===Non-canon biography===
In [[2552#October|October 2552]], Nicole-458's unit was preparing for a classified mission on ''[[Nassau Station]]'' when the ONI stealth ship {{UNSCShip|Apocalypso}} tumbled into real space – being carried along in the wake of a freak [[Slipstream space|slipspace]] [[Slipspace anomaly|anomaly]]. The anomaly intersected ''Nassau Station'', creating a semi-stable "bubble" in the space-time continuum on its way back to the 21st century. For the time being, Nicole-458 is trapped in the 21st century; she guards ''Nassau Station'''s secrets with anything but lethal force, as she realizes that killing someone in the past could have dire consequences in the future. She waits for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully return her to the year 2552.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}}

Nicole's movement controls were originally modeled on the character Bayman's set. Designer Tomonobu Itagaki realized a simplistic and effortless palette-swap would be boring to both fans of ''Dead or Alive'' and ''Halo''. The Bayman moves were then treated as a starting point until the designers reinvented the Spartan as a unique and exceptional character with every move in her arsenal paying homage to a Halo move. In keeping with the idea of [[English]] being the language of the UNSC, Nicole is the only character in ''Dead or Alive 4'' who speaks English, although she occasionally speaks Japanese. When a taunt is used Nicole smacks her fist into her open palm and activates active camo.
