=== TV Series ===
Nico Minoru is a Wiccan and the daughter of Robert and Tina Minoru. After the death of her older sister, Amy Minoru, Nico crafted a goth appearance to isolate herself. Upon reuniting with her childhood friends, they discovered that their parents used PRIDE to cover up ceremonial sacrifices of the Church of Gibborim. While exploring her mother's office, Minoru found the Staff of One. She teamed up with her friends and formed the Runaways. Having been framed for Destiny Gonzalez's murder, and with no other choice, they are forced to run, as PRIDE releases the Gibborim known as the Magistrate: Amy’s killer.
While on the run from PRIDE, she begins to suspect teammate Alex Wilder of secretly associating with PRIDE, though this is proven untrue. During a showdown with PRIDE, three more Gibborim are set free: the Magistrate’s Wife, Daughter and Son, who take over the minds of Gert’s mother Stacy Yorkes, her mother Tina Minoru, and Alex Wilder respectively. 
Meanwhile, Nico’s powers begin to grow as she receives visions of the witch known as Morgan le Fay. She later aids in defeating the Magistrate and her family, avenging her late sister, which frees the people that the Gibborim had possessed. She is then manipulated into freeing Morgan, who begins her takeover of the world, and kills Nico’s father. The Runaways decide to team up with PRIDE, and together, they banish Morgan and her coven back to whence she came.
