Biography
Nicolette was born to two loving parents that taught her to be kind no matter the circumstances. Her mother died when she was young, and her father when she was 12. Since then she has been at the mercy of her stepmother, Claudette, and two stepsisters Honey and Melody. Her only stepfamily that was ever kind to her was the eldest of Claudette's daughters, Estelle.

Nicolette was abused by Claudette mentally, physically, and emotionally until she was taken by Frisna's King's Sorcerers to marry Prince Gladwin after going to the ball where she met a mysterious masked man.

Nicolette refuses to go with the sorcerers, but one of her friends––Alexis––is one of them, and he knows she's going to resist. So he uses a spell to paralyze her and they take her to the castle where she is forced to marry Gladwin while she is still thinking about the masked man.

After she finally falls in love with Gladwin, she learns that the sorcerers are going to take her back to the cottage. That night she learns that Gladwin and her masked man are the same person, which makes it even more difficult to accept that she is being forced away.

When she is taken from Gladwin and brought back to Claudette, she is knocked out only to wake up trapped in the cottage's cellar. To escape, she reluctantly burns the cottage only to then be captured by the witch Gladwin has been trying to protect her from. While being held by her, she learns that she is pregnant and tries to escape. It's not until the witch takes her to town and she meets her friend, Rose (a Snow White), that she is able to formulate a plan of escape.

Nicolette feeds the witch a white flower (an item that is supposed to temporarily disable a witch's magic) and sets up a trap to burn the magic permanently out of her with Rose's help. When Gladwin and Alexis come to save her, they assist in executing her plan. The witch is taken away and Nicolette and Gladwin, who is overjoyed to learn that she is with child, are reunited and return to the castle.
