![]() Nichol meets the party- Rain, Lasswell, Fina and Lid-as soon as they arrive on their airship. When the Aquapolis is beset by monsters, Nichol goes in search of Luka so she can purify the city's defiled waters. Nichol was saddened to hear her say that, but accepted her choice. In Memories from the Aquapolis, Luka told Nichol that she was willing to do anything to protect the crystal, their family and all the people. Praising his kindness, he encouraged Elle to find his own way to be strong. Nichol rebuked his younger brother's desire to be like him, and told Elle he should just be himself. Elle said he wanted to be a great tactician just like him, even if he had to use their line's forbidden magic to alter his own personality. Nichol (who believed Elle was not suited to a warrior's path) was disappointed at Elle's decision. One day, wanting to do what he could for their country, Elle joined the army as a soldier in spite of swearing to Nichol that he would never sign up. Their brother Elle grew up feeling inferior due to not possessing their talents, but the three were very close. While his sister Luka became the Water Priestess, Nichol became a tactician for the army. He had to act like one of the adults and prove himself a worthy successor to the line-to protect Olderion and the Water Crystal. Still, Nichol is "a natural born lady-killer" (as dubbed by Jake), stealing the hearts of women with his kind and straightforward nature.īorn to the ancestral line of the Warden of the Waters, Nichol was raised in isolation from other children his age, and had to study many books on magic as a young child. Although Nichol believes Jake to be "perverted, lecherous and licentious", he does find this friendship fruitful and Jake's lady-killing techniques amusing, though he has no interest in using them to seduce women. ![]() Nichol develops a friendship with Jake, with the latter teaching him his experience in love affairs. Nichol softens to an extent as he interacts with the rest the party, although his stoic remarks remain a constant. After learning of her circumstances and with encouragement from his friends, he reconsiders and is able to move forward. In fact, when they are negatively affected by Veritas of the Waters' actions, Nichol develops a grudge against her, enough for him to lose his otherwise calm composure and display uncharacteristic violence. Although his dedication to his duties means that he needs to disregards his own feelings – even those he has for his family –, Nichol does care for his brother and sister and is far from emotionless. While he is strict and "difficult to deal with" according to his brother Elle, Nichol always puts his duties as a Warden of the Waters first, always choosing the greatest good for the greatest number.ĭue to him being an excellent tactician, Olderion soldiers have absolute faith in his abilities, although some consider him to be a "cold-blooded tyrant". Nichol is usually serious, knowledgeable and detached, but can be rather harsh towards those he considers too careless, for which he is often misunderstood as a cynic.
