Nicole Nash

Nicole Nash is a character played by JavaShorty.
== General Information==
Nicole Nash is a Chief Deputy for the Los Santos Sheriff's Department and the Lead of the Police Personnel and Training Division, Badge #9-S-08.
==Physical Description==
==Background Information==
Nicole Nash was a deputy from the small town of Walla Walla, Washington with a criminal justice degree before she moved to Los Santos. Before moving, she also met a previous police commissioner Dominic Toretti and his wife Shelby Lane while aboard a summer cruise. Other than getting to experience their slightly toxic but somehow stable relationship, Nash was able to explain her previous police work and impressed him enough to later receive a letter of recommendation that she would use to get hired into the Los Santos Sheriff’s Department.
Nash had several years of police work under her belt in Walla Walla, including a great deal of experience training deputies while also holding a position of higher rank. That experience has translated into her helping sergeant Metzger set up and run the new police training department. However, that previous experience has also left Nash with a deep-rooted desire to never hold a high rank again. During the first sergeant interviews she told Department of Public Safety Director Bob Smith that she did not want any rank, but did want to help run things. She has also gone so far as to threaten Sergeant Nixon that if she was promoted above her current rank of senior lead deputy she would probably murder him.
Unsurprisingly, Nash did not follow through with her threats when promoted to Sergeant by Bob Smith. She did, however, ask if she could turn the promotion down to which he said she could not. She continues to detest having the Sergeant position while going back and forth between wanting to be a lower rank again and talking about being a higher rank because Connie insists that higher ranks do less work with lower responsibilities.
Despite her frustrations with holding a command position and difficulties running the training department, Nash was offered and accepted the position of Lieutenant within the LSSD. Since acquiring the rank she has dedicated more time to the department's overall stability while the training department continues its constant recruitment and training process. 
==Relationships==
===William Cole - Ex-Boyfriend ===
Nash and William Cole dated after several weeks of awkward tension that was plagued by Cole’s general obliviousness, police responsibilities, and petty disputes. Nash’s frustrations about his cluelessness and lax attitude reached its peak after dozens of missed hints and a date with Freedom that was done in part to make Cole jealous. It took some gentle nudging and advice from Annie Webber and deputy Felicity Fox to finally get them on the date they had first agreed too almost a month prior.  
The two stayed together at the Irvine Inn in a room alongside deputies Travis Wilcox and Dane Maverick until their breakup.
On April 28th Nash broke up with Cole at the LSSD while Joe Ferraro and Kate McNamara listened from behind a wall. While it was unclear whether William Cole understood that the two had actually broken up, a conversation between Louis Bloom that William Cole revealed he had gotten the hint over the following days.
