Nicole Franklin enters the Bay like a whirlwind, bringing in her flashy car, designer clothes, and high maintenance attitude.
As a 17 year-old spoiled princess, the feisty young teen instantly stirs things up at home and with the boys. While Nicole might come off as a bitchy princess to most people, she’s not malicious. She’s simply as shallow as a puddle, and while she might cause others emotional pain, it’s totally unintentional. She hasn’t got the empathy to even realise what she’s done. Nicole is a girl who lives to have fun, and she is fun if you accept her for who she is. And, of course, she thinks you’re worth her attention. Nicole is a girl who knows exactly who she is and where she stands: at the centre of the universe.
It’s not her entirely her fault though. The result of a very young union between Roman and her mother, she was raised mostly by her grandparents, and spoiled rotten. She’s been praised all her life for being a pretty little princess, and she’s never had the need to develop into anything more. She sees her mother as more of an older sister than a parental figure, but that’s never been a problem, and she’s always enjoyed the slight rivalry between them. She’s never been too bothered by the lack of a father figure, and she’s had plenty of fun wrapping the other males in her life around her fingers. She’s always been happy, if only because she lacks the emotional capacity to feel any real emotional pain. As far as she’s concerned, there’s no reason not to be happy. Her confidence is turning heads but as she narrows in on one boy, she begins to challenge her superficiality.
Also challenging Roman with new fatherly duties, Nicole’s history begins to unravel and she reveals the real reason she came to Summer Bay.
