Nicole, later dubbed "Nicole the Holo-Lynx" is a character from Sonic the Hedgehog (SatAM) and is a major supporting character in AniCity. She is a highly advanced artificial intelligence created by the Kingdom of Mobotropolis that serves as Sally Acorn's faithful companion. She originally only existed in the form of a handheld computer unit, but gradually became more and more lifelike in demeanor, and soon desired to "live" as Sally and her friends do bt developing a complex holographically simulated body that can be projected where resources are available. Her database of knowledge, hacking skills and a number of included sensors make her a very valuable part of her princess and her heroic friends in their fight against the powers of darkness.

## Personality

Originally, Nicole's behavior was completely logic-orientated, with logic being the only motivation behind any decision, and she seemed lacking in autonomy.

As time went on though, she became much more lifelike, and as of now possesses many of the traits of a living being which she is fully regarded as by her friends. She is friendly, helpful, and a loyal companion, having helped her friends at her own risk more than once. She also often expresses concern and support for others, though is not without the ability to mock or express defiance. She also tried to use slang terms as a way to "better communicate" with the others, but she dropped that rather quickly.

Despite her experiences, Nicole is at times out of touch with the life-like side of herself, reverting to the more logical thought processes of a machine as she dismisses the illogical nature of magic and wishful thinking. Despite this, she is capable of appreciating beauty as she experiences the wonders of having an actual body, and of helping others in times of difficulty. In addition, Nicole has become somewhat philosophical, realizing how important it is to preserve the wonders of the world they are fighting for.

## History

### Pre-Series

Nicole was created by some of the top scientists of Mobotropolis's Kingdom of Acorn. Upon Nicole's activation, presumably out of an idea to give the kingdom's young princess a gift to help in her teachings, the computer would be turned over to a young Princess Sally. Sally quickly identified her by gender and asked what "her" name was, her father then suggesting the name "Nicole" after a past queen of the House of Acorn. Sally became quite fond of her new device, though she quickly learned that Nicole responded to all situations with logic rather than emotions.

Though Nicole would retain memories of these events, it would be with a different perspective than after she gained sentience, which took place sometime after Sally fled to AniCity, taking Nicole with her.

## Powers & Abilities

Nicole possesses a variety of abilities in both of her forms. In her handheld form, she can interface with other mechanical systems, allowing her to access and download information or even provide her friends with control over various unfriendly technologies. She can display different topics in the form of holograms, including past events she has witnessed. She can also interface with other mechanical systems, allowing her to hack into them, break passwords, and downloading data. This also includes the ability to remotely detonate electronic explosives. Nicole is also equipped with various sensors that allow her to detect various types of energy. She is also equipped with a small laser that can cut through metal. Although whether in her computer body or in her holographic one, she possesses a genius-level intellect, as she can process information and possess knowledge far beyond the average person, most notably an extensive database of information on nearly any subject. In only a few seconds, she can also analyze and compute a problem or future scenarios.

Nicole can project a small hologram of her lynx form from her hand-held. When fitted with a special power source, she can fully assume her lynx form, though it dissipates if the source runs out. In her holographic form, she has fully functional limbs and the use of several senses. While her hologram form is vulnerable to attack, no damage is incurred to Nicole so long as her handheld form remains unharmed. Nicole also is able to create barriers of an unknown greenish energy, which are strong enough to block laser fire.

When inside of Digital Space, Nicole's abilities are expanded remarkably to the point she is capable of virtually anything she wishes, making her a fierce opponent. There, her powers are incredible, ranging from modifying and controlling existing virtual structures to creating new material, such as weapons-she seems to favor a pitchfork-like implement. She is also capable of producing digital energy blasts and creating firewalls, though her strength is not unlimited.

## Notes

Nicole is easily the biggest example of Sally's story mixing the SatAM continuity with elements from the original Archie comics. As a way to show this, she starts out in her computer form for about the first half of the first season before creating her holo-form; although as a slight subversion, she already shows essentially a fully developed personality before she shows off her body. There's even a nod to how she started to get a little bit of a personality towards the end of SatAM's run, with her using various slang terms similarly to Sonic in her final few appearances (although whether or not to include the parts involving her creator and the *real* reason she was created is currently up for debate).
