Carrie Nichols

**Carrie Nichols** is a character role-played by Nica.

## General Information and Origins

Carrie Nichols is a resident of Purple County. She is a civilian who quickly became integrated into the city in her early days by being introduced to the people who regularly ran sanitation. Through her early interactions in the city, she quickly discovered an ambition for one day becoming an EMS in the city so that she can help people and protect her loved ones.

She moved to the city without a real sense of purpose in hopes of discovering herself and meeting people. She grew up in a family that was consistently on the move, and never really had a place she considered home. From a young age, she was always driven to work hard, and never had time to really relax or consume any form of entertainment. Her family didn't have any televisions or computers, so she never had the opportunity to watch any TV or movies and is often lost when people make references to such things.

Her first jobs in the city were those of running sanitation and this is where she met the most significant people in her life, namely one Yaotl Guerrero who became her partner in everything in the city, and Dash Esco who taught her the ways of the city during her first few days.

## Beginnings

Through the tight knit friendships she formed with Yao and Dash, she also met Wesley Harding, Josh Hawkson, and Joshua Roman. These five individuals are the people that Carrie holds dearest in the city and over time she developed a very special, and different connection with each of them.

### Yaotl Guerrero

Yao and Carrie were introduced to one another by Aspen through sanitation. At first Carrie only thought of him as the goofball who hung around and helped people with sanitation, but she quickly learned that he was involved in more than just running garbage in the city. When she purchased her home in Chumash, she was looking for someone whom can live with her and offer protection, and proposed the idea of being roommates to Yao who soon accepted. They two of them built a connection and eventually after much teasing from their mutual friends decided that there was something there and became boyfriend and girlfriend.

Overtime they've built a solid and stable relationship and their feelings grew stronger. They now share several vehicles together, recently acquiring a twin and opposing coloured set of Nightblades. Due to the closeness of their relationship and feelings for one another, Yao's crew has decided to put a standing threat over Carrie's head. If Yao ever messed up, or information about the crew was ever leaked, Carrie's life would be on the line.

### Dash Esco

During her first few days in the city, Dash showed her around and taught her all about the different kinds of jobs available in the city. Dash has always been a friendly form of comfort for Carrie and after the many times he'd rescued her from criminals, or from being stranded in the mountains, she knows that she can always rely on him to be there if she needs someone. He also promised her that should anyone ever wish to hurt her or hunt her down, he will be ready to protect and avenge her.

### Wesley Harding

Yao introduced Wes to Carrie as an additional person to run sanitation with them. Yao and Wes met early on in their time in the city and became quick best friends. Carrie was at first very skeptical about Wes due to his consistent teasing, particularly in relation to when Carrie and Yao had first become roommates. She didn't appreciate how Wes would constantly pull her leg and attempt to put Yao's life in danger.

Eventually though, she grew to enjoy Wes's sense of humour, and despite his constantly teasing, he was always loyal, checked up on her, and helped protect her when trouble arose. The two of them started to hang out together on their own and tried to pull pranks on the city such as leaving kiki toys in people's mailboxes under the guise of "The Kiki Bandit", or becoming Santa's sanitation elves. Their growing connection eventually turned to one of big sister and little brother, and they now refer to themselves as such in the company of others.

### Josh Hawkson

Josh was another person whom Carrie met through sanitation. Carrie met Josh when he was just a hangaround for the BBMC. Upon learning that Carrie was often referred to as Yao's Sugarmama, he asked to be adopted by the couple. Carrie initially laughed at the prospect of having another grown man to support in the city, but over time, Josh's friendship and loyalty had her start to seriously consider the idea, especially as her relation with Yao grew and they had the capacity to add more to their family of tight knit friends.

Carrie and Yao officially adopted Josh at Christmas time, presenting him with official documents which all parties signed, as well as a bunch of BBMC Pixel Cards. Since becoming an official member of Carrie's family, Josh has been an exemplary Son , constantly checking in on Carrie, and giving her toys from Burgershot and UwU cafe so that she can complete her toy collections. He also introduced her to the rest of the BBMC family. Though Carrie could never become a member of the club, the club have embraced Carrie as a Bondi Mum.

### Joshua Roman

Joshua met Carrie during a particularly stressful sanitation run where crew members became injured, keys to the truck were lost and Carrie was required to drive the sanitation vehicle amidst a bunch of angry racers. Josh talked Carrie down from a panic attack she was experiencing until they made it safely back to sanitation at which point Yao decided it would be fun to startle Carrie in a new outfit of his and hold her up at gunpoint. Josh immediately shot Yao to protect Carrie and got gunned down himself by one of Yao's crewmates. Once everyone made it to Pillbox, Yao took his revenge for the shooting and shot Josh again. Somehow this experience bonded everyone into a close knit friendship.

Due to his positive nature, fun attitude, and willingness to protect Carrie, it was very quick that Carrie started to trust Joshua with her deeper thoughts about the city and any concerns she had. He quickly became her best friend and is now lovingly referred to as 'Bestie'.

## Sani Arc

She was introduced to sanitation by Aspen, who was the first person she met when she left Alta Street apartments. This is how she made her initial money in the city and met her first few friends. She quickly became aware of how valuable materials were to keep the city running, and decided that this is how she'd contribute and make a living until better opportunities arose.

One day in the middle of transporting materials to Hayes, she was pitted off the motorcycle and robbed of over 30k worth of materials by two passers by who held her up and decided to dump her body in an abandoned construction yard. Dash came to her rescue in an attempt to save her life hunt down the individuals who robbed her. They were unsuccessful in their attempts to regain the materials she lost, however upon reporting the incident to Hayes, one of the managers who was there decided to pay her anyhow. Ever since, Carrie opted to always sell her materials to them to repay their kindness.

She started to build a rapport with the Hayes employees and regularly ran sanitation runs to ensure they had enough stock. She also offered to pay other sanitation workers for their help, and purchased materials off of people who bad-mouthed Hayes so that Hayes always ended up with the materials anyhow.

She became recognizable around the city as Sani-Carrie, and met a few other purchasers of materials who now regularly put in orders with her because she runs sanitation so frequently with a reliable crew of workers she's familiar with.

## EMS Arc

On one of her first days in the city, the city was under siege by a Dark Wizard. During this event, Carrie was blown up outside of Pillbox with her sanitation crew, and was rescued by volunteers and brave bystanders to the events of destruction that raged across the city. Once rescued, Carrie quickly jumped into action to aid those who helped her, and tried to rescue as many people as she could by helping bring people to Nancy.

Due to the kindness that was shown to her that day, the next few days while she was out driving with friends or out on sanitation runs, she would always help those she saw who were hurt and requiring assistance on the side of the road. During one particular encounter where she rescued two individuals who had fallen victim to a gas station explosion, she was rewarded for her kindness with a donation of 50k to help her out as she started out in the city.

These events lead to Carrie's growing passion and interest of becoming an EMS in the city, and she would always let anyone who asked know what her aspirations were in the city.

During a chance meeting at Paleto Farmer's Market, Carrie and Yao stumbled across Liesel Lawst who informed the two of them that she was starting up a company to run outside of Pillbox with the eventual goal of getting government approval and funding to bring an official EMS unit to the city. Carrie quickly jumped at the opportunity to help out in the early days of Red Heart EMS, and her dedication was quickly recognized to earn her the title of EMS Lead.

She proudly held her position and helped Red Heart EMS with administration, promotion, and hiring to build a strong core team, and train new EMS so that hopefully their company can achieve their ultimate goal.

During a meeting with a high command member of the PD, Carrie, Yao, and Liesel were told all about the challenges of obtaining government funding. Upon seeing her friends dejected by the challenges, Carrie brought it upon herself in order to contact additional government personnel and business partners and ultimately was successful in obtaining government funding for the EMS program.

Carrie worked as an EMS under the new government regime for a few weeks before she came to the realization that her preferred to be her own boss and took a permanent leave of absence from her post.

## Business Arc

From her sanitation days, Carrie got a taste for running businesses and appointed herself as a trusted businesswoman. She acquired several connections whom would reliably contact her for the sales of materials and used her connections as a recruitment pool to join herself and Yao on regular sanitation runs. Yao and Carrie eventually used this pool of contacts to determine who would be a good fit for the New Dawn Mafia.

Carrie's extensive list of contacts introduced her to members and leaders of several different groups in the city and due to her reliability, her group of workers would frequently receive contracts and get hired by different groups and individuals to fulfill material orders. Carrie took it upon herself to prioritize the contracts based on profitability for her workers and the need of the customer. Despite her reliability as a business woman, she refused to provide materials to Skull Gang or BCG due to an altercation that occurred between those groups and her son.

Ever since she purchased her home on Barbareno #24 she's been experimenting with interior design and upon having been requested to design a home for her fellow EMS co-workers, she slowly began making a name for herself as an interior designer. She started out designing Bachelor homes on Forum Drive for several different members of GSF before moving on to houses and eventually moving on to mansions. To date, she has designed over 40 different homes in Los Santos and provided counselling and sales tactic information to other designers in the city.
