Character: Nicollette Abernethy
Series: Original
Canon Point: N/A
Appearance: Image
History: Nicollette had no clue what she was as she was growing up. Her mother Iona Abernethy, kept a lot of things hidden from her. She doesn't know her father's name, just that she was a Cajun man that she met while living in the Louisiana Bayou and that he died in a car crash before she was born. She was given a French first name to honor him.
As a child, the two of them moved around quite a bit as strange accidents seemed to happen when she got around water. A lot of younger children seemed to get hurt when she was in the water with them, but she didn't do anything to them. At least, nothing that she could actually remember. As far as she knew, everything was normal for her childhood. Money was a bit tight as Iona was a single mother trying to raise a baby around rural coastal Louisiana and Texas.
Things changed quite a bit for her when she turned 17. She had her first real relationship with someone. She didn't know how long it was going to last, but things were getting serious for them. Or at least as serious as anything could get for a pair of high school kids. Then the accident happened. It was a group trip to Galveston Island and Nicollette and her boyfriend decided to go for a late night swim. Once they got into the dark water, Nicollette changed for the first time, becoming something that appeared to be half-horse and half-fish with sharp teeth and a silver bridle.
When she saw her boyfriend in the water, something overcame her and she bit down on his arm and dragged him into deep water, causing him to drown and then began to eat his corpse. When she finally regained her senses, she swam out of the water, suddenly changing back into her "normal" self. She quickly dug through her things that were still on the beach until she found her phone. She called her mother in tears, not knowing what happened or what in the hell was going on.
She didn't know how long she sat on the beach, waiting for her mom to arrive. When Iona finally did, Nicollette demanded to know what was going on and why did she do that to someone she loved. Iona explained to her that she wasn't fully human and that she was half-Kelpie. Iona herself was a full Kelpie and that she had been around for a long time. Nicollette learned that her mother had been forced to come to the United States by someone who had managed to get ahold of her bridle and thus gained control of her. Iona had no choice but to obey. Sometime later, Iona managed to get free and kept herself hidden in the Louisiana Bayou until she met Nicollette's father.
When Nicollette was born, she thought that she was going to be fully human, as she didn't display any real powers like Iona had. The accidents were strange and she was unable to explain them, but Nicollette never changed shape until this night. Iona explained that she could never let anyone take off the silver chain that she now had on. Iona helped her daughter call the police and then hid in the water as Nicollette explained to the police a tailored version of what had happened that night.
That accident still sticks with her 20 years later. After graduating, Nicollette, now going by Nikki, did her best to stay with her mother and live a normal life, but personalities clashed and eventually Nikki moved out, choosing to go to the Texas coast to go to college and start over. Iona, wanting her to be able to survive, gave Nikki some money to invest and use to survive from day to day. When she was close to 30, Iona faked her death, which allowed Nikki to inherit another sizeable amount of money. With that money, Nikki invested in a small cattle ranch outside of Victoria, Texas. She doesn't keep a whole lot, but enough to stay afloat along with her investments.
She lived on her ranch, selling the cattle and eating the occasional one so that she didn't try to kill another human again. When Clemmy found her and made her offer, she decided to take the woman up on her offer. She had nothing to loose and everything to gain by leaving.
CRAU: N/A
Age: 37
Plans: Nikki will do her best to help out with the farm, since that is what she really understands what to do. She's still afraid to get into a real relationship after what happened when she was a teenager, but hook ups she could handle. She'll gladly show others how to help out with the animals and maybe even how to dance as she loves going out to dance. It's one of the few things she liked doing to relax.
Arrival: Willingly.
