NiCO

NiCO is the code name for a MIST scientist and Pencak Silat fighter debuting in Dead or Alive 6. A master of tech and weaponry, NiCO is an intelligent and somewhat immodest scientist who fights with electro-shock gloves. She was recruited by Victor Donovan to helm the latest project for M.I.S.T., and had enough fighting prowess to be a threat to the ninjas, although she had her own personal reasons for undergoing the project. NiCO is fairly short in stature, having pale type skin and having a pretty average body size with an average bust and more petite body measurements, making her one of the smaller females in the roster. Her primary attire possesses a white and blue color scheme and consists of a white top with blue trim, as well as an ID card on her left breast. She also wears blue shorts and has a blue shirt underneath her white top, as well as white socks, arm braces and thigh high boots with blue trim on the heels. She also wears blue fingerless gloves and wears three rings on both hands, which seem to be the source of her electric-based powers. She has teal hair cut into a bob with bangs on the left side held by her pink or yellow hair pins, green eyes, and wears blue-framed glasses with a majority of her costumes Like most of the other fighters, her hairstyle will change if she is the victim of a break blow. In her case, her glasses are removed and she loses her hair pin, making her bangs fully cover her left eye. Her other outfits are similar, having a casual outfit that has suspenders with a skirt and matching open blazer over her high waist leotard and also a fur lined coat with a matching beret and boots. She has a few unique hairstyles ranging from her hair in a more spiked style from the back and she can later tie her hairstyle into a ponytail with her work out DLC costume too. Despite her young age, NiCO is a scientific genius, but is also shown to be asocial and somewhat arrogant, as evidenced by her stating to Christie that she has no reason to explain herself to the latter when she attempted to question her motives for doing MIST's experiment. She seems to show very little emotion, remaining composed and very calm in various situations seen thus far. The only instance where she demonstrated any emotion was when Helena called her out on trying to revive Maria, where she ends up stammering in shock, anger, and sadness and even attacked Helena with her lightning gloves when the latter tried to restrain her. She is also somewhat snarky and arrogant towards her foes. Despite generally being asocial, she is capable of gratitude, as she rewarded Kula Diamond with a lollipop for providing her with "interesting data", under the condition that the latter not mention anything that transpired. Although working for MIST, she has absolutely no loyalty to the organization, and only saw them as a means to an end regarding her experiments. Her motive for working for them in reviving Raidou was because of her family history: she never knew her mother due to the latter abruptly abandoning her, and her father died while she was still young, which ultimately crushed her enough that she desired to find a way to revive the latter. She seemed to show a level of empathy for those who had suffered the same, pitying Kokoro for her sadness over her mother's abrupt departure, and also implying her efforts to revive Helena's mother were due to her empathizing with Helena's loss and thinking this would help her.
