History
Nikki's past is pretty basic, aside from her off and sporadic personality. Her mother was a stripper just trying to pay her way through college, and unexpected things happened with a giant whale sea monster named Cestus. And thus she was born, but she was nothing her mom was prepared for. She was never forced to go to school at first, but her mom's co-workers all looked on her fondly and made sure her mom was doing something for her. They were all like motherly figures when Nikki came by right off the school bus, and she would draw scribbles and pictures in the dressing room while her mom and the others did their thing. The teachers weren't quite so fond of Nikki bringing in drawings of stick figures on poles, but she would not be hindered. There are no boundaries for art!
Her brush with the Roman side of life was when she almost drowned at the beach with some of her crazier school peeps, but a shark carried her to shore. Her friends, not as amused as she was. She learned then that she could talk to the sea creatures, and she had a lovely conversation with a jellyfish all about who she was. Or what she was, as Romans around camp put it when she was picked up and brought to Camp Jupiter. She hadn't thought that being a half-monster was so different from a demigod, but she quickly learned to keep her mouth shut. She picked up an affinity for reading to sate her desire to constantly open her mouth and say things. But everytime she did that, she got weird looks. She didn't like those looks.
She was actually reading a book by the water when the attack happened, and she nope'd the hell out of there. No one seemed to like her much anyway, why stay? So she went full James Dean, rebel to the max. And it's been tough on her. Jobs in an ordinary world never panned out. She does what she can, but by any means she will get by.
Personality
REBEL - she doesn't really understand the concept of boundaries, and she doesn't like being told she has to keep to those boundaries. She's a free spirit, and likes to be treated as so.
WICKEDLY INNOCENT - she has a tendency to say something wicked with the most innocent intentions. Innuendoes are another concept she doesn't completely grasp when she's saying them, but she picks up on the ones others use. While she herself is not innocent, her demeanor is deceivingly so.
MENTALLY UNHINGED - As a follow-up on her wicked innocence, she's off her rocker. But it's very subtle, and hard to notice. She could torture someone gladly without really understanding the gravity of what she is doing, and she can have the most genuinely innocent face while she's covered in someone's blood. Nothing is too extreme for her not to do, the real question is how much of it she really understands the weight of.
SMART - Despite her adversely naive behavior, she is very smart. Her way of thinking is just a little bizarre, as her thoughts process differently than everyone else's. For example, when someone walks in a room and sees someone strapped to a chair and bleeding, they think that he's been tortured. Her first thought is on the device that he was tortured with. She skips the basic thoughts and progresses straight into more complex theories and possibilities, and she's very philosophical.
INSECURE - She's socially awkward and she knows it. In fact, she mentally beats herself up about it after she scares someone off. She can't really process why she's bad with people, and it frustrates her to no end. Physically she is not so insecure, and she likes to express that with her many tattoos that she shows off. It's only when she opens her mouth does the insecurity sink in, yet it's hard for her to be quiet.
Powers & Abilities
SEA-CRITTER SPEAK - she talks to the sea creatures, one and all. She can pick up vibes given off by animals also, mainly primary instincts like fear or in a shark's case bloodlust.
SEA SAVVY - She is a true natural on a boat of any kind. Her sea legs work better than her land legs, and she is one hell of a swimmer to boot. She's a true sailor at heart, but she prefers the term pirate because her tattoos look cooler when she's a pirate than a sailor.
