ABOUT.
nicky was the only child of the gomez family, an average hawkins family that never particularly stood out in anyway
she is the distant cousin of barbara holland aka barb, but due to nicky's blunt and unsympathetic nature, they never got along growing up
now, that is nicky's biggest regret, because while she always thought of her cousin as too soft, she admired how kind a person she was, and sometimes she wishes she could have been more like her
when barb went missing, no one knew how deeply it affected nic, not even her parents
she still does investigative research to try to find out exactly what happened to barb, but she always stops short of the truth, because she refuses to believe in anything otherworldly or supernatural (and she smelled bullshit all over the explanation the government gave to her family)
outside of her cousin, nic keeps to herself and always has her head in a book
she never makes any time for socializing, because she uses all her time to study for college or work to put more money towards college
some of peers and instructors think of her as an antisocial genius, but that's only half true, because she is definitely smart, but she has worked hard to achieve her academic excellence
she hopes to become a best selling author one day and is currently working on a novel (the main character is based off of barb!)
overall, she is willfully oblivious to all the weird things happening in hawkins, but she will have to accept the truth someday if she wants to reconnect with barb
