of Chicago. She took up extracurricular activities like Language Club and Choir and then found a love for athletics. She started with joining the track and field team, which everyone expected her to excel at, and she did. Then, she wanted something more physical and challenging and decided to try her luck for the girls' lacrosse team. She fell in love with it immediately, even though she was pretty shit at it; she had little knowledge and no experience of the sport, but that didn't stop her from trying for the team over and over again until she was eventually accepted. From a bench sitter to a top-tier defender, she pulled her weight and proved to everyone that she could achieve almost anything.
During her sophomore year of high school, however, her father was killed tragically in a brutal robbery. This man who had loved and raised her her whole life, her best friend, killed for a quick hundred bucks and his wedding ring. Nicolette was distraught and blind-sided by the news, her mother in a rut of depression and sorrow, she had nowhere to turn to for comfort, not her friends or peers, not her teachers or her coach, people who've she's grown close to personally, not a single soul. She took out her pain and anger through lacrosse, her plays became more aggressive and selfish where she only cared about scoring a goal for herself. It led to a rather bloody match with an opponent where she got too cocky, thought she could pull a few tricks but ending up badly injuring her wrist and a fractured nose. Her wrist required immediate surgery and she found she could no longer play lacrosse anymore, the one thing keeping her distracted. Nicolette's desire to excel dwindled, her fire burned out and she fell victim to the life she was destined to have. She befriended a few bad seeds, fucked around with a couple of guys associated with gangs, tossed around like a rag doll, succumbing to the numbness and depression she was trying so hard to climb out of. She was no longer known for being funny, intelligent, top star Nicolette, but was branded a hooligan and a whore, her grades slipped and so did her connections.
The next stab to her wound and otherly, the start of Nic's grueling lifestyle, was the deteriorating health of her mother. Shortly after Nicolette graduated high school and entered college, her mother was diagnosed with stage 4 leukemia and passed away a short 6 months later. Nic was in shambles, the looming thoughts of death and self-loathing intensified and she could no longer function. She ended up dropping out of college, getting into heroin and met a gang leader, who taught her how to push drugs and fire a few guns. In short, she picked up on a lot of shit and decided to depend her life on this dude, who she ended up moving to Los Santos with. He promised her a kingdom, riches, and drugs for them to enjoy for life, until he falsely accused Nic of fucking around with other dudes and threw her out on the streets on her face, literally. Left to defend herself, she sold the only other thing she was good at; sex. She wasn't up for prostitution of course, but she, fortunately, met a few dancers who worked at the local strip club who took her under their wing and got her a job at the Vanilla Unicorn, where she coined the name Pandora. Though she had a nice job and made great money, it didn't fill the void nor the adrenalin she needed, so she sought out to cause trouble.
Pretty good at: Nic is an ace locksmith; she can pick a lock with her eyes closed and crack a safe in 5 minutes or less, something she learned and mastered thanks to the asshole she met back in Chicago. She's quick and nimble with her fingers as she is with her wit. When a situation gets sticky, she uses her appearance to get out of it...usually. Her ability to emotionally manipulate a man comes easier to her than breathing, she can make 'em do anything with the right motivation, the perfect con artist. She also has impeccable memory; you'd only need to give her the rundown once or twice and she's got it tacked to her brain. Thanks to her athletic background, she's flexible, agile and quick as all hell on her feet, she can outrun most cops and guards and put up an okay fight if need be.
Is able to do: When it comes to physical altercations, Nic can't necessarily fight but she's got the strength to match the power of a reasonably built man, so throwing a few punches can land out a woman or stun a man for a few minutes at best. She's also pretty good at wielding weapons, melee, firearms, you name it she's probably had it in her hands at one time or another. She's a decent shot with a handgun but her favorites are the fast spraying toys; assault rifles, uzis, machine guns, as long as the clips hold a magazine of 100+ and she can empty in less than a minute, she's all over it.
Sucks at: Driving. There are more than a few dozen times where Nicolette has encountered fender-benders and almost wrecked vehicles. Cars are not her forte, nor can she evade trouble in a vehicle if asked, so don't bother bringing it up. She also isn't great at keeping attention off of herself, not that she can help it, of course, she'd rather be invisible, but in a crowd of people, she sticks out like a sore thumb. She's more of a distractor than someone needing to be incognito.
Relationships: Ever since her gang banger boy toy threw her out on the streets of Los Santos, she's needed to build quite the cred for herself, so she's gotten involved with a few people here and there through her connections with the club, including the connection to a cop, Corporal Grimaldi. An apparent regular at the Vanilla Unicorn who got private dancers from the lesser popular girls, until he met 'Ms. Pandora'. It is definitely not the first cop she's had to deal with, especially at this circumstance, but he was one persistent motherfucker. Once Nicolette was able to perform private dances he was always the first one at her foot, it was safe to say, he fell under her spell like the other men there had, except he wanted to know her personally, for reasons Nic thought was to just get into her thongs. To sum it up, he's a pain in her ass, not that he isn't attractive, he very well is mouth-watering, but he was interfering with Nicolette's work and it caused the other girls a fit of growing jealousy for the girl, more so than before. It came to a point where Grimaldi only craved her attention, his money only worth to be placed in her hands. If she wasn't getting harassed by the green monster club at work and has a novel for a criminal record (not to mention her dealings with gang members) she'd happily snag his cash and have her way with him outside of work.
Problems: Outside of Corporal Grimaldi, sooner or later, finding out she's one hell of a rotten apple, her gang leader "boyfriend" will more than likely come looking for her after he's realized Nicolette knows more than she should about his operations to be running about Los Santos a free woman. Two men she has to figure out how to either impel alliance with or get rid of. Unfortunately, she neither has the resources or the manpower to do either and is hoping she runs into someone who would.
Addictions: Though Nic has trouble getting out of trouble, she thrives off of getting into it. Her heart only craves danger and thrill nowadays, nothing really gets her heart racing like a line of snow or robbing a jewelry store. Then there is, of course, the slight addiction to drugs and alcohol, her favorite prescriptions to a stressful day or an episode of insanity, which leads to a few hours of either exploiting men or getting into a safe or 6 and her having to seduce her way out of trouble.
