She once played basketball during their culminating activity in Physical Education. She was drafted to join their school's women's basketball team, but she declined due to her academic priorities.

She was a former band vocalist performing gigs at night in a local pub. She performed until her junior year in college, when she needed to quit to focus on her studies.

Not a Pokemon enthusiast but likes Espeon due to its cat-like appearance. Nicci is a cat person.

Solianna Imogen - Nicci's mother figure. Their bond started through mobile games circa 2020.

Wren Atticus - Nicci's bff. Met through Yanna. Her gaming bestie since 2024.

Yara Miciela - Introduced by Wren, they became sisters when they started to play Valorant together.

Trigger Azure - Nicci's "Tito" since he's Yanna's brother. She likes to call him OTITS. They play Valorant together with Yanna, Wren, and Yara.

Axran Anduieah Idriesh- Her Thomasian friend. Attended the same school and organization. Still great friends, although they chose different career paths.

Yago Claud - Her favorite librarian, who bakes one of the best baked goods. He helped Nicci during her college days, and that made her always visit the library, mainly for his cookies.

Jacques Beau - Kuya Bo is her kuya pogi. He was her senior in the Rehab Sci department at UST. Didn't expect to meet him again through Wren. Nicci gets free coaching from him for the NPTE.

Nehemiah Alain- Met through a common friend. He's also friends with Bo and Wren. Nicci and Miah became close first due to his demure and friendly demeanor. Miah helped Nicci to approach Bo when she needed help with NPTE preparation.

Juneau Yves - Jy and Nicci met first during Nicci's internship year, where she volunteered as one of the paramedics during their school's intramurals. Nicci aided Jy with his ankle sprain obtained from playing baseball. Their paths crossed again when Wren referred Jy to Nicci for a video edit commission.

Elian Scythe - Nicci's Kuya Sais. Met through common friends and coincidentally found out that he's her nephew's pediatrician when she accompanied her nephew on one of his follow-up check-ups.

Arsene Hemlock - Lock's friends with Miah, Bo, Wren, and Jy. They introduced him to Nicci during their Discord call. They became friends when they both found out that they both play Valorant. Nicci's another gaming buddy.

Scarlette Avril - Nicci’s elementary classmate and childhood friend from Cagayan de Oro, now based in Davao City. From Grades 1 to 6, Scarlette was Nicci’s self-proclaimed mortal enemy, a tactless, brutally honest kid who never knew when to shut up. One particularly heated (and ridiculous) clash landed them in the guidance office after Nicci lightly stabbed him with a pencil and Scarlette hit her back. When he asked why she did it, Nicci snapped, “Kay bayot man kaayo kag baba!” (Because your mouth is way too foul!) The pettiness of it all made them laugh—and somehow, that became the turning point. Their rivalry turned into an unlikely friendship, growing stronger when Nicci defended Scarlette from his bullies. From then on, they were inseparable until graduation. Nicci cried hard when Scarlette returned to Davao for high school. Years later, they reconnected during Nicci’s senior-year vacation in Davao, and since that day, they’ve stayed in touch.

Zahida Ezraaliyah - Scarlette’s cousin and an unexpected addition to Nicci’s circle. The two were introduced when Scarlette visited Manila and arranged a casual meet-up, not knowing it would spark an instant friendship. Zahida and Nicci quickly clicked, their bond growing beyond Scarlette’s presence. Before long, they were having late-night talks and sleepovers, even on days Scarlette wasn’t around. What started as a simple introduction turned into a genuine, independent friendship built on comfort, trust, and shared moments.
