Nikkie Verdile, the Merc with the Stomach [Done]

What happens when you are born into one of the greatest family of cooks in generation yet do not possess the culinary skills that your parents have? The answer is eat all the food that you can't make! With this mentality of making the best from a situation, Nikkie grew up to be a very optimistic girl who always did what she could around the house and her parent's restaurant in exchange for the promise of a good meal at the end of the day. With her outgoing nature, she never had trouble making friends, although she never felt that those friendships were meaningful enough to keep them as she grew up, which always made her feel lonely at some point. After a couple of years, Nikkie developed an aura and soon following she was able to summon a tall shadowy figure. Not knowing what to do with this newfound power that their daughter acquired, her parents tried to encourage her to not use it and to eventually forget about it altogether, but she wouldn't hear it. Nikkie actually trained using this thing to help, which actually worked. It followed her commands without a word and one day managed to help some huntsmen that were dealing with Grimms. Her summon was really powerful, but it would vanish away after a single blow would land and would then hurt Nikkie, which made her go into some extreme training to endure the pain and feeling weakness felt when it would vanish. It took year for her to manage making it to the power level of huntsmen that she would meet, and yet she never enrolled to Syne Academy. She didn't feel like going to school and didn't thought it was necessary to know about the enemy or the history of huntsmen or Remnant in general and just began to work on her own. Each time she would head out to help villages under attack, the only reward she would ask in return would be food, both because she never needed to get money and also as some sort of rebellion against her parents, trying to find a meal that's better that anything they could make. She got the nickname of "The merc with a stomach" as she went around Vale to help before she was convinced to take a boat to Bellmuse. Unfortunately the ship sank after a Grimm attack, which left Nikkie traumatized and refuses to board any mode of transportation that limits her movement. Now in a way stuck on the island of Bellmuse, she keeps doing what she does best, all for the good food of this new Kingdom.

Sitting in the middle of Skylight Woods, just east of the nearest town, leaning against a tree was a girl with long silver hair who was humming to herself, her green and red eyes scanning the area as she waited. A tall and dark figure manifested next to her, showing up from a cloud of smoke that came from the girl's back. The figure took a similar pose as the small person, sitting against the tall tree before it turned its head towards her. She met eyes with it before she began to speak while shaking her head slowly. "Nope, we're at the right place, we just gotta wait. Of course I'm sure, what, you think I'm stupid or something? No, say it, say that I'm stupid if that's what you think! I dare you Mike! I double dare you! Oh so I'm an idiot!? Well guess what: you're an idiot too then 'cause you're part of me!" The girl made funny face at the figure before giggling, "Mike" not having spoken a single word. The two waited for a couple of minutes before the shadowy humanoid vanished back into smoke and seemed to fuse back with the girl as she stood up and stretched before sighing. The tree she was leaning against now became the center of a circle drawn by her footsteps as Nikkie began to walk around the large plant, bored and waiting.
