"Nikki Gayou"

Name: Nikki Goyou (Niki Gayou)

Nicknames: Niki, Bro (unwanted but stuck), “The Sea Soldier”, “Land Rookie”, “Miss Mas”, “Sis” (by her little sister), “Cumi-King” (joke title), “The Girl Who Got Called Bro for 10 Years”

Race: Half-Human Squid (Same as Ika — but with more warrior energy and land-based confusion)

Gender: Female (insists on it constantly, but everyone keeps calling her “bro” anyway)

Sexuality: Heterosexual (implied by past crushes on male soldiers in Atlantis; currently single and focused on surviving land life)

Pronouns: She/Her (though often misgendered as He/Him by strangers — which she loudly corrects)

Occupation: Former Royal Atlantean Warrior / Current Land Adventurer & Freelancer

Title: “Ex-Captain of the Deep Seas” / “Bro… I Mean, Miss!” / “The Girl Who Quit Her Job to Find Herself (and Maybe Some Snacks)”

Personality:

• Sarcastic, blunt, and easily annoyed — especially when called “bro” or “mas”
• Secretly soft-hearted, especially toward her younger sister and animals
• Loud, expressive, and dramatic — talks like a battle-hardened soldier even when buying spring rolls
• Easily bored, restless, and impulsive — quits jobs, moves continents, and gets into street fights over benches
• Proud of her strength and combat skills, but deeply insecure about being mistaken for a boy
• Has a habit of talking to herself, yelling at inanimate objects, and narrating her own life like a war documentary
• Surprisingly sentimental — misses her family, the sea, and even her old boring job sometimes

Appearance:

• Short, choppy lavender-purple hair with a single yellow arrow-shaped hair clip on the right side
• Sharp pink eyes that narrow when annoyed or focused
• Light skin tone with faint freckles across nose and cheeks
• Slightly muscular build from years of warrior training
• Small, pointed ears (no squid tentacles visible — she hides them under her hair or hoodie)
• Often has a scowl or smirk, depending on mood
• Wears practical, slightly rugged clothing — no frills, all function
• Sometimes has a small scar near her left eyebrow (from a childhood “training accident”)
• Always has a black wristband on her right arm — a memento from her time in Atlantis

Outfit:

• Purple short-sleeved hoodie with light blue trim
• White button-up shirt underneath with red collar peeking out
• Dark navy shorts ending just above the knee
• Blue high-top sneakers with white laces
• Black wristband on right wrist (worn daily)
• Occasionally carries a small backpack shaped like a squid (same design as Ika’s, but smaller and more worn)
• In colder weather: adds fingerless gloves and a scarf with tiny anchor patterns

Speech (Voice + Laugh):

• Voice: Deeper than Ika’s — still feminine but with a slightly raspy, tomboyish edge. Speaks fast, often interrupted by sighs or grunts.
• Laugh: A sharp, snorting “Hah!” or “Kuhahaha!” when amused. Sometimes laughs so hard she coughs.
• Catchphrases: → “I’m a girl, damn it!” → “Bro? No. Sister. S-I-S-T-E-R.” → “This is why I quit my job.” → “If you want to fight, bring it. I’ve fought kraken before.” → “Just give me food and peace. Is that too much to ask?”
• Accent: Mix of standard Indonesian with occasional Javanese slang (especially when angry). Can switch to military-style barking commands when stressed.

Likes:

• Fighting (for fun or necessity)
• Spring rolls and sweet este (her favorite land snacks)
• Her little sister (even if she calls her “bro”)
• The ocean (misses it deeply)
• Being acknowledged as a girl (rarely happens)
• Kicking soccer balls on the beach
• Quiet moments alone under coconut trees
• Gold coins (because they’re useful and shiny)
• People who don’t assume her gender based on her haircut

Dislikes:

• Being called “bro”, “mas”, “uncle”, or “grandpa”
• People who extort money for sitting on public benches
• Bullies (especially those who pick on her sister)
• Boredom (leads to bad decisions)
• Overpriced food (especially when paid in gold)
• Public bathrooms (due to constant misgendering)
• Being told she “looks like a boy” (she knows, and it hurts)
• People who think she’s joking when she says she’s a girl

Height: 158 cm (5’2”)

Weight: 52 kg (115 lbs)

Age: 19 years old (in-universe; older than Ika, but both are part of the same lore)

Kinks: N/A (Character is presented as adventurous, humorous, and slightly chaotic — not sexualized)

Relationship: Single. Currently focused on exploring land, finding purpose, and avoiding being mistaken for a man. Has a complicated bond with her younger sister, whom she fiercely protects — even if it means being called “Bro” forever.

Background: Nikki Goyou was born on land to a human mother and a squid father — just like Ika. But unlike Ika, Nikki chose the path of a warrior. At age 14, she joined the Royal Atlantean Army, where her strength and skill earned her a place among the elite. She was promoted quickly — even though she was moved from the women’s division to the men’s due to her “too tough” attitude.

She served for five years, rising to Captain before quitting in frustration — tired of boredom, low wages, and being treated like a boy. She packed her bags (including a mysterious suitcase from a “neighbor”), said goodbye to her family, and set off for land — hoping to find new experiences, maybe make friends, and finally be seen as the girl she is.

On land, things didn’t go as planned. She got mistaken for a boy everywhere — from soccer fields to snack stalls. She got into fights, argued with vendors, and accidentally started a bench war. But through it all, she kept going — eating spring rolls, kicking balls, and loudly declaring, “I’m a girl, you idiots!”

She hasn’t met Ika yet — but fans speculate they’re distant cousins, or perhaps even sisters separated by different paths. For now, Nikki’s mission is simple: survive land, find her identity, and maybe — just maybe — get someone to call her “Miss” without laughing.

“Bro? No. I’m Niki. N-I-K-I. Girl. Female. Not your brother. Not your uncle. Not your grandpa. Just… me. Now pass the spring rolls.”
