==Production notes==
===Canon status===
Nicole was introduced as an unlockable character for the fighting game ''[[Wikipedia:Dead or Alive 4|Dead or Alive 4]]'', with a non-canonical in-universe backstory crafted to explain her presence in the game. Team Ninja originally asked to use [[John-117]], but [[Bungie]] declined, due to fictional constraints.{{Ref/Reuse|bnet}} Bungie and [[343 Industries]] have confirmed that Nicole is "based on a 'real' and properly defined Spartan", but her appearance in ''Dead or Alive 4'' is non-canonical. The extent of her character's canonicity remains unknown.{{Ref/Site|Id=343i1|URL=http://halo.xbox.com/forums/general/f/10/p/5486/48766.aspx|Site=Halo Waypoint Forums|Page=Canon Question to 343 About Nicole|D=31|M=08|Y=2011|Detail=2011 archive|Quote= She is based on a "real" and properly defined Spartan, but the appearance in the DOA game, for obvious reasons, is not canonical.

===Non-canon biography===
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>

==In-game information==
== Character Design ==
===''Dead or Alive 4''===
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.
