Nicole is described by the janitor to usually have a sour expression on her face while working the rush hour.
Personality
Nicole is a relatively relaxed person when not on the job. She is very insightful, easily taking notice of the stresses that the doctors on the Rhythm Doctor team go through. Nicole has a silly side as well, making an effort to dance during her shift in Puff Piece. She makes jokes on occasion as well.
Relationships
- Nicole is seen most with Cole throughout Act 2. She admits that she finds Cole "pretty chill", and that she looks forward to seeing him everyday. Nicole also has Cole's morning and afternoon usual coffees memorized.
- Following the events of Puff Piece, Nicole calls The Intern cool and invites them to come by anytime. She then tells them to make themself comfortable in Song of the Sea, noting that they can play on the keyboard if they like. She appears to be fond enough of the Intern to call them her new in-house pianist during Song of the Sea (Night), and expresses that the Intern can unwind at the cafe whenever they like.
- Nicole seems to be on relatively friendly terms with Paige, similarly calling her cool after Puff Piece. She and Paige speak at length in Song of the Sea (Night), where she expresses concern for the doctor. Nicole expresses that she finds Paige "a delight".
- Nicole notes in Seventh-Inning Stretch that Lucky Jonronero is in the hospital, explaining to Cole that he's one of the biggest names on the Middlesea Scales. She then is spotted on the hospital baseball team that Lucky trains in Dreams Don't Stop, and amicably calls Lucky 'Coach', showing she has respect for him.
