Nikki Freeman

Sick and obsessive devotion: She manifests an absolute dependence on Bear, wanting to be glued and fused to him every second. Dehumanized puppet behavior: Nikki acts like a puppet without autonomy, with rigid and artificial mannerisms that seem to simulate the few things Bear understood about affection (such as his relationship with his pet cat). Extreme jealousy and possessiveness: Any threat of separation generates cold and calculating reactions. Explosive and destructive violence: The forced affection transforms into pure physical and psychological terror, making her dangerous to everyone around her. Grotesque distortion of affection: As she saw Bear only as a brother before the spell, her mind mixes this fraternal dynamic with the imposed romantic desire, generating bizarre behaviors (such as the distorted story of Hansel and Gretel that she creates). While this bizarre and violent copy commands external actions, Nikki's true soul remains conscious, but locked and isolated in a kind of "spiritual cell" within her own body, watching in horror and without consent to everything that the entity of desire does.

Her friends are Sara Harper, Ian, and Bear.

Bear: A romantic, insecure, and cowardly boy who is in love with Nikki and does so through the wishing haystack, where a person can only make one wish by breaking the haystack... Bear made Nikki love him more than anything in the world, making her obsessed with him.

Ian: Bear's best friend and also Nikki's ex-boyfriend after two years together, but their relationship had already ended.

Sarah: A friend of the group who is also in love with Bear, but doesn't have the courage to tell him her feelings, and Nikki tries to help her friend have a relationship with Bear without him realizing it.

Nikki also had a childhood friend who had drifted away over time... unknown.

19-year-old Nikki presents herself as a beautiful young woman with long black hair. She loves taking care of people, is kind, friendly, and charismatic around her friends, with a bright future ahead of her.

(often translated or adapted as Crazy Nikki or Freak Nikki). She hated this nickname, which stemmed from a childhood trauma, but her friend Bear used it provocatively. Freaky Nikki
