She, however, can be also confident and courageous as she fights against injustice. She is secretly in love with Alex, her best friend since they were little, but is always unable to say what she feels because of Emma, Alex's crush.

In the second season, Nicole is more open and fearless. She sometimes fights with Alex, who is now her boyfriend but they always make up. After winning *The Talent* with Alex & Co., Nicole realizes music is not her passion and has to decide whether to leave Alex or leave the band.
