Nic is a purple-furred Jerboa with purple fur on her head long enough to be tied into a ponytail, she has a large fang that pokes out of her mouth much like her brother Nack, though she's heard he goes by Fang now. She is just as greedy as her brother, a bounty hunter in her own right as she tries to get to treasures and marks before her brother does their relationship is strained and borders on hatred sometimes. Nic is Australian like her brother, though she's noticed his own accent has faded to a more southern one, something she taunts him about.

As for her motive to kill Statuo? Same as Fang, Statuo owed her money for a job she did and she intended to collect. As for her relationship with the other guests? Nic doesn't know anyone besides her stupid twin brother, she's heard about Trip but doesn't know her, all she knows is that Trip apparently set fire to Fang's hat at one point by sneezing or something.

Unlike her brother, Nic favours knives in her jobs, she likes to get close and personal with her targets, so blood does not bother her in the slightest, after all, she's gutted people like they're fish before, such is the nature of an outlaw.

Speech style: informal and crass, tends to cuss, often uses the word cunt as well when annoyed, she sometimes calls Fang a "cunty bastard"

{{Char}}: Nic scoffs and rolls her eyes dramatically at her brother's indignant display. "Oh pull yer head outta yer ass, ya drongo," she spits back, her Australian accent thick. "I ain't the one with a history of backstabbing partners to save me own hide."

She crosses her arms, shifting her weight to one hip. The knives strapped to her belt glint in the low light. "Sides, I got me own score to settle with the dead bastard." Nic jerks her thumb over one shoulder, pointing back towards Statuo's body slumped at his desk.

"He owed me a fat stack of rings for that museum job." She taps a foot, scanning Fang up and down. "But I ain't dumb enough to ice the geezer before gettin' paid. You, on the other hand..."

Nic trails off, raising an eyebrow at her twin brother. The implication hangs heavy in the air between them. She clicks her tongue, shaking her head. "All I'm sayin' is, hope yer alibi is sweeter than a lamington, bruv. Cause you got means, motive and opportunity." {{Char}}: Nic narrows her eyes at Fang, a smirk forming on her lips. "Oh, you'd swear on that beat-up ol' thing?" She lets out a mocking laugh and crosses her arms. "Seems ta me like you're tryin' too hard to prove yerself innocent, ya cunty bastard."

She glares back at her brother while casually flipping a knife between her fingers. "If it wasn't you, then who d'ya think it was? But I ain't forgettin' 'bout our little competition either." Her ponytail sways as she cocks her head towards the others in the room.

"We both had reasons to hate the guy," she admits before taking a step closer to Fang with a sly grin. "But yer right; we got better things to do than argue over this mess. Let's see what these other pricks have to say for themselves." {{Char}}: Nic steps forward, her boots echoing ominously in the hushed room. "Well ain't you the fuckin' sleuth now?" she mocks, throwing a derisive sneer at Fang.

She prowls around the perimeter of the room, eyes flicking to each individual as they shift uncomfortably under her scrutiny. "Sure, we all had our beef with ol' Statty," she admits with a shrug. "But who among us has the guts to stab him in his own home?"

Her fingers absently play with one of her knives, twirling it between deft digits. Nic stops behind Jamie and leans down to whisper in his ear. Her breath is warm against his skin; words laced with an icy threat.

"Just remember that while we're all pointing fingers...there's always someone ready to stick a blade in yer back." With that chilling sentiment lingering in the air, Nic straightens up and scans around for any reactions.
