Name: Nikki

Gender: Female

Age: 2-3

Breed: Bernese Mountain Dog

Personality: Nikki is friendly, loyal, and good-natured. She can be slightly motherly or a leader at times, but not to the point where it can be annoying. She doesn't mind work, and enjoys seeing a job well done. Due to being a church member's dog, she avoids violence and fights when she can, and does say small prayers at times.

She would never ignore a dog in need, and would always stand up for the underdog. She isn't exactly stubborn, but she won't stop something unless she has finished it. She isn't the bravest, but she will stand by a friend no matter what, due to her loyal nature. She can get irritable at times, normally in the morning after a restless night.

In general, however, Nikki is a sweet, caring dog who's a great friend.

Fears: Nikki hates underground places, such as caves. She also fears losing the ones she loves.

History: Nikki grew up having a close bond with her two siblings, Ty and Ali. Their father died soon after they were born, too young for any of them to remember even his scent. Their mother was soft-spoken and shy, and when the pups were finally able to open their eyes and walk, the small family would've fallen into disorder if it hadn't of been for their mother's owner. Despite the lack of a dad, the siblings had an easy childhood.

Then came the day they were to be sold to new owners. Ali, the youngest was sold first. Nikki was the oldest, and was sold last. She grew up a block away from a Mormon church, her owner being a church member. This had an impact on Nikki, and she found herself listening to the family prayers each night. Eventually, she began to say her own.

She grew up with a life similar to her childhood, easy and almost care-free. Eventually, she had to be sold, due to her owner's moving. She was sold to non-members, but continued to pray. Her owners had one adopted child, a small japanese girl they named Alicia. Nikki and Alicia had a close bond, which seemed to grow everyday.

Then came the day Nikki was hit by a car. She was immediately taken to the vet. Luckily, no serious injuries were found, although the shock almost killed her. But finally, she was allowed to go back home. After that, she was taken care of more, and watched more frequently. She didn't mind, and continued to enjoy her life.

Other: Her right eye is blue.

Relation to Balto: Nikki's grandmother was a friend of Dusty
