==Biography== | ==Biography== | ||
[[Image:Vegasbackdrop.gif|thumb|left|Spartan 458 in a duel]]Bungie has stated in its December 13, 2005 Weekly Update that "Nicole was born in the year 2531 in the city of [[New Legaspi]] on Mars. At six years of age she was abducted by agents of the [[Office of Naval Intelligence]] and conscripted into the Spartan-II Program." She is from a later group of Spartan-II soldiers than those led by [[John-117]], who were born in 2511. Nicole has Type O blood, is of Filipino descent and likes [[Halo-halo|Halo-halo]]. She enjoys watching [[Anime]] and participating in Competition Shooting. She prefers close quarters combat. | |||

In 2552, "SPARTAN-458's unit was preparing for a classified mission on [[Nassau Station]] when the ONI stealth ship Apocalypso tumbled into real-space – being carried along in the wake of a freak [[slipspace]] 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; guarding Nassau Station's secrets with anything but lethal force (she realizes killing someone in the past could have dire consequences in the future) and waiting for the "bubble" to collapse and hopefully return her to the year 2552. It is unknown how Nicole somehow received Mark VI MJOLNIR armor along the way."<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&cid=7349 Building a Spartan]</ref> | |||

== | == Character Design == | ||
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<ref>[http://www.1up.com/do/previewPage?pager.offset=1&cId=3145772 Interview with Tomonobu Itagaki] - November, 2005. </ref>. In keeping with the idea of English being the language of the UNSC, Nicole is the only character on DOA4 that speaks English, although she occasionally speaks Japanese. When a taunt is used Nicole smacks her fist into her open palm and activates active camo. | |||
