She is very sweet, caring, kind, and overall just lovely. She tries to act like she has a rough exterior but really she is just a big o’ teddybear. She is a great best friend and will always be there for you. She always finds a way to take any bad day and make it treasurable. She is incredibly talented and creative. Her eyes have a sweet soft look, but yet have more beauty and complexity to them. Nikkel is absolutely gorgeous, from her lovely hair to those sweet eyes to her cute little button nose. A lot of people don’t understand her true beauty and she gets overlooked, but I will always be there reassuring her that I’ll be there for her, no matter what. Also, her profile is absolutely stunning and she always has the best style. She just needs that right guy to give her the absolute world and more.
