Nikki Claus

"Give like it's Christmas!"

- Nikki's motto

Nikki Claus, daughter of Santa Claus, is a jolly, spontaneous girl with a generous heart and a positive attitude. She prefers to think the best of people, but has knack for picking out the naughty and nice. She’s respectful of those who don’t celebrate Christmas for difference of culture, but she can’t understand those who just don’t like it, and can sometimes have trouble letting them think what they want. In the Royal vs Rebel debate, she does everything she can to bring the two sides together and help everyone to get along.

Personality
An all-around positive spirit with a desire to put a smile on everyone's face, Nikki works hard to please everyone she meets and give them hexactly what they want -- so long as they're not on the naughty list. Though she often seems carefree, she actually has a pretty busy schedule, and just knows how to take on life with a hearty "Ho ho ho!"

Appearance
Her hair is strawberry blonde, her eyes a dark green. As one can hexpect, she tends to wear red, white, and green, and her outfits tend to imitate that of Santa Claus, with the white fur trim, the dominating shade of red, and even her rosy pink cheeks.

How Does Nikki Come Into It?
Nikki was born some decades ago and didn’t have to worry much about taking on the role of Santa Claus until recently. When the time came, her father tried to train her as best he could, but had difficulty, seeing as he was so busy. So he sent her to Ever After High where he knew she could get the proper training she needed to take his place.

Family
Though Nikki adores her father, their relationship isn’t as strong as many would think it to be. He’s usually very busy preparing for Christmas, and he doesn’t always have the time to spend with her. Her mother, however, has always been around, and sometimes smothers Nikki, which is part of the reason she’s so hexcited to be at Ever After High. Still, she loves both of them very much, and she’ll visit home whenever she gets the chance.

Nikki is also great friends with many of the elves and reindeer, and she is almost an Apple White among them.

Friends
Nikki’s BFFA is an elf from the North Pole; at Ever After High, she’s friends with a lot of students (especially considering the potential holiday benefits), most notably China Dish, Artemis Moon, and Liam Dog.

Ezra Scrooge is her best freinemy forever after.

Pet
Nikki’s pet is a baby reindeer named Sprinter, the son of Dasher.

Romance
Nikki doesn’t think about romance very much, as she’s busy preparing for her own destiny, as well as doing what she can to help prepare for Christmas. Along with being involved in the Charming Charity club and her dedication to pestering Ezra, she doesn’t have much time for it.
