Appearance
Nicky is an average height, heavyset, dark-skinned Black woman with freckles on her nose who is fond of wearing purple and often wears a (Not pictured) white mob cap or wide-brimmed hat, while Kendra is a short, thin, and pale [East Asian] woman who tends to dress in black and white with some yellows. Both are dark haired with dark eyes, and Nicky has some freckles on her nose.
Personality
Both are generally pleasant natured individuals and tied at the hip to the point that Chiyo has jokingly compared them to Tandemaus. While still outwardly pleasant, Nicky is the more introverted of the two, and often needs to recharge following extended social interaction, whereas Kendra is more of an extroverted jokester. However, the nuances of their personalities aren't always apparent to those who don't know them well, who tend to lump them together.
Biography
Both Nicky and Kendra were born in 1991 and grew up in Unova, albeit in different parts. While Kendra's childhood remains mostly unknown save for often visiting Easel Town for holidays due to her family hailing from there, due to Nicky's Auric abilities allowing to see things others could not, she was often treated as a freak growing up and became a loner. She met Kendra for the first time in college and bonded due to not only a shared interest in the paranormal, but becoming Fallers sometime around the early years of the J-Team's rise to prominence.
At some point after making it back to the OU, they joined the Oasis, going to a cell based in Wyndon, which was where they met Chiyo during the time of the second Skybreak. They managed to break through her initial standoffishness, and the three became essentially an undeclared throuple by the time Tagg first met them all in 2021. Following that meeting, they assisted Chiyo when she came to their apartment injured following her duel with Louise, only to get kidnapped a few days later by Gerald the Caustic for their odd abilities and to punish Chiyo, necessitating she and Dactyl rescue them from the Air Train with the help of Anguis, Ovis, Tagg's Azumarill, and Draca. During that time they managed to free themselves, Goldvoice their guard into letting them go, and free their fellow prisoners, before running in Chiyo's direction. After facing and being defeated by Burst Heart-user and Aura Vampire Hortensia the Spider when she'd wrapped Chiyo up, they witnessed Chiyo eliminate both her and Gerald.
Since then they've been mostly staying out of conflict, but have come to Chiyo's side when needed, such as during her Grand Trials and the makeshift funeral she held for Vana with Tagg.
Abilities
Nicky is a Classical Auric with an advanced variant of Aura Sense that allows her to not only peer through walls, but see rifts that she and Kendra use to travel between the Nine Realms and their numerous subplanes, as well as between places on the Material Plane. Kendra is a Dark Obscuric with some illusion capacity, but can help Kendra locate destinations with her directional Aura Sense.
Kendra is also a Heart of Gold capable of using Goldvoice as a negotiation tool to get them out of trouble. Both are also masters of stealth, Nicky combining her SEP Fields with Kendra's powers to travel more or less anywhere without notice, to the point that it can seem that they appear out of thin air (Which with the rifts isn't necessarily out of the question). This is how despite not being inclined to combat and being competent but ultimately average Trainers at best, they can travel to even the most dangerous places unmolested in most instances.
Relationships
- Get along well with their fellow Oasis cell members.
- Are essentially Chiyo's girlfriends in a polyamorous throuple, and amongst her closest confidants, though she's reluctant to call them that due to her issues regarding Curium. It was through Nicky in particular that Chiyo learned how to open and close rifts. They often refer to Chiyo as "our Chiyo."
- Are good friends with Tagg, regularly collaborating on arcane knowledge even without Chiyo being around, though they make a point out of avoiding "J-Team stuff" due to not being fighters.
- While they've yet to meet Channah personally, Chiyo's stories about them have not painted the best picture of her character in their minds.
- Kendra is a member of the prominent Tsuchimochi clan based within Easel Town, though she is Unovan by birth.
- Kendra will sometimes run Mystery Science Theater 3000-style riffing nights with Abe and Stewart after having gotten acquainted with the former following their meeting for Chiyo's Melemele Grand Trial.
- Took a strong liking to Iris when they first met, and helped her catch Bulbal in a Tera Raid battle.
- Knew Trill from their visits to Treasure Town, though they never met in human form until the aftermath of Iris getting injured by Eric and being placed in a Levincia hospital.
Achievements
- Freeing themselves on the Air Train and freeing their fellow prisoners aboard.
- Helped catch Bulbal alongside Iris.
