Character Name: Nicole Rose Desjardins
Fandom: OC
Character Journal: courting_death courting_death
Position: Mortuary Staff
A Description of the Character:
Physical
Nicole is fine-boned and tiny. She stands at 5' 6". Her skin is creamy white with freckles, and her eyes are a striking blue-grey color. Her hair has a tendency to appear either jet black, brunette, or reddish-brown, and it is slightly wavy and kept at medium length.

Accent
Nicole's voice is very soft. When she speaks, her vocabulary can be very stilted, and she often inserts French phrases. When tired, angry, or just not watching herself, she drops the "American" accent and gains a "French" one.

Personality
Nicole is morbid. She has absolutely no sense of what is normal for everyone else and is infamous for sharing the "gross" details about a body she's just worked on. She's every light-stomached police officer's nightmare. Her temper flares easily, although she tends to keep to herself. If she is angered, she usually keeps a grudge. You've heard that paybacks are a bitch? It's all the fault of the French people like Nicole.

History
Nicole was born in Lyon, France in 1981. Her parents, Elaine and Jean-Luc Desjardins, were ambassadors who traveled the world, and so Nicole grew up speaking many languages. She never stayed in one place for more than a year, much to her own personal dismay when she realized that she could never keep up with friends. She disliked trying to switch schools as often as Elaine and Jean-Luc moved them around. However, despite all the moving around, Nicole retained French citizenship.

In 1995, at the age of 14, Nicole began to rebel silently. She became a gothic child, dyeing her already-dark hair black, and refused to keep up with her parents' social lives. She slipped silently into the backdrop of her parents' ambassadorial lives and became fascinated with human anatomy.

In 1999, at the age of 18, Nicole went to college in America, and she adopted what she refers to as an "American" accent. Despite this, her own accent still returns at times. She took anatomy and physiology classes, and she became extremely interested in forensic sciences. At the age of 22, she graduated and became a forensic analyst/mortician at a hospital in San Francisco.

However, in 2004, she was recruited by the Stargate program to do an analysis of a body, and shortly thereafter, returned to the hospital, never breathing a word of what happened in the compound. Impressed by her work, the general called her back in 2007 and asked her to transfer into the Stargate program. Seeing an opportunity she'd hate herself for missing, Nicole agreed.

Upon the ship's next return to Earth, Nicole was sent to Atlantis to be put to work on the mortuary staff.
