Nikki Kade/Relationships

The relationships between Nikki Kade and other members of the WWA, from Nikki's perspective.
=== The Divine Angels ===
The Divine Angels are a long running faction in the WWA. Nikki's career began in opposition to an early version of this faction due to a rivalry with Priscilla Divine, but she was ultimately recruited after Divine defeated her, and went on to become a central member of the group.
==== Priscilla Divine - Ally, Loves (romantically), fears, respects, deep reverence, possible major mother figure ====
Priscilla is the most influential and important person in Nikki's life. She was Nikki's first rival in the WWA, but physically and mentally dominated Nikki so completely that Nikki became subservient to her. Nikki's entire approach to life as a wrestler in the WWA, that of taking what she wants by any means necessary because nice girls finish last, is shaped by Priscilla Divine and her early experiences with her. Through following Priscila, Nikki has gone on to have a successful career to date.
Outside of the ring, Nikki's admiration and reverence for Priscilla Divine has extended into a strong romantic attraction which may have started during Nikki's early days with Priscilla when Nikki started to derive masochistic enjoyment while receiving Divine's punishments. Notably, while Nikki enjoys the luxuries provided by Divine, her love and loyalty to her is not financially motivated.
Despite their relatively close ages, it is likely that due to the great power and influence Divine holds over her, Nikki subconsciously views Priscilla as a mother figure.
==== Sapphire - Ally, Loves (platonically), respects, slightly envies ====
Nikki considers Sapphire to be her first real friend in the WWA and frequently refers to her as her best friend and even as being like a sister to her. The two have very compatible personalities and are known to collaborate on Lonelyfans in their free time. Nikki respects Sapphire as an ally as despite initially being a manager, she proved herself to be a capable wrestler and despite being fired by the WWA, she was able to thrive, and win her first title. NIkki was very upset when Sapphire was fired by the WWA, and retaliated by trashing their offices along with Amy Flame.
Due to their close relationship, Sapphire's death is the most traumatic experience of Nikki's life to date, and she attempted suicide in the aftermath. Her mental state improved significantly once she discovered Sapphire lives on as a ghost, but she still deeply misses being able to hug her friend.
Sapphire's childhood in a stable home with two loving parents is the thing Nikki craved the most but could never have, and she is slightly envious of this. However she did not resent Sapphire for it and instead seemed more interested in learning more about Sapphire's parents and life with them, especially her mother Gemma.
==== Amy Flame - Ally, Loves (romantically and platonically), respects, proud of ====
Much like Priscilla, Amy was once Nikki's enemy. In an effort to confirm her then relatively new world view as a follower of Priscilla Divine, Nikki had intended to crush Amy, who was at the time a newcomer. However, Amy defeated her, and quite quickly. This set Nikki on a path of obsession and desperation to prove herself to Priscilla and those that questioned her choices, which culminated in a rematch between Kade and Flame which Kade won.
After this match it was Amy who became fixated with Kade, which led to a hotel rendezvous between the two. Shortly after this, Flame moved into the Divine mansion. Nikki respects Amy as an ally, given that Amy has defeated her in the past, and is one of Nikki's closest friends along with Sapphire. Amy was the first person to be kind to Nikki in a romantic context as her prior partners lacked Amy's gentleness. However Nikki's unstable nature and unpredictable personality didn't lend itself to the type of relationship Amy deserved.
Nikki takes deep personal pride in any success Amy achieves, as she believes she had an impact on Amy's life and career that is similar to the one Priscilla had on hers. Nikki considers Amy to be very intelligent, and more knowledgeable than her on matters outside the WWA.
==== Colby Jefferson - Ally, likes, slightly envies, respects ====
Nikki hasn't known Colby for as long as she's known the prior 3 Angels, but the two have swiftly developed a friendship and mutual respect. Kade respects Colby, who she considers to be very clever, and who proved herself as a competitor by defeating Miss USA, who had become a menace to the Angels. Nikki considers Colby's hobby of watching old wrestling tapes to be relatable as she too enjoyed watching wrestling, though the types of wrestling they enjoy are quite different, with Nikki preferring high flying modern GJPW action.
Nikki is slightly envious of Colby's romantic relationship with Amy, as it is the type of relationship she craves, and that Amy had once offered her. However deep down she knows she's not suited to such a relationship, and that Amy is better off with Colby. She appreciates the positive role Colby plays in Amy's life and has been observed being playful with the couple at the mansion's pool.
==== Lightning Nika - Enemy, hates, does not respect ====
Despite their shared status as members of the Divine Angels, Nika is one of Nikki's main rivals. Nika's hate for Nikki started early in both their careers when Nika caught dojo coaches she once respected viewing Nikki's Lonelyfans page. 
Nikki on the other hand does not respect Nika as she has largely failed in her wrestling career to date. Therefore she views her as a waste of Priscilla's time, and has bullied her. Since returning from the Dungeon, Nika has retaliated against attempts to bully her, and Nikki hasn't tried again since.
Nika has expressed a desire to remove Nikki and her friends from the Divine Angels, while being a Divine Angel is the thing Nikki holds dearest. 
==== Lucy Lincoln - Neutral, dislikes, resents, Does not respect ====
Nikki and Lucy have clashed in the past due to Lucy defending Nika during her altercations with Nikki in the early days of the Divine Angels.
Despite Lucy rarely being an active member of the Divine Angels, Priscilla Divine holds her in high regard as Lucy sheltered her after her first mansion burned down. As a result, Nikki sees Lucy as a threat to her status as Priscilla's right hand, and resents her for this as she has had to work much harder to earn Priscilla's trust and approval. 
Lucy's status as the girlfriend of Sapphire hasn't led to any complications between Nikki and Sapphire's relationship or any improvements between Nikki and Lucy's as Nikki rarely encounters Lucy nowadays and may be completely unaware the two were dating.
Nikki does not respect Lucy as a wrestler, as she showed Holly mercy despite everything Holly had done to her and Sapphire, which Nikki considered to be the wrong choice. She encouraged Priscilla to cut ties with Lucy in the wake of this incident, but this request was denied.
=== Family ===
==== Cassie Kade - Sister, loves, resents, respects, fears, major mother figure ====
Cassie is Nikki's older sister who raised Nikki after their mother died. Prior to meeting Priscilla in the WWA, Cassie held the role as the most influential woman in Nikki's life and Nikki's fighting style is in part based off of Cassie's. While admiration for Priscilla has largely replaced the admiration she had for Cassie, she still respects her and having seen what Cassie is capable of, would never willingly get on her bad side, or allow her friends to do so.
Nikki loves her sister and admires her. Cassie loves her too, as evidenced by the lengths to which she had gone to raise her and keep her safe, including killing her own husband. However Cassie lacks the ability to provide the nurturing presence that Nikki needed, and her seeming indifference and occasionally harsh words has complicated the relationship between the sisters. 
Nikki and Cassie have not spoken since Cassie publicly chastised Nikki for being pinned by Sheila Foster during a tag match. Nikki resents Cassie for this incident, which served as a flashpoint for the prior difficulties between them, and Nikki has since referred to other members of the Divine Angels as her real sisters. She takes some degree of pleasure in the idea that Cassie would be hurt if she heard her saying this.
==== Coco - Ally, fears, resents, respects ====
Nikki was initially deeply fearful of the voice in her head, however as Coco has only ever provided advice in her self interest or to the detriment of her enemies, she has come to appreciate her. She was initially unaware that Coco temporarily taking control of her body is the reason she survived her suicide attempt after Sapphire died. 
Nikki resents Coco as her presence makes her feel like a weirdo, especially when others catch her talking to her as to them it seems she is talking to herself. Her mother spoke to herself in a similar way, which led to her suicide, so Cassie would beat a young Nikki whenever she spoke to herself until she stopped doing it. The association with these beatings led to further resentment as Nikki blamed Coco's existence for her suffering. 
In the current day, Nikki has often been seen to view Coco's presence as a weapon in her favour, once remarking that two heads are better than one.
==== Robyn McDaid - Likes, does not respect ====
While Robyn hates Nikki and sees her as a bully, Nikki likes Robyn due to what a pushover she is, but does not respect her. When the two were children, Nikki would thoughtlessly use Robyn as a human crash test dummy whenever she wanted to experiment with wrestling moves, and made fun of her stutter.
=== Rest of the WWA Roster ===
==== Sola Fire - neutral, does not respect ====
Sola and Nikki's paths often cross, always as enemies. While Nikki doesn't hate Sola, she should be considered one of Nikki's main rivals and given their respective ages, it is likely their rivalry will continue for years to come. 
Nikki does not respect Sola as she views her and the other dojo girls as her polar opposites, and proof that her ideology that nice girls finish last, which was instilled in her by her experiences with Priscilla, is true. These girls succeeding, especially at her expense, is a challenge to her world view, while their failures confirm it. 
Nikki has defeated Sola in each of their three encounters, spanning two singles matches and a tag match. However, Sola was never in the ring during the tag match, as Nikki wrestled that match almost exclusively against Cactus Jane and defeated her before Sola could intervene.
The two share a mutual rival in the form of Nika. After a mentally ill Nika started referring to Sola as her 'husband', Nikki lured Sola to a park and kissed her in public in an effort to hurt Nika.
==== Sheila Foster - likes, respects, minor motherly figure ====
Nikki initially disliked Sheila due to a rivalry with her sister which she was drawn into. The resulting tag match ended with Sheila pinning Nikki, which was then followed by Cassie harshly rebuking Nikki. At first, Nikki blamed Sheila for this.
Enmity between the two seemed destined to intensify once Sheila emerged as Nikki's rival for the Intercontinental title, but Nikki grew to become fond of her during their interaction at a beachside bar. 
Nikki was ultimately able to defeat her, but the difficult nature of the win gave her respect for Sheila. Sheila's seniority and kind, almost motherly attitude toward her made a big impression on Nikki in the brief time they interacted. Nikki was upset when she found out that Sheila was released by the WWA, though this was overshadowed by her simultaneous and more intense feelings of anger when the same was done to Sapphire. 
==== Gemma Stone - likes, respects, motherly figure ====
Nikki adored Sapphire's real estate agent mother before she even met her, due to everything Sapphire told Nikki about her. When the two finally met Nikki quickly became deeply attached to her due to her status as an important person in her best friends life and being the exact sort of mother Nikki always dreamed of having. When Gemma Stone won the Divine Trials and was set to face Priscilla Divine, for the first time since meeting Priscilla, Nikki felt conflicted about what outcome she wanted, though ultimately chose Priscilla.
Gemma's death alongside Sapphire was a deeply traumatic event for Nikki, and during Nikki's suicide attempt, she expressed a desire to meet Sapphire and Gemma in heaven, and be adopted by Gemma so she and Sapphire could be sisters and she could finally have a mother.
==== Mighty Milf - neutral, respects, minor motherly figure ====
Nikki initially disliked Mighty Milf as she viewed her as the public face of WWA corporate, who she blamed for Sapphire being fired. To this end she attempted to humiliate MM and WWA by extension by forcing her to participate in a nude Lonelyfans photoshoot should she lose a title match to her. Nikki made this stipulation official by defeating Milf in a non title match while allowed the winner to choose a stipulation. Afterward she referred to Milf as the most difficult opponent she had managed to win against, indicating respect for her as a competitor.
Later on, instead of antagonising Nikki during her pursuit of the IC Title, Milf instead invited her over for a homecooked dinner, which she attended alongside Sapphire. Mighty Milf's motherly nature gave Nikki a soft spot for her.
==== Ash Romero - dislikes, respects(inner Nikki), does not respect(Nikki) ====
Nikki pursued Ash during her IC title reign. While Nikki publicly referred to Ash as Fireturd, mocking her GJPW name Firebird and claimed to have skipped her matches when watching GJPW, it was clear that Nikki's inner voice respected Ash as a competitor as instead of answering Ash's open challenge immediately, she insisted that Nikki let Ash wear herself out against other competitors before attempting to fight her. It is likely that her inner voice reflects Nikki's true feelings on Ash and her public statements about her were acts of bravado. 
Ash's vandalism of a portrait of Priscilla Divine, who Nikki loves and idolises, is the primary reason Nikki dislikes her. Nikki's public disrespect of Ash became less of an act and more of a genuine feeling after Ash relinquished the IC title and retired prior to their match, as Nikki felt Ash ducked her because she was too old to keep up, especially when Ash returned shortly after for the Divine Trials, and was swiftly defeated in the first round.
==== Holly Hope-Again - hates, respects ====
Nikki hates Holly for an attack on Sapphire, her best friend. She participated in an incident where Holly was thrown off a bridge by the other Divine Angels.
Nikki respects the way Holly handles her business, as while she is a dojo girl and was at odds with The Divine Angels, her attacks on Sapphire and Lucy mirror the type of actions Nikki and the other Divine Angels themselves would take. Nikki views Amy and Holly's status as the two most successful dojo graduates as a validation of her philosophy that nice girls finish last, as they are the two dojo girls whose actions most closely align with Nikki's beliefs.
==== Violet Beauregarde - hates, does not respect ====
Nikki's hatred for Violet originates in a match between the two where Violet had to defeat Nikki to gain entry into an IC title match. Despite Nikki grabbing the ropes, the ref counted three and gave Violet the win. Therefore Nikki didn't view the incident as a loss, however as it was recorded as one, it still meant she failed Madame Divine. Coming to the conclusion that Violet must have paid off the referee, she requested her sister dispose of him. The ref was never seen again.
The next meeting between Violet and Nikki was scheduled for an Intercontinental title match some time later. However instead of facing Violet as she was scheduled to, Nikki was instead forced to face Nyx, who she considered to be a different person. As Nikki views Violet as having needed to pay off a ref to get past her and then resorting to having someone else fight her battles for her, Nikki does not respect Violet and views her as a lesser competitor.
==== Miss USA - hates, respects ====
Nikki once feared Miss USA as her blonde, blue eyed appearance combined with her unpredictable and psychotic actions reminded Nikki of her early experiences with Priscilla. However, she developed a hatred for her during an incident where she attacked the Divine Manson during Colby's birthday, putting her and her friends in danger. 
When Miss USA was captured and tortured in Divine dungeon, Nikki utilised tickle torture which led to Miss USA pissing herself. The incident ended with Nikki pushing Miss USA off a ledge while in a wheelchair due to a remark she made about her dead mother. Having tortured Miss USA with the other Angels, Nikki's prior fear for her faded though she still views her as a dangerous individual, and therefore respects her.
==== The Queen - neutral, respects, fears ====
Nikki initially took on an irreverent attitude during her brief time in The Queen's castle, but her stern response and the fact she had numerous guards at her disposal who would not hesitate to kill Nikki if The Queen wished it, quickly earned Nikki's respect and fear.
==== Kelly DiVanna - dislikes, resents, does not respect. ====
Nikki disliked and resented Kelly as Priscilla initially took more of an interest in Kelly than in Nikki after Kelly arrived at the mansion.
This feeling deepened once Kelly joined the Widowmaker Society, as Nikki sees this group as Cassie's attempt to replace her, meaning Nikki has at separate times viewed Kelly as a competitor for the affection of the two most influential women in her life.
Nikki does not respect Kelly as she has been beaten by Little Beaver and Robyn McDaid, two people she considers to be weak wrestlers, and views her familial association to Priscilla as an insult to Priscilla. 
==== Kasumi O'Brian - dislikes, resents ====
Nikki dislikes and resents Kasumi as she sees the Widowmaker Society as Cassie's attempt to replace her.
==== Onigiri - neutral, respects ====
Nikki disliked Onigiri initially as she was part of Holly's team that took on The Divine Angels, and made fun of Nikki for gaining weight due to the alleged effects of the Divine Mansion's pool. Her dislike grew when Onigiri beat and scarred Sapphire in a cage match.
However Sapphire and Onigiri became friends, and Nikki's perception of her improved upon learning this. Nikki respects Onigiri as she defeated Sapphire, and survived numerous piledrivers from Priscilla during the match between Team Holly and The Divine Angels.
==== Mare and Camo - neutral, respects ====
Nikki first encountered Warhorse during a trios match alongside Amy and Colby, who were feuding with them. As they defeated her team, and defeated Immaculate connection again after, Nikki respects them as competitors.
==== Karna - neutral, does not respect ====
Nikki does not respect Karna as she is a former dojo girl, and thinks of her as the weakest member of the Warhorse trio.
==== Nico Katz - dislikes, does not respect ====
Nikki first met Nico during a three way rivalry early in her career that also included Lightning Nika. This led to a triple threat match, which Nico won by submitting Nika. Nikki disliked Nico for claiming that she had beaten her, as she had not directly done so since it was Nika that tapped out to her, and challenged her to a match, which Nikki won. 
As Nico had claimed to have beaten Nikki without pinning or submitting her but was then beaten when given a chance to do it one on one, Nikki does not respect Nico. Additionally, Nikki sees Nico as someone who, much like Nika, started her career at a similar time as her, but failed to achieve as much, which resulted in her laughing off Nico's interest in challenging for the IC title after a long hiatus many months later, especially when she cited the same triple threat match.
==== La Jefa - neutral, resents, respects ====
Nikki was brought into conflict with La Jefa due to her sister Cassie's rivalry with her. This led to Cassie rebuking Nikki when they lost the match, which Nikki resents La Jefa for. As La Jefa was later able to defeat Cassie, Nikki views her as dangerous and respects her. 
==== Hailey Britannia - dislikes, does not respect ====
Nikki does not like Hailey due to comments Hailey made about her very early in her career. In retaliation, Nikki vandalised Hailey's recording studio. As she was able to do this without retaliation from Hailey, she thinks Hailey is scared of her, and therefore doesn't respect her. 
==== The Big Gal - Neutral, does not respect ====
Nikki met her when she briefly operated as a heavy for Priscilla during their rivalry. She was Nikki's first win in a match where Priscilla was at ringside in The Big Gal's corner. As Nikki and the Divine Angels now do Priscilla's dirty work, she views The Big Gal as an Angel who never was.
==== Skelly Skelly - Neutral, does not respect ====
Nikki met Skelly during an incident at a bar during her rivalry with Amy Flame, which ended with Amy being kidnapped. Later, when Priscilla challenged Skelly for the world title, Skelly tried to avoid the match. As Nikki also deeply feared Priscilla during their rivalry, but still faced her regardless, she does not respect Skelly, who was unable to do the same. 
After Skelly died, Nikki participated in a skit with Priscilla where the two parodied a 'knockout match' between Priscilla and Skelly, with Nikki playing the role of Skelly after infuriating the crowd by mocking the deceased former champ by coming out to her music and in her costume. 
==== Cactus Jane - dislikes, does not respect ====
Nikki dislikes Cactus Jane due to being brought into conflict with her by her sister, and does not respect her as she was able to defeat her with relative ease during their tag match, before she was ever even able to tag Sola Fire in.
==== Kelly Omega - wants to fight, respects ====
As a child, Nikki watched Kelly Omega's performances in GJPW and aspired to one day match her explosive in ring style and brash, cocky persona. Now a wrestler herself, she wishes to one day test herself against Kelly. 
==== Zunigoth - intrigued by, wants to fight, respects ====
The rumours about Zunigoth's specific magical abilities have led Nikki to view her as something of a living version of the purple warrior, her favourite dildo. Additionally as Zunigoth is a strong competitor, Nikki respects her and wants to test herself against her.
==== Little Beaver - dislikes, respects ====
Nikki dislikes dojo girls she considers to be too nice and naive for their own good, and Little Beaver fits this mold. Nikki and Priscilla once forced her to fight Jen Eddie in the dungeon. She refused and let Jen hurt her to save her then endured the torture herself. Nikki secretly respected the willpower this took.
==== Jen Eddie - dislikes, does not respect ====
Does not like or respect Jen Eddie, especially after the dungeon incident.
