Lightning Nika/Relationships

== Relationships ==
===Nikki Kade===
Nemesis - Disrespects - Hates
Nika's mortal enemy, her bully, and a fellow Divine Angel. Despite their mutual animosity, the two have yet to engage in a fair one-on-one match. Nikki Kade has a history of bullying and insulting Nika, with particular emphasis on Nika's poor wrestling abilities, as evidenced by her winless record. Despite the animosity between the two, Nika has expressed genuine hints of amicability towards Nikki. For example, Nika offered to share her food with Nikki, believing that this would help alleviate Nikki's "insanity." Nika also invited Nikki to play WWE Live 23 with her, despite harboring feelings of spite towards her. Nika's naivety is also apparent in her willingness to participate in a baseball game with Nikki. Nikki intended to inflict punishment via beating her up with a baseball bat and record the act because of her dismal performance in the Hardcore Tournament. Nika mistook this invitation as a genuine attempt at a friendly baseball competition. Nikki and her "friend" expressed unexpected sympathy towards Nika, likely due to Nika's alarming naivety.
===Nico Katz===
Friend - Respects
Following Nika's concussion and being pinned by Nico Katz during a triple threat match, Nika harbored a deep-seated resentment towards Nico. When the news of Nika's concussion reached Nico, she expressed genuine concern and inquired about Nika's well-being. Despite this initial setback, Nika eventually moved on from the incident and suggested that Nico do the same. Despite being a member of a heel group, Nico holds Nika in high regard and considers her to be a genuinely good person. Though initially at odds, it appears that the two wrestlers have put their differences aside and maintain a cordial relationship
===Sola Fire===
Companion (Nemesis) - Loves (Hates)
Sola Fire, a fellow member of the WWA Dojo and a friend of Nika's, once faced off against Nika in a match. Due to Nika's lack of preparation, she suffered her second defeat at the hands of Sola Fire. Although Nika harbored a childlike, deep-seated spite towards Sola following the loss, she did not openly express it. Despite this, Sola remained oblivious to Nika's feelings and displayed good sportsmanship after the fight. Nika's spite towards Sola had dissipated as she became preoccupied with managing herself against the bullying of her fellow Divine Angel, Nikki. However, after being taken in by the Divine Angels and a new look with her victorian maid dress, she lost her way and abandoned her yellow jacket, a memorabilia of her time in the WWA Dojo and her friendship with Sola Fire and Little Beaver. Noticing Nika's struggles, Sola made plans to rescue her friend from the clutches of the Divine Angels and bring her back to the right mindset. Sola's concern for Nika's well-being and her willingness to intervene on her friend's behalf serve as a testament to the strength of their friendship.
===Little Beaver===
Former Friend - Disrespects
Little Beaver is also one of Nika's beloved friends back in the dojo. Beaver also shared Sola's aspiration of rescuing Nika from what she referred to as the "pale devils," the Divine Angels.
===Priscilla Divine===
Respects
After being taken in Priscilla Divine's mansion and being branded as a Divine Angel, Nika subjected herself to debauchery, abusing Priscilla's luxurious amenities, and because of this, Nika was eternally grateful to Priscilla. However, Nika's commitment to training waned, and her physical abilities suffered. Nika's indulgent and immature tendencies began to flourish, evoking memories of her privileged upbringing under the care of her affluent parents. Nika decided to test her culinary skills by utilizing Priscilla's state-of-the-art kitchen and attempting to bake a cake. Impatiently waiting for her cake in the oven, she was distracted as her infatuation with Victorian maid dresses led her to try them out in the maid quarters, along with a butler's suit. She inadvertently disguised herself while wearing a butler's suit and went to Priscilla's bedroom that she was prohibited from entering. She even donned Priscilla's prom dress and slept in her bed, unknowingly causing a fire that destroyed most of the mansion. The cause of the fire was still unknown but some of the maids had speculated it was the oven Nika used to bake her cake with. Feeling guilty, Nika left and subsisted on stolen food she obtained from Priscilla's mansion. Nika was apparently also in possession of a refrigerator that she had taken from Priscilla's mansion and used it to store the food she had pilfered from the same place. When she met Priscilla again, Nika felt guilty for stealing the maid costume she was currently wearing and proposed to remove it in front of her, expressing her shameless reverence for Priscilla.
===Lucy Lincoln===
Friend - Respects
A fellow Divine Angel. Although "The Hammer" Lucy Lincoln often comes to Nika's defense against Nikki's bullying, Nika remains vulnerable to Nikki's insults in Lucy's absence.
===Keron Croakie===
Enemy - Dislikes
In Waifu Rumble, Keron Croakie who couldn't contain her excitement, unleashed multiple standing shooting star presses on the supine Lightning Nika. This became viral in Tweetstagram and because of this, Keron garnered many fans for how silly it was, on the other hand Nika became the laughing stock of the internet for such a pathetic showing. Nika confronted Keron because of this and the frog was not pleased at the slightest. Keron justified her actions by claiming that it was for the enjoyment of the audience, and criticized Nika for being self-centered and not wanting to provide some entertainment for them.
===Amy Flame===
Disrespects - Dislikes
Amy Flame's blazing start in her wrestling career had caught Nika's attention, filling her with a desire to become like Amy; a nascent rookie. Upon hearing this, Amy was touched by Nika's kind words and expressed her utmost gratitude and support. However, Nika's admiration soon turned to envy, leading her to hatch a sinister plot with Holly to undermine Amy's success. Nika believed that Amy's initial victories were mere strokes of luck and that established wrestlers like Skelly showed favoritism by giving Amy too much attention, neglecting other rookies who deserved it equally. When Amy got wind of Nika's deceitful scheming, she confronted Nika and accused her of lying. Nika finally proved herself as a heel, admitting that she never wanted to rely on the favor of established wrestlers like Amy did, preferring to stand on her own even in the face of bullies and the likes of Nikki like she had been doing all this time. When Amy lost in the first round of the Hardcore Tournament, Nika felt that there was no need to continue her feud with Amy, believing she had the last laugh and that she was right that Amy only had a few lucky flukes in the beginning. They eventually faced off against each other where Amy was victorious.
===Holly Hope-Again===
Enemy - Respects - Hates
Nika genuinely believed in Holly Hope-Again's strength and that she was the future of WWA. Nika tried to convince Holly that they could undermine Amy's flourishing wrestling career if it continued to grow any further. The two of them shared a mutual understanding that there was an evident display of favoritism within the WWA. They pointed out that while Skelly and Keron had visited Amy in the hospital after she was poisoned, other rookies like Sola had been admitted without a single visit from any of the wrestlers. Nika tried to persuade Holly to join forces with her, and even though Holly trusted Nika as a person, Holly was wary of Nika's motivations, suspecting that she might have been influenced by Priscilla or Nikki in some way. In order for Holly to align herself with Nika, she demanded that Nika relinquish her maid persona first. Unfortunately for Nika, her one-sided loss in the first round of the Hardcore Tournament caused Holly to lose all respect for her. They eventually faced off against each other in a No Holds Barred match where Holly effortlessly won.
===Violet Beauregarde (No Not That One)===
Enemy - Disrespects - Likes
Violet Beauregarde (No Not That One) had a strong fondness for Nika and desired to establish a close connection with her. However, Nika's insistence on self-improvement and independence led her to reject Violet's assistance. While a part of Nika somewhat found satisfaction from Violet's help, her stubborn nature prevented her from accepting help, believing herself unworthy due to her perceived weakness. Violet orchestrated Nika's abduction and brought her to her house, where she donned Nika's yellow jacket and revealed her disturbing photo collection showcasing Priscilla's cruelty. Confronted with the choice to break away from the Divine Angels or return to Priscilla, Nika opted for the latter, unaware of Violet's possession of incriminating footage. During their private conversation, Violet's attempts to convince Nika to leave proved unsuccessful. She played a video of Nika's escape and left a note detailing her motives. Following Nika's loss in the Rookie Cup, Violet visited her in the hospital, leading to Nika blaming Violet for the defeat. In response, Violet shared her own experiences with bullying before departing, leaving a keychain behind.
===Lillith===
Enemy - Disrespects - Hates
Observing Lillith's seemingly guileless and naive demeanor, along with her naturally imposing presence, Nika endeavored to exploit Lillith's intellectual vulnerability. Nika encouraged Lillith to adopt an even more fearsome facade, aiming to manipulate perceptions in her favor. The strategy involved Lillith to project a menacing image, with the hope that during their confrontation, people would lean towards supporting Nika, who aimed to shake off her negative "heel" image and embrace a more heroic role by vanquishing this "monster."
Despite Lillith's apparent lack of intelligence, she discerned Nika's manipulative ploy and chose not to feign a monstrous demeanor in front of the fans during their showdown. However, the aftermath of the match took a contentious turn. Nika attempted to wield a threat by suggesting she would harm DOG, Lillith's beloved pet goat, a move that incited Lillith's fury. In response, Lillith seized the moment and rendered Nika unconscious by choking her, leaving Nika unconscious. This made Lillith look like a monster, as Nika intended her to be.
===The Boston Crab===
Friend - Respects - Likes
When Kasumi O'Brian threw down the gauntlet and challenged The Boston Crab, Nika barged in. She accused Kasumi of taking an easy way out by targeting a low-ranking wrestler, implying that it was all about boosting her own win/loss record. Instead, Nika proposed a tag team match, teaming up with The Boston Crab herself. She challenged Kasumi to either find a partner to face them both or accept the challenge in a handicap match. Kasumi teamed up with Jersey Devil and defeated Nika and The Boston Crab. Nika felt an unexpected bond with The Boston Crab, despite never having interacted properly before. They shared a common experience of being considered losers and used as mere jobbers for their opponents' success. This connection led Nika to show kindness and trust towards her, resulting in the development of an amicable relationship between the two.
===Jo Behr===
Friend - Respects
Similar to her connection with The Boston Crab, Nika developed a sense of empathy towards Jo Behr due to their shared history of enduring a prolonged streak of defeats. Nika actively participated in training sessions alongside Jo and The Boston Crab, contributing her insights acquired from the Divine Dungeon.
