NiCO

NiCO (spelled Nico normally) is a Finnish MIST scientist and Pencak Silat fighter debuting for Dead or Alive 6.

A master of tech and weaponry, NiCO is an intelligent and somewhat immodest scientist who fights with electro-shock gloves. She was recruited by Victor Donovan to helm the latest project for M.I.S.T., and had enough fighting prowess to be a threat to the ninjas, although she had her own personal reasons for undergoing the project.

Appearance
Owing to her status as one of MIST's top researchers, her primary attire depicts her with a white overcoat and top, as well as an ID card on her left breast. She also wears blue shorts and has a blue shirt underneath her white top, as well as white socks and arm braces. She also wears white shoes with blue heels. She also wears blue-colored electro-gloves that cover all except for her fingers and thumb, which she uses in battle. She also has teal-colored hair, making her one of only three female fighters to share an unusual hair color (the others being Ayane and Honoka, having purple and salmon pink-colored hair, respectively). Unlike the other female fighters exempting Marie Rose, she is not physically well endowed. She also wears teal-framed glasses.

Personality
As befitting of a scientist, she loves to do experiments, and is also shown to be asocial and somewhat arrogant, as evidenced by her stating to Christie that she has no reason to explain herself to the latter when she attempted to question her motives for doing MIST's experiment.

Etymology
NiCO's name is likely an allusion to NiCO3, or Nickel Carbonate, which is used in electronics and electrochemical processes such as electroplating. Her teal hair color is also the same color as certain NiCO3 reactions such as precipitation in a solution.

Kokoro
She encountered Kokoro at some point before, and was responsible for providing her with a photo depicting Kokoro and Helena as children near Fame Douglas.

Raidou
NiCO was the one responsible for restoring Raidou back to life as a cyborg henchman of Donovan. She also implied that his restoration merely acted as a prototype.

Christie
She had some acquaintance to Christie, as she freely admitted that Raidou's revival was the prototype stage for a new experiment. However, she also was somewhat cold to her, as she made clear that she was under no obligation to state what her personal motives for partaking in an experiment were to Christie when the latter requested to know that information.

Trivia

 * NiCO has an strong resemblance to Phonon the Chermeti and Bloody Chaos from the Under Night in Birth game series, she also quite similar to Hastune Miku.
 * One of NiCO’s intro quotes appears to be a reference to a signature catchphrase from titular protagonist of Kamen Rider Build: Sento Kiryu/Takumi Katsuragi, as noticably heard in her Japanese voice set.

 * NiCO is the first Finnish fighter in the series.
 * Her outfit's colors also resemble that of the Finnish flag.
 * NiCO's hair clip is the skeletal formula for Benzene, a colorless, flammable, and sweet smelling carcinogen.
 * NiCO's name is likely an allusion to NiCO3, or Nickel Carbonate, which is used in electronics and electrochemical processes such as electroplating. Her teal hair color is also the same color as certain NiCO3reactions such as precipitation in a solution.
 * NiCO often poses her index, middle finger, and thumb perpendicular to one another in her intros or victories. This orthogonal finger arrangement, known as the Right-Hand Rule, is used throughout physics, especially when dealing with electrical currents, electromagnetic fields, and cross-products.
 * NiCO is the second main Silat practioner in the video fighting game history since Baraka from Mortal Kombat series (only Deception - Armageddon).
 * NiCO is the second flat-chested female fighter in the series after Marie Rose. Coincidentally, both characters also originated within countries belonging to the Scandinavian region of Europe (Marie Rose and NiCO belonging to Sweden and Finland, respectively).
 * Both of them, look similar to one another in terms of facial features and body type as well.
 * Despite her small chest, however, her pre-order oppai mouse pad features her breasts prominently on the oppai portion.
 * NiCO is the second fighter to employ electricity into her attacks, after Raidou. Unlike Raidou, however, her electric abilities were the result of her shock gloves.
