## History

Nik was raised in the swamps of Louisiana. Her mother was a prostitute and a junkie, and she never knew her father. She grew up extremely poor, and ran away at the age of 14 when her mother began hinting around that she needed to start taking on johns of her own. After running away she lived on the streets of New Orleans for a couple of years before being taken in by a well known voodoo queen with a shop in the French Quarter. Mama Marie was the one to tell Nik who and what she was, and began her training, though after her death Nik began teaching herself and has since developed her own style that is a mishmash of cultures and beliefs.
