=== Childhood ===
Niki was born to a single mother living in the Slums of Viodoxa City. They were quite poor and didn't have enough money to afford a modest living for themselves.
At 10 years old, Nikis' mom went to get her medicine in the outskirts of Viodoxa City, unfortunately for niki while she was there she lost her mom... Niki cried for hours until a Half Parrot Half Human man named Parrot Norcician asked her what was going on, she explained that she'd lost her mom and that she needed somewhere to sleep until her mom found her. The Man took her in and filed for foster care of Niki. While she was there she quickly realized that Parrot was very rich, and she asked him where all this money came from he replied kindly: "there's a few things you need to know about me" Niki was curious as the man Explained that he was from the Seahaven Imperial Family and that he had come to Viodoxa for a diplomatic visit after that the man told Niki that she'd need to go to sleep cause he had a Big Surprise for her Tomorrow. As Niki woke up she saw a familiar face in the outside of her window it was her mom, Parrot had found her Mom! Nikis' mother greeted her with Tears running down her face and took her back she thanked the man many times and offered to give him money but he understood that they needed money more then he did, since that day Nikiu and the Man kept in contact sending letters to each other every month.
At 11 years old, when the March of the Exiles happened and Niki lost her mother in the second war of Viodoxa City. For a whole year did she live on her own in the slums of Viodoxa City, trying to honor her mothers last wish, for Niki to stay alive.
=== Adoption into the Bakura Dynasty ===
A year passed after the war of Viodoxa, and a young man, Delta van Nachtig, found her sitting on the side of the Road as he was rebuidling Viodoxa City. After asking her what was wrong, she told him that his mother died in the war. Delta, having also faught in the wars, felt bad for the young girl and decided to take her with him to the safety of the Palace of longlasting Joy. Niki was shocked at what rich people could afford and also wanted to live in a house, which wasn't just a bed and a kitchen. Niki asked Delta if she could also live here, after which Delta went to his father to ask him, if he could adopt Niki as his Daughter. She was shocked by this but liked it, because she would finally have family again.
After Delta adopted Niki into the Bakura Family, they lived in Kalai Bali for 3 years. At the age of 15, Niki decided to go adventuring and leave the safety of her home.
=== Travels through the far lands ===
Nikis travels began by going to the southern part of Cymru, where she visited her Grandfathers town Ryoujing. Going further west, she found herself in the very hostile area of Turtuga where she didn't remain for long. After hearing about the great Empire of Uldarash, Niki knew where she wanted to go, although before she reached Uldarash, she found herself in the town of Lumaire where she was warmly welcomed by Faern Luth (Lindorm). She liked it in Lumaire and settled down for a while. She opened a small shop with shiny things she found on her travels in the house she was living in. Soon, she was bored of Lumaire, because not many people lived there, and thus, she started travelling again. 
Niki travelled far and wide but she couldn't find a place that really took her intrest. She went back to Viodoxa and met her father in their Palace, telling him that she will be travelling even further, to the far away lands of Eldham.
==== Arriving in Atlechia ====
Niki had travelled for another year in Eldham when she was confronted by the young prince of Atlechia Block_Summoner. He asked her if she would like to come with him to Electroborough, and she complied. Arriving in Electroborough, she was stunned by the city, just as she was in Lumaire, but even more overwhelming. She moved into a house together with Block_Summoner and lives there in the friendliest community she ever saw.
=== Call for War and Returning to Rathnir ===
At the age of 19, Nikis Father called her back to Viodoxa, to fight the J-Horde, who illegimatly settled in Viodoxas abandoned cities to form a nation that shouldnt exist. The fights were easy victories against the outnumbered forces of BabaJ and the mercenaries they hired. The battle was won, and scared of total defeat, the leaders of the Horde didnt even show up to their last stand.
After the war, Niki and Delta met back at Kalai Bali, where Delta explained her that while she was gone in Eldham, he adopted another Child, a boy named Bahnys Bakura. But as many people Niki quickly started calling him Bun. Niki and Bahnys dont see each other very often but they get along quite well.
====== Founding of Limani ======
A few weeks after the Wars at BabaJ, Delta sent Niki on a mission to the Lands of Bardonia, where she would take a few men with her and occupy an island off the Coast of Fluenta. Delta has gotten intel that the J-Horde wants to settle there, so Niki was a countermeasure against an enemy she already knows how to fight.
Out of the occupation, soon a Port arose, which Niki called Limani, the Port of Wheat. She told her men that they served their duty and could return back to Viodoxa, and so Niki was all alone, in a land she didnt knew, to build up a Town on her own. She spent many weeks patching up the buildings and changing the look from a dry cobblestone wasteland to a nice Port made out of various types of Deepslate. She got Grass, Flowers and life into the island that once looked so dead. Soon, because of her respected status in the Nation of Canisia, the first ship, a trading vassal docked in Limani.
To show her devotion and loyalty to Bardonia, Niki started the construction of a massive Destroyer that will protect Limani and the Coasts of Bardonia. Minutes went to Hours, Hours to Days, Days to Week, Weeks to Months. 3 Months were spend on the construction of the MSS Liodef. Niki soon learned how to steer it and became attached to the waves and wind of the open sea.
=== A pirates Love ===
A few months after the construction of the MSS Liodef, a young Pirate and his crew from Borhammar arrived at Limanis Port. Niki quickly caught feelings for the Caiptain, who she found out was the Archduke of Borhammar Fury Astaseul.They talked a lot about Pirates, the waves and the sea. But also about the other side of piracy. Fury told Niki all about the pillaging and burning down of towns. Niki felt really compelled by all this, and she was no stranger to war or brutality. She witnessed the wars of Viodoxa City, wars in Atlechia, Bandit Attacks on Nikis Brother Bahnys Bakura, and the war against the J-Horde. 
So, after about a week of Fury staying at Port Limani, they completely restocked, and Niki went with them, beginning her pirates life and her relationship with Fury. Over the course of their journey the got closer day by day, and when they arrived back in Borhammar City, they had already fallen in love with each other. It also didn't take long, for them to get back to Limani, and get married there by Furys Mother Madsost.
=== The Frozen Fleet ===
At around the age of 22, Niki received word from her friends who settled in the lands of Eldham, far away from her home. She had already been in Eldham, in the nation of Atlechia before, and now her friends settled in the nation of Nexus. They had claimed a few islands off the coast of the mainland and called it their now Capital of the Pirate Nation of Zaidan. Since Tortuga hasnt shown any direct form of wanting to aid their fellow Pirate brothers and sisters, only offering them to pay for re-settling and leaving their homeland, Niki took actions into her own hands. She took a small fleet of ships out of the port of Limani, where even though she had left the Port, the crew of her flagship and the inhabitants of the port still felt more of an allegiance towards the one that built the Port and their Captain, than their new overlord Coltmaere. Roughly a week of preparation later the "First Limanan Fleet" set sail for the East, to support those who need aid. Unknown to them, the "First Limanan Fleet" would soon be known under another name. A few storms brought the Fleet off course and made them travel too far east of their destination, delaying their travel for another 2 days, but as they saw the coast of Nexus for the first time, they got caught in a sudden and mysterious blizzard, supposedly caused by the being called "Segra", that would soon strike on Eldham. Many of their men died and got wounded, with only a hand full of them surviving Segras Blizzard. When they woke in the cold, they saw the entire fleet other then one ship being completely frozen in place, with no way of moving it back out. When they tried to break the ice, it almost instantly came back, harder than before. From that point on out, the "First Limanan Fleet" would only be known as "The Frozen Fleet".
The one remaining ship that hadn't been frozen sailed back to Coltmaere to report what happened, against Nikis orders. Surprisingly, after a week it came back and anchored outside of Nexus' Capital Phoenix for reconnaisance purposses. When Zaidans members woke up to a Frozen Fleet right outide their shores, they soon realized that the help they were so relieved to become, had been annihalated. With their gear destroyed, all of the members of the fleet stayed in Zaidan for the time being.
==== Living a dream ====
The freezing temperatures of the Frozen Fleet had become way warmer, but the ice still wasnt smelting nor could it be broken, but Niki still decided to clean up and repair the ships, so she could live in them and maybe, sail with them once again. A young woman soon approached her and offered to aid her in repairing the damaged ships. They started to chat a bit and Niki got to know that her name is Peach. Peach hasn't been born, and also not been married into the pirate culture but is still fascinated by it, wich surely surprised Niki a lot. At this time, Niki had only known pirates who were born in a pirate culture, or like herself, married a pirate. A person that was seriously fascinated by the bloody and dangerous life of a pirate was something Niki didn't think existed, but she soon realised, that this exact thinking probably created the first pirate. Niki and Peach soon met a lot after they first met and became really good friends, and for the first time in a while, Niki felt something that she thought would never feel again. It was a similar feeling to when she met Fury, but also something completely else. Was it because Peach was a woman? Or was it because of something else? She didn't know... but she knew that she had fallen in love again. Niki was overwhelmed, she was married and didn't want another love, but something just felt so right about being with Peach. But she knew that she was already married and as far as she had heard, Peach was engaged to a man called Chemical. She thougt to herself: "Is this how my life will go? Finding love but not being able to confess because we both have someone else?" The next day, the most unexpected happened. Niki and Peach met again on the ice of the Frozen Fleet, and before a word was said, Niki thought of how to confess her love for Peach. Before she could find a way however, Peach started hugging Niki and breaking out in tears:
"Niki, i love you, but we can't, we both have someone else we offered our heart to..." Both of their faces were flooded with tears and Niki also started hugging Peach: "I don't care, they don't have to know. We can be the forbidden lovers if you want, just let me stay with you, i love you too."
=== The Cornflower Era ===
After Niki had received word that her child Eric and Grandchild Allessandra need help in their newborn nation, the Phoenixdom of Nord-Carn. Niki didnt even know she had a grandchild, so she said goodbye to Lady Peach for a while and headed back to Rathnir. Once she arrived, she saw what a mess of a nation her kid had created. Dead cities, no army, vassalised and weak. Eric granted her a position in the Veiron Assembly, but to the publics and Nikis surprise, Tortuga was currently on a downfall. Allessandra, the new acting Grand Phoenix took the opportunity and united with the neighboring nation of Sironia, without notifying any of their own government. Niki felt betrayed by her leader, but she payed respect to the chain of command, as she did so often. The newly formed Archonal Federation of Sironia-Carn was a diarchy, one of the governments Niki hated most. But she couldn't get herself to betray her Family.
===== Rotting Father =====
It was around this time, where Niki's father fell terribly ill, affected by a curse that rotted his body. She still had more affection towards him than to her own child for a reason she couldn't explain. She headed back to the town of Elefthria, where nothing had changed for the last...? Niki remembered when Delta would spend days and nights building new houses, for his Vision of Elefthria becoming a great city one day. She hasn't been here for over eight years, and nothing changed. The construction site from eight years ago hasn't changed, the windmill still had the same cracks and the town hall the same missing piece of glass. But two things changed, Delta and the Cave of beginnings. There was an aura around it which Niki just couldn't describe. When she finally got to see Delta, she witnessed the horrors the "curse" had done to his body. Pure red veins from the left eye running down his body and how his muscles rottet away leaving him emaciated. She stayed with him for some time, but one day he got out of his house, slowly trembling towards the Cave of Beginnings. Niki watched him touch the stone walls of the cave, when a red flash came from inside it and a ray of light struck the town hall, Delta turned around and started attacking Niki but he was no match to her fighting skill. "What are you doing dad?! I'm your daughter, Niki! Don't you remember?"She shouted at him while pinning him down to the ground. Whatever she did, he showed no reaction, so she swiftly knocked him out and carried her back to his bed. Too much, all this was way too much for the small amount of time she spent in Elefthria, and she decided to leave Delta back in care of the doctors.
==== Age of the Cornflower ====
Citadel Before she went to Elefthria, Niki had found ruins of an old castle, right on the Sironia-Carn Galadonni border, which she decided to rebuild and form into the Headquarters of her own Mercanary Group, the so called "Cornflower Guard". But as time went on and she realised that the Archonal Federation needed a stable Military, so the Cornflower Citadel became the new Military HQ of the Federations Blades, the Army which Niki had created for Sironia-Carn. Soon, the storage filled with all kinds of riches, Weapons and Armors and to get some help, she called over one of her best friends she met while she was visiting Lunaris, Allysa Astaseul-Luon. Both of them wanted to meet up either way since Allysa had become the new Phoenix Empress, taking over the throne from Amy, another person Niki became great friends with. As both of them met at the Citadel, Allysa was impressed by what Niki had done to the place. The both of them talked a lot i the following days and instigated the non-official "Cornflower Queendom" in Sironia-Carn. It was just a joke, but to them both it meant so much. Allysa let Niki have the title of first 'Cornflower Queen' and let the best Lunari Blacksmiths forge a blade for the newly crowned queen. The finest weapon Niki had ever held and a symbol of strenght that comes with the title of the Cornflower Queen, the Cornflower Queens Blade. The repairings of the Citadel had stagnated to where they almost completely halted because of border disputes and a Nikis appreciation of the Archonal Federation steadily declining as a union with the neighboring nation of Galadonn almost came into place. The entire situation all together with Delta, Galadonn and the Citadel caused a rapid decline in Nikis mental health, and even in her dreams, some blonde women kept appearing, telling her to give in. Niki had no idea what she should give into. What she knew, is that she wanted to keep the Citadel and a nearby town run by her brother Astral safe, and so she thought of making the Cornflower Queendom reality. But the dreams of the women in blonde kept appearing, even during the day and they slowly drove Niki insane.
=== Disappearance ===
On a day like any other, Allysa wandered into the Citadel, just to find Niki passed out in a corner, the Cornflower Queens Blade stabbed through her left wrist, her blood tainting the grass around her red. Allysa instantly picked her cold body up, rushing to the nearest doctor in Praestenia but Nikis body faded away in her arms when a red flash completely got rid of her body, and the blonde haired woman standing in front of Allysa, with a cookie in hand. 
"Thats the two souls i needed..." she said before disappearing in another red flash of light. Since then, no trace of Niki was found, but Allysa can still feel her presence as if Nikis soul still survived.
